UFAR Animals Rescue

Nacho is only **1 year old**, but he has already been through more than any dog should\.

This sweet French Bulldog was born blind and with a **cleft palate**, the result of irresponsible and excessive breeding\. Because of his special needs, he was abandoned and brought to our rescue\.

Despite everything he has been through, Nacho is an incredibly loving little dog\. He doesn’t know that he looks different\. He just wants to be loved, cuddled and close to people\.

Now we have the opportunity to make his life better\.

Nacho needs **two important surgeries**\. His cleft palate will be repaired, which will make eating and living more comfortably much easier for him\. His eye has become severely infected and painful, and our veterinarian has determined that it must be removed\. Removing the eye will finally give Nacho relief from the pain\.

The estimated cost of these surgeries is **$1,000**, and our rescue needs help covering this unexpected medical expense\.

Nacho may be blind, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a beautiful, fulfilling life\. He has so much love to give, and we want to give him the chance he deserves\.

❤️ **Please help us give Nacho a pain\-free future\.**

Any donation, no matter how small, will help\. And if you can’t donate, **sharing Nacho’s story is just as important\.**

Thank you for helping us show Nacho that being different doesn’t mean being unwanted\.

This sweet little dog was abandoned in the parking lot of United for Animals Rescue (UFAR). Someone dropped him off and drove away, leaving him frightened and alone.

He immediately began running through the rescue parking lot and toward busy 441. Our volunteers rushed outside with a dog net because we were terrified he would run into traffic and be seriously injured or killed.

Thankfully, we were able to safely capture him and bring him inside.

When we finally got a look at him, our hearts broke.

His entire body was covered in thick, filthy, severely matted hair. He was so matted that we could barely see his face. After being outside in the rain, he was soaking wet and looked more like a giant wet mop than a dog.

He was frightened and overwhelmed, but he was finally safe.

Our groomer immediately began carefully removing the painful mats. It was a tremendous amount of hair, and because he was so uncomfortable and stressed, he will need a second grooming to finish the job.

Once some of the mats were removed, we could finally see the sweet little dog underneath. ❤️

He is approximately 2 years old and appears to be a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso-type mix. We are still getting to know him and will have him fully evaluated by our veterinarian.

He still needs:

A second grooming

Veterinary examination

Vaccinations and medical care

Neutering

Any additional treatment the veterinarian determines he needs

Continued care while we find him a safe and loving home

We don’t know where he came from or how long he had been living in this condition. What we do know is that he deserved better.

He went from being dumped and running for his life to being safe, cared for, groomed, and surrounded by people who want to help him.

Now we need your help to finish his journey. ❤️

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps. Even $5 or $10 can help cover food, grooming, medical care, vaccines, and his upcoming neuter.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing his story. A share could help us reach someone who can help cover his care—or even the family who will eventually give him the forever home he deserves.

Thank you for helping UFAR give abandoned animals the second chance they deserve. ❤️

Please donate and share. His new life has only just begun.

Help Three Abandoned Puppies Fight for Their Lives

Just after midnight, a neighbor witnessed something heartbreaking.

A car pulled over, the door opened, and three young puppies were left on the side of the road. Before anyone could react, the car sped away, leaving them alone in the darkness.

The neighbor immediately contacted UFAR Animal Rescue. Our volunteers grabbed flashlights and began searching the area in the middle of the night. Thankfully, all three puppies were found and brought to safety.

As we examined them, it was clear they had already been neglected. They had severely overgrown nails, painful skin infections, and ear infections. But despite everything they had been through, they were still gentle, trusting, and full of love.

Then came even more devastating news.

All three puppies tested positive for parvovirus (parvo)—a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening virus that primarily affects puppies. Parvo attacks the digestive system, causing severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and weakness. Without prompt treatment, many puppies do not survive.

These puppies are now in isolation and receiving intensive veterinary care. Their treatment includes IV fluids, medications, constant monitoring, and supportive care as they fight this virus.

The cost of treating three puppies with parvo is significant, but we are committed to giving each of them every possible chance to recover.

Your donation will help provide:

* Emergency veterinary care

* Medications and supportive treatment

* Medical supplies and isolation care

* Everything they need as they recover

No donation is too small. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can make an enormous difference.

These puppies have already survived abandonment. With your help, we’re hoping they’ll survive parvo too.

From all of us at UFAR Animal Rescue, thank you for standing with them during the fight of their young lives. ❤️

Help Cinderella Get the Ear Surgery She Desperately Needs

Cinderella is just a little over a year old, and she’s already endured so much. Used by a backyard breeder and never given proper care, she was left with severe, chronic ear infections that grew into painful, damaging conditions.

One ear needs a lateral ear canal resection, and the other requires a total ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy. She lives every day in constant pain.

And yet… Cinderella is still sweet, friendly, and full of love. She just wants a chance at a pain-free life.

Her surgery estimate is $1,200, and she urgently needs help.

Please donate if you can.

Please share her story.

And if you’re looking to adopt, consider giving Cinderella the happy ending she deserves.

Hi everyone! We are UFAR Animal Rescue, a small shelter with a giant heart. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide immediate physical and emotional relief for abandoned, neglected, and stray cats and dogs. We start with the basics—nutrition, a safe roof, a warm bed, and essential vet care—before guiding each pet toward a bright future in a loving forever home.

This year alone, we welcomed 1,150 pets, and in the past four years, we’ve placed 3,222 animals into forever homes. But many are still waiting, and we want to do even more. Our goal is to raise $58,500 to cover essential shelter costs for the next 13 months, ensuring comfort for 350 pets today and powering our mission to rescue 1,500 more lives next year.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even the price of a cup of coffee can help move this mission forward.

$4,800 = 1 Month of Safety

$1,120 = 1 Week of Hope

$160 = 1 Day of Comfort

$10 = A Cup of Coffee that Saves Lives

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. And when we reach our goal, we will create a Wall of Heroes featuring the names and cities of every donor who made this mission possible. Your name will shine as part of a legacy of love that saved lives.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to us—and to every tail that keeps wagging because of you.
