Why Dogs Like Sugar and Fisher Deserve a Chance

At Lil BUB’s Big FUND, we support special needs animals like Sugar and Fisher—two incredible dogs whose lives are changing because someone said yes when others might have said too hard.

Fisher is being treated for Chagas Disease, a parasitic infection that has led to a serious heart condition and GI complications.

Sugar came to us with severe skin infections caused by long-term neglect. Both dogs require ongoing medications, prescription diets, and specialist care.

In total, their care over the past several months has cost nearly $4,000—an amount that would be a non-starter for many rescues. Yet dogs like Sugar and Fisher are not rare:

  • 1 in 5 pets will face a chronic illness or disability in their lifetime.
  • Special needs pets are 5 times more likely to be overlooked in shelters.
  • Veterinary costs for complex cases are rising, leaving more animals without access to care.

When we show up for pets with extra needs, we change more than just one life—we expand what’s possible in animal welfare. We shift the standard from basic survival to complete, individualized care.

Your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply reading this—helps move that standard forward. Thank you for being part of a growing community that believes every pet deserves that chance.

With endless gratitude always,
Stacy and the Lil BUB Family
