🚨WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨 — CHERRY & FIGGY NEED US!

Yesterday, seven puppies were discovered living in horrific, unfathomable conditions — and being given away on social media. Thankfully, rescue stepped in, and we agreed to take two of these babies into SAFE Rescue Team.

Meet Cherry & Figgy. 💔🐾

When we picked them up yesterday, these poor girls were literally being eaten alive by fleas. They have wounds all over their tiny bodies. We immediately gave them Capstar, bathed them, flea-combed them, and started getting some good nutrition into their tiny bodies. They are clearly anemic and have had a very rough start to life.

But that changes NOW. ❤️

I’ve said before: We are NOT a puppy rescue! But sometimes you see the condition they’re living in and there simply isn’t a choice. We refuse to look the other way when we can help. But taking puppies into rescue is ridiculously expensive, and puts a huge burden on our rescue.

Over the next several weeks, Cherry & Figgy will need:

🐾 Veterinary care
🐾 Food & supplies (for at least 6 weeks)
🐾 Three rounds of puppy vaccines
🐾 Spays
🐾 Microchips + prepaid lifetime registration
🐾 Rabies vaccines
🐾 Mom and Dad will be fixed!
And lots and LOTS of CARE and TLC 💜

🙏 Our goal is to raise $500 to help offset the cost of caring for these two girls.

Even $5, $10 or $20 adds up and helps us continue saying YES to dogs like Cherry & Figgy when they desperately need someone.

💔 SHE WAS THROWN OUT OF A VAN…

Last week we were contacted about this beautiful girl after multiple people witnessed her being thrown from a van in the Lytle Creek/Fontana area.

Terrified, she couldn’t be caught for quite some time. Eventually she was caught, tied near the freeway, and later moved to someone’s yard—still tied up and still desperately needing help.

Thankfully, an amazing gentleman who helps dogs in his community stepped in and drove TWO HOURS to bring her to us. ❤️

Meet F***y. 🐾

She was matted, filthy, smelly and covered in knots, with cuts and wounds on her head, face and neck, and a horrifying hair cut 🤦🏻‍♀️ But the most heartbreaking part was how completely shut down she was. She wouldn’t eat and was terrified of everything.

Then, little by little, she has realized she’s SAFE. 🤍

The tail has started wagging. The smiles came. She has began playing with the other dogs—and recently picked up toys and carried them outside for the first time. 🥹

This sweet girl is absolutely BLOSSOMING! She is gentle, happy, affectionate and truly a beautiful soul. Watching her heal has been a gift and blessing.

We have reported her as found with Devore, posted her on PawBoost and continue searching lost-and-found pages throughout the area.

Once her stray hold is complete, F***y will be spayed, have a gastropexy, receive her vaccines and be microchipped before we begin searching for her happily-ever-after. 🏡❤️

Please follow along with F***y’s journey! And if you’d like to help with her veterinary care—or help us continue saving dogs like her—we would be incredibly grateful. 🐾

“You can do something big, or something small… because whatever you do, it’s better than nothing at all.” 🤍

Here’s the follow-up to this weekend’s SAFE rescues… Meet Jessie! 🤍🐾

This sweet little lady came onto our radar completely by accident—and thank goodness she did.

Someone reached out asking if we could help a dog at the Hesperia shelter. Honestly, we didn’t even know there was a shelter there! Sadly, there are no staff members actively promoting the animals, nothing is posted on social media, and the dogs aren’t even listed on the shelter’s website. It took some serious digging to find where the animals were being listed.

What we found was absolutely heartbreaking. We have never seen so many puppies and kittens in one place. It was soul-crushing.

Then we saw this precious girl.

One of our volunteers immediately threw their hand in the air and said, “I’ll take her!” And just like that… Jessie became a SAFE dog. ❤️

So far, Jessie has been amazing! She’s:
🐶 Small dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly
🐰 Bunny friendly
🚽 Potty trained

Once she’s spayed, she’ll be ready to find her forever family!

Every life we save matters, but there are still so many waiting for someone to say “yes.” Your support allows us to continue rescuing animals like Jessie when they need us most.

Donations are always needed and deeply appreciated.
