Florecita was rescued with two painful fractures in her pelvis. But worst of all, an ultrasound revealed something shocking: Florecita was pregnant—with two huge babies! Thankfully, all three survived.

Bomberito was found completely paralyzed, unable to move any of his four legs. At first, the worst was feared—euthanasia seemed inevitable. But thanks to intensive neural therapy, he made a miraculous recovery!

Mashmellow came with a severe eye injury from trauma. At first, it seemed like removing her eye was the only option. But thanks to an amazing treatment her inflammation reduced and her eye was saved.

Vincent was rescued on a sidewalk by a bus stop. He was so weak he could barely move. He had terrible anemia, Ehrlichiosis (blood parasites transmitted by ticks), and heartworm (transmitted by mosquitoes).
