Honoring Osaka’s Memory – Help Us Cover Her Medical Costs

Osaka’s journey was one of resilience, love, and hope. From the moment she came into our care, we fought for her with everything we had—emergency treatments, specialist visits, and round-the-clock care—hoping for a miracle. While we are heartbroken that her journey has come to an end, we take comfort in knowing she was surrounded by kindness in her final days.

A huge part of that kindness came from her incredible foster parents, who gave Osaka a loving home, endless affection, and the dignity she deserved in her final moments. They opened their hearts to her, ensuring she knew what it meant to be truly cherished. Osaka may have left us too soon, but thanks to them, she didn’t leave this world alone.

Now, we are left with the weight of her extensive medical bills, totaling $9,682, which we covered to give her the best shot at survival. To honor Osaka’s memory and the love she received, we are launching a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for the lifesaving care she received and ensure we can continue saving others in desperate need.

Please consider making a donation today: https://gofund.me/9c2cca5c

Every dollar helps, and if you can’t donate, sharing her story means just as much. Osaka’s fight may be over, but her spirit will live on in every life we save because of your generosity.

With gratitude,

Annie & Cristy

Our hearts are heavy as we share the urgent reality we’re facing. As a small rescue in Miami, we’ve been overwhelmed by an unimaginable surge of abandoned dogs. The crisis has reached its breaking point—our phones ring and notifications pour in over 100 times a day, pleading for help. Despite our tireless efforts, we now face a staggering $30,000 vet bill, and time is running out.

In 2024, we’ve taken in 130 dogs and found loving homes for 110 of them. These are dogs hit by cars, abandoned in parks, or left to die without a second thought. We said “yes” when others couldn’t, giving them the care they desperately needed. But many still remain in boarding, healed yet homeless, as we fight to keep going.

We’re at a crossroads. Shutting down feels unthinkable, but we can’t continue without help.

This is our plea: please help us pay down this bill and save our rescue. Donate through our GoFundMe link—every dollar counts. Together, we can give these dogs the second chances they deserve. Thank you for believing in them.

NOTE: The money raised through this GOFUNDME will be sued to pay off outstanding balances at our 2 major veterinarian offices, Alejo Vet Clinic and VCA Knowles Snapper Creek, both in Miami, Florida.

The current balance at Alejo is: $18,585

The current balance at Snapper is: $14,978

We also have pending charges for pups that have not left Snapper yet. That total is $22,237 which unfortunately increases every day that we cannot find fosters for those pets. We have not included the pending charges in the fundraiser.

There is always the option to call and make payment directly to these two veterinary offices:

As many of you know, I have been fostering dogs for a while! My most recent foster is the gorgeous 1.5yo Frisco. Frisco was found after the hurricane in Ft. Meyers and was treated for parvovirus. Unfortunately his adopter returned him last month.

As he was settling in with Whisky and Rye, I noticed that his gait was pretty abnormal.

I brought him into the clinic for X-rays and my fear was confirmed.

Frisco has severe bilateral hip dysplasia. His hips constantly pop in and out of place anytime he runs/walks. Despite being in pain, he is still the sweetest and goofiest guy on the block!

We were obviously not expecting this as an issue when he was initially returned.

Paw Patrol has taken in so many dire cases and expensive cases and funds are very limited.

This is to help fundraise for Frisco’s hip surgeries which will be staged 4-6 weeks apart. He will also undergo intensive physical therapy as well.

Please consider donating any amount to help this sweet boy get a new lease on life!
