21 TEETH. $613.30. AND SOMEHOW… MINNIE & PRINCE ARE STILL HERE. 🚨
We are genuinely shocked these two haven’t been adopted yet.
Minnie and Prince came to us after spending roughly a year living outside, and when they arrived, it was obvious their little bodies had been neglected in more ways than one.
One of the biggest needs? Their mouths.
On September 1st, Minnie and Prince finally had their dentals.
And between the two of them…
TWENTY-ONE TEETH HAD TO BE PULLED.
That is not “just bad breath.”
That is not cosmetic.
That is not something that should be ignored because a dog is older.
Dental disease can be incredibly painful. Dogs are also masters at hiding discomfort, and many will continue eating, playing and acting “normal” despite significant infection or diseased teeth.
For senior dogs especially, dental care can make an enormous difference in comfort and quality of life.
And these two needed it badly.
Their dental bill alone was $613.30 — and that does NOT include everything else we’ve already covered for them: exams, vaccines, preventatives, medications, supplies, Prince’s eye testing and the rest of their medical care.
But you know what gets us?
After losing 21 teeth between them, they are recovering beautifully and are STILL the sweetest little angels.
❤️ MINNIE is a soft, gentle little soul. She’s sweet, affectionate and happy just being near her person. She has that precious senior-dog energy where she doesn’t need a whole lot from life — just somewhere comfortable, someone kind and plenty of love.
💙 PRINCE is equally precious, with a little more personality packed into his tiny body. He loves affection, enjoys being with his people and has been such a good boy through all of his exams, eye testing and medical care.
They’ve spent so much of their lives together, and we would LOVE to see them stay together…
BUT THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY BE ADOPTED SEPARATELY.
We would rather see each of them in a wonderful forever home than have either one wait indefinitely simply because someone thinks they must take both.
They deserve homes.
They deserve couches.
They deserve soft beds.
And after everything they’ve been through, they deserve to spend the rest of their lives being somebody’s spoiled little babies instead of rescue dogs waiting for their turn.
🌵 CAN YOU HELP US RECOVER SOME OF THEIR MEDICAL COSTS?
Their dentals were $613.30, and even $5, $10 or $20 helps us refill the account so we can turn around and help the next animal waiting.
