We can’t help her without you. She is a special needs baby who needs to be medically transported to a specialist and her rescuers. She is unable to use her rear legs and we can only imagine what was done to her.

She was discovered covered in f***s and urine, infested with fleas and ticks and buried in mid outside a church in Alabama. Two good samaritans were walking past the church and heard the cries of the suffering baby and had to dig through to find her.

They started to clean off the f***s, mud and urine to discover that she is paralyzed in the back legs and could not support her weight.

She was found in an area where abused and neglected puppies are often dumped but we can never be sure without a witness! We are raising funds to cover her emergency care here

With immense heartache we have been told that Pili took her last breath. We are heartbroken and defeated to say the least. Pili captured our hearts and tugged at our souls. Near and Far Animal Foundation wanted her to conquer the cruelty and loneliness that she endured.

After years and years of being used by a puppy mill Pili’s body became ravaged by cancer and became blind! She may have been blind but she was surrounded by the loving rescuers at Near and Far Animal Foundation. She couldn’t see but she could feel the love from all over the world.

Pili, we know the angels carried you on their wings over the rainbow bridge and you can now see the beauty of heaven.

Sadly, it's difficult to prosecute animal abuse cases (even with ample and conclusive evidence) & we rarely see any punishment that we feel fits the crime.

Perkins was surrendered to the Fort Worth Animal Shelter in 2019. At the time, his five-month-old body was bloody & covered in scabs from infections including mange. His eyes were swollen shut. He had been adopted by Lewis Lamont Wilson just a few months earlier.

On Tuesday, Wilson, 36, pled guilty to the felony charge of Cruelty to an Animal. He was placed on seven years of supervised probation & if he doesn't meet the conditions of his probation, he faces seven years in prison.

While on probation, he can't own, possess or have care, custody or control over an animal. He also will not be allowed to consume drugs or alcohol & he will have to take domestic violence classes.

“If we had waited for this to go to trial, it could have taken quite some time given the backlog of cases due to the pandemic,” said David Alex, assistant criminal district attorney. “I would rather have him convicted & on probation then remain on bond for that long. This probation means someone will be looking over his shoulder for seven years to make sure he doesn’t come near or hurt another animal.”

This conviction wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of Fort Worth Police Detective Vyers, David Alex, Sharen Wilson, Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney and of course Dallas Dog RRR!!

"He's thriving. He has a great forever family and so many people supported him and got him through this!'

Dallas DogRRR President, Patti Dawson, has been attending court as a representative for all of the people who wished to see Perkins' case heard. The pandemic slowed court proceedings & they began to doubt that Perkins would ever get his day in court. The day came, however, & it is largely thanks to our supporters who wrote letters & made phone calls demanding our voices be heard."

A local rescuer in Peru noticed a dog in the streets that was visibly unhealthy. Dania had thick mucus poring from her nose and sounded like she was having upper respiratory problems and appeared weak.

The rescuer took Dania immediately to the clinic. Once they arrived, Dania presented with a noticeable tremor in her rear leg. This is concerning because it can point to distemper, a most likely fatal virus.

Dania also has raw sores on her hind quarters. She is very malnourished and the sores come from her skinny body laying on the hard ground causing pressure sores.

Dania had to have been suffering in the streets of Peru with nobody ever helping. It was almost as if the streets of Peru became Dania's prison. If it wasn't for the local rescuer doing something, Dania would have perished in her "prison".

We have created this campaign to help raise the funds needed to save Dania and support Near and Far Animal Foundation which you can read here >> https://dogco.org/dania

We want to share an update with you on Dillon. Yesterday was an extremely critical day and we were in a race against time to save Dillion’s life. Dillon was found is such deplorable condition, Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs was unsure if he was going to make it. Thankfully, Dillon did make it through the night.

He is in serious but stable condition. He is unable to hold his own glucose levels, so they have him on a dextrose drip. His blood pressure drops dangerously low, so they have him on pressers. They conclude this is most likely from sepsis and the doctors are aggressively fighting the infection with IV antibiotics.

In addition to all of this, Dillon has a hiatal hernia, his little body is very starved, and what has been extremely concerning from the beginning is how stiff Dillon’s body is. I have his full report here https://dogco.org/dillion
