Dumped in the middle of the night in a shelter’s parking lot, her condition was beyond heartbreaking.

Blind, encrusted in feces (the smell coming off her was unreal), a serious heart condition and pancreatitis to boot, this precious senior soul most certainly did not deserve to die alone simply because she was no longer wanted by those who were supposed to love her forever.

We have taken this tiny Doxie under our wing and named her Tootsie. Estimated to be well over the age of 17, she needed us and is receiving the urgent and necessary vet care she needs and deserves!

Little Tootsie hopes for life, for love, and someone to make everything alright, and with you by our side we will make that happen.

We have dedicated our lives to those that no one else will save; but we cannot continue to do this without YOU!

Imagine driving, you see a bag thrown out of a car in front of you onto the road. It takes a second, but you realize the bag is moving. As an animal lover, your heart sinks when you realize what’s just happened. 

For our newest Sanctuary resident, this was his sad reality. He was tied up in a mesh laundry bag and thrown out of a car onto a busy highway. This precious senior soul was lucky someone noticed and brought him to the safety of a local shelter. 

While his history is a mystery, we do know that Alfredo is blind, deaf, and exhibits evidence of extreme neglect. He is a walking skeleton with skin, was covered in fleas, bugs literally crawling out of his ears and skin. 

We simply cannot wrap our heads around this cruel and inhumane action by the the individual who committed this abuse. And while we can only imagine his years of suffering prior to the escalation of being thrown out of a car, we promise Alfredo will NEVER suffer again. 

Our promise to Alfredo is to provide him with a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life and we are committed to keeping this promise. 

We ask that you please consider making a donation to help us with Alfredo’s care – we cannot do this without YOU!

If you are not in the position to donate, we ask that you PLEASE SHARE.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory – Dr. Seuss

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our beloved Cleo has gained her Angel wings.

She never made it into surgery yesterday, she left us right before. Perhaps it was to spare us from worry or maybe she was just ready to peacefully move on – but she has left a gaping hole. 

Cleo lived only four days here in Sanctuary; for her it was a lifetime. 

She jumped right in with all four paws and quickly became a member of the exclusive “mean girls” Chihuahua group. She loved being swaddled in a blanket in Sanctuary moms arms, enjoyed pup loaf and special bubble baths. 

Cleo, we are beyond heartbroken that we could not give you more time to enjoy the life you deserved. We hope you know that even though your time with us was short, you were loved beyond measure and we would have given anything to take away your pain and lifetime of suffering. 

Those final moments with Cleo, the kiss on her little head, speaking to her softly letting her know everything was going to be ok, and her tiny paw prints, will forever be embedded on our hearts.
