Be A Voice For The Overlooked Dogs Who Cannot Speak For Themselves...

Meet Ronan Ranger! Donors like YOU made it possible for this blind stray dog to receive necessary veterinary care, love and support so he could move onward and upward and find his furever family.

Join us today to speak on behalf of all our dogs. Tell them now that they matter and DESERVE a HAPPY outcome too.

TOGETHER, we can make a difference in their lives. All proceeds go toward food, supplies and veterinary care. Our dogs are vetted to the highest standard in the rescue world.

1. Murphy is a 7 year-old owner surrender who is in urgent need of a dental cleaning to be ready for his furever family. We have already completed the rest of his vetting.

2. Dakota became paralyzed from IVDD 3 months ago. She was on crate rest for 10 weeks to allow her spine to heal. Since Day 1, she has been receiving cold laser therapy, acupuncture and water therapy with our vet, as well as in-house rehabilitation exercises. She currently walks with an unsteady "drunken" gait and needs frequent, sustained rehabilitation to regain full mobility. Dakota has a diagnosed heart condition and hypertension, for which she is on cardiologist-prescribed medication.

3. Chance is a 10-12 year-old stray from Kansas who has been neglected in his past life. He came to us with a perianal tumor and an unsteady gait, presumably from an untreated prior spine injury. We have decided to forgo surgery of his tumor as surgery will likely affect his quality of life and has an uncertain prognosis. Chance has to be neutered and get a much-needed dental cleaning. We hope that neutering him will help the mass reduce in size. He is also currently on a variety of medications, and receives monthly acupuncture and cold laser therapy for his ongoing comfort.

4. Winston is a blind 14 year-old forever foster who receives monthly therapy for his musculoskeletal issues. He came to us with severely bowed legs and we make sure he stays mobile and flexible enough to go about his daily "ruff" life. He also receives compounded eye ointments twice daily.

5. Loki is our seniormost forever foster at 16.5 years old who recently lost his 15 year-old brother, Teddy Bear, to heart failure. He puts up a good fight to lung masses and limb muscle weakness. He was gifted a quad cart to enable him to move around independently. Loki is particular about his food and at his age, we make sure his wishes are respected. Currently, he is on several medications and supplements that give him a high quality of life.

We hope that you will find it in your heart to support our cause, and share our message and campaign with your family, friends and other circles.

Woof and wags from the #LAHPSTR brigade!
