Priority Pups
Dogs Who Need You most
We cannot stress enough how much we need YOU right now. We are currently overwhelmed with escalating vet bills, an influx of owner surrenders, and urgent calls from shelters pleading with us to help save dogs on the brink.
Meet some of our priority pups who need your help the most:
Avalon
We believe Avalon was either stepped on or hit by a car as a puppy, which left her with significant trauma. By the time she was found, the damage had been done. Two of her legs were deformed, and amputation was once a very real possibility.
Since then, Avalon has been receiving ongoing medical care and constant physical therapy, working so hard to build strength and mobility so she could finally make the trip north. We’ve stood by her every step of the way, covering her care and waiting for the day she was strong enough to travel.
She is a happy, goofy, full-of-life puppy who hasn’t let anything dim her spirit. This is why we commit to helping dogs get a second chance at forever!
Koda
Koda has a severe congenital heart defect called pulmonic stenosis. In every effort to give him a chance at a better quality of life, we covered a $5,000 ballon valvuloplasty that would hopefully “fix” his heart defect.
This highly-specialized procedure involved a tiny catheter being guided through a vein to his heart, where a balloon was inflated to carefully stretch the valve and relieve the pressure.
Unfortunately, the procedure did not fix his condition. While his future is not absolutely certain, Koda does not let that hold him back. He is a smart, energetic pup who loves everyone he meets.
You can learn more about Koda by watching his 6ABC Shelter Me debut.
Charlie Boy
Charlie Boy arrived to TLC with a severe heart murmur AND he is Heartworm positive. He was passed over by other rescues for care. We said yes without hesitation.
We knew he had a heart murmur. What we didn’t expect was just how serious it truly was. After seeing a cardiologist, Charlie Boy went into surgery to address a very severe case of Heartworm Disease and have the worms physically removed by the surgeon.
The surgery saved his life without a doubt as he would not have been able to fight them off with medication alone. After recovering from surgery, he was able to go through regular Heartworm treatment.
Now he’s living his best life. Charlie Boy is ready to find his forever home and leave this difficult road behind him.
Extra TLC
We’re dedicated to improving the lives of dogs in need, including those with medical issues requiring surgery or special care.
While TLC covers care costs, we rely on community support to continue providing these services and give dogs a better future.
We're at a critical point. We need YOUR help, whether it's a donation, sharing this post, or spreading the word.
Your contributions, no matter how small, can make a life-changing difference for these deserving dogs.
Please consider helping us stay afloat and continue our life-saving work.
Even if you can't donate, sharing this post to spread the word will be immensely helpful.
Thank you for your continued support, we're incredibly grateful for this compassionate community.
Together, we can help these dogs towards a brighter, healthier future.
We will be sharing updates on each of these pups as they become available.
