Purrfectly Wonky Animal Rescue, Deltona, FL (2026)

Just a little plot twist to add to our already busy week… 😅

Yesterday morning, I was dropping dogs off for their spay and neuter appointments when I spotted a tiny black thing tumbling around in the middle of the road on my drive home.

So naturally, I blocked two lanes of traffic to investigate, because there was no way I was driving past it if there was even a chance it was an animal.

And of course… it was. 🙃

Meet Flip Flop. 🖤

This poor little guy was found rolling around in the roadway with significant road rash and a very obvious injury to his front leg.
We got him to the vet yesterday for X-rays, and the results were heartbreaking.

X-rays show that his left front leg is completely broken in two places (see attached X-rays).
His pelvis is also slightly shifted, but thankfully that injury should heal on its own with strict cage rest.
His road rash should also heal with time and proper care.

Unfortunately, his front leg is another story.

After reviewing his injuries, the recommendation is amputation. While it’s never the news we hope for, animals adapt remarkably well to life on three legs, and we know Flip Flop has a bright future ahead of him.

And if his attitude is any indication, he’s going to do just fine. This little guy is spunky, determined, and full of personality. Despite everything he’s been through, he’s still fighting and still thinks the world is a pretty great place.

Now we need your help.

Flip Flop was a completely unexpected intake, and we need to raise the high end of his surgical estimate: $760 so we can move forward with his amputation as soon as possible.

Every dollar helps, whether it’s $5, $10, $20, or simply sharing this post with your friends and family.

Flip Flop deserves a chance to heal, grow up, and never have to worry about surviving in the middle of a road again.

Can you help us get this sweet boy the surgery he needs? 🖤🐾

Goal: $760 for Flip Flop’s amputation surgery

Pascal had a BIG weekend adventure!!
📍 Deltona, Fl

I know SOMEONE is looking for a water dog!
Boat days? Beach days? Days on the lake?

This handsome boy got to spend the day at a local swimming spot and he had an absolute BLAST! 🐾

Pascal immediately marched himself right into the water and shoved his entire head under like he had been waiting his whole life for this moment.
Don’t mind his pink lifejacket… he said he didn’t mind because safety first!! 😅

He did a little swimming, a little splashing, and a whole lot of relaxing where he could still touch the bottom.
He even climbed right up into his foster mom’s lap while she sat in the water so he could hand out kisses and soak up all the love. 🥹❤️

While he was there, Pascal met tons of new people, made a new dog friend, got ALL the good scratchies, and heard over and over again what a good boy he was. And honestly? They were right. He truly is such a special dog.

Pascal is social, affectionate, adventurous, and just happy to be included in whatever you’re doing. Whether it’s swimming, exploring, hiking trails, lounging around, or cuddling up after a fun day out — he’s your guy!

Now all he needs is a forever family of his own to keep making memories with. 🤞🏼❤️

It’s been a BUSY week over here… and somehow it’s only getting busier.

Monday was spent preparing SIX heartworm positive dogs to begin treatment.
That meant coordinating transport, picking everyone up from their foster homes, organizing medications, and getting all 6 dogs settled safely into our boarding house before injections began.

Tuesday officially kicked off heartworm treatment day — all 6 dogs received their first injection.

For those who may not know, heartworm disease is caused by parasites that live inside a dog’s heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Mosquitoes spread microscopic larvae through bites, and over time those worms grow into long adult worms that can severely damage the heart and lungs.

Heartworm treatment is intense — but lifesaving.

The injections these dogs receive are designed to kill the adult worms living inside their bodies. Once the worms begin to die, the dog’s body has to slowly break them down and absorb them safely. That’s where things can become dangerous.

Today everyone received their SECOND injection and are now headed back to their foster homes to begin the next month of strict recovery and rest.

And when we say strict rest… we mean STRICT. 😅

One of the most important parts of heartworm treatment is keeping dogs calm and sedated with limited activity. No zoomies. No roughhousing. No sprinting across the yard because they saw a squirrel commit crimes from 200 feet away.

When heartworms die, pieces of those worms can travel through the bloodstream into the lungs. If a dog becomes too active and their heart rate or blood pressure increases, it raises the risk of complications like inflammation, breathing issues, or even dangerous pulmonary embolisms.

So while everyone thinks the “hard part” is the injections — the recovery period afterward is honestly just as important.
So please keep your dogs on their monthly prevention..
Heartworm disease is completely preventable

For the next month these dogs will be on:
🐾 Sedation medications
🐾 Steroids to reduce inflammation
🐾 Strict exercise restriction
🐾 Lots of monitoring, patience, and crate rest

It has been an exhausting few days emotionally, physically, and financially.

Between:
💉 $1,800 in heartworm injections
💊 Sedation medications & steroids for SIX dogs
⛽ Endless transport runs
🐶 Boarding coordination
✂️ FIVE dogs being spayed/neutered Thursday
✂️ TWO more on Friday…

…we are FEELING it.

We’re incredibly blessed to have Toodles — our rescue transport van — because without it this week honestly wouldn’t have been possible. But goodness gracious has she been putting in overtime.

Right now we could really use help with:
Gas funds
Medical costs
Surgery expenses
General rescue care

Donations have been LOW.
Adoptions have been slow.
And truthfully, we’re struggling financially a bit right now.

But despite how heavy and overwhelming weeks like this can feel — THIS is why we keep going.

Six dogs are getting a second chance at healthy lives.

That matters.

We may be a small rescue, but we are trying our absolute hardest to make a big and lasting impact for animals who otherwise wouldn’t have one.

We are a tax-deductible rescue, and every single donation — no matter the size — truly helps us continue this work.

If you can’t donate:
❤️ Sharing this post
❤️ Commenting
❤️ Liking
❤️ Talking about our rescue

…all helps more than people realize.

Thank you for continuing to support us, our fosters, and these animals. We genuinely could not do this without our village.

We’re FINALLY getting somewhere with Sequoia’s paw 😩👏
For the last month, my entire personality has basically been:
“Please stop licking your foot.”

For anyone wondering — paw wounds on giant breed dogs are an absolute NIGHTMARE to heal.
Not because the treatments don’t work…
But because dogs insist on participating in their own medical sabotage.

Sequoia came to us with a wound she had already been battling with since NOVEMBER, so I knew this wasn’t going to be a quick fix. But sweet mother of God, this dog has tested every ounce of patience and creativity I possess 😂

we have battled:
• licking
• chewing
• finding shoes that fit Sasquatch feet
• wraps staying on
• keeping the wound clean
• protecting it from literally existing

She wears a cone when kenneled (which honestly isn’t often), but if you’ve never watched a 140 pound dog navigate life wearing a giant cone… imagine a drunk moose carrying a satellite dish through your home.
And despite someone ALWAYS being home with her, the smallest things kept reopening and irritating the wound:
• walking outside
• laying on her bed
• laying on the floor
• breathing incorrectly….probably

We tried manuka honey and sugar wraps — which ARE genuinely phenomenal for wound healing.

Unfortunately…
Sequoia decided they were also phenomenal for snacking!🙃

Nothing humbles you faster than realizing your expensive medical dressing is basically a charcuterie board.

So after doing a ton of research, we decided to try Blue Kote after my sister , who works heavily with equine medicine — swore by it.

And listen…
Horse people are either completely insane or absolute geniuses.
Sometimes both.

But she’s healed some WILD wounds with this stuff, so we gave it a shot.

And while the difference may not look dramatic to everyone else, it absolutely is to us:
• the tissue is finally granulating properly
• the redness is decreasing
• the irritation is calming down
• it’s finally looking healthier instead of angry 24/7

And the BEST part?
She stopped licking it.

Apparently Blue Kote tastes gross
Which, for once, works in our favor 😂

It also leaves a protective barrier over the wound, which has helped tremendously with normal dog activities like:
• walking outside
• laying down
• existing..

For the first time since getting her, it finally feels like we are HEALING instead of just taking 10 steps backwards

And honestly? I could cry happy tears.

Wound healing — especially chronic wounds on paws — is such a long process.
It requires consistency, cleanliness, preventing licking/chewing, protecting new tissue, and an unreasonable amount of patience.

And sometimes…
the best medical advancement is simply finding something your dog thinks tastes absolutely horrific!
But we’re blessed her paw is finally on its healing journey!
She’s one step closer to being ready to find a forever home

‼️URGENT - HAS A EUTHANASIA DATE‼️

We had SOOO many rescues, fosters, and experienced adopters reach out for Winnie… and because of that, Winnie found an absolutely phenomenal home. ❤️

Now we are begging for the same chance for Arthur.

We are already bracing ourselves for the worst.
Every rescue, every person who was willing to foster Winnie has said no..
No surpise there.
Winnie was a small cute poodle..
Arthur is “just” a Pitbull.. but we don’t see him as JUST that…

is only 10 months old… and he has spent almost his ENTIRE life sitting in a shelter kennel.

At just 10 months old, he has already been adopted and returned THREE separate times.

Imagine being a baby… and nobody ever staying.

Arthur has a euthanasia deadline for NEXT FRIDAY — the 29th.

He does not deserve for his story to end in a shelter.

Arthur desperately needs:
• A foster
• A committed adopter
• Or a reputable rescue placement ANYWHERE in the United States

We are willing to pull him if placement is secured, and we are willing to transport to an experienced 501c3 rescue.

Arthur also has megaesophagus — a condition where the esophagus doesn’t properly move food to the stomach. Dogs with megaesophagus require special feeding and management to help prevent regurgitation and aspiration. Sadly, the shelter environment is not allowing his condition to be properly managed or medically supported the way it should be.

And despite EVERYTHING this puppy has been through…

Arthur is still sweet.
Still loving.
Still social.
Still hopeful.

He is:
• Dog friendly
• Kid friendly
• Not yet cat tested
• Neutered
• Fully vaccinated
• Heartworm negative
• Otherwise healthy

This baby has spent his life being failed by humans, yet he still greets people with love.

He deserves a couch.
He deserves stability.
He deserves someone who won’t give up on him.

He deserves the same miracle Winnie got.

Please… if you can foster, adopt, rescue, network, or help in ANY way — comment or PM me immediately.

Time is running out for Arthur.
And we may be his last chance. 💔

I want to give a truly heartfelt, enormous thank you to everyone who held things down while I was away.

As rescue directors, we don’t get many true pauses. And when we do, we need them—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Rescue is beautiful, but it’s also heavy.
It takes pieces of you that most people never see, and it quietly tests friendships, relationships, and every bit of your capacity to keep going.

Even though Hampton is incredibly hands-on and supportive in the rescue work, we both still have to step back sometimes and remember we’re human first.
We needed this time—not just for rest, but for each other, and for everything we’ve been carrying.

We booked this trip at the beginning of the year, and I won’t lie—the week leading up to it was incredibly stressful.
We didn’t have enough fosters step up for everyone currently at our boarding house, and that weight was hard to walk away from.

But even in that, I am deeply thankful.

Thank you to my rescue partner Breahna Stirling and best friend—my steady in the chaos—who shows up every single day, no matter what life throws at her, and keeps going when most people would’ve already broken. I truly couldn’t do this without her.

Thank you to my pet sitter, who didn’t just care for my personal animals, but also stepped in and helped care for several of our rescue babies while we were away.
And thank you to my parents, for taking care of the bird babies!
That kind of support is not something I take lightly.

And thank you to everyone who respected my time away.
Who didn’t reach out for rescue emergencies, questions, or requests, and allowed me the space to breathe and be present.

It was a much-needed trip—quiet, grounding, and necessary.
Even the drive there and back ended up being time where I could catch up on rescue work😅.

I’m coming back into things with a full heart and a clearer mind.

Back to normal business on Monday 🩶
