Meet Taco.

He’s a 6-week-old golden retriever puppy who was abandoned and left to fend for himself far too young. When Fluffy Butts Rescue took him in, we promised him a chance at life—but right now, Taco needs all of us to rally behind him.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Taco is fighting for his life.

Since coming into rescue, he’s faced one emergency after another:

• Severe dehydration and weakness

• Worms and parasites from neglect

• Mysterious tongue lesions that have veterinarians concerned about possible toxicity or underlying neurological issues

• High fever and sudden illness that’s still being investigated

We’ve already spent over $3,000 on his care with round-the-clock monitoring, diagnostics, IV fluids, and medications. The next step may require transfer to VCA Specialty & Emergency Hospital, where costs could easily reach $5,000–$6,000 or more.

How You Can Help

We know this is a big ask—but we can’t do this alone. Our small rescue is funded entirely by donations and adoption fees, and cases like Taco’s hit hard.

Your donation will go directly toward:

• Taco’s ER visits and hospitalization

• Specialist consultations and advanced diagnostics

• Ongoing medications and supportive care

If Taco’s medical costs end up being less than expected, any remaining funds will go directly toward other Fluffy Butts Rescue medical cases.

Ways to Support:

• Donate any amount you can. Every dollar matters.
