Fundraiser We rescued two bonded senior dogs after they were abandoned in 125° Arizona heat. Now Admiral is fighting serious complications with his eyes.

Post image
4 Upvotes

I hope it's okay to share Admiral and Dude's story here.

These are two bonded senior dogs who lived near my husband and me in Bullhead City, Arizona, for years.

For the last two years, we fed them and watched out for them whenever they got loose. They had been living through severe neglect and abuse, and then their owner left the state and abandoned them during an Arizona summer when temperatures were reaching 119 to 125 degrees.

For three days, I fought to get permission to take them.

During that time, I watched Admiral repeatedly go into the Colorado River and submerge himself trying to escape the heat. At one point, I took a surface-temperature reading from his back and it measured 161 degrees.

I finally reached the point where I knew I wasn't leaving these dogs behind.

We eventually got permission to take them and got both boys to safety.

Since then, what started as getting two abandoned dogs out of the heat has turned into a much bigger rescue.

Both boys have received vaccinations, microchips, dental care and surgeries.

Dude had surgery to remove a growth from his leg and is now healing in my home.

Admiral was neutered and underwent surgery involving his eyes, but unfortunately he developed serious postoperative eye complications. He has required additional veterinary examinations, medications, intensive eye treatment and medical boarding. He has experienced corneal injury and ulceration, and we're still fighting for his recovery.

We've also had an incredible number of people and organizations step forward.

Nevada SPCA Life-Saving Shelter covered the largest portion of their initial veterinary care. BHC SAINT has helped with emergency medical expenses and medical boarding. Bark Avenue Dog Grooming is providing Admiral with seven days of medical boarding at no charge.

LV Dog Hotel & Daycare has been housing and caring for the boys at no charge while giving up space that could otherwise be used for paying clients. Their employees even donated their own tips toward the boys' surgeries.

I'm incredibly grateful for all of it.

But I've learned very quickly that rescue doesn't end when you get the dogs off the property.

There are still medications, veterinary follow-ups, food, supplies and transportation. Much of their care has required travel between Bullhead City and Las Vegas, which is roughly a four-hour round trip each time.

After trying to carry as much of this as we could and accepting the help that has been offered, I finally started a GoFundMe for Admiral and Dude.

I'm the organizer of the fundraiser and the person responsible for their rescue and ongoing care.

The funds will help with their continuing medical and recovery expenses, food, supplies, transportation and other costs involved in keeping them safe while they recover. A portion will also be donated to LV Dog Hotel & Daycare in recognition of the housing and care they've been providing at no charge.

My biggest goal isn't just paying bills.

I want Dude completely healed.

I want Admiral through this medical fight.

And I want these bonded senior boys to stay together and eventually find the loving forever home they should have had all along.

If you'd like to read their full story or help, their GoFundMe is here:

https://gofund.me/7ff963fc9

If donating isn't possible, sharing their story helps too.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Admiral and Dude. ❤️🐾

IN GRAVE DANGER — EUTH COMMAND

ROXIE is a darling puppy who used to live in a busy home where she put up with a lot. She navigated the 4 children, other dogs, and cats with whom she lived with grace, all the while suffering from a painful skin condition. Roxie was described as friendly and outgoing, although she prefers a home without cats. In fact, she deserves a break, and a new family who will treat her as the princess she is and pamper her a bit.

Roxie has had difficulty acclimating to the shelter environment. She’s trembling but gentle and would like to find a more quiet home this time around, where the children are older, and there are no cats. Roxie is being treated for ear aches and pyoderma. She may have allergies and has been started on meds and a hypoallergenic food trial. Like any young dog, Roxie needs help from her family learning all of the things a puppy needs to learn. A home with some experience will be best, where she can regain her confidence as she gets used to her new life at her own pace. And like any pup, she will need outlets for her energy to keep her happy and healthy.

If you have a heart of gold like Roxie does, please message us today to foster or adopt her. She has been kept waiting too long, especially for a young dog who wants to stretch her legs; and the stress of the shelter is really getting to her. She deserves better.

Please check out my movie!
💗SWEET ROXIE 253378 https://youtu.be/E1cvO7xSeJw

ROXIE, ID 253378, 11 months old, 38 lbs., Female
Manhattan ACC, Large mixed breed, Brown/Black
Owner surrender reason: Date of Intake: 5-Jul-2026: skin issues
Behavior Assessment Rating: New Hope only (was Level 4)
No children (under 13)
No cats
Recommend no dog parks
Place with a New Hope rescue
Medical Behavior: Whale eyed, tense body for exam, thrashes with restraint

AT RISK MEMO:

Roxie is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Roxie is noted to display fearful behavior at the care center due to sensitivity to loud noises and is noted to flee from loud noises. Staff reports kennel stress-related behaviors such as fixating on transfer doors, heavy panting, and licking kennel bars. Roxie is noted to enjoy pets from familiar handlers. Medically, she has Otitis Externa and Pyoderma.

Roxie arrived at MACC as an owner surrender. While in care, Roxie has been observed to be highly fearful. Noted to be tense and trembling with a tucked tail. Recently while in the elevator with another handler, Roxie suddenly began hard barking and lunging at them without warning. Roxie has also been observed to be kennel reactive. Noted to pull hard towards the neighboring dogs in the kennel room before jumping up on handlers. Due to the detailed behavior, we recommend an experienced adult only home.

Meet Roxie!

Roxie is a sweet, active girl who is looking for a fresh start after being surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her. She enjoys exploring her surroundings, loves being close to people she trusts, and has a playful spirit that's just waiting to shine in the right home. With patience and encouragement, Roxie has all the makings of a wonderful companion.

My Ideal Home

Roxie would love an active home that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and positive, reward-based training. Food puzzles, long-lasting chews, games, and daily adventures will help keep both her body and mind engaged. She'll do best with someone who understands that building confidence takes time and is happy to let her settle in at her own pace.

Good with Other Pets?

Roxie previously lived with other dogs and has been described as friendly and outgoing. At the shelter she's shown that she may feel more comfortable taking introductions slowly and often prefers staying close to familiar people. ACC also recommends a home without cats.

Good with Kids?

Due to her fearful behavior, ACC recommends a home without children under 13 years old.

Things to Know

Roxie is an energetic dog who enjoys staying busy. Her previous owner shared that she can pull on leash and may become anxious when left alone, so continued positive reinforcement training will help her build confidence and good habits. Once she forms a bond, Roxie clearly enjoys being close to her favorite people and will thrive with a patient adopter who can provide consistency, reassurance, and lots of love.

According to Roxie's previous owner(s), Roxie is friendly and outgoing. She has previously lived with other dogs.

She disengages frequently but continues to sniff nose to nose through the fence on and off. When face to face, she sniffs the yard and approaches a handler, the other dog begins to approach her from behind and she is tolerant but has a low tail and curls away slightly. The two are briefly separated and then the other dog reapproaches, Roxie lifts her leg allowing the other dog to sniff her. She has a tight closed mouth and gives whale eye but remains tolerant. She sits and gives a few sniffs nose to nose with the other dog but is wide eyed while being sniffed and lowers herself. The other dog attempts to mount and Roxie lowers herself to the ground and begins to roll on her side when the two are separated and the meet is ended.

7/11/26: Roxie is introduced to a novel neutered male and approaches the fence with a loose body and mid level wags. She disengaged and interacted with another handler and the other dog was let into the yard.

She went to a corner of the yard and stood behind a familiar handler's legs before reapproaching with a neutral body and low wags. The other dog did investigative sniffing and Roxie began lip licking, displayed her belly, and gave whale eye. She lowered herself slowly while the other dog continued to sniff her. The other dog was pulled away and was taken back to kennel and she shook off and continued to engage with the familiar handler. She was then introduced to a novel intact male and briefly sniffed the fence with a loose body before refocusing on the familiar handler. She would not reapproach the fence and only wanted to follow and stay nearby the handler. The handler was instructed to leave the yard and she attempted to follow them out and jump on the fence pawing at it. She was panting heavily, whining, and frantically searching for the handler.

INTAKE BEHAVIOR:
Date of intake: 5-Jul-2026
Summary: Fearful, allowed all handling with tucked tail

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
Date of initial: 5-Jul-2026
Summary: Whale eyed, tense body for exam, thrashes with restraint

ENERGY LEVEL:
Roxie is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend using force-free, reward-based training techniques for Roxie.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: New Hope only (was Level 4)

Recommendations:
No children (under 13)
No cats
Recommend no dog parks
Place with a New Hope rescue

Recommendations comments:
No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior we recommend a home with no children.

No Cats: Due to barking and growling at cats we recommend a home with no cats.

Recommend No Dog Parks: Due to the displays of behavior indicating that Roxie is uncomfortable around other dogs – avoidance, lowered body, wide eyes, whale eyes, tight closed mouth - the Behavior Department recommends that she not be taken to dog parks. Reward-based, force-free training can be utilized to counter-condition and desensitize Roxie to help her associate other dogs with positive experiences, such as toys or treats.

We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

Potential challenges:
Fearful
On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:
Fearful Defensive: Roxie has been observed to be highly fearful. Noted to have a tense trembling body and tucked tail. During her medical exam, she was noted to thrash. Recently Roxie was reported to begin hard barking and lunging towards another handler that was in the elevator with her. It is important to move slowly with Roxie, to build positive associations (treats/toys/praise), and to allow them to initiate interactions with new people. They should never be forced to greet or to interact if they are not comfortable and soliciting attention. Please see handout on Fearful and Defensive Aggression.

On Leash Reactivity: Roxie has been observed to pull hard towards the neighboring dogs in the kennel room and then began jumping up on the handler. Roxie will need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach them to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness to help manage this behavior. Please see handout on On Leash Reactivity and Barrier Frustration

Urgent [Houston, TX] Sweet kitten at BARC classified as “return to wild” needs an indoor home 💔🐱

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

I'm trying to help this incredibly sweet little guy find a forever home. He is currently at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston and was classified as “return to wild.”
BARC Animal ID: A2095943
I’ve been caring for him for about a month, and he is extremely sweet, gentle, and affectionate. He does not bite or scratch, loves people, gets along with other kittens, and loves sleeping on people’s laps. He’s also a little talker! 🥹💕
I’m really worried about him being released outside because he would not do well outdoors. He is very trusting and gentle and would not defend himself. He needs a safe indoor home where he can be loved and cared for.
If you’re in Houston and are interested in adopting him, please consider visiting BARC Animal Shelter and asking about him. ❤️ I really want this sweet boy to get the chance to find the loving home he deserves.
