One month.

That's all that separates these two photos.

When Baguette arrived at Forgotten Dogs Rescue, she was what we lovingly called 15 pounds of crusty perfection. Beneath her sweet personality was a dog whose skin was painfully inflamed, infected, and in desperate need of medical care.

Today, thanks to an incredible team of veterinarians, a devoted foster family, volunteer transporters, and supporters like you, Baguette is already looking and feeling so much better.

But her journey isn't over.

While we've made tremendous progress treating her skin, Baguette still has weakness and ataxia in her hind legs. Her next steps include a neurological evaluation, advanced diagnostics (including an MRI), and very likely surgery to help determine the cause and give her the best possible future.

Medical rescue takes a village.

Your donation helps provide:

🩺 Specialty veterinary care
🧴 Medicated baths, lotions, and prescription skin treatments
💊 Medications
🧠 Neurology consultations and MRI diagnostics
🏥 Surgery and rehabilitation, if needed

Every dollar helps turn heartbreaking "before" photos into hopeful "after" stories.

Our goal is to raise $3,500 to help cover Baguette's ongoing medical care. If her needs exceed this amount (which they will), we'll continue sharing updates. If we raise more than she ultimately requires, the remaining funds will help the next medical rescue dog who needs us.

Baguette doesn't know she's a little wobbly. She doesn't care that she arrived a little crusty. She wakes up every day excited to see her people, ready for snuggles, and convinced life is pretty wonderful.

We think she's absolutely right.

Thank you for helping us give Baguette the future she deserves. ❤️
