Izzy's (Twizzler) story isn't over- she was missing 24 days and fighting to survive. Now she needs your help to heal.

After losing her family due to deportation, Twizzler ended up at the shelter. She was adopted, but she never arrived to her new home. She vanished into a maze of woods, and busy streets. No home base. No familiar smells. Just fear. For 24 days, she ran. Through storms, extreme heat, hunger, predators, and other dangers.

We spent 24 straight days trying to safely secure her.

Our team spent over $2,000 on recovery efforts: extra trail cameras, fresh food stations, thermal drone searches, hundreds of flyers, traveling to and from the site, and even a custom-built Missy trap engineered to match Izzy'’s movement patterns. After over 3 weeks, these efforts paid off and Izzy is safe in our rescue.

At the vet, we learned Izzy has multiple fractures in her pelvis likely from being hit by cars. ❤️‍🩹 And now her fight for survival becomes a fight for recovery as she deals with immense pain.

Izzy needs a total hip replacement, which offers her the best long-term outcome as a ~12 month old dog and costs up to $15,000 including the recovery needs like follow ups and physical therapy.

We’ve raised about $500 so far and spent $1,000+ on immediate care and medical assessments. We are making our goal $10,000 as we continue to get quotes and options from trusted medical professionals.

Izzy fought for her life, now she’s fighting for a long and healthy future. Will you help? 💔
