Surviving Cruelty Animal Rescue (SCAR)

Meet Kassie

Kassie came to us after unimaginable trauma. When she arrived, she had what appeared to be stab wounds, and it looked like someone had tried to piece her back together with glue and staples. Despite everything she’s been through, Kassie has shown us just how resilient and loving she truly is.

Since being in our care, she has healed physically and has learned to trust within the home. She is incredibly smart, sweet, and good with other dogs. But outside of the home, Kassie still struggles. Due to her past, she experiences anxiety around new people and can go into fight-or-flight mode when she feels threatened.

We are looking for a **professional board-and-train program** that has experience with trauma cases and offers **rescue pricing** to help Kassie build confidence and safely socialize with people outside of her familiar environment.

As a small 501(c)(3) rescue, we do not have grants or funding, so we are also asking for **donations to help cover the cost of her training**. Every dollar will go directly toward giving Kassie the second chance she deserves.

Kassie was originally pulled from Devore Shelter and then abandoned by another rescue who felt she was “unadoptable.” They also said she wasn’t dog-friendly and wouldn’t do well with other dogs… well, as you can see… We refused to give up on her—and she has proven them wrong. Now she just needs a little more help to fully shine.

Kassie will be available for adoption to an experienced home that understands she will need patience, time, and continued support to feel safe and secure.

Please share, donate, or reach out if you know of a reputable board-and-train program that can help Kassie on her journey. Let’s give this girl the happy ending she’s always deserved. ❤️

Anthony is a gentle seven-year-old bulldog mix who almost didn’t make it.

His owner kept getting arrested, and every time the police took Anthony to the shelter. The last time his owner never came back. Anthony sat in that cold kennel for almost five months, watching other dogs get adopted while he was slowly put on the euthanasia list.

The day he was scheduled to be put down, we pulled him.

He’s finally safe with Surviving Cruelty Animal Rescue, but his body is broken from all that time. His ears are in terrible shape — chronically infected, scarred, calcified, and constantly draining. The shelter’s own records prove how bad it is.

He also has painful dental tartar and ongoing allergies that need treatment. His current foster can’t keep him any longer, so we need to raise enough to cover his medical care and the next several months of fostering until we find him a real home.

Here’s what we need right now:

• Food, supplies & fostering for the next 4 months: $2,000

• Severe ear infections & ongoing care: $1,600

• Dental treatment & allergy medication: $850

Total goal: $4,450

Why Anthony is worth your donations:

Anthony is a survivor. He survived multiple bouts of mistreatment from his former owner, survived almost five months in a shelter, and survived the euthanasia list. Through all of it, he’s remained a sweet, happy, loving dog who still wags his tail and wants to trust people. He deserves a real forever home and a chance to finally be a healthy, pain-free boy.

If we don’t raise this money:

Without these funds, Anthony will stay in constant pain. His ears will keep getting worse, the infections will spread, and his suffering will only increase. We won’t be able to move him to a new foster or keep up with the daily medications and care he needs.

Even $5 or $10 makes a difference. Please share his story.
