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 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 is on Medical Hold
Flutter is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our animals receiving medical treatment.
Caring for exotic animals is prohibitively expensive. Like, ‘add an extra ‘0’ to whatever you think something MIGHT cost’ kind of expensive. 😬 Caring for an exotic animal with an illness is… 🤯
Diagnostics ALONE have cost the rescue nearly $3,000. This does not include the ‘WEEKLY’ NSAID therapy injections he needs, ongoing purchases of a gazillion toys and enrichment items for him to completely annihilate, (don’t worry, that’s his job) or the special equipment for his enclosures to help him build strength and navigate safely.
Flutter is in a heavily enriched environment designed intentionally to help him feel secure, keep him safe when he falls, navigate easily, stimulate his brain, and rebuild grip strength on multiple natural wood and rope perches.
He is being offered an EXTREMELY varied diet of high quality pellets, fresh vegetables, legumes, sprouts, seeds, and some fruits in attempts to get this stubborn boy to get complete nutrition.
What Flutter needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality treatment with his very expensive exotic vet. ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, or purchasing much needed items from our AMAZON WISHLIST, we would be incredibly grateful.
FLUTTER
Flutter is an 18 year old Triton Cockatoo who is on medical hold due to neurological complications & physical limitations.
He arrived in July with feather loss, dehydration, muscle wasting, and… pretty wobbly. He is under the care of Dr. Fitzgerald, Board Certified Avian veterinarian at Exotic Pet Vets.
That test alone cannot diagnose PDD ( proventricular dilatation disease). But when we put it together with his neurological symptoms, his enlarged proventriculus, and the fact that extensive testing has not found another explanation, our veterinarian now has a high suspicion that Flutter is suffering from PDD/Avian ganglioneuritis (AG).
We don’t know what his timeline looks like.You can follow Flutter on our FACEBOOK page – search the hashtag #Flutter
DOLLY is on Medical Hold
Dolly is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our animals in quarantine or who are receiving medical treatment.
Caring for exotic animals is prohibitively expensive. Like, ‘add an extra ‘0’ to whatever you think something MIGHT cost’ kind of expensive. 😬
Dolly’s “check-up” and bloodwork to ensure she’s healthy has already cost nearly $1,000, and she still has to go back in for sedation to place her microchip and remove her painful leg band. These costs do not include the incredibly varied diet offerings, toys & enrichment, or specific equipment required in aviculture.
What she needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! And did we mention that exotic veterinarians are EXPENSIVE! ♥
If you’re able to help support our medical program with a tax deductible donation, we would be incredibly grateful.
“DOLLY”
This beautiful baby was a transfer from The Denver Animal Shelter. She was surrendered after her 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.
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.
DNA testing has shown that Dolly is, in face, a FEMALE.
The bird band she is wearing around her leg is painful and needs to be removed. This will require sedation.
She is skinny. She is exhibiting stereostippie behaviors that may suggest her life and environment previously didn’t meet her very specific needs.
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.

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.
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 Sloane 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.

PHOENIX is on Medical Hold
Phoenix is not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our pets receiving medical treatment.
With the anticipation that he will need to see an opthalmologist once his URI has been treated, what Phoenix needs most is your support for our medical program to ensure continuation of top quality care! ♥
If you’re able to help Phoenix with a tax deductible donation toward his ongoing care, we would be incredibly grateful.
Phoenix is about a 4-month-old Domestic Shorthair Kitten who arrived in our program on 9/8/26 with a severe upper respiratory infection with both eye & lung involvement.
This ITTY-BITTY, 2lb boy was rushed to our community partners at Animal Emergency & Specialty Center where he underwent a LOT of testing and diagnostics.
Phoenix has infiltrates in his lower airway suggesting that he has Feline Lower Airway Disease as a result of the brutal URI he’s fighting. Eye stains did not show any ulcerations in the eyes, but doctors have been unable to move his 3rd eyelid on the right eye, so we are not sure if he’s dealing with an injury, congenital issue, or if it will resolve spontaneously with the URI.
Our plan is to treat the URI aggressively, and if the eyes are still in trouble, we will book an appointment with our opthalmologist for further diagnostics.

THE "B" LITTER is on Medical Hold
These babies are not available for adoption at this time. We do not accept inquiries or applications for our pets 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 our kiddos with a tax deductible donation toward ongoing care, we would be incredibly grateful.
Brynn, Branston, Boswell, and Bronco are guessed to be 11 week old mixed breed babies who arrived in our program on 9/4/26.
With great thanks to our intake team, these babies got exams, microchips, flea and tick prevention, dewormer, bordetella vaccinations, nail trims, and a WHOLE lot of snuggles!
Giardia – yes Coccidia – yes Tapeworms – yes 
But we’ll get them feeling better in no time!

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 ♥
