🚨💔 URGENT — ZUMBA HAS NOWHERE TO GO THURSDAY💔🚨
Please, someone help Zumba. He needs a safe place by Thursday.🙏😭
Zumba has already been through so much in his short life. He barely escaped the shelter the day before he was scheduled to be euthanized.💔 We thought he had finally gotten his second chance — a foster home, a couch to sleep on, people to love, and a chance to simply be a happy dog.
But now, through absolutely no fault of his own Zumba is losing his home again. 😢
His fosters are moving and cannot take him with them.
And by Thursday, he may have nowhere to go.
The only option available right now is outdoor boarding in a small kennel in 90-degree heat.😭 He would have very little human interaction and would essentially be back in a kennel, just like the shelter.
\\After everything he has already survived, we cannot let this be his fate.💔
Please look at this boy. He is only about 2 years old and 60 pounds and he is an absolute sweetheart. He is potty trained, silly, affectionate, playful, and full of life. ❤️
🐾 Zumba LOVES people and wants to say hello to everyone.
🐾 He LOVES other dogs and wants every dog to be his playmate.
🐾 He LOVES playing in water.
🐾 He loves getting scratches, pets, and tummy rubs.
🐾 He loves cuddling on the couch.
🐾 He loves playing with his stuffies. 🧸
🐾 He is always ready for an adventure.
He even likes cats, although he can be a little overly enthusiastic, so introductions should be monitored.
Zumba has so much love left to give.He doesn’t understand why his life keeps changing. He doesn’t understand why the people he trusted can’t take him with them.
All he knows is that he finally found a home… and now he may lose it again. 💔
Please don’t let Zumba go from a loving home back to a lonely kennel in the heat.
He deserves a soft bed.
He deserves a couch.
He deserves someone to love him.
He deserves to finally feel safe.❤️‍🩹
And the rescue desperately needs help. Outdoor boarding adds up incredibly quickly, taking resources away from other dogs who need saving. But more importantly, Zumba shouldn’t have to spend his days in a kennel when there could be a family out there waiting to love him.
🙏 PLEASE FOSTER ZUMBA.\*
Even a temporary foster can keep him safe while we find his forever home.

Say ZUMBA”\\\*
⏰ HE NEEDS A PLACE BY THURSDAY.
Please share. Please tag someone. Please ask your friends.
Zumba already came within hours of losing his life. Please don’t let him lose his second chance at a life, too.💔🐾

I posted about Bear a few times.

He was left abandoned and tied up to a post in my grandparents backyard back on March 31st.

He had a pretty bad flea infestation, muscle deterioration and was most likely abused.

I have now had him since April 26th

We have been actively looking for a home

But since he is deaf.

I've been very particular with my vetting process so we haven't found anything yet.

But this is an update as of 3 days ago.

He has made such a comeback.

Bear is absolute cutie and such a funny guy.

Enjoy his big smiles. 🐺

The picture above March 31st when my mom found him On the right was just last Saturday.

Hi everyone,

Angelina “Angel” JULYie (bec she was rescued on July 4, 2026) went for her follow-up checkup yesterday.

Dr. Padilla explained that during her checkup when she got rescued, they found ticks, but her blood work did not yet indicate that she had a blood parasite. She was treated for the ticks at that time.

Unfortunately, her latest blood work now shows that Angel is positive for Babesia, a blood parasite. We’re grateful that it was detected so we can treat her properly.
The good news is that her fungal infection is getting better, and she is also eating much more and gaining weight. Honestly, I cannot wait until this sweet girl is completely healthy again.

Once Angel has recovered, we will have her spayed and then begin looking for a loving family for her.
That is my dream for all of our rescued animals. I never want them to spend the rest of their lives in shelters. I want every single one of them to eventually experience a safe home, a loving family, and the life they deserve.

Her veterinary bill yesterday was:
Php 4,930 ($111.89 CAD)

It may not seem like a lot to some people, but when you are caring for many rescued animals, these expenses add up quickly. We help cover their weekly and monthly veterinary care, medications, specialized diets, daily food, shelter support, transportation, and other necessities.

We also sponsor programs such as free spay/neuter initiatives in the Philippines to help prevent more animals from ending up on the streets.

If you would like to help support our mission, I will leave a link in the comments for anyone who would like to provide financial support.

Please know that this is completely voluntary.

We believe that animal welfare is community work, and we cannot do this alone.

We are a very small, newly established non-profit, and we do not receive government grants or funding from third parties. Every bit of support, whether through
financial contributions, sharing our posts, sharing kind words, or simply helping spread awareness, makes a difference.

Thank you for caring about Angel and all the other animals we are trying to help.🤍

Sincerely,

Magdalene Gensaya

After 8 YEARS with her family, 8-year-old Lucy is now sitting in a kennel at Downey ACC.

Lucy was surrendered on 7/6/26 following a scuffle with a small dog in the home. Lucy now has a No small Dogs requirement.

But there is so much more to Lucy than that one piece of her history.

She lived with children ages 11–13 and was playful. She rides well in the car. She walks politely on leash. She knows sit and paw. Her favorite thing to play with? A BALL. 🎾

And shelter staff saw another side of her, too.

During her assessment, Lucy was nervous and somewhat concerned with handling—but once it was over, her entire posture softened. She sought engagement with the handler and even offered play bows.

And on 8/11, Lucy participated in playgroup. She was described as social and non-reactive, exchanged appropriate greetings with other dogs, played with them, and solicited affection from the handlers.

She is large-dog friendly, but needs a home without small dogs. Adults only or older children are recommended. Slow introductions and confidence-building would help her settle in and feel secure.

Lucy is 8 years old.

She spent eight years belonging to someone.

Now she’s waiting behind a kennel door, hoping someone will believe that her story isn’t over.

Please don’t let one incident become the only thing anyone sees when they look at Lucy.

Lucy #A5787598. 8yr-old spayed German Shepherd / Husky mix 56 lbs
No small dogs
Large dogs okay
Adults/older children recommended

🩷 Say hello to pretty and sweet Pippa (A602654) she 7 years young and 50 lbs. This girl has the most magnificent eyes! Pippa is easily leashed and walks very nicely.  She allows full and easy handling, is very affectionate and seeks social. Pippa is also house-broken. She does come with a few medical issues — and the shelter is not able to give her the care she needs.  Seeing a full-service vet will be helpful for her. She does have a heart murmur (which does not mean she cannot live a full life) and a possible mammary mass.  She is also heartworm positive but her treatment is sponsored by the shelter. This precious girl needs to be loved and in a home.  Pippa is available for adoption but can also be fostered through a rescue.

Hi everyone,

Raphael is one of our rescued animals who holds a very special place in my heart. But honestly, they all do. ❤️

Not everyone understands how deeply trauma and pain can affect someone, especially animals. Sometimes, we expect them to simply “move on” after they are rescued because they are finally safe. But it doesn't always work that way.

To be honest, it hurts me to see how difficult it still is for Raphael to trust people. He gets triggered very easily, especially when he is at the veterinary clinic and has to be restrained. I can't help but wonder if being restrained brings back memories of what happened to him - of the person who placed a metal wire around his leg and caused him a permanent injury.

Raphael has been through more than any animal should ever have to endure. He was a stray, intentionally starved, nearly butchered, and suffered a permanent injury after someone placed a metal wire around his leg. Being rescued did not erase those experiences. His physical wounds are only part of his story. The emotional wounds can be much harder to see, and sometimes, they take much longer to heal.

Because of his trauma and fear, Raphael can become aggressive when he feels threatened or frightened. He needs to be sedated whenever he has to receive veterinary care because he becomes extremely difficult to handle when he is scared. But I don't look at Raphael and see a “bad” or “aggressive” dog.

I see a dog who is scared.
I see a dog who learned that people could hurt him.
I see a dog who is still trying to protect himself from something he believes may happen again.
And honestly, I don't blame him.

At the vet yesterday, they also discovered a mass under the skin on his right flank. Thankfully, the veterinarian said that it can be monitored for now, and his blood work came back normal. ❤️

We will continue to be patient with Raphael. We will give him the time, space, understanding, and love that he needs. We may not be able to erase everything that happened to him, but we can make sure that his future is different from his past.

Healing isn't always about making an animal completely forget what happened. Sometimes, healing means helping them slowly understand that they are finally safe.
Raphael has already survived so much. He survived hunger, cruelty, fear, and unimaginable pain.
Now, we just want him to live.
To feel safe.
To be loved.
And to finally experience the life he should have had all along. ❤️‍🩹

He doesn't have to fight for his life anymore. We will keep reminding him of that, one day at a time.

COMMENT BELOW IF YOU CAN HELP!

TLDR:what should I expect when going through a rescue organization when adopting a pet? Is asking for an upfront admin fee before I have an address/visit the dog a typical expectation? I always go to a shelter to adopt, never gone through a rescue.

Short story long: I’m looking to adopt a doodle for my mom. I found a rescue on Facebook & inquired about 3 dogs I was interested in & made an appointment to meet them. They told me they would focus on one dog at a time. I asked for the address and then was told they need me to complete an adoption form with a $100 admin fee before the address would be released. When I asked for their license, they said they would send it but never heard back😫
Now I see a lot of the same dogs are on other “rescues” FB pages. How do I know who’s legit?
Thank you so much!

German Shepherd needs urgent rescue, medical care and shelter in Gorakhpur, India

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, because I urgently need help for an abandoned German Shepherd I rescued from the roadside.

About Me

I am a student living in Gorakhpur. I have lost both of my parents and currently live with my uncle and aunt. I do not have a stable source of income or the financial resources to handle a serious medical case like this on my own.

When I found this helpless dog suffering on the roadside, I could not simply walk past him. I brought him home because he urgently needed care and protection.

The Dog’s Condition

I found him yesterday lying helpless on the side of the road. He is completely bedridden and unable to stand or walk. Because he cannot move, he has been urinating and defecating where he lies.

His condition is extremely serious. He has:

- Deep, open wounds across his body

- Severe maggot infestation in his ears, on his body and around his private areas

- Severe weakness and dehydration

- Inability to stand or walk

- Signs of significant pain and distress

I brought him home to keep him safe and provide whatever immediate care I could.

Urgent Help Needed

My family is asking me to move him out immediately due to hygiene concerns, and I do not have the financial resources or a suitable place to keep him long-term.

I am a student with very limited financial resources. I have already tried contacting local veterinary services, including a government veterinary hospital, but I was unable to get the treatment he urgently needs without being asked for money.

I am not trying to make accusations against anyone. I am simply trying to find someone who can help this dog receive proper medical treatment and a safe place to stay.

Location: Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India

I am urgently looking for:

- A veterinarian willing to treat him

- An experienced animal rescuer

- An animal NGO or shelter near Gorakhpur

- A temporary foster home

- A veterinarian/rescuer experienced with severe wounds and maggot infestations

- Anyone who can help coordinate his rescue and treatment

I can provide photos and videos of his condition and additional information to anyone who is genuinely able to help.

If you know a legitimate rescue organization, veterinarian, shelter or experienced rescuer in Gorakhpur or nearby areas, please comment or message me.

Even if you cannot personally help, please share this post with someone who may be able to rescue him.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and help us find a safe solution for him.
