Booger has been with us since he was just 6 weeks old. Now 3 years old, this sweet boy has faced health challenges his entire life, but nothing like what he’s battled recently. Just weeks ago, Booger’s health took a dramatic turn, and the vets feared the worst. With his red blood cells dangerously low, a significant amount of fluid around his lungs and abdomen, and other alarming symptoms, it was believed he might only have weeks or months to live. Through ultrasounds, tests, and treatments, everything we feared—like cancer and other severe illnesses—came back negative. With cautious optimism, we kept fighting for Booger, and slowly but surely, he began to improve. His red blood cell levels are now in a normal range, and his white blood cell count has come down significantly. We’re thrilled to share that Booger is the healthiest he’s been in his entire life. While he’s not completely out of the woods, his remarkable progress has given us hope. We believe the deep abscess on his foot, which has since healed, may have played a significant role in his symptoms. Whether it was the primary cause or exacerbated an underlying condition, we may never know. But what we do know is that Booger’s fighting spirit—and your support—made all the difference. Booger is just one of the many animals we’ve helped recently. TuxTwo, a 3-year-old kitty, recently had her eye removed due to cancer and is healing beautifully. Carizo, another young cat, had extensive dental surgery to remove most of his teeth due to painful stomatitis and is now eating without pain. Carter, a senior dog rescued from a hoarding case, suffers from entropion eyelids of canines—a condition where the eyelids turn inward, causing irritation and discomfort—and requires corrective surgery to improve his quality of life. All of these medical cases combined have totaled over $6,000. We’re now working to replenish our medical funding so we can continue to say “yes” to animals in need. Your support makes this possible, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us give these animals a second chance. 📌 How You Can Help: Share Share Share if you can't d0nate.

Oakley’s story with us began in heartbreak and ended in love. After his dad’s unexpected passing, Oakley’s family had nowhere to turn. Thanks to the compassion of Herbst Veterinary Hospital, Oakley was given a second chance at life with Petunia’s. Giving Oakley a life filled with joy, care, and unending love. From the moment he arrived, Oakley lit up our lives. He was loud, quirky, and full of life. Whether zooming around in his wheelchair or without it, Oakley was always on the move, showing us that even with challenges, life could be lived to the fullest. His Frenchie snorts and unique personality made everyone around him smile. A huge thank you to Janelle and her family, who opened their hearts and home to him as his forever medical foster. Janelle, your love and dedication gave Oakley the life he deserved, filled with snuggles, hand-fed meals, and all the care he needed. You gave him a home where he was loved fiercely and where he could just be Oakley—zoomies, snorts, and all. Over the past month, Janelle started noticing small changes. Oakley became a little picky with his food, but his energy remained, and we hoped it was nothing serious. Janelle made sure he ate with hand feeding and extra attention, but despite her best efforts, Oakley began to lose weight. Earlier in the week, his energy dropped for the first time. Thursday, we brought him to Dr. Bailey, at Herbst Veterinary Hospital, to find out what was wrong. A big thank you to Dr. Chwala, an internal specialist, for taking the time to help Sweet Oakley. The diagnosis was devastating: a fast-growing, aggressive GI Lymphoma tumor. It had likely been there for only a month and became symptomatic just a few days ago. There was nothing more we could do except give Oakley the peace he so deserved. Saying goodbye was heartbreaking. Dr. Bailey and the team at Herbst gave him so much love in his final moments, and he was surrounded by the people who adored him. While our hearts are shattered, we take comfort in knowing that Oakley didn’t have to suffer. He was his happy, snorting, zooming self until just a few days ago. Oakley, you taught us so much about resilience, love, and joy. You were a reminder of why we do what we do. You were deeply loved—not just by Janelle and her family but by everyone who met you. You made an indelible mark on our lives, and saying goodbye to you feels unbearable. But we know your memory will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to love you. To our supporters: Over the past couple of months, we’ve faced so many heartbreaking medical cases like Oakley’s. It’s because of your generous donations that we’re able to provide the care, surgeries, and treatments these animals need. Your support also allows us to help members of our community say goodbye to their beloved furbabies with humane euthanasia and bring them home through cremation—a costly but deeply meaningful service for families in their hardest moments. 💖 Help us continue this vital work by supporting our mission. Oakley’s legacy, and the legacy of so many others, lives on through your kindness. Together, we can make a difference. Rest easy, Oakley. You were so, so loved.
