Pawsome Squad Inc.

Hi Everyone :)

This is Key, Pawsome Squad & I rescued him late January from the Queens ACC after he was there for 150 days. I previously had Key on a borough break (this is when you can take the shelter animals on a day-long field trip).

When Key first came to me on our borough break, he was having a severe dermatitis flare-up, which is the reason he was surrendered in the first place. His previous family couldn't afford treatment. I could tell Key was in an extreme amount of discomfort (photos attached of this flare-up) & that he had to get out of the shelter.

Key is a beautiful pittie bulldog mix & 2 years old. He has a heart of gold, hes kind, crate trained, and really the sweetest angel.

Now that Key is in our care & we have gotten him all the medical care he was in dire need of, he was prescribed antibiotics, a steroid, and Apoquel. I am happy to announce he is finally healing and feeling much, much better.

Key's vet bill, including the Apoquel, has totaled up to $500, and we are continuously raising funds to make sure he is set for the rest of his time in our care. He will need monthly checkups & blood drawn to make sure he is handling the Apoquel well on a daily basis.

As always, any & all help is appreciated. Key is such a special dog and we are so happy he is finally out of the shelter for the rest of his LIFE. I am so glad I was able to give him a second chance, he is worth it :).

Moo was one of the longest stay at the ACC. Moo was deteriorating as she was struggling with the stress of the shelter environment. Despite daily enrichments, she was no longer coping well and was put on the At-Risk list for January 9th, 2025.

However, through our community of Moo supporters, we were able to save her on that very day. She was very fearful when we picked her up but slowly warmed up to us. Since leaving the shelter, Moo has been doing really well.

She still has to make some adjustment and we were fortunate enough to learn she's a great candidate for a training program. As you well know, Pawsome Squad prioritizes each dog's well being by requiring every adopter to have pet insurance and training plan ahead of adoption, we decided to give Moo a head start and enroll her in this incredible training program!

We would love and greatly appreciate your help with funding Moo's training program! Everyone dollar counts and no amount is too small!

Thank you for caring about Moo and being part of her journey! We could not do it without you!
