🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Rocky Road Rescue! 🍂🧡

This Thanksgiving, we're feeling extra grateful for the incredible community that makes everything we do possible.

Rescue is never a one-person job. It's a whole community coming together for dogs who need a second chance, and we are so thankful for every single person who is part of our journey.

🧡 To our volunteers, who give their time, energy, and hearts to help our rescue run.

🏡 To our amazing fosters, who open their homes and hearts to dogs in need, providing safety, patience, comfort, and love while they wait for their forever families.

🚗 To our transport drivers, who help get our dogs where they need to go, whether it's to a foster home, a vet appointment, or the next step in their journey.

🎉 To everyone who attends our events, participates in fundraisers, and shows up to support our mission.

💛 To our donors and supporters, who help cover medical care, supplies, food, and all the unexpected costs that come with rescue.

📲 To everyone who likes, comments on, and shares our social media posts. You never know when your share will be the one that helps a dog find their person!

🐶 And, of course, to our dogs. The ones who remind us why we do this, who teach us about resilience, trust, and unconditional love, and who make every challenging day worth it.

We are grateful for every wagging tail, every little milestone, every breakthrough, and every happy ending. And for the dogs still waiting, we're grateful for the chance to keep fighting for them.

Most of all, we're thankful for the people who stand beside us, believe in our mission, and help us give dogs the futures they deserve. Whether you've been with us for years or just joined our community, you are part of the Rocky Road Rescue family. ♥️

Thank you for being part of their journey. We truly couldn't do this without you!!!

🎁 Help us make our Holiday Online Auction Fundraiser a success!

We’re looking for individuals and businesses who would like to donate and help support the dogs in Rocky Road Rescue’s care. 🐾

With limited storage space, gift cards and experiences are especially helpful! Think restaurant outings, spa services, distillery tours, event tickets, classes, or other memorable experiences...there are so many ways to contribute!

Have another donation idea? We’d love to hear from you! Our events team can chat with you about what might work for this auction.

💌 Please reach out with any possible donations to [email protected] by October 16th, and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

Rocky Road Rescue is entirely volunteer-run, and all funds raised will go directly toward caring for our rescue dogs, including medical expenses such as Arlo’s $15,000 surgery bill.

Every donation helps us provide the care these dogs need and the chance to enjoy the lives ahead of them. Thank you for being part of that! ❤️

🐾 Name: Leo
🎂 Age: 9 years old
⚡ Energy: Medium
🐶 Dogs: Yes
🐱 Cats: Maybe
👧 Kids: No
🩺 Medical: Neutered; Dental work to be covered by the rescue

Hi, I’m Leo!

I’m a 9-year-old guy with plenty of energy and a real love for getting outside. I’m mostly an independent fellow, but every now and then my playful side comes out and I’ll surprise you with just how much fun I can have.

Walks are definitely one of my favourite things. I enjoy getting out and exploring, so I’m looking for someone who will make regular walks and outdoor adventures part of our routine.

I’m a pretty independent guy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my people. I’ll happily walk up to you for some attention, and I enjoy being part of your day. I’m looking for someone who appreciates an older dog with his own personality and who will give me plenty of opportunities to get outside.

At home, I snooze quietly in the crate overnight and when my fosters are gone after settling in from the initial transition. Out of the crate I am pretty chill, other than sometimes finding a toy to play with. I’m not a fan of other dogs getting in my personal space.

I’m good on leash and currently walk with a harness, making getting out for my favourite walks nice and straightforward.

I’m looking for an outdoorsy person who enjoys walking and spending time outside. A home with a backyard would be ideal, and I’d love someone who understands that even though I’m 9, I still have plenty of energy and want to enjoy life.

I might seem quite an independent fellow but I’m ready to be your walking buddy, backyard companion and occasional goofy playmate. ❤️

Hi! I’m Wilbur

🐾 Name: Wilbur
🎂 Age: 12 years old
⚡ Energy: Low-Medium
🐶 Dogs: Yes with slow introductions
🐱 Cats: No
👧 Kids: Untested
🩺 Medical: Heart disease high blood pressure and Chronic hind limb issues managed with medication, and early stage kidney disease. Dental surgery to be arranged and paid for by the rescue.

Hi, I’m Wilbur! I’m a laid-back 12-year-old gentleman with a pretty nonchalant personality. I'm not the type to demand cuddles or climb into your lap, but I absolutely love attention when it comes my way. Face caresses and massages? Yes, please, I’ll happily soak those up!

I have a few funny little quirks. I love playing fetch, rolling onto my back and wiggling around, and occasionally trying to catch my own tail. When I get excited, I make an unusual noise which sounds like humans saying “OW!” 😂

I’m a low-to-medium energy guy, and I enjoy getting outside several times a day. When we go for walks, I like to take my time and explore all the sights, sounds, and sniffs the world has to offer. I'm looking for someone patient who understands the value of stopping to smell the roses (and other things). I also love playing games indoors to keep my brain healthy and happy.

Sometimes when I see other dogs on my walks, I can get a bit fixated on them if I'm allowed to stop. My brain goes 'Oh there's a dog. Interesting. Wait, why is he here? Why is he looking at me? Should I yell at him?! ' . I just need to keep the forward momentum going so my brain doesn't go down a rabbit hole. I do like meeting some dogs, especially when introductions are slow and controlled.

I’m not a big fan of my crate, but I'm willing to keep trying, as long as someone can help me see it as a comfy safe place. In the meantime, I’m just happy to spend my golden years close to my people.
