Our shelter is bustling with activity, filled with the barks and purrs of our furry friends. This past weekend, we welcomed 163 dogs and puppies, along with 71 cats and kittens, landing us at over 440 dogs and 100 cats. While our hearts grow with every new arrival, our space and resources are stretched thin, and we are desperate for more blankets to keep our animals cozy.
<\/strong>
We now care for over 500 animals! Each one is eager for a loving home as they go through the process of being rehabilitated in our care. To ensure they are comfy and anxiety-free, we need to garner more blankets for each of our babies to snuggle up with. Your donation of a blanket will make a world of difference to our furry residents, providing them with the comfort and security they need while they await their forever homes!

A soft blanket is a symbol of so much more. It offers a sense of security and warmth, reduces the inevitable stress of a new environment for our beloved animals, and gives them something that is all their own! After a while in their kennels, the blankets begin to smell like them, and this gives our pups and kitties a feeling of dependability and routine.<\/p>


<\/p>

Washable blankets also help us maintain a clean and healthy environment for our pets. If they have an accident or get a little too dirty during playtime, we can easily put blankets in the washer and they come out fresh and ready! EVERY pet deserves a cozy spot to rest, and your blanket donation can give them just that.

We didn't choose this hectic situation, but we embrace it with hope and positivity, knowing that we are saving lives, and keeping innocent babies off the streets. Our city, Dallas, has always stood by us, and we believe in your support now more than ever. Look at these hopeful, happy faces – we've promised them that help is coming.

Together, we can provide comfort and care to every dog and cat in our shelter. Please consider donating to our Blanket Fund or purchasing a blanket from our wish list of supplies! Let's make sure every tail wag and every purr is a happy one. Every blanket, no matter the size, will make a big difference. THANK YOU so much. We are so grateful for your help.<\/strong><\/p>","order_id":"08-15-24-4936892","purchased_items":"1","purchased_totals":"3949.5","created":"2024-08-15T08:08:51-07:00"},{"id":4938572,"name":"Our Rescue During Hurricane Season","photo":"https:\/\/storage.cuddly.app\/pets\/small\/4938572-17228672766654.jpg","city":"CHIEFLAND","state_code":"FL","description":"

The hurricane is set to strike Monday through Wednesday and as of now, we’re sitting ducks. Our facility is currently unprepared for such an event, which leaves us and our furry residents extremely vulnerable. With SEVENTY-FIVE cats and several dogs under our roof, the need to secure essential supplies has never been more urgent. Please help us.
<\/strong>
The storm's trajectory suggests severe weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rainfall, will impact our area. This puts us at risk of power outages and flooding, and our lack of a generator compounds the threat. Without power, maintaining a safe environment for the animals becomes almost impossible. Additionally, our current supplies of water, wet food, and food\/water bowls are insufficient for the number of animals we shelter. This shortage exacerbates the challenges we face in ensuring the animals are well-fed, hydrated, and safe during the storm.

Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly to mitigate these risks, but our resources are stretched thin. We have assessed our inventory and outlined critical needs, yet despite our best efforts, these essentials are currently beyond our immediate reach due to budget constraints and the unexpected urgency of the situation.

PLEASE consider donating to help us secure the necessary supplies and equipment to ensure the safety and well-being of our shelter animals during this impending storm. Anything, even a single item or $5 will go far. Thank you so much for caring about these animals, and ensuring they are safe in inclement weather.    <\/strong><\/p>","order_id":"08-15-24-4938572","purchased_items":"9","purchased_totals":"649.58","created":"2024-08-15T08:04:56-07:00"},{"id":4938272,"name":"Gizmo, Peanut, and Poppy","photo":"https:\/\/storage.cuddly.app\/pets\/small\/4938272-17221110908205.jpg","city":"Topeka","state_code":"KS","description":"

Three tiny kittens, Gizmo, Peanut, and Poppy, were discovered abandoned on a community member's porch. The kittens’ eyes were matted shut with infection, green discharge oozed from their eyes and noses, and their fur was filthy and reeked a pungent smell. They need immediate help, but their care is estimated to exceed $500! With over 400 animals currently in our care and more coming in each day, the medical costs really add up.

<\/p>

The community member, desperate for a solution, hastily brought these babies to our rescue, pleading desperately for help. The sight of these delicate kittens struggling, barely able to breathe properly with no momma in sight, was absolutely gut-wrenching. Upper respiratory infections and conjunctivitis have left these babies helpless and suffering. They needed immediate help before it was too late! <\/p>


<\/p>

The vet team SPRANG to action. The kittens were provided with antibiotics and eye ointments to combat their infections. We initiated fluid therapy to keep them hydrated and nourished them with specially formulated kitten food so that they could gain strength. To comfort them, we ensured they were thoroughly cleaned, kept warm, and placed in a quiet, safe environment to begin their recovery journey. Gizmo, Peanut, and Poppy still have a long road ahead, and the cost of their ongoing care is substantial. We cannot do this alone.<\/p>

Your generous donation can make a significant difference in the lives of these vulnerable kittens. Please consider contributing to help cover the medical costs and essential supplies needed for Gizmo, Peanut, and Poppy's recovery.

Our pet pantry shelves are almost bare, and the urgency to stock them has never been greater. Without immediate support, we will struggle to provide the vital nourishment that our community's dogs desperately need.
<\/strong>
Our pet pantry is currently facing one of the most challenging periods in its existence. The past few months have seen a drastic slowdown in donations, severely affecting our ability to stock essential supplies for the pets that rely on us. This scarcity comes at a particularly difficult time. In August, we have several events aimed at supporting our community by providing dog food to families in need. Without sufficient donations, we risk not being able to fulfill this mission, which is at the heart of our organization.

The situation is dire. Our shelves, once filled with bags of nutritious dog food, now lay almost empty. Each day that passes without donations brings us closer to the heartbreaking reality of turning away those who come to us for help. Many families and their beloved pets are depending on us to bridge the gap during hard times, and the lack of resources limits our ability to do so. It's a ripple effect that impacts not just the animals, but the emotional well-being of their owners who are trying their best to care for their loyal companions despite financial struggles.

Despite the scarcity, our team has remained steadfast in their commitment. We've hustled to secure food from other avenues and even dipped into our emergency reserves to make ends meet. Our volunteers have doubled their efforts, working tirelessly to ensure that even the smallest amount of food is stretched to feed as many pets as possible. However, these measures are only temporary fixes, and without an influx of donations, we will soon be faced with tough choices. We've done everything within our power to meet this unprecedented challenge, but now, more than ever, we need the community's support to continue our mission.

Please consider donating today to help us stock our pet pantry with the dog food needed to support families in our community during these trying times, or purchase items from our wish list of essentials. We greatly appreciate your generosity. Thank you so much.<\/strong><\/p>","order_id":"08-15-24-4938242","purchased_items":"7","purchased_totals":"1351.7","created":"2024-08-15T07:53:49-07:00"}]
