*Help Us Bring Iryna & Shurochka Home: A Second Chance at Life

*

*Who I Am*

Hi! My name is DominiqueBlain, and I’m a passionate animal lover and advocate. Along with my daughter, we’ve opened our hearts—and soon, our home—to two very special dogs in need of a fresh start.

**My Relationship with the Beneficiary**

We’re adopting Iryna and Shurochka, two brave Brussels Griffons who have endured unimaginable hardship. These sweet girls were rescued from a life of neglect and abuse, used solely for breeding by puppy millers. Born in Ukraine and brought to the U.S. to reproduce, they lived isolated in kennels with minimal human contact, never knowing what it’s like to be truly loved.

Their story, however, is taking a hopeful turn thanks to my amazing friend who runs a foster home dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating female dogs from abusive breeding situations. She took in this pack of four resilient girls, giving them their first real taste of kindness and care.

Iryna and Shurochka are now ready for their forever home—and we’re ready to give it to them.

*What the Funds Will Be Used For

*

We are raising funds to cover:

Travel expenses from Minnesota to Eastern Canada (likely a 4-day journey)

Adoption fees and required medical paperwork

Any additional care they may need during their transition

All money raised will go directly toward getting Iryna and Shurochka safely home to us. And if we’re lucky enough to exceed our goal, every extra dollar will be used to help the two remaining girls find loving homes too.

*How the Funds Will Be Raised

*

Our dear friend @violet_the_chi is organizing with me an Instagram auction featuring beautiful, donated items from kindhearted supporters. Every bid, every share, and every dollar makes a difference!

*How You Can Help

*

Donate: Any amount, big or small, brings us closer to reuniting these bonded pups in a safe, loving home.

Share this story with your friends, family, and fellow dog lovers.
