Truman has already endured more suffering than any dog ever should. He came from a horrific narcotics situation, abandoned as just a baby, living in heartbreaking conditions and struggling to survive completely on his own.

Since entering rescue, Truman has faced one challenge after another... medical issues, a failed adoption, being returned to rescue and now devastating news: this sweet little boy needs TWO patella surgeries to repair his legs and finally give him the pain-free life he deserves.

His surgeries are estimated at approximately $2,000, and we cannot do this without your help.

Please, if you’ve ever wanted to make a direct difference in a rescue dog’s life, this is your chance. Every donation, every share, every raffle ticket matters. Truman has already survived so much. Now he needs people willing to stand behind him and help him finally heal. 🤍🐾

SENIOR Needs Forever home💔

Meet Louie, a handsome 9-year-old Lab mix looking for a new place to call home. Unfortunately, his current situation is no longer working for him with a toddler in the home and another baby on the way. Louie is struggling around little ones and deserves a quieter environment where he can finally relax and enjoy his golden years.

His perfect home would be with an older couple or someone simply looking for a loyal companion to go for car rides, spend time up north, relax in the yard, and just enjoy life together.

Louie is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and ready to go. All he’s missing is a family to love him.

If you are interested in giving this sweet senior the peaceful home he deserves, please private message us or fill out an application at:

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
Why does it always happen to the Beagle?

This sweet 3-year-old Beagle’s life has been turned upside down. He is being replaced by a fluffy little Shih Tzu and now spends much of his time sitting alone in a crate with very little love or attention. Nobody deserves to feel discarded like this.

We have all of TODAY to find him a safe foster home. Even though we are trying to help the owners, they are now threatening to drop him off at a shelter that euthanizes for space.

Please — if you can foster, even temporarily, reach out immediately. He deserves comfort, kindness, and a chance to know he matters.

Foster needed ASAP

Please private message Make A Difference Rescue if you can help save this boy.

Meet Penelope ♥️

Penelope is a sweet girl whose gentle heart and thoughtful nature make her a joy to be around. She has a soft, loving spirit that shines through in every look and tail wag. Penelope is the kind of dog who notices the small moments - the calm voice, the gentle touch, and the warmth of being near someone who cares.

Since coming into care, Penelope has been learning more about what it means to feel safe and loved. She enjoys quiet attention, steady routines, and finding cozy spots to relax after a good walk or some playtime. Her confidence grows a little more each day as she experiences kindness and patience from the people around her.

Penelope is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and ready for a home where warmth, affection, and consistency are part of everyday life. She is searching for someone who will embrace her gentle nature, cherish her soft loyalty, and help her become the happiest version of herself.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a loving heart and a peaceful presence, Penelope could be the perfect fit for your family. 🐾

Meet Rose ♥️

Rose is a sweet, affectionate girl with a bright personality and a heart full of love to give. She has an easy way about her that makes people feel comfortable right away, whether she’s walking alongside you or leaning in for attention.

Rose was rescued from living on a chain outside, along with two other dogs. Those dogs have already found their forever homes. Rose is the last one still waiting. She has done nothing but remain loving, gentle, and hopeful, even after being left behind.

She loves being around people, enjoys getting out for walks, and is happiest when she knows she’s included. Rose has a joyful spirit and a quiet resilience that makes her impossible not to root for. She deserves the same happy ending her companions received.

Rose is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready for a forever home where she will never be forgotten or left behind again. She has waited long enough.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who truly deserves her chance, Rose is ready to be chosen. 🐾

MEET POPPY 🌸🐾

At just a year old, Poppy has already been through more change than any dog should. She was found as a stray, but you would never guess it by the way she’s thriving in her foster home. This sweet girl has settled in beautifully and is soaking up every bit of love, comfort, and stability she can get.

She absolutely loves other dogs, enjoys going for walks, and is happiest just being near her people. Whether she’s exploring the neighborhood or curled up relaxing after a long day, Poppy is simply grateful to be safe and loved. 🩷

Now all she needs is a forever family of her own. A home where she never has to wonder what comes next again.

Poppy has so much love to give and deserves a family who will see just how special she is. Please share to help her find the happy ending she’s been waiting for. 🐶
