TAP Dogs Needing Special Assistance

<strong>Many TAP rescues have severe medical issues and need medical care long before their fostering and adoption.</strong> The images are difficult to look at. But our Care Team and Vetting Team volunteers provide medical treatments, special diets, and emotional comfort to numerous dogs that stay at our Headquarters Facility while they heal. These dogs need extraordinary care, and unfortunately that comes with larger costs to us for their care. Below are some of the dogs that we are currently caring for that we need help in footing their cost of care. You can click on them and read their stories. And please consider a monthly donation to assist us in providing them truly lifesaving care.
<h3>Urgent Medical Dogs Needing Sponsorship</h3>

We currently have no animals with these extraordinary needs.

With our rescue focusing on dogs that wouldn’t have a chance elsewhere, your sponsorship will help us give ‘your’ sponsored dog not just the basic vetting, spay & neuter, and daily care that he/she needs, but also extended care for those with special medical challenges or special life needs. By sponsoring a dog for even just a small monthly amount, you are giving them the hope they need and the realization that there is good in a world that has wronged them. We already have so many success stories that have been made possible by our sponsors, who are the reason we can continue to save lives. You can see our many transformations on Instagram and Facebook.

You can donate or fundraise for a one-time sponsorship of a specific dog or cat.
