Ever wondered why you sometimes miss our posts, even though you follow Pawpers?

One day your feed is full of our gorgeous rescue dogs, and the next… nothing! Where have all the waggy tails gone?! 🐕😂

Well, Facebook has announced a new feature that might help!

📱 It’s called ‘Your Algorithm’, and it gives you more say in what appears in your Facebook Feed.

As the feature rolls out, look for Your Algorithm in the three-dot (•••) menu on Facebook Reels. If it’s available, you can tell Facebook you’d like to see more content about things like:

🐶 Rescue dogs and adoption
🐾 Animal welfare and rescue
🏡 Dog rehoming and fostering
💙 Supporting animal rescues

Why are we telling you this?

Because every post we share has a purpose.

Sometimes we’re hoping to find a forever home. Sometimes we’re raising money for food or urgent veterinary care. And sometimes we’re simply sharing a little happiness from the dogs you’ve helped rescue. ❤️

We’re a small team of volunteers, and Facebook helps us reach people we could never reach on our own.

The more people who see our dogs, the more chances they have of finding the love and support they deserve.

It won’t guarantee you’ll see every Pawpers post, but it could help Facebook understand that rescue dogs are something you love! 🧡

And of course, your likes, comments and shares still mean the world to us.

NOW, A QUESTION FOR OUR PAWPERS FAMILY… 👇

🐾 If Facebook really understood how much you love dogs, what would your news feed look like? 😂
🐶 100% rescue dogs. No humans necessary.
🥹 Happy endings, happy tears and lots of tissues.
🛋️ All the dogs looking for homes (my sofa has room... maybe!).
🐕 Dogs, dogs and more dogs. Did I mention dogs?

Tell us below! 💙🧡

🤎 SHE MADE SURE HER BABIES HAD A FUTURE. NOW, WHO WILL GIVE HER ONE? 🐾

Three little puppies. Three happy endings.

And one very special mum still waiting for hers. 💔

Meet Amber. 🤎

Near an airport in North Macedonia, while people hurried past on their way to somewhere else, Amber was trying to keep her three tiny puppies alive.

There was no warm bed. No guarantee of another meal. No one to tell her everything would be okay.

Just a devoted mum doing everything she could for her babies.

Thankfully, Amber and her puppies were brought into rescue, where they could finally be safe.

Her puppies grew, flourished and found their forever families. ❤️

But somehow, their mum was left behind.

And she’s still waiting.

The beautiful girl you see in these photographs is Amber today. She’s around five years old, intelligent, loyal and ready to discover what it feels like to be someone’s much-loved companion.

🐾 Amber at a glance:
🤎 Female, approximately 5 years old
🐕 Medium–large, Shepherd-sized
👧 Suitable for families with children aged 4+
🏡 Needs to be the only dog
🐱 Not suitable for homes with cats
❤️ Intelligent, loyal and thoughtful

Amber has spent much of her life having to look out for herself. She’s learned to be cautious, particularly around other dogs, so we’re looking for a home where she can be the only pet, feel secure and settle at her own pace.

She’s not asking for anything extraordinary.

Just a home where she belongs. A family to love. A safe place where she never has to worry about being left behind again.

She gave her puppies the best chance she could. Now we’d love to give Amber hers. 🥹

📍 Currently in North Macedonia and ready to travel to the UK or EU.
✅ Vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and 4D tested.
💉 Tested negative for diseases, inc. brucellosis.
🐾 Full rescue back-up (RBU) provided by Pawpers in the Ruff.
💙 Adoption fee applies.

💌 Could you be the person Amber has been waiting for? Please message Pawpers in the Ruff to enquire about adopting her.

And if Amber isn’t the dog for you, please share her story. Somewhere out there is a family who hasn’t met her yet. 🤎

🚲🐾 THE TINY BICYCLE PASSENGER IS ALL GROWN UP… AND NOW SHE NEEDS A HOME 💛

That tiny puppy being carried to safety through the mountains?

That was Maila.

Against the odds, she survived — and two years later she’s grown into a beautiful 27kg girl who is affectionate, friendly, full of life and very ready for her next adventure. ❤️

And this time, we’re hoping the destination is HOME. 🏡

💛 MAILA — THE TINY BICYCLE PASSENGER WHO SURVIVED 🚲🐾

Two years ago, Maila was a tiny puppy alone in the mountains of Mavrovo.

Malnourished, frightened and far too young to fend for herself, her chances of surviving alone were desperately small.

And then somebody saw her.

A young man cycling through the mountains spotted the tiny puppy trembling beside the road.

He stopped.

He picked her up, tucked her safely onto his bicycle and cycled mile after mile to another city, where help was waiting.

That tiny passenger was Maila. ❤️

And just look at her now.

Maila grew from that fragile little puppy into a beautiful, happy 2-year-old girl — 27kg of affection, energy and personality.

She loves people and is friendly and affectionate. She’s great with other dogs and can live with children aged 10+. She can be fearful of cats, so any home with cats would need to be considered carefully.

Maila would love a family who’ll include her in their lives — adventures and walks, yes, but also those ordinary moments that make a home: company in the garden, lazy afternoons and sitting beside you while you drink your morning coffee. ☕🐾

Her first journey gave her a chance to live.

Now we’re hoping someone will give her the chance to belong.

Looking for a very special person for Amelia 💞

🌻located in Surry close to Hithrow airport.

🍀She is a 7y old girl who has lived all her life in a home.
👌Her management has always been different and somewhat difficult at times because of her distinct pray drive.
🙏This is mostly the reason behind our request that she is an only pet in the home and that there are no kids in the home.
☺️Somewhat coming from the fact that she is older, she won't put up with childish tantrums nor poky pinchy behaviour.
🍀This is the reason why we need someone experienced, perhaps someone who has had this challenge before in life.

💔❤️‍🩹It's heartbreaking when one of our own asks for help and a home after so long, however our wish is only to find her a home again.

✅UP TO DATE WITH VACINATIONS
🍀 NO ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED
☀️Still we are requiring a full adoption process.

Message is in inbox for more details.
Rbu and lifetime suport from Pawpers in the Ruff applies

🖤 HE KNOWS WHAT HOME FEELS LIKE. HE JUST WANTS TO FEEL IT AGAIN. 🏡

Meet Ringo. ❤️

Three years old. A handsome Labrador cross. 30kg of love and loyalty.

And a dog who must be wondering what happened to the life he once knew. 💔

You see, Ringo wasn’t always a rescue dog.

He had a home. He had an owner. He knew what it meant to be part of someone’s everyday life.

But when his owner left the country, Ringo was left behind at the border.

And just like that, his whole world changed.

Now he’s in kennels in North Macedonia, waiting for another chance.

But here’s what we really want you to know about Ringo…

He’s an absolutely lovely dog. 🥹

🐾 He adores people and forms strong bonds.

🐾 He’s affectionate, loyal and loves being close to his humans.

🐾 He walks beautifully on the lead.

🐾 He’s lived in a home before and is familiar with family life.

🐾 And just look at that smile! 😍

Ringo’s perfect match?

A kind, active home where he’ll be welcomed indoors as a much-loved member of the family.

He would be happy as an only dog or could potentially share with a calm female dog. He’s not suited to living with cats or dominant male dogs.

He’s fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and 4D tested (tested negative for diseases, inc. brucellosis), and ready to travel from North Macedonia.

❤️ Full rescue back-up provided and official rescue is Pawpers in the Ruff.
🐾 An adoption fee applies.

Winter is approaching, and we’d dearly love for Ringo to be somewhere warm, surrounded by the people who love him.

Ringo has already known the happiness of having a family. Can we help him find it again? 🖤

Even if you can’t adopt, please share Ringo’s story. His next family might be just one share away. 🐾

I know I always want something, but if I don't ask, I don't get and I have to admit you usually are pretty amazing with your responses 🐾🐾😂 🤦‍♀️
I'm appealing this time for your collars & leads please, and dog coat/jumpers if you have any 🐾🐾🙂
I have a new address for you to send them to, so please don't send them to Mafalda as she is no longer taking them. Please P.M. me for details.
Debbie Parkinson-Thwaites sent me some that she had purchased from charity shops which is a brilliant idea and very cost effective and maybe something you would consider 🐾🐾🙂
We do use a terrific quantity so all donations are gratefully accepted, thank you so much 🐾🐾🙂❤️ See less

🐑🤍 MEET PEGGY — THE LITTLE LAMB WHO’S READY TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER!

Three years old. One very questionable haircut. And a whole lot of love waiting for the right person. 🥹

Peggy is a beautiful little Bichon Frise who spent her first three years living in a home, but never really being made to feel like part of the family.

She was always in the background.

Well, not anymore. ❤️

Peggy is now safe with Pawpers, and we’ve promised her that her next chapter will be different.

A home where she’s wanted. Where she matters. Where she’s somebody’s little shadow, favourite companion and much-loved family member.

🤍 A LITTLE ABOUT PEGGY

🐾 3 years old
🐾 Female Bichon Frise
🐾 Small, sweet and gentle
🐾 Friendly with other small dogs
🐾 Cat friendly
🐾 A little nervous around larger dogs
🐾 Lead trained and enjoys her walks
🐾 Has previously lived in a home

And yes, we need to address the haircut. 😂🐑

Someone clearly fancied themselves as a dog groomer, and poor Peggy ended up looking rather more like a lamb than a Bichon!

But hair grows back. And underneath that slightly unusual hairstyle is a lovely little girl who just wants to belong.

One day she’ll have her beautiful fluffy coat again. But hopefully, long before that, she’ll have something even better.

Her very own family. 🏡❤️

📍 Currently in Macedonia and ready to travel to the UK.
🛟 Full rescue back-up (RBU) in place.
🐾 Adoption fee applies.
❤️ Official rescue is Pawpers in the Ruff
🏥 Tested negative for disease, including brucellosis

💌 Could you give Peggy the happy ending she deserves? Message Pawpers in the Ruff to enquire.

And if you can’t adopt, please share Peggy’s story. Somewhere out there is someone who won’t be able to resist this little face. 🤍

🐾 MEET THOMAS — PROFESSIONAL GOOD BOY IN TRAINING 😄❤️

Thomas is around a year old, and it’s fair to say he approaches life with enthusiasm.

Lots of enthusiasm.

He’s sweet, cheeky, playful, affectionate and currently learning all those important things young dogs aren’t automatically born knowing.

Thomas was found in the hills with two other puppies, alone and vulnerable. They were taken to safety and eventually came into rescue care.

He was given the chance to grow up.

Now we want to give him the chance to grow up in a home. 🏡

Thomas lives around both puppies and adult dogs and is developing lovely social skills. He likes to invite everybody to play, but he’s learning to respect other dogs when they’re not interested.

Cats?

Thomas has met those too.

Unfortunately, nobody has yet explained to Thomas that a cat issuing a warning swipe might not be asking him to become its best friend. 😂

His interest is playful, so he could potentially live with a confident, dog-savvy cat with careful introductions and sensible management.

🐾 Thomas at a glance

🎂 Around 1 year old
📏 Medium–large mixed breed
🐶 Dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly with the right match
👧 Children 7+
✂️ Neutered
💉 Vaccinated
🧪 Tested
🇲🇰 Currently in Macedonia and ready to travel

Thomas will need continued training, including lead walking, toilet training, household manners and appropriate socialisation.

He’s not a finished product.

He’s a young dog with enormous potential looking for someone who wants to be part of helping him reach it. ❤️

If Thomas’s ridiculous ears, happy face and slightly chaotic puppy energy have won you over, please message us to enquire.
