Estelle was found hunched over in the streets of Paterson, frozen and starving. We don’t know how many nights she waited, emaciated and weak from starvation. We don’t know how many days of not eating it took for this regal gorgeous dog to whittle down to just 36 pounds. It is devastating to imagine this sweet, forgiving dog almost starving to death merely for lack of someone caring enough to pour kibble into her bowl.
Help us to be there for the next Estelle, still waiting for someone to notice them, still waiting for their bowl to be filled. By supporting RBARI’s Betty Lou fund, you can lift that sadness through action. Lift the weight of seeing what dogs like Estelle have endured. Lift the burden as you fill their bowl, offer a warm embrace and gently nudge them on their journey with your support.
Estelle's sweet demeanor despite horrific cruelty warms our hearts. She shares her story and kicks off our Emergency Medical Fund Drive to highlight that this type of rescue is only possible with your support of our Betty Lou Fund. You, our devoted supporters, can make it possible for dogs like Estelle to experience life without hunger and fear.
