Raider Found His Forever Home!

Raider adoption is complete! This sweet blue merle Catahoula Leopard Hound mix (ID: A1878348) has found his forever home after being at-risk at Riverside County Animal Control — San Jacinto Shelter.

Raider first came to our attention on February 14, when we began our efforts to help him find a loving home. At the time, Raider was at Riverside County Animal Control — San Jacinto Shelter, a neutered male weighing 48 lbs and just around 11 months old. Despite his young age, Raider was considered an at-risk animal, and we knew we had to act quickly to give him the chance he deserved.

Thanks to the dedication of shelter staff, volunteers, Raider’s journey has come to a happy ending. Special thank you to Brenna D’Estito Chapman on Instagram (@wop.undercover), who tirelessly networked and eventually found the perfect adopter for him! Yesterday, Raider was welcomed into his forever home, leaving the shelter behind and stepping into a life full of love, care, and adventure.

Stories like Raider’s remind us why our mission matters. Every dog deserves a chance to be safe, healthy, and loved. By supporting shelters, rescues, and at-risk animals, we can continue to save lives — one paw at a time.

If you want to help more animals like Raider, consider donating or spreading the word. Every contribution brings a dog closer to their forever family.

Help us make more happy endings happen! Follow us and stay updated on our rescue efforts.

Помогите нам оплатить счет за операцию, которая спасла Ариэль

Всем большой привет! Познакомьтесь с моей любимой, самой доброй и умной девочкой — Ариэль (Эся) . Мы взяли её из приюта, когда ей было всего 2 месяца, и с того самого дня она стала нашим настоящим лучиком счастья. Начало испытаний После 5 лет беззаботной жизни у Ариэль начались проблемы. Сначала — легкая хромота после пляжа. Я не придавала значения, думала, просто устала. Но хромота стала все больше и больше проявляться. Врачи поставили диагноз: проблема с голеностопом правой задней лапы. В конце 2023 года ей сделали  первую сложную операцию , которая обошлась нам в  5000$ . Год борьбы: две новые операции и долги Начались 8 недель тяжелой реабилитации. Ариэль — девочка очень привязанная, как маленький ребенок, не могла оставаться одна. А мы живём в кондо на втором этаже... Пришлось носить её на руках вверх и вниз. Все 36 килограммов! Моя спина до сих пор напоминает мне об этом. Нам нельзя было бегать, прыгать, гулять только 5-15мин.  Через полгода —  новая хромота, н...

Ayúdenos a pagar la factura de la cirugía que salvó a Ariel.

Perdón por mi español. ¡Hola a todos! Les presento a mi niña más querida, amable e inteligente: Ariel (Esa) . La adoptamos de un refugio cuando tenía solo 2 meses, y desde ese mismo día se convirtió en nuestro verdadero rayo de sol. El comienzo de las pruebas Después de 5 años de vida despreocupada, Ariel comenzó a tener problemas. Primero, una leve cojera después de la playa. No le di importancia, pensé que solo estaba cansada. Pero la cojera empezó a manifestarse más y más. Los veterinarios diagnosticaron: un problema en la articulación del corvejón (tobillo) de su pata trasera derecha. A finales de 2023, le realizaron  su primera cirugía compleja , que nos costó  $5000 . Un año de lucha: dos nuevas cirugías y deudas Comenzaron 8 semanas de rehabilitación intensa. Ariel es una perrita muy apegada, como una niña pequeña, no podía quedarse sola. Y vivimos en un apartamento en el segundo piso... Tuvimos que cargarla en brazos para subir y bajar. ¡Toda una masa de 36 kilogramos!...

Help Cover Ariel’s Surgery and Recovery Costs

  Hi everyone, Meet Ariel , our beloved rescue dog! We brought her home at just two months old, and from day one, she's been the gentlest, most loving soul—always sensing when we need comfort and brightening our toughest days. She's truly irreplaceable. Tragically, Ariel has faced serious health issues far too young. She's already had two major surgeries on her back legs ( right ankle repair and left TPLO with scope ). Through it all, she's stayed trusting and full of spirit. GoFundMe link On December 19, 2025 , she underwent another big procedure for bilateral elbow dysplasia: Diagnosis: Elbow Dysplasia – Bilateral Procedure: Bilateral Elbow Arthroscopy with Medial Coronoid Process Removal This was essential to ease her pain and protect her joints long-term. The total bill came to $7,140 (placed on a credit card), with invoice and post-op report attached for transparency. This hits hard on top of everything else: I'm still paying $393/month for her prior surgery ...
