Purple Heart Miracle Club

Furry Friends Rescue's (FFR) "Miracle Club" transforms the lives of the neediest animals that we rescue from many animal shelters. FFR is often the last resort (before they are put to sleep) for hundreds of dogs and cats who are not only abandoned, but are sick, neglected, abused or injured, as well. These special animals need extensive vet care, surgery, hospitalization or boarding which costs FFR thousands of dollars to save them and bring them back to good health. The dog or cat then recovers and blossoms in their foster home with TLC until they find their forever adoptive family. Some seniors or animals with life-time medical illness become FFR Sanctuary pets where we take care of them for life.

We have created Miracle Club & Emergency Funds to help provide our rescued animals with much needed medical care (i.e. dental care and surgeries). Please donate today so that we can save our furry kids and provide them with a "Miracle" for life! Thank you for your kindness.

Frodo

Miniature Schnauzer, 6 years, 4 mos, 8 lbs

Frodo

Frodo was rescued from a shelter. He was nervous and timid at the shelter, but once out, he warmed up, he is gentle friendly. Frodo was unhealthy, thin and sick. He had blood in his urine and severe dental needs. We took him to our vet for all his lab tests, x-rays and surgeries. Turned out he could have died from a large bladder stone blockage and infected swollen prostate. Poor Frodo suffered for years in pain with no vet care. He needed antibiotic for his infection and surgeries to remove a marble-sized bladder stone (analysis revealed Struvite Stones), exploratory surgery for one testicle in his abdominal (large incision), dental, extractions of many rotten teeth, and treatment for his swollen prostate (infection). Frodo's surgeries were successful. After months of TLC and vet follow up, he is now healed from all his surgeries and very loved. He is eating holistic/fresh foods (home cooked/fresh) with more moisture. Frodo enjoys his daily walks, hikes, playing ball, meeting other dogs, having someone home, and lap/sofa time. He is very sweet, spunky and playful. Frodo needs a home with someone around every few hours with a backyard so he can urinate as needed. Bladder stone issues usually are caused from poor diet and dogs that have to hold it too long and can't relieve themselves for long hours.

Best diet to counter stones: Low-carb, grain-free, starch-free, potato-free, and fresh food diet. Read article Beware of This Life-Threatening Condition and the Telltale Signs That Foretell It

We appreciate and greatly need donations to pay for all his vet care, which cost us over $3,140.00

Snowy

10 years, Poodle mix. Miracle Club, Sanctuary Senior Dog

Photo of cutie Snowy is from 2014. Groomed and healthy looking.

Snowy was severely neglected when we rescued him from SJ Animal Shelter 2014. He was starved, matted, abused, sick, ear infections (fox tails) and had a bad infected large wound on his back (spine) with maggots. We took care of all his vet care and lab tests thru the years (thousands of $ for various medical needs). Unfortunately, due to the infection over his spine, Snowy got nerve damage, so he has no bladder or bowel control. At his wonderful foster home, he has to wear diapers and wraps all the time. His foster home has to change his diapers often and keep him clean. He is very loved.

Recently, Snowy had to have emergency vet care, hospitalization, x-rays, lab work and medications for bladder blockage and pancrease infection. Donations are greatly needed for his vet care and supplies $3,000. We need funds to pay for his vet bills and supplies that we cannot afford. He will need additional vet care, medications and will always need diapers, wraps and supplies which will cost us another $1,000 in the next few months (depending on vet needs).

Snowy suffered years of neglect and pain, but now he is loved and can live out his life at his sanctuary foster home. Snowy and FFR, greatly appreciate your compassion and donations to help support Snowy!

We rescued Kasey and many of his siblings from a home with multiple dogs. All were neglected, thin, dry skin and infested with fleas. They all need training and socialization. Kasey is a little shy due to the sudden change but he warms up, then is friendly and gentle. They are now getting full vet care and will need time in a foster home to relax, get healthy with holistic fresh food/supplements, trained and socialized. Kasey is a sweetie. Will give you kisses.

Update from his Foster Home: Poor Kasey also has ear and skin infections but our wonderful vet has taken care of the medical part and now he just needs some healthy food and TLC. He was confused but once he felt safe, he is playful, good with other dogs and already gives kisses. He is very puppy like. He would be best with another young playful dog in his forever home.

8/5/17: Kasey had to go back to our vet for a small lump that did not respond to antibiotics. Vet took a needle aspirate and we awaiting results.
9/21/17: Poor Kasey's lump on neck is not going away after tests and 2 sets of antibiotics. So now he needs surgery (growing/weeping).

Sweet & Happy Sammy

Sammy is super friendly, sweet and happy puppy who just wants to run and play like a normal teenager dog. He is smart, lovable, great with other dogs and eager to learn.

Poor Sammy had a seizure on the day we took him in at our vet office. During his seizure, he injured both his rear knees and could not stand nor walk. X-rays showed his tibia crest were to far a part so he needed surgery to repair both his knees so he can walk again. We also bought him a rear support wheelchair to help him go out for walks during his recovery. Sammy has his double rear leg tibia crest surgery. After 3 months of recovery, he start to walk again. Surgery and all follow up vet care (all the vet exams, test, meds, hospital care, additional many x-rays, etc). was over $6,000.

But, in the last couple of week, 8/15/15, he started to limp again. More x-rays were done and pain meds for Luxating patella on one rear leg. Now, 8/30/15, he cannot stand nor walk again. He now needs Luxating patella surgery on both his rear knees with a orthopedic surgeon. So heart breaking and sad! We are awaiting on cost of his next surgery, but it will probably be another $3-$4k. Without surgery, he cannot walk. Donation are greatly needed. Sammy will be a bionic dog!

Please help Sammy so he can walk again and live a healthy life! Thanks to his dedicated foster home for all their TLC and trips to the vets. Donations are greatly needed for his vet care and surgeries.

Update: He had his 4th leg surgery (luxating patella and pin removal from Tibia Crest).

Chappie

Cutie Chappie was rescued from a crowded shelter. Poor Chappie suddenly became tired and sick the first few days at our foster home. Something was wrong. He was not the spunky terrier puppy he should be. We rushed him in to our vets. From his full panel blood test, he had high liver ALT and then his Liver Bile Acid test showed something was wrong with his liver.

He went to VIMS specialist and specialist for Ultra Sound & x-rays to diagnose if he had Liver Shunt. He was treated with daily meds of Lactulose twice per day and prescription low protein food, which helped him feel better. Chappie then needed specialist surgery to repair his Liver Shunt or risk death from liver failure. He is getting lots of TLC from his foster home. We are hoping he will be fine.

Chappie, A Photo from Pet Food Express "My Mutt" Program

Chappie is very sweet and charming. He is too young to be so sick and needed this very expensive surgery. Here is article about Puppy Liver Shunt if you are interested.

Chappie had his Liver Shunt surgery with specialists and over-night hospital care at emergency center. He is now resting and doing well. It will take a month to recovery to see if this surgery works so his liver can process. He will go back for more blood tests and ultra sounds to check healing progress. Huge thanks to his super great foster home for all their TLC! A lot of hard work to care for him and trips to the vets. Vet bills so far: $7,000.00+. And it will be higher with additional ultra sounds and medications. Donations are greatly needed & appreciated to help Chappie!

Update 11/18/15: From his final blood test with specialist vet, VIMS, Chappie's Liver Shunt surgery was a success! He can now eat like a normal dog and continue to grow into a healthy happy adult! Chappie and all of us are super happy!!!!

Liam

Terrier / Yorkshire Terrier Mix, Male 5 Years Old

Liam's Before and After!

Liam was rescued from a crowded shelter where he was nervous and took time to adjust. Once out, he is timid but warms up and friendly, and now happy at his foster home.

Poor Liam was badly neglected. He was skinny, matted/dirty, untrained and had severe dental decay with infections. Liam had major severe dental surgery with x-rays, biopsy and 14 infected/rotten decayed teeth extracts. The infections was so bad, that it caused a hole from his gum to the roof of his mouth to his nasal cavity (causing food & water to travel to his nasal area so he cannot eat properly).

The hole needed additional repair surgery and we hope it will heal, or he will need to see a oral specialist. Liam suffered for years in pain with no proper vet care and badly neglected (left outside, skinny, badly matted) before he was dumped at a city shelter. Since we took him in, we are taking care of all his needs which is very costly, but he is now loved and getting lots of TLC. Huge thanks to his great foster home for all their TLC and driving him back/forth to the vet for all his vet needs. Liam is a gentle sweetie.

Liam, A Photo from Pet Food Express "My Mutt" Program

10/28/15 Update: Poor Liam. He saw the dog Oral Specialist today. $1,200 for x-rays and biopsy (no discount for rescue from this vet). He has very little bone on the roof of his mouth and the two holes may not be repairable. We are now awaiting the results of the biopsy.

11/17/17 Update: He another dental surgery with specialist. $1,700

We rescued Alice and her buddy, Henry, 7 years old lab, from a local city shelter. She was the shelter staff's favorite. They all love her. Alice is super sweet, gentle, soulful and everyone loves her. She seemed healthy (just over-weight & in need of dental cleaning), but after a month in her foster home, poor Alice had a front leg limp.

Her blood test showed high liver values for pain medication (that healed). We rushed her in for vet care, hospitalization, IV fluids, Ultra Sound, X-rays and many medications for her liver. Her liver and gall bladder were inflamed. She stopped eating and became jaundice. She got round the clock intensive care at the hospital for a week and perked up enough to eat. Her liver is failing and she had very poor clotting for needle biopsy.

At her foster home, she is very happy, but it is a struggle to get to eat something. Her dedicated foster home is stocked with all foods and trying everything while giving her 7 pills daily. On 2/20/14, with her decline and no options left, she had a high risk needle Biopsy of her liver and Plasma transfusion at a Internal Medicine Specialist (top specialist). Results shows: Severe Granulomatous Hepatitis with scar tissues (been sick for a while). Bio status (bio duct failing). Specialist do not know the cause.

We are awaiting 2 more tests for possible treatment. Donations towards her $5,500 vet bills are greatly needed and appreciated. Meanwhile, Alice is very loved and eating a little at home. We hope to find a treatable disease thru a top US specialist. Alice is a fighter and not giving up. Thanks to her dedicated and loving foster home for all their time and TLC to help Alice.

He was emaciated (only 60 lb), had huge infected sores all over his body, mats, and major ear infections. After one month of good food at the shelter, he is now 89 lb but still very thin. Ranger is from a West German Shepherd line (smart/working line).

He loves all people and is friendly. He allowed the shelter staff to handle and bathe him, and was cooperative when medication was applied to his painful ear infections. Quiet in crate during transport.

He knew no commands when he came to the shelter, but has already learned sit & down. Ranger responds well to training and looks to person for direction. He really wants to bond and learn. Ranger gets a little excited when meeting new dogs. He sniffs and doesn't know what to do (since he was isolated in yard) but the shelter sees improvement. He seems to want to play but is awkward. He did fine with a female large gentle dog.

Ranger needs an experienced GSD guardian who can handle a large strong dog. Adult and only dog home for now (for training). With training, vet care and healthy food, he will become a gorgeous, smart, and courageous German Shepherd, not to mention your best friend.

Ranger is now super happy and very loved. He was adopted to his forever great family with another FFR dog, Sammy.

Martha & MacGyver

Martha: Yellow Lab, Female, 8 years, 49 lbs.
MacGyver: Chocolate Lab, Male, 8 years 49 lbs.

Martha & MacGyver

Heart wrenching to see how these two have suffered for years in the wrong hands. They survived starvation and never gave up hope.

Martha & MacGyver were rescued on 10/3/12 from a crowded shelter. Both were dumped in emaciated (skin & bones, sunken eyes), flea infested, skin infections and very neglected condition. This is how they look after weeks of eating food 3 times per day at the shelter. They have been starved for a long time. Martha has infected big sore on her left side. MacGyver has various scraps and missing fur from sitting on cement. Both have severe atropy (muscle waste) from lack of movement (most likely were left in a cement dog pen outside & neglected for years).

Yet despite years of suffering, both are very friendly, warm hearted and sweet. We, FFR, will now rehabilitate them with lot's of healthy food, supplements, vet care and TLC.

MacGyver had very worned down front & bottom teeth from probably chewing on the metal pen bars. The vet cleaned his teeth and was able to save his teeth from extractions.

Martha, thrived, but unfortunately, she slowly became sick again. After much vet care, many tests, x-rays and ultra sound, she had cancer that spread from her stomach to her lungs and heart. Her loving foster home cared for her til it was time for her to pass to "Rainbow Bridge" in their loving arms. She suffered years of abuse, starvation and neglect, but was happy and very loved for months in her wonderful foster home. RIP Martha. We all love you.

MacGyver thrived and recovered his health with his great foster home. He is a very lovable and super happy boy. He was 49 lbs when we rescued him, but after a few month, he is now over 100 lbs! He was adopted to his forever loving home with another senior female dog. Now he and his family enjoy weekly hikes and lots of love!

MacGyver's Recovery

Huge thanks to their compassionate and loving foster homes! Donations appreciated to help these two with all their vet care.

Blitzen & Rudolph

Chihuahua

Blitzen & Rudolph

Blitzen, Rudolph and their mom Snowflake were rescued from an overcrowded shelter on 12/24/10. The two pups had dry-eye that were not cared for prior to being left at the shelter. All are very affectionate and give lots of kisses. The pups are active and playful and both love to be held and give kisses. Blitzen was seen by an eye vet specialist. He's right eye was blind so it had to be removed which cost FFR over $3000. His left eye had Entropian surgery and currently only requires lubrication drop for dry eye so the lids from top and bottom don't rub his eye. He may grow out of it. Meanwhile, he and his brother are very playful and happy pups. He needs eye drops every 1-3 hours.

Blitzen good left eye needs drops of cyclosporine, 3 times per day. Eye is not producing tears to lubricate.

Poor Rudolph was diagnosed as Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) and required surgery. And brave little Rudolph had his surgery and now doing well. We are still trying to recover from the financial challenges with these expensive medical processor. We have Chipin account created so that we can accept donation especially for their cause. Many thanks for your continuous support.

Moochie & Pooty, Pirate Brothers' Story

Domestic Short Hair

Moochie & Pooty

Both Moochi and his brother, Pooty, suffered severe eye infections, forcing the removal of their left eyes. By the time we rescued them, it was too late to save their eyes. They went into emergency surgery at VCA Mission SJ, and they did a remarkable job. But what the boys lack in eye volume, they make up for in purring, licking, cuddling, and bumping. If you ask them, life is all about the loving--readily given and received. As Moochie and Pooty say, "Arr, matey . . . infection took my eye, but not my love for life." Moochie was adopted. Pooty is ready and waiting for his forever home.

Ivan was rescued on March 14th, 2010 from a crowded shelter. He was neglected, scared and in horrible condition. He was suffering from demodex mange. After many months of vet care and TLC from his foster home, he has recovered and his mange is almost completely gone.

He is friendly, sweet and good with other dogs. He is a little timid of new situations and people. When he looks for comfort, he likes sitting on our shoes, snuggling and enjoys being held. He is good on leash and well behaved. He needs to stay on holistic healthy foods to maintain his health.

Marilyn & Monroe's Story

Bichon Frise / Poodle Mix 4 years old

Marilyn & Monroe

Marilyn & Monroe (sibling or buddy) were running in the streets for weeks. Starving and scared, they dodged many people trying to help them. A kind lady fed them until she was finally able to catch them and took them to the Tri-City Animal Shelter. Their time was up and they had no options left. Both were extremely scared, horribly neglected, dirty/matted, and covered with fleas. They probably lived their entire life in a backyard and then were dumped. Marilyn looks like she had puppies. Both are gentle souls and harmless. They show potential like the rest of the scared neglected dogs we've rescued, so we rescued them.

All they needed was grooming, training and some TLC in their foster home. After many months of care with Carol, they learned to walk on leash, got healthy and blossomed into friendly adorable dogs. Both are very bonded to each other and always clinged close to each other.

In end of Dec. 2010, they were adopted to their loving home for life. Both are now pampered and very happy doggies. They love their walks and even started training classes. Thanks to All About Pets Animal Care, Union City, for their grooming, vet care & boarding. Thanks to Carol for fostering them. Marilyn & Monroe got their miracle!

Ashley

Ashley was rescued from a Tri-City Animal Shelter when her time was up on December 5, 2009. Ashley is a very friendly and loving dog with a wonderful temperament. She loves to cuddle and is great with other dogs and kids. She is quite affectionate.

She likes attention and the human touch especially a scratch on the head and a rub on the belly. Despite her pain in both her rear legs which need TPLO surgeries, she's a love to everyone. She is doing great from her first TPLO surgery on one of her rear legs on 1/13/10 at Veterinary Surgical Associates (VSA), Dublin. Recovery time is 8 weeks, and then she will have the second knee done in mid-March. The doctors say that she will return to full unrestricted activity and be able to run and play like a normal dog. This surgery reconstructs the knee and makes it strong enough to handle normal dog activities. We thank VSA and her wonderful foster home, Sondra.

Nathaniel's Story

Chihuahua / Dachshund Mix, 2 months

Nathaniel

As a couple walked by a Hayward dumpster this past October they heard a weak whimper for help. They peeked inside and were shocked to find a tiny, emaciated, almost hairless and dying puppy. They took him to the Hayward Shelter, which saved his life by providing the sweet four-pound Chihuahua-Dachshund Mix with vet care and feeding him multiple meals per day to bring him back to stable health. After two weeks at the shelter, Furry Friends Rescue (FFR) was notified, and took Nathaniel in.

He was then up to six pounds but still very skinny and suffering from Demodex. Lisa, an FFR volunteer, fostered him at her home in San Jose, gave him plenty of TLC, and continued with his weekly visits with our vet. About a month later we met a very special and experienced family - Thierry, Julie, their kids, and dog, Frances. They all fell in love with Nathaniel's sweet and friendly personality, despite his unattractive skin condition that needed more treatment. Despite terrible odds, brave little Nathaniel, abused and dumped to die, found a wonderful home where he is adored and will be cherished for life.

Alfie

Alfie was rescued 3/25/05 from Pinole Shelter. He was badly neglected and he had chronic ear infections that caused him a lot of pain and ear drum damage. After several vet deep ear canal cleanings and antibiotics, it did not help relieve the pain so he had to have surgery to remove both ear drums due to decaying membranes.

He is a brave trooper despite all he has been through. He is very sweet, loves to snuggle on your lap and is well behaved. Alfie is courageous and wants to be your best friend for life...all heart and joy. He loves treats and will bounce over to you to greet you for treats.

He was adopted 6/19/05, but sadly, he was returned to us 2009 due a toddler in the family. Alfie was now a senior dog and also deaf who preferred to be the only dog in the household. After many months of searching and boarding care, Alfie finally found his guardian angels in December who fell in love with him. He is now their cherish furry kid and best friend.
