Our 1-year-old rescue dog has brought so much joy to our family, but recently she suffered an injury while playing in the yard. At first, we thought it was just a minor sprain, but soon noticed her paw was deformed, turned out at a 45-degree angle. After a visit to the vet, we learned she has carpus valgus and needs surgery to correct it. This diagnosis was heartbreaking, especially since she’s already been through so much with her health. 
<br>
<br>
 Earlier this year, we had to pay for dental care due to her enamel dysplasia, which requires yearly procedures. The costs have added up quickly, and we’re struggling to keep up with the bills. Her pet insurance has helped with some needs and will cover the scan for her surgery, but the dental care and the surgery itself are out of pocket. We want to do everything we can to ensure she lives a long, happy life, but we need help to make that possible. 
<br>
<br>
 Any donations are greatly appreciated and will help this shy and loving girl get the surgery she needs to thrive. Your support means the world to us and will give her the chance to live a long and fulfilling life. Thank you for being part of her journey to healing.

Help Our Rescue Dog Get Surgery

<div>URGENT: there are a group of 7-8 dogs out in brookshire that have been posted previously. A little injured one had a foster offer but it had no interest being trapped but this old dude definitely did want to get to safety. He’s a senior ; we are on the way to get him some vaccines and get heartworm tested. We are doing our best to get him vetted before sending him on to a rescue. Any donation will help! 

</div>

Aid Needed for Brookshire Dog Rescue

<div>In March of 2024, our organization was asked to assist with a mass owner surrender of the upwards of 50 animals.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our small nonprofit has since ceased all other operations aside from assisting this elderly owner with removing all animals from the property.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As of starting this fundraiser, our organization has already removed

</div>

<div>33 dogs

</div>

<div>3 pigs

</div>

<div>1 cat

</div>

<div>1 horse

</div>

<div>1 donkey

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Most animals removed have needed extensive veterinary care to include heartworm treatment, tumor removals, heart disease treatment, ongoing Spina Bifida care, mange treatment, flea dermatitis treatment, gastrointestinal distress treatment, along with routine vetting.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thankfully, we were just able to begin vetting the remaining dogs that the owner would like to surrender.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It doesn't end there.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The remaining 9 dogs on the property are currently living outdoors meanwhile their elderly owner is struggling to care for them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We would like to move all 9 into a boarding enviroment to allow them to decompress, obtain behavioral assesments from a veterinary team, and complete their vetting while we search for foster homes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As you can imagine, this is a financially daunting task as we are facing $18-$20 per dog per day in boarding fees along with all vetting costs we will need to undertake.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please, consider giving these dogs the gift of a fresh start this holiday season. They are counting on you to help them on their way to finding their forever homes.

Mass Owner Surrender: Give Dogs the Gift of a Second Chance

SECOND CHANCE RANCH RESCUE AND SANCTUARY

<div>This past week, Freedom Area Middle School’s Service Dog, Ariel, began to not feel well. When she stopped eating, Ariel’s teacher took her to see Dr. Skalos of Windrose Animal Hospital, and upon completing X-rays, they identified an intestinal blockage which needed to be removed immediately. It was too late in the day for the necessary surgery to be completed there, so Dr. Skalos recommended transferring her care to an emergency vet who could perform emergency surgery that night.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funding options were in question and Ariel was in emergency need of surgery, so Dr. Skalos called the Emergency Vet with his personal credit card and authorized up to $10,000 for Ariel’s care. This was beyond generous of him. The Freedom teachers quickly developed a plan to come up with the rest of the money to ensure Ariel would get the life-saving surgery she needed so the teachers donated $2,000. They were not going to sit idle while a fellow staff member was in need. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This still leaves Ariel with about $1,000 in medical bills and more importantly, the giant question of what if anything happens in the future?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have set up this GoFundMe page for the rest of Ariel’s care, to repay Dr. Skalos, pet insurance for both Therapy Dogs within the district, and the eventual end-of-life care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please do not feel obligated to donate but please feel free to share it and the story.

Therapy Dogs Left In Need

PLEASE HELP!!!! I am so overwhelmed. Claudia and I have been going to do the Rockpit route in Miami where we have been helping the stray dogs. This girl has been there for many many months and is taking care of the truck yard workers. Today was day six of looking looking for one of the other dogs. She hangs out with that we named Oscar when we ran into her and she was clearly in the middle of a medical . 

when we rushed her to the vet, they named her after me (let the record show I didn’t name a dog after myself lol) She is one of the many forgotten souls in the Rockpit, a dumping ground for dogs in Miami, a place no animal should ever end up. We were there to pick up another dog, a lucky one with a foster lined up, because without fosters, we simply can’t save these dogs. But then we saw her. Dali was barely hanging on. Her eyes were drifting in different directions, her body unsteady, her movements lethargic. There was no time to hesitate. We had to take her with us—her life was slipping through our fingers right in front of us. We rushed her to Pet Express Animal Hospital in Davie, praying that we weren’t too late. As the vet performed an exam, they did an ultrasound to check for pregnancy. What they found was far worse. Dali’s uterus was filling with pus—a severe, life-threatening condition called pyometra. There’s a chance she could be absorbing dead puppies, but either way, she would’ve died within the next 24 hours if we hadn’t acted. Dali is now undergoing emergency surgery to save her life, and the costs are rising by the minute. We’re fighting to keep her alive, but we can’t do it alone. Please, help us save Dali. She’s already been abandoned once, but she doesn’t have to be abandoned again. Anything you can contribute will make a difference in her fight for life. Time is running out.

<div>On Sunday, September 8th, and amazing girl named Randi found a severely injured dog. She was kind enough to sit with the dog and not leave him/her alone for dead, and I contacted my dad, who is a huge animal lover, letting him know. When my dad met Randi to assess the situation, he was lifeless and covered in red ants, and completely broken. He took him to an emergency vet, and <strong>he has a broken front right leg, shattered jaw, and x-rays.</strong> The medical expenses are astronomical, and <strong>my dad wants to help before they euthanize him because of incoming medical bills since no one has claimed ownership of this dog.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate anything you can to help save this dog! The total of medical bills is going to be upward of $6k+ and we just don't have the ability to do that. But we want to save this dog. :(
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>update: They’re going to keep him overnight for two nights and then Tuesday they’re pulling a tooth out that is broken and try to reconstruct his jaw. He has a severely shattered jaw, full body puncture wounds from dog fighting and attacks, and needs surgery on his broken front right leg.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sept 9:
</div>
<div>❤️❤️UPDATE ON SAMMY❤️❤️
</div>
<div>I heard from Sammy’s doctor this morning. He has ringworm but is doing better. He will still get that surgery tomorrow on his jaw, including the extraction of a broken tooth. He is on antibiotics and being treated for the ringworm. He is receiving IV fluids. He did eat some soft food. Sammy and I want to thank everyone for your prayers and for those that donated on his gofundme page. All donations are going to his care; and future care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE SEPT 10...PRAYERS ARE NEEDED
</div>
<div>Sammy is taking a little bit of a turn for the worst. He has a lot of swelling in his head. He might have to be transferred to the hospital in Gainesville. He is trying to fight off his infection from his wound and prayers are really needed. He was tossed strongly from a vehicle by his arm which caused shoulder dislocation, plus the arm is broken and he has been so badly abused that his body is trying so hard to stay strong. He is on IV.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>photos from today, Sept 10: the swelling has shut his left eye. The ICU in Gainesville is postponing surgery until the swelling goes down so we can decrease the chance of him going sepsis/organ failure while under anesthesia.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>update 9/11
</div>
<div>Sammy is getting a CAT scan today around 3 pm, they're going to try to do it with sedation...they might have to do it with anesthesia and there's a risk to that with his condition. He is a university of Florida Gainesville vet. They're trying to raise his blood pressure now to prepare for the CAT scan. Thank you and we are not giving up!!

</div>
<div>all the receipts of what's paid so far! The estimate as of today Sept 11 is $12,000. Yes, it is high... Ivs, X-rays, surgery deposits and surgeries, blood transfusions, drains, CAT scans, strong antibiotics. This is what we have chosen to do to keep him alive and get him the best chance at another shot at life. He has been through SO much physically, mentally, emotionally ... the least we can do is show him his life matters and be his voice and show him that love is out there and he deserves it!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's been an emotional time but on Thursday, September 12th around noon, Sammy took his last breath. My parents, Patty and Peter, were fortunately there with him. He looked at my dad as my dad told him he loved him and that he would fight for him and animal cruelty, as he crossed the rainbow bridge. We're absolutely broken. His infection was too much, his kidneys were failing, he had no blood pressure, and he was in pain. God wanted him to have peace instead of pain, and so Sammy went. The total medical bill came to a little over $11,000 and we appreciate the donations because without them we couldn't do it alone. I stopped the go fund me as soon as he passed because it didn't feel right to collect with him gone, so my dad self funded the rest. It came to a point no amount could take the pain away for Sammy and now the pain away for us. For everyone asking about business opportunities, that was never our intention. We don't want to capitalize on this. We want to SPREAD AWARENESS of animal cruelty and share Sammy's story and help other animals and dogs like Sammy out there. WE are THEIR voices and THEIR advocates. We will continue fighting against animal cruelty and brutality forever. And please PLEASE don't forget Sammy. Help an animal when you can. Thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any remaining donations to Sammy's case will be going to help stop animal cruelty and neglect in Marion County. We have a town hall meeting hosted by the World Equestrian Center that is coming up in the next couple of weeks (either 9/30, 10/1 or 10/2) and will keep you posted on that, as we would love to have as much support as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE! 8k of the gofundme went to Sammy's medical bills (my dad Peter Fletcher paid remaining 3-4k). We have pledged 2k of our own money as a reward for anyone who can lead us to Sammy's breeder, abuser, the fighting ring operators, anything. He did not have a microchip otherwise we would've pressed charges right away. We have gotten a few good leads on where he might've came from and since this others have stepped up to pledge to raise the reward since people are worried. YOU WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS. You also have the option to sign an NDA so that your name will not be released for exposing who did this to Sammy. PLEASE call or text me [phone redacted] or email me <a href="https://gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[email redacted]</a>
</div>
<div>Thank you! Below is from autopsy we got back Sept 20 that confirms all wounds were consistent with dog fighting, and with missing teeth he was a bait dog.
