BB Girl’s 2025 Summary - The Year Her Life Changed Forever

It’s hard to believe that just three months ago, BB Girl was wandering the streets as a sick stray. Weak, frightened, and carrying a huge tumor on her neck that made every step painful, she had no one to turn to. Living under a lorry and growing weaker by the day, her body was slowly failing her.

But everything changed the day she was rescued. A regular feeder in the area noticed her deteriorating state and called for help. BB Girl was immediately warded at the vet, where doctors discovered that the large tumor on her neck was filled with pus. It had to be drained daily to ease her suffering, while she was also started on heart medication and antibiotics. Her prognosis was grim — her face was severely swollen, she had no appetite, was lethargic, and her red blood count was dropping. She was not expected to survive the next few days. Yet, volunteers rallied around her, cooking special meals for her and spending time by her side at the clinic. Surrounded by love, care, and medical support, BB Girl refused to give up — and day by day, she grew stronger.

After she was discharged, BB Girl continued weekly vet visits where the pus in her tumor was drained, and each time the swelling reduced a little more. The vets then began stem cell treatment to help shrink the mass further. Through it all, BB Girl remained sweet, gentle and accepting of the help from humans whom she had never known as a stray.

From those fragile first days, she has come so far. In foster care, she has found safety, comfort, and love. She enjoys her daily walks, yummy home-cooked meals and lots of cuddles. Today, BB Girl is no longer the sick stray she once was. She is brighter, stronger, and happier — wagging her tail, soaking up affection, and discovering what it means to feel safe.
Soon, we will need to decide whether surgery is the best option to remove her tumor mass, or if she can continue as she is.

Her journey is far from over, but the transformation she has made in just three months is nothing short of remarkable. And it’s all thanks to your support and contributions — you gave BB Girl the chance to fight, and she has seized it with all her heart.

BB Girl’s story. 

2025: The Year of Our Brave Warrior, Mr. White

As we close the chapter on 2025, we find ourselves reflecting on the dog who has taught us more about resilience, quiet strength, and grace than any other. Our dear Mr. White.
If you’ve followed Mr. White’s journey since he was first found, lost and neglected in early 2024, you know his path hasn’t been easy. But 2025 was a year of immense challenges that truly tested his spirit.

The Weight of the Year
This year, Mr. White’s health has been a delicate balancing act. He has battled two types of cancer—oil gland cancer and most likely oral cancer, with painful ulcers stretching from his throat to his mouth. His skin has remained a constant struggle, with sores and blisters on his legs that require frequent vet visits and constant tweaking of his steroid dosages.
Perhaps the hardest part to watch is his battle with dementia. We’ve spent many nights with him as he walks into the wee hours of the morning, driven by a restless mind until his legs give way from pure exhaustion.


The Moments of Joy
But even in the shadows of illness, there were beautiful rays of light. Despite everything, Mr. White’s spirit hasn’t broken.  He still greets every meal with pure enthusiasm—a small but mighty sign that he isn't giving up.  He enjoys his twice-weekly massages, which soothe his tired, aching body.  He has found companionship in his twice-weekly outings with his fellow rescue friends.  And the highlight of his year? His very first trip to the beach! To see this sweet, long-suffering soul feel the sand under his paws and the sea breeze on his face for the first time in his life... there wasn't a dry eye among our volunteers.


A Community of Hope
Mr. White is a "long-suffering" dog, but he is also a deeply loved one. He doesn’t walk this path alone. Every vet visit, every specialized treatment, and every comfort provided to him is only possible because of YOU. Keeping a dog with such complex needs "afloat" is a massive undertaking, both emotionally and financially.
Thank you for standing by Mr. White. He may be fragile, and his body may be failing him, but his heart remains full of the love you’ve helped us give him. Here’s to continuing to provide him with the dignity, comfort, and peace he deserves.
