The pets below are NOT AVAILABLE for adoption – so please do not apply for them. These are kiddos currently in our care who are being treated for various illnesses and injuries, or are new moms who are busy raising their angel babies ♥ Watch our website and our Facebook page to learn when we will start accepting applications for them.
Your donations to P.R.A.R. help us to care for these special cases, most of which often cost the rescue several THOUSANDS of dollars. We appreciate all the help we can get to give our orphans the very best care available! ♥
SQUISHY is on MEDICAL HOLD 💜
Squishy is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs receiving medical treatment. What she needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help Squishy with a tax deductible donation toward her lengthy care, vetting, and any potential complications, we would be incredibly grateful. 
Squishy is about a 4 month old chihuahua mix who was found running stray in N. Texas. One look told us, something is very clearly different with this little girl’s body! Basically, she’s a medical unicorn.
Xrays have baffled 4 veterinarians and one veterinary neurologist. Squishy’s spine, vertebrae, and ribs are… “wonky.” Yeah, that’s a medical term when you can’t figure out WTH is going on!
One doctor in TX said her spine was broken. It’s not. This is some sort of congenital abnormality, and likely a combination of several rare abnormalities.
We will be working with our medical teams to get little Squishy’s condition figured out and support her as best we can with any special needs she may have.
Follow Squishy’s story on our FACEBOOK page – we’ll be using the hashtag #Squishy for this lil’ darlin’.
Differential / Working Diagnosis
Congenital vertebral malformation syndrome (multiple malformed vertebrae, hemivertebrae, transitional vertebrae)
Sacral/caudal regression / partial agenesis of sacrum/coccyx (explains short tail)
Atypical/variant short-spine syndrome (not classic, but milder form preserving neck length.
This is not necessarily a fatal or catastrophic condition — many dogs with vertebral malformations live functional lives without surgery.
The prognosis depends on whether there is spinal cord compression or neurologic compromise; if none now, the goal is to preserve function and quality of life.

BAGEL is on Medical Hold
Bagel is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs receiving medical treatment. What they need most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, we would be incredibly grateful.
BAGEL
Bagel was rescued from the commercial pet trade sick with an upper respiratory infection, giardia, coccidia, and is cryptorchid.
That means his Christmas baubles haven’t dropped. We’ve given those stubborn baubles a couple of months to see if they’ll make an appearance on their own, and it’s not happening.
Bagel will require abdominal surgery to locate his missing testicles so that we can neuter him. This surgery is quite invasive and significantly more expensive than a typical neuter. We are letting him grow up a little before we have to put him through it.

POOF! is on Medical Hold
Poof is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs receiving medical treatment. What they need most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, we would be incredibly grateful.
POOF! was rescued from the commercial pet trade in June. She arrived weighing just 1.6 pounds, sick with an upper respiratory infection, giardia, coccidia, and an open fontanelle.
Not long after she arrived, Poof had a glucose crash, which, thankfully, we were able to turn around VERY quickly.
Poof has healed from her upper respiratory infection and GI bugs. But she is STILL an itty-bitty little thang! After 7 weeks, Poof has gained approximately… ONE pound.
We simply are not comfortable spaying her at this miniscule size. So Poof is hanging with the crew, bossing the big dogs around, and acting like a pint-sized hoodlum while we pack as much food as we can into that floofy little body.

CHANCE is on Medical Hold
Chance not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs on medical hold. What he needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, we would be incredibly grateful.
Chance was rescued from the commercial pet trade in June. He arrived sick, and VERY unsteady on his feet.
He was rushed to the emergency room the moment he arrived where he was put through the gamut of tests, given fluids and anti-nausea medication. Chance improved GREATLY over the next several days, but his gate is still a little… “off.”
Chance had a consultation with our neurologist in July and she would like us to hold onto him for a couple of months to see if his gate improves, or if further testing will be needed.

SLOANE is on Medical Hold
Sloane is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs on medical hold. What she needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help Billy, Charlie, and Shenzi with a tax deductible donation toward their rehavilitation and medical care, we would be incredibly grateful.
Sloane arrived in our program in June after being rescued from the commercial pet trade. She arrived with an upper respiratory infection, giardia, coccidia, and a significantly hooded vulva.
A hooded vulva-also called a recessed or inverted vulva-is an anatomical condition where a female dog’s vulva is hidden or sunken beneath the surrounding folds of skin. This traps moisture, urine, and bacteria, frequently leading to skin fold dermatitis, vaginitis, or recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Our veterinarian wants Sloane to remain in rescue for a couple of months to see if this big girl will “outgrow” the hooded vulva. If the the hooded vulva does not correct with growth, she will require a vaginoplasty surgery to help ensure that she will go on to lead a quality life free of recurring UTI’s.
Pray for her, and for us. We don’t want to have to put her through this difficult surgery/recovery. BUT… More than we DON’T want her to have to go through it, we absolutely DO NOT want her life to be a series of painful urinary infections.

Murray arrived in June after being rescued from the commercial pet trade.
Murray arrived with an upper respiratory infection and giardia. After multiple rounds of medications, Murray continues to have a persistent wet cough that has our veterinarians perplexed, as his respiratory PCRs have come back negative for any of the pathogens that our labs know to test for.
Murray will remain in rescue for further diagnostics and treatment until such time that little hims is all healed up and can be safely neutered.

PLEASE consider a tax deductible donation to help us help these medical and maternity cases. These sweet souls often cost the rescue thousands, if not TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars. We never want to say, “NO” to an animal in need, but we cannot continue to take on more medically fragile dogs without the continued support of our animal-loving community ♥
