Suzuki’s story is one no animal should ever have to live through. After many months of neglect, his owners elected to drop him at the shelter and wanted nothing to do with his medical fees. He was in visible pain — struggling to walk and use the bathroom comfortably, battling severe skin irritation, and dealing with significant injuries that had clearly gone untreated for far too long.

Even with all of that, he greeted us with sweet gentle eyes and a quiet hope that someone would finally help him. Suzuki is now safe with us, but his medical journey is just beginning. Suzuki is fighting a medical battle we still don’t fully understand — and time matters.

When we rushed him to the veterinarian for his first round of testing, the bill for just a blood panel and three X‑rays was already over $700. That amount didn’t even begin treatment. It only gave us the first glimpse into what might be going on inside his body.

The veterinarian has already warned us that deeper, more invasive testing may be necessary, including biopsies and additional diagnostics, to uncover the root cause of his pain and declining health.

And the truth is hard:

Suzuki’s medical care will reach into the thousands.

Right now, we are trying to raise $6,000–$8,000 just to cover the immediate next phase of testing and treatment. That number may rise depending on what the specialists find.

At this moment, we have only raised enough to cover his first $700 bill, and Suzuki hasn’t even begun treatment yet.

He needs us — and we need you.

These are not optional treatments — they are essential for Suzuki to live without constant discomfort.

As a small nonprofit rescue, we rely entirely on donations to provide this level of care. Every donation, no matter the size directly funds the tests and care that could give Suzuki a real chance at healing. Your support today determines how quickly we can move forward with the diagnostics he urgently needs.

With your support, Suzuki can be given the chance to finally experience comfort, safety, and love.

Despite everything he’s endured, Suzuki is gentle, trusting, and so ready to heal. We see the dog he can become — healthy, happy, and finally free from pain — but we can’t get him there alone.

Please consider donating to Suzuki’s medical fund. Suzuki deserves his second chance.

Your compassion today becomes his tomorrow.

Thank you for helping us fight for him.

Thank you for trusting and believing in second chances.
