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 a Chihuahua / Rat Terrier mix who was found running stray at about 3 months old 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.

FLUTTER
Flutter is an 18 year old Triton Cockatoo who is in rescue on Medical Hold until further notice.
Flutter is has feather loss, dehydration, muscle wasting, and is all in all, a pretty skinny guy.
Flutter is under the care of Dr. Fitzgerald, Board Certified Avian veterinarian at Exotic Pet Vets. Flutter has been discovered to have some scoliosis in his spine, which partially explains his “wobbly” gait and general shakiness. At this time, further blood work results are pending.
Flutter is in a heavily enriched environment where he is rebuilding grip strength on multiple natural wood and rope perches. He is being offered an EXTREMELY varied diet in attempts to get him to eat something besides heat-processed pellets so that we can get complete nutrition into him, help him learn to forage, and hopefully, put some meat on those bones.

"MACAW" is on Medical Hold
This sweetie is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our animals receiving medical treatment. What they need most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! And exotic veterinarians are EXPENSIVE! ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, we would be incredibly grateful.
“MACAW”
This beautiful baby was a transfer from a local Colorado animal shelter. He/She was surrendered after the owner passed away.
Rescues and sanctuaries are FULL. We have the knowledge and ability to care for these exotic birds, so of course we were happy to help this sweet little one. (Who we are referring to as a girl until the DNA test comes back.)
This little one WILL be named once the DNA test confirms male or female. She is currently undergoing a minimum 6 week quarantine to ensure there are no contagious illnesses that can be transmitted to other birds.
She is estimated to be in her late teens/early 20’s according to her leg band. She is under the expert care of Dr. Fitzgerald, Board Certified Avian veterinarian at Exotic Pet Vets, where biochemistry and CBC tests are being run to test for general health, and she’s already had a comprehensive physical exam.
The bird band she is wearing around her leg needs to be removed as it is hurting her. She is skinny. She is exhibiting stereostippie behaviors that may suggest her life previously wasn’t what her species requires.
She is learning to forage and eat a more diverse diet as we work to get weight onto her, and get her ready for adoption.

POOF! IS ALMOST READY!
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.
💜 8/26/26 – POOF! Finally gained enough weight to safely spay her! We anticipate opening applications for her this week!

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 is on Medical Hold
Murray is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our dogs receiving medical treatment. What he needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help Kirby with a tax deductible donation toward his expensive medical care, we would be incredibly grateful.
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.
💜 8/26/26 – Murray is ready! The cough has stopped, his PCR report came back clear, and he was recently neutered. He is healing up with his foster mom and we anticipate accepting applications for him this week.

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 ♥
