AMA Animal Rescue

We received a heartbreaking call about an extremely weak and malnourished dog who had been found wandering the streets, struggling to drag her feet and covered in fleas. It was clear that she had been neglected for a long time, and as a senior dog in such a dire condition, she stood little chance of surviving on her own. We knew we couldn’t turn her away. We named her Pixie. She deserves a second chance at life, but we can’t do it without your help. Would you join us in saving this precious angel by making a donation today?

Last week, we shared the dire financial crisis that has brought our rescue operations to a sudden halt. The response from our community has been nothing short of incredible; even the CBS and PIX11 news felt compelled to get involved, and we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support. When we revealed that our credit card debt had skyrocketed to an overwhelming $92,000—primarily due to a few catastrophic emergency cases—we were terrified it might take months to recover. But thanks to your extraordinary kindness, we’ve already managed to raise over half of what we need in just one week. However, the situation remains critical. We still need to raise $35,000 to clear our debts and reopen our doors to animals in desperate need. Every day that passes without meeting our goal is another day that vulnerable animals are left without the care we could provide. At your urging, we’ve created a GoFundMe page because it’s easy to share and a platform you trust for donations. We’ve also attached pictures of the bills that have driven us so deep into debt, so you can see the stark reality we’re facing—the very bills that have forced us to halt intakes. With your continued support, we can pull through this crisis and begin rescuing animals again. Please, if you can, consider donating or sharing this link. Every single dollar brings us one step closer to saving lives. See the images of the animals we saved, despite their huge bills, to understand exactly where your money is going and the lives it has already saved.

Remember Gretel and her puppies? Little Luna, one of her little pups, was out in the park with her foster family when she accidentally ingested weed—a common occurrence in that area, according to the local emergency hospital. She became lethargic, and we had to rush her to the hospital, where she had to be admitted for supportive care. It’s hard to believe how quickly they can get hurt, and it breaks our hearts to see her suffer. Please consider donating to help Luna—every dollar counts.

URGENT! We received a plea regarding an extremely sick cat at ACC. Marigold has had a feeding tube placed due to anorexia, and his mouth and nose are ulcerated and bleeding. He was placed on the at-risk list with only 24 hours left. Marigold must go directly to an emergency hospital if we have any hope of saving his life. However, given his condition, this will be a very costly case. Please help us save his life—donate today!

Our sweet senior Basil hasn’t been feeling well. He suddenly began experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea—so much that we became very worried. We rushed him to the hospital, where he was found to be extremely dehydrated and weak. We’re hoping it’s nothing serious, but we need help covering the cost of Basil’s urgent vet visit. Any support means the world to us and to Basil during this difficult time.

Ivy’s story has been one of the most challenging and heartbreaking cases we’ve ever had. You might already be familiar with her journey, as it’s the first time we’ve faced a case where the wound was so severe the treatment took nearly a year.

After we rescued Ivy in November 2023, with a large, deep wound under her armpit that she got from being stuck in a fence. Having lived with it for weeks before being rescued, the wound became severely infected, growing to over 4 inches in diameter. Despite multiple surgeries, daily bandage changes, and months of medical care, Ivy’s recovery was constantly set back by the location of her wound and nasty infections that made healing even more difficult.

Before making the devastating decision to amputate her leg, we sought another opinion and committed to trying every possible option. We pursued an intensive, costly VAC therapy treatment, followed by one final surgery in a last attempt to save her leg.

Ivy’s journey has been long and painful, and now, we need your help to pay off the mountain of medical bills. Please consider being the angel she needs—your generosity will ensure that Ivy gets the fresh start she fought so hard for. Every bit of support brings her closer to the life she deserves, free from pain and suffering.

URGENT NEW CASE!

We were recently alerted about a stray dog in critical condition, and once we saw the pictures, we were in shock. Both of her legs were missing skin, with necrotic patches clinging to her matted fur. She was also malnourished and severely underweight. Whatever happened to this poor dog is unimaginable, and the pain she must have endured is heartbreaking. We’ve named her Tilly and rushed her to the emergency hospital, where she has to undergo surgery to treat her severe injuries. We need your help to save her life – we can't do this without your support!

Titan was found tied to a pole by the police and brought to ACC. He was immediately classified as a cruelty case due to his appalling condition. He was filthy and matted, covered in feces, and trembling with fear. Most concerning was his ruptured eye, likely caused by blunt trauma—a possibility that aligns with how timid this poor dog is. Unfortunately, what remains of his eye will need to be removed. Would you help us rescue Titan from ACC and provide the urgent medical care he desperately needs?

Bunny has been through so much. She was found abandoned on the streets, scared and alone, with a mouth full of rotten teeth and multiple masses on her stomach. It was heartbreaking to see some of her teeth so decayed that they moved from side to side. We’ve had to schedule an extensive dental surgery, as well as the removal of the masses and a spay surgery. We can only hope the masses aren’t cancerous. Please help us give Bunny a chance at a pain-free life—she deserves it. Right now, you’re all she has.

This is the plea we received from Animal Care and Control. Seneca left hours before she was to be euthanized. Our intake is still closed, but we were told there’s nobody else willing to take this sick cat. What do we do? Can we fundraise for Seneca? You can be the reason she survives!
