Aura’s story is one that breaks your heart. Aura was failed in ways no living being ever should be. She was one of many dogs exploited for greed by a person who never protected her, never cherished her, and never gave her the life she deserved. Aura was first found in a shed in Modesto, CA by realtors alone, starving, dehydrated, and suffering. She had no food, no water, and had been left to waste away in silence. The trauma she endured was so severe that her little body bears permanent scars. She lost her paws. After being found, Aura entered a shelter we knew well. At the time, we had no space. Later, Aura ended up at April’s house of horrors a place where dogs were used for greed and not given the care, safety, or compassion they deserved. While living there, Aura somehow suffered a devastating tail injury, essentially cut in half. She also has ground-down teeth, a visible crate mark on her face, and a body that tells a story of prolonged suffering. Aura truly knows. But perhaps the worst wounds are the ones we cannot see. The trauma she witnessed. The cries she heard. The fear she lived in. No dog should ever experience that. This case is part of the Chandler 55 situation. When we learned Aura had no rescue backing, we could not turn away. She mattered. Her life mattered. So we stepped in. Because Aura deserves more than a past defined by cruelty. She deserves a future filled with warmth, safety, gentle hands, and love. Today, we are overwhelmed with gratitude to share that Aura is SAFE and officially being adopted by her foster mom the very person who has walked beside her healing journey, loved her through her hardest days, and showed her what family truly means. To the incredible women who fought for Aura, coordinated her rescue, transported her, advocated for her, and never gave up thank you. Without you, this miracle would not exist. To her foster mom thank you for saying yes when it mattered most. Thank you for becoming her forever. Aura, sweet girl… your suffering did not define you. Your strength did. Your love did. And now your forever begins. We promise to continue advocating for dogs like Aura. Congrats Aura who a wishlist on our IG linktree!!!

Today was possible because people refused to stay silent. We thank the brave woman who stepped forward and the many women and rescue organizations who spoke up, documented the truth, and fought to protect these animals. Because of their courage, April McLaughlin was sentenced, banned from owning animals, and held accountable for the suffering of 55 dogs rescued from horrific conditions. Justice doesn’t happen without people willing to stand up. Voices matter ..they save lives. One of those lives is Aura. Aura is a special girl with no hind paws and partial legs who moves surprisingly fast despite her challenges. She was first found in Modesto, CA, abandoned in a shed with no food or water, then “rescued” and taken to the Arizona house of horrors, where she was neglected alongside 54+ other dogs. Her suffering left lasting marks: crate marks embedded in her face, severely ground down teeth, and she had chewed off her own tail clear signs of prolonged trauma. Afterward, Aura went to the Arizona Humane Society, waiting again with no rescue backing, until she joined our pack. We also took in Roo who also had no rescue and was part of the 13 April McLaughlin tried to appeal to get back. Aura’s foster mom said yes, and it has been the best thing for Aura. She loves her foster family deeply, is affectionate on her terms, and has slowly learned to trust again. She’s been spayed, had dental work, and evaluated at UC Davis, where it was noted she has very little metatarsal structure left on her left leg. Prosthetic legs were donated , and she has a large stroller for outings that was also donated to her. Aura may be around 7 years old or younger, but neglect shows on her body. She deserves a home where she can just be Aura. She’s dog-friendly but can be picky and prefers not to share attention. She loves her warm bed, soft grass to potty, and food. She would do best in a carpeted home and may need booties or wraps for harder surfaces. Aura has been through enough. Now she deserves a loving family in Salinas, CA, who will respect her boundaries and give her the safety she’s never had.

Congratulations, Darla! We’re so excited to share that Darla has been adopted and so has her brother, Alfalfa! Both came to us from San Leandro after being found neglected and physically harmed in a backyard. We’re incredibly grateful to the person who stepped up and saved them. They joined our pack through a wonderful foster, then moved into long term foster homes that gave them the time, love, and patience they needed to open up and truly flourish. Those homes helped us learn who they are and helped them heal. We’re beyond happy that Darla and Alfalfa have now found their forever families, where they’ll be loved and cared for always. Thank you to everyone who shared them and supported them along the way. We didn’t expect their adoption to take so long likely due to the holiday season but it was worth the wait. Welcome to your forever pack, Darla. Endless thanks to our amazing foster families and furever families!

Another happy beginning this holiday season. Merry Christmas Eve and happy holidays to everyone and their fur and non-fur family members. We are overjoyed to share that Alfalfa has officially been adopted. Alfalfa came to us after a kind hearted person noticed that he and his sister were being neglected and left behind in a yard. Despite such a rough start, Alfalfa remained a joyful, easygoing boy who never let his past dim his spirit. Today, he begins a new chapter with a family who will love and cherish him the way he always deserved. His sister Darla is still waiting for her forever home, and we remain hopeful that her perfect family will find her soon. One dog at a time, we continue our mission to give every deserving animal the chance at a safe, loving home. This Christmas, we are incredibly grateful to every family who chose adoption, and to every foster who opened their heart and home to help relieve the overwhelming shelter system. Your kindness saves lives. Welcome to your forever pack, Alfalfa. And a heartfelt thank you to his amazing foster for stepping in, loving him, and making this happy ending possible.

✨ Aura Update! ✨ Sweet Aura is doing well on her new bed and recently had a vet visit to update her vaccines! Since baths are difficult for her, we’re planning to hire a mobile groomer a much more comfortable option. Aura doesn’t tolerate having her nails touched due to past trauma, so gentle, in home care is a must. If you’d like to help with the cost of her mobile grooming (which includes a bath and nail trim), please consider donating through the links below. Every bit helps! Aura is such a little fighter, and we love seeing her happy tail wags. 🥹💛 About Aura: Aura was found abandoned in a shed in Modesto, CA, and later suffered terrible abuse in a neglect case involving 50+ dogs in Arizona. Despite being born without hind legs, she gets around quickly and enjoys stroller rides over using her wheelchair or prosthetics. Now about 7 years old, Aura lives happily in a loving foster home where she’s slowly learned to trust again. She’s sweet, affectionate on her terms, and dog-friendly (though she prefers not to share attention). Aura’s ideal home would have carpet (concrete hurts her nubs), a grassy area for potty breaks, and a patient family who lets her be herself. She deserves peace, love, and comfort after all she’s been through. 💛 Interested in adopting? Apply through our adoption form. 🙏 Want to donate toward her grooming? Please use our PayPal , website , Zelle or Venmo!

Louie found his forever home so quickly, and we’re absolutely overjoyed! It feels like this entire rescue and adoption process flew by, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out. Louie came to us just a few weeks ago, thanks to a wonderful member of the Pack Lyfe family who reached out for help. A heartbroken soul had been neglected and left outside. From Nevada to a temporary foster home in Modesto, Louie’s journey began! A huge thank you to @christine_chandarlis for stepping up and coordinating help so swiftly. When Louie arrived, he had to get neutered, vaccinated , chipped and dual cherry eye surgeries. At first, he was a little shy, but with time, he began to open up and show his sweet personality. His amazing foster mom went from having no dogs to becoming a temporary foster, then a long-term foster—and now, a forever family! What started as small steps led to a big leap—adoption! We’re so grateful to everyone who played a part in Louie’s rescue. This beautiful story wouldn’t have been possible without all of you. Each adoption not only brings joy but also helps create room and resources for other dogs in need. Thank you to Louie’s new family for giving him the love and home he deserves. Welcome to your forever pack, Louie! You’ve found your place, and we couldn’t be happier for you! 💖

Who embers Louie from not too long ago? Louie was unwanted by his owners and living outside. Luckily someone was able to pick him up and bring him closer. Although, we had no foster! So we put out a plea and one of our foster friends reached out to her mom to help! Louie has been with her mom and doing well. Coming out of his shell and now going to neuter tomorrow Thursday. He will be getting dual cherry eye removal and neuter. We would need help with funds for this. It was not something we wanted to melt to do since his eyes are urgent. Poor guy had no care and now he gets to feel loved. He is being fostered in Modesto ca, to donate please please use our links on the website or correct Venmo with is @ packlyferescueinc Thank you!!

Aura said TGIF! Aura and Destiny Recently went for vaccine updates and doing very well. Aura still hasn’t found a furever home yet! If anyone can help donate towards her food, meds and vaccines we would be very grateful! Adopt Aura!! Aura is a special girl with no hind legs. She will need a special person who could give her what she needs. Aura can get around pretty fast despite not having back legs. She was first found in Modesto Ca. Where somebody had left her in a shed with no food or water. She then was so-called rescued and taken to the house of horrors in Arizona. Where she was also neglected and tortured amongst 54 or more other dogs. She then went to Arizona Humane Society where she awaited rescue again. She had no rescue backing and that is where she joined our pack. Her amazing foster mom had said yes to fostering and that was the best thing that has happened to Aura! Aura loves to be with her and then foster family. She is very affectionate when she wants to be but it took her a while to gain trust. She was spayed and also had some dental work done. The ortho surgeon took a look at her back legs at UC DAVIS. She barely has any metatarsals left on the left leg. She had prosthetics made thanks to @hainrescuefund She does not like to sit in her wheelchair but foster mom was donated a very big Stroller. Where Aura likes to go for a stroll in. Aura might be around six years old or younger but because of the neglect it shows on her body. Aura is looking for a family that could let her be her. She has been through enough and we don’t want to force her to do anything. She takes time to trust but is very sweet. She is dog friendly but sometimes is picky. She gets along with most dogs but doesn’t like to share her attention that you are giving her but who would blame her. She likes her warm big bed and likes to eat. Aura would do best with a house with carpet where she can get around. Concrete does hurt her nubs and she would need booties or a wrap. Aura also likes to go potty on the grass where it’s soft for her to try and stand to go. She is potty trained but because of her limbs she sometimes can go so far and where it’s more comfortable. Apply to adopt!

🎉🐾 Happy New Year from PackLyfe Rescue! 🐾🎉 As we close out 2024, we’re filled with gratitude and reflection on all the incredible lives we’ve touched since 2021. 622 dogs, 2 horses , 2 goats, 4 guinea pigs, over 100 cats have been given a second chance, rescued from shelters just minutes before euthanasia, or pulled from situations of neglect and abuse. Each one of these dogs has a story—a journey from fear and uncertainty to safety, healing, and love. And none of this would be possible without you. This year has been full of triumphs, but also heartache. We’ve lost a few of our beloved furry friends, some due to age and physical issues. While they’re no longer with us, they’ll always be remembered for the joy and love they brought into our lives. Through it all, we’ve learned that rescue isn’t just about saving lives—it’s about transforming them. Each adoption, each wagging tail, each joyful bark is a victory. And we couldn’t be prouder of everything we’ve accomplished together. Of course none of this could be possible without the tireless help of our volunteers, fosters, transporters, donors, and supporters. As we enter 2025, we’re more committed than ever to continuing this important work. There are so many more dogs out there who need us, and with your support, we’ll keep rescuing, healing, and finding them forever homes. So make sure to continue to like, comment, share and watch as we transform lives this coming new year. Thank you for being a part of our Pack Here’s to the 622 lives saved —and to the many more we’ll help in the year ahead. 🐾 Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and love-filled New Year! #PackLyfeRescue #622LivesSaved #SecondChances #RescueDogs #ForeverHomes #NeverForgotten #NewYearNewBeginnings

West Coast Makers was a success! We had sooo much fun meeting everyone! Thank you for letting us spread rescue awareness to our Bay Area Families! Every event that we do helps people learn about what rescues stand for. There are many people who still are unaware of the reason why rescues exist. We love meeting like-minded people, explaining what rescues do, listening to stories about past dogs and having a good time! The more awareness the less abandoned dogs! The More awareness the less breeders! The more awareness and where we save lives! Thank you again and can’t wait to see you guys at the next pop up!

Wow what a new beautiful life Aura is living now. Aura’s foster parents have gone above and beyond to accomodate her. Not only did they accept Aura in hours before release from th AZ humane society but they have changed her life. We cant thank them enough. As a rescue we are just background noise as the fosters are the stars. We couldnt have saved these many dogs without the help of foster homes. We just are so thankful seeing these videos. We have now scheduled Aura for her dental work. In the horrible care of Aprils hands Aura has grinded down her teeth. We hope the vet can clean and salvage what they can. Dental work is scheduled nov 15. We would appreciate donations to help get this going and appreciate everyone who has donated. We are still waiting on the quote for her prosthetics or potential movable wheels. Aura is not a fan of her wheel chair. We also appreciate everyone who Has offered wheelchairs for her. We did make an Amazon wish list. Which we will post below. Foster mom is doing amazing with her and letting her learn things on her own time. She’s not forcing her because aura has been through a lot. We have no idea the actual horrors that she has seen and heard in Aprils home. Again if anyone could donate through our paypal/venmo or website we are very thankful or anything from the Amazon wishlist ♥️🥹✨ PayPal ✅ https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3Q7983XJKNNLW Venmo ✅ https://account.venmo.com/u/PackLyfeRescue Debit/credit card ✅ website: https://www.packlyferescue.com Check ✅ Pack Lyfe Rescue Inc 249 W.
