In a devastating turn of events, Red String Rescue—a nonprofit known for its unwavering commitment to saving and rehabilitating vulnerable animals—is facing one of its most harrowing nights. Stella, a cherished rescue dog and longtime member of the RSR family, was found seizing on the floor of her room during routine nighttime tuck-ins. The team acted swiftly, rushing her to an emergency veterinary hospital where specialists are now fighting to stabilize her condition.
Initial diagnostics revealed a cascade of medical crises: Stella is diabetic, her bloodwork showed severe imbalances, and her body temperature had spiked to a dangerous 104°F. Within hours, her condition deteriorated further, and she is now in a coma-like state. The next few hours are critical—veterinarians are working around the clock, and her caregivers are holding onto hope for a miracle.
“This is one of the hardest nights we’ve ever faced,” said a spokesperson for Red String Rescue. “We give everything we’ve got to the pups every day without fail, but somehow it still never seems like it’s enough. Stella is family. We’re doing everything possible—and even trying to do the impossible—to give her a chance.”
The financial burden of Stella’s emergency care is staggering. A full recovery, if possible, will require intensive hospitalization, specialist monitoring, and lifelong insulin therapy. The estimated cost is $7,000. Red String Rescue has already paid nearly $1,700 to cover overnight care, but that amount is only expected to last until morning—assuming no further complications arise.
The organization is now turning to its community for help. Known for its transparency and heartfelt advocacy, Red String Rescue is asking for donations to continue Stella’s care and give her a fighting chance. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a lifeline.
