This past weekend, as NYC temperatures crashed to -10 degrees with wind chill, three dogs were left to fight for their lives on the streets. They were hungry, terrified, and completely alone. If our founder Tony hadn’t gone out at all hours of the night to find them, these dogs would not be alive today.
But rescue is only the beginning.
Shadow is a black lab mix, not even a year old, who was surrendered to an NYPD precinct after surviving outside for who knows how long. He’s only about 30 pounds, still just a puppy, and he’s already being treated for worms and neglect. Shadow is safe in a temporary foster, but he needs ongoing medical care and—most importantly—an adopter who will show him that he will never be abandoned again.
Tiger was found alone in a Chase ATM vestibule by police officers, curled up trying to escape the freezing wind. Thanks to immediate action from our team and supporters, Tiger has now been adopted and is finally safe and warm. His story is proof of what is possible when people step up—but his medical care and rescue costs still need to be covered.
Kevin’s case is the most urgent.
Kevin was found under a tarp in the middle of the night after his owner was taken to a shelter to escape the cold—and Kevin was left behind. During his rescue he was terrified, and in the effort to get him to safety he suffered wounds to his face and body. He is carrying deep emotional trauma and can come off standoffish because he has learned that the world isn’t safe. Kevin needs extensive medical treatment and, more than anything, an experienced foster with no other dogs—someone patient, strong, and able to read him so he can finally begin to heal.
These dogs are not statistics. They are living, feeling souls who were failed by the people they trusted. The cold didn’t care if they lived or died—but we do.
Your donations will go directly to:
• Emergency veterinary care and medications
• Wound treatment and follow-up exams for Kevin
• Vaccines, deworming, and medical care for Shadow
• Boarding, supplies, and transport
• Support for fosters and adopters
We are also urgently asking for:
➡ A FOSTER FOR KEVIN
➡ AN ADOPTER FOR SHADOW
➡ DONATIONS TO COVER THEIR CARE
Rescue doesn’t end when a dog is off the street—it ends when they are healed, safe, and loved. Please help us give Shadow, Tiger, and Kevin the second chance they deserve, and help us be ready for the next dog freezing out there tonight.
Thank you for being the warmth they were denied.
Every dollar, every share, and every open home saves a life.
