Faith was brought to us severely emaciated and in critical condition. We rushed her to a vet hospital and it was determined that she had a blockage. She had been suffering for some time. We paid for emergency surgery hoping to save her but her body was just to weak to recovery from surgery. Rest easy Faith and know that you will not be forgotten.

We were contacted by an FBI Agent that was working in Detroit and spotted Lizzy running the streets severely malnourished, dehydrated and full of maggots. We picked up Lizzy and rushed her to an emergency hospital where she was treated for maggots, dehydration and numerous infected wounds. She is now recovering in a wonderful foster home and she is looking forward to her new better life.

Gelato was found running the streets of Detroit severely injured with numerous infected bite wounds. We also noticed that his teeth appeared to been ground down and we believe that he may have been used as a bait dog for dog fighting. We rushed him to an emergency vet where he was treated and later released. He is now doing well and is recovering.

Poor Liberty was seen being tossed out of a vehicle in Detroit. We were sad to see her condition when we arrived at the scene. She had a serious case of mange with secondary skin infection and she was severely malnourished. We rushed her to a veterinary hospital where she was treated and now she is in a loving foster home where she is continuing her recovery.

Hope had been given away by her owner to some kids that were walking by. Once the kids got her home they realized that she was very sick and she later tested positive for parvo. They were not able to pay for her medical care so we agreed to take her. Sadly despite our best efforts, Hope died 4 days later. Rest easy Hope and know that you will not be forgotten.

Little Abel was surrendered to us by his owner when he was only 3 days old. His little legs were not working properly and his mom had stopped feeding him. He has been receiving round-the-clock care in one of our medical foster homes and he is thriving. When he gets a little older he will be headed to physical therapy.

Whiskey was rescued in Detroit as he was running around on a busy road. He was limping and severely matted. We had him groomed and took him to a vet hospital and it was determined he had a dislocated ankle with bone fragments in them. He is going to have a surgical repair soon and will be looking forward to his new happier life off the streets.

We received a call from the Detroit Police regarding China who had been a victim during a drive-by shooting. We went to the location and watched as the officer picked her up she continued to wag her tail. We rushed her to an emergency vet for care but sadly the bullet had done too much damage. Rest easy China and know you will be missed sweet girl.

Poor little Cassidy had been dumped on someones porch in Detroit by their neighbor who knew her foot had been injured. Our contact reported that she was injured for a while before her paw and toes feel off. We took her to a vet hospital for care and when she gets a little older she will be getting a prosthetic to walk on. Cassidy is already enjoying her new better life!

For my upcoming birthday I am asking that my supporters help me raise money for our rescued dogs by donating any amount. This year we have a very special donor who is matching all donations made in honor of my birthday up to $5,000!

I am so thankful and grateful for all our generous supporters who have helped our organization and been a part of our journey to help the poor stray dogs in Detroit that desperately need our help.

With sincere gratitude,

This past week we were contacted about two separate incidents involving dogs that collapsed due to extreme heat exhaustion. Sadly both dogs died before we were able to get them to a veterinary hospital. Please don't walk your dogs in extreme temperatures because it doesn't take long for a dog to collapse in these hot temperatures.
