This emaciated poodle mix was found living in squalor at LA County property that is under investigation. Over 300 animals were rescued from the property and all need medical care.

She has been neglected for a long time and arrived malnourished, covered in her own filth with matted fur and open sores.

She was rushed to a vet clinic where they determined her sores are from a mammary mass that have been untreated. She is also severely underweight and has arthritis, likely from limited movement. 

But that's not all. She also has severe dental disease and gingivitis. Her road to recovery will be long and expensive. She needs your support to heal.

James and his blind brother, William, were found abandoned on the street when they were just four weeks old. James was born with one blind eye that started to cause him discomfort. Over time, that eye became increasingly painful and irritated. James is the seeing-eye cat for his brother, making his condition even more urgent to treat.
