He's on medical hold until he fully heals, and then he'll be ready to find his forever home (preferably one without tennis balls).
Huge thanks to 15/10 Foundation partner, Austin Humane located in Austin, TX for rescuing him!
OTTER
This is Otter. She was living on the streets with a luxating patella and arthritis in her hind knee, making it impossible to use her leg. Vets were concerned if it was left untreated, the arthritis would progress and cause chronic lifelong pain.
Thanks to your recent support of our 'tell your dog i said hi' merch, the 15/10 Foundation was able to cover the $5,400 surgery to repair her knee.

MAMA DUMPLING

CANINE INFLUENZA
These 9 dogs caught canine influenza when one pup, who was pulled from a shelter, brought it along and shared with their new FurKids family.
(We don't know who patient zero was, but they probably thought they were doing a nice thing because sharing is caring.)
Each dog needed supportive care, medication, and fluids to get better. Thanks to your recent support of our merch, the 15/10 Foundation was able to sponsor the $4,500 needed for their full recoveries.
Huge thanks to 15/10 Foundation partner, FurKids located in Atlanta, GA for rescuing them!

He's healthy and happy with a foster family, setting him up for a happily ever after with a future adopter. Huge thanks to 15/10 Foundation partner, Real Good Rescue, located in Los Angeles, CA for rescuing him!
GRETA
This is Greta. She was picked up as a heartworm-positive stray and was severely emaciated and covered with fleas and scratches.

Huge thanks to 15/10 Foundation partner, Wags and Walks, located in Nashville, Tennessee, for rescuing her!
RALPHIE
This is Ralphie. He arrived at the shelter as a stray the day after Christmas. He had a chip, but no one came to claim him.
Abandoned and neglected, the little guy was battling a severe upper respiratory infection that morphed into pneumonia. Antibiotics have helped turn him around, and once he's medically cleared, he'll get the rest of the care he desperately needs, including a dental.

MARCY
This is Marcy. She's an affectionate senior Maltese mix who was found on the streets of Brooklyn.

But despite it all, he's a sweet and happy meatball, and thanks to your recent support of our merch, we're partnering with the 15/10 Foundation to cover his medical care for life, estimated at $15,000.
P.S. Extra thanks to the 15/10 Foundation partner One Tail at a Time for rescuing this happy hound!
“Burger is the BEST! He is the kindest, happiest, gentlest giant who's truly never met a stranger - he loves everyone he meets, humans and dogs. His doctors and techs said he is the sweetest boy ever.“
LAI
This sweet senior gal has arthritis and Cushing's disease, which means her body overproduces cortisol, giving her a weakened immune system. She'll be on lifelong medication and receive regular bloodwork to monitor her condition. Throughout her diagnosis and care, Lai has proven to be the sweetest, most loving ball of sunshine.
Her human is a veteran with multiple health issues of his own, so One Tail at a Time is ensuring she gets the care she needs (and visits with dad!) until she and her person can be reunited full-time.
Thanks to your recent support of our merchandise, we're proud to be able to sponsor Lai's medical care for life, estimated at $7,000.

But thanks to your recent support of our merch, we're able to cover Fletcher's deworming treatments, echocardiogram, and future cardiology care, to the tune of $12,000.
Huge thanks to the 15/10 Foundation partners at the Austin Humane Society in Austin, Texas for rescuing him!
