Here is what $200 could do: One dog. One intervention. A lifetime change.


When we first met Destiny (now Zara), she was a young, free-roaming puppy who had already been through more than any dog should. She had given birth to a litter of puppies that didn’t survive — and she was left to carry the physical toll on her own.

She was underweight, unspayed, and suffering from heartworm, tick fever, and anaplasma. These are all conditions that are common where access to veterinary care is limited, yet entirely treatable and largely preventable.

With a single, timely intervention, everything began to change. Destiny was spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, tested, and started on treatment for the illnesses that had been holding her back.

The impact was immediate.

A dog who once kept her distance now seeks out human connection. She plays with other dogs, runs freely along the beach, and entertains herself fishing and playing with coconuts.

She’s gaining weight. She’s gaining confidence. And for the first time, her body has the chance to truly heal.
