Apparently, El Paso spent $8.5 million on OnlyFans subscriptions last year.

Naturally, the MuttLove admin team started brainstorming... Do we need an OnlyFans to pay these vet bills? We've already suggested dog feet pics, so why not? We could call it Raunchy Rescue.

Our premium content would include:
• Belly pics.
• Toe bean close-ups.
• Potty videos.
• Vomit compilations.
• Wet towel contests after bath time.
• ASMR of dogs loudly licking themselves at 2 a.m.
• Live streams of us trying to figure out where that smell is coming from.
• Mutt Slut Monday- where we post ridiculous belly shots and sleep poses
• "Who p**ped in the living room?"... an interactive guessing game.
• Behind-the-scenes footage of dogs acting as if they've never been fed, despite eating 14 seconds ago.
• Chihuahua thirst traps... where they're just screaming at absolutely nothing.
• publicly self-cleaning and scratching

Or maybe we should skip all that and start a Pawtreon instead.

In all seriousness, rescue is already the least glamorous subscription service on the internet. We spend our days cleaning kennels, doing laundry, mopping floors, picking up p**p, celebrating adoptions, mourning losses, and somehow finding a way to pay the next vet bill.

The good news? We've paid down a huge chunk of our veterinary debt.

We still owe about $3,400, and we have three dentals scheduled for August 17 that still need about $690 to be fully funded; including one for Popeye before he heads out of state with his foster-fail family.

If you'd rather we stick to rescuing dogs instead of launching Raunchy Rescue, we'd be grateful for any help. Whether it's $5, $20, or simply sharing this post, every dollar goes directly toward veterinary care and helps us keep saying "yes" to the dogs who need us.

Yesterday was heavy. Today, we're choosing to look for some silver lining (and not just in this weird "will it rain or won't it?" weather).

Good news: We paid a huge chunk of our veterinary debt down.

Bad news: We still owe about $3,400.

Good news: We've been sitting on this one for a while... Popeye was a foster fail! He's getting ready to move out of state with his family, and before he starts this exciting new chapter, we want to send him off in the best health possible- including a freshly cleaned set of pearly whites.

We already have three dentals scheduled for August 17, and Popeye is one of them. Together, we need to raise about $460 to make those appointments happen.

Bad news: Well... we're broke again.

Good news: We have the most incredible supporters.

Bad news: We need to ask for your help... again.

It's always a balancing act in rescue. We work to pay off yesterday's emergencies while making sure today's dogs don't have to wait for the care they need.

If you're able to help, whether it's with $5, $20, or simply sharing this post, you'll be helping us keep moving forward. Every dollar goes directly toward veterinary care, and every bit of support helps us get one step closer to saying "yes" the next time a dog needs us.

Thank you for believing in what we do and for helping us make it possible.

There is a line in the song our sweet girl was named after: "She rules her life like a fine skylark." Today, we had to let our beautiful Rhiannon spread her wings and fly.

There are dogs whose stories stay with you forever. Rhiannon will always be one of them. She survived the unthinkable, losing her entire family in a house fire. She survived a surgery that nearly claimed her life while trying to remove the tumors that would ultimately take her from us. Through every hardship, she remained gentle, trusting, and impossibly sweet.

She deserved so much better than life gave her.

Cancer moved through her body with heartbreaking speed. Despite multiple veterinary visits and every option we could explore, it became clear we were no longer fighting for a cure. We were fighting for her comfort.

Before we said goodbye, we did one more thing. We sent her adoption contract to her foster. Rhiannon didn't leave this world as a foster. She left as someone's family.

She left knowing the love, safety, and belonging that every dog deserves. We couldn't change everything that happened before she came to us. We couldn't stop cancer from stealing her future. But we could make sure her last chapter was different.

We promised her we would never ask her to suffer simply because we weren't ready to let her go. Today, we kept that promise.

As the song says, she has been "taken by the sky, taken by the wind." Her body has been laid to rest, but everything that made Rhiannon who she was; her gentle spirit, her quiet resilience, and the love she inspired, will stay with us forever.

To everyone who donated, shared her story, sent kind words, or loved her from afar, thank you. Because of you, Rhiannon's final chapter wasn't about fear, homelessness, or being forgotten. It was about love.

Run free, sweet Rhiannon.

Last week, we asked you to save the date. Today, we're excited to tell you why!

MuttLove is partnering with Flix Brewhouse- Montecillo for the release of the newest PAW Patrol movie!

Join us on Friday, August 14, 6:00- 8:00 pm, to grab a bite, catch a flick, and meet some of our adoptable dogs.

We can't wait to see you!

Cricket has a MuttLove update for you!

Thanks to your generosity, we've raised $600 toward our veterinary balances. That means we've paid off roughly 10% of our outstanding debt.

Every donation, every share, and every kind word has helped us move in the right direction. Thank you.

We still have a long way to go before we can reopen intake. We'll be able to begin accepting dogs again once our veterinary balances are paid down and we have foster homes available to welcome them. We're not there yet, but thanks to you, we're closer than we were yesterday.

If you'd like to help us get back to saying "yes" to the next dog in need, donations can be made through:

One more thing... Save the date: August 14, 2026!
We have a special event coming up, and we can't wait to share all the details. Stay tuned!

For years, MuttLove has made choices that put dogs first.

We don't charge surrender fees because we never want cost to be the reason someone abandons a dog instead of asking for help. We keep our adoption fees affordable because we believe good homes should be accessible to families in our community, not just those with the biggest budgets.

We're also a foster-based rescue. We don't have a shelter, paid staff, or a facility. That keeps our overhead low, but it also means we don't qualify for many of the large grants available to brick-and-mortar organizations. When a medical emergency happens, there's no six-figure grant waiting to cover it. It's the people who choose to support our mission.

The reality is that we've taken Rhiannon to the veterinarian three times in the last two weeks, and then Ray needed emergency care. We now have more than $6,000 in outstanding veterinary balances that have accumulated since May.

We've relied on CareCredit and Scratchpay to say "yes" when dogs couldn't wait. But those are emergency tools, not funding. Every month, we carry those balances; money that should be paying for medical care instead goes toward loan payments and interest. If we don't pay them down, those credit lines won't be there when the next emergency arrives.

So we're once again in the position of having to make necessary decisions.

MuttLove is closed to all new intakes until these veterinary balances are under control. No matter how urgent the case, we can't responsibly say yes until we can pay for the dogs we've already committed to.

If you believe in what we do, please help us get back to doing it.

Rhiannon update.

⚠️ Graphic pictures included ⚠️

This wasn't the update we wanted to write.

After meeting with the surgical specialist and spending a lot of time talking through every option, we've made the incredibly difficult decision not to move forward with surgery.

This wasn't a decision based on finances.
It was a decision based on what we believe is best for Rhiannon.

Over the last several days, her tumors have changed dramatically. They've grown rapidly- doubled in size, begun to ulcerate, and her prognosis is guarded at best. While surgery was technically an option, it would have been extensive, with a long and difficult recovery. We almost lost Rhiannon during her last surgery, and there was no guarantee this one would give her the quality of life we want for her.

We promised ourselves that if we ever reached the point where we were choosing treatment for us instead of for her, we'd stop and ask the harder question.

For us, that question became: Would this surgery give Rhiannon more good days, or would it simply ask her to endure more?

We don't know how much time we have left with this sweet girl. What we do know is that every day she has left will be filled with soft beds, good food, gentle hands, and all the love we can possibly give her. We'll work with our veterinarian to keep her comfortable for as long as she tells us she's still enjoying life.

When Rhiannon lets us know she's tired, we'll listen. Until then, we're going to love her with everything we've got.

Eight years ago, Fergus came to MuttLove skinny, scared, and in desperate need of a fresh start.

He and his sister were adopted together, and we hoped that would be their happily ever after. About a year later, we got the call no rescue ever wants to receive. They had been essentially abandoned and needed somewhere to go.

They came back to the foster who had loved them from the beginning. She figured she'd keep them "for now." That "for now" has survived a marriage, finishing school, career changes, and two kids. Turns out he wasn't just waiting for a home, he was waiting for his family.

Seven years ago, Fergie was diagnosed with cancer. Veterinarians told us he likely wouldn't live to see five years old. Today, he's eight.

For seven years, Fergus has continued to do what he does best: ignore the odds. He's lived a life full of love, comfort, and people who refused to give up on him. Every extra day with him has been a gift.

We also want to recognize Prime Med pharmacy for being part of Fergie's journey. For the past five years, they've faithfully supported MuttLove with monthly donations and have helped provide refills for his medications. Their generosity has made a real difference in his care, and we're incredibly grateful for everything they've done.

Here's to Fergus- the dog who never got the memo that he was supposed to quit. He just keeps proving everyone wrong.

One of our own is carrying more than anyone should have to.

The mother of one of our admins is currently battling pancreatic cancer. If you've ever walked that road with someone you love, you know how completely it takes over. Appointments become your calendar. Hospital rooms become familiar. Every phone call makes your heart race. Life doesn't pause while you're trying to hold someone together.

And then, sometimes, life adds one more thing.

Their 10-year-old dog, Sophie, recently began losing weight and suffered an unexpected seizure or fainting... we're not really sure. She needs diagnostics to determine what's happening and what treatment she may need.

At MuttLove, we rescue dogs every day. But we also believe in taking care of the people who have spent years caring for others.

There's a quote that says, "Grief shared is grief divided. Joy shared is joy multiplied." We can't change the diagnosis or take away the heartache, but we can help carry one piece of the burden.

Sometimes love looks like sitting beside someone in a hospital room. Sometimes it looks like showing up with a meal. And sometimes, it looks like a community coming together to cover a veterinary bill so a family can spend less time worrying and more time being together.

If we can cover Sophie's veterinary care, that's one less thing this family has to worry about while they focus on what matters most: being together.

If you'd like to help Sophie receive the care she needs, we'd be incredibly grateful for any donation. If you're unable to give, sharing this post is another meaningful way to help lighten the load.

Post-vet pupdate:

First, the good news: our sweet little firefly, Ray, is going to be just fine. He has corneal edema (swelling of the cornea), but thankfully, there was no damage to the eye itself. He got an antibiotic injection, some eye drops, and was sent on his merry little way. The drops are already helping, and he's got his eye open today. We'll see him again next week for a follow-up, but we're breathing a huge sigh of relief.

And now for Rhiannon.

Her repeat CBC looked much better than last time, so yay, little Rhi! Unfortunately, the rest of the appointment was much harder. Rhiannon originally came to us because of two rapidly growing masses. She also struggled significantly after her last surgery, and the veterinarian is very concerned she may not tolerate another procedure well.

Then he said the quiet part out loud. In his professional opinion, the cancer screening isn't necessary. He believes this is cancer, and because of how quickly the tumors have grown, the prognosis is poor. We'd love to disagree. We'd love to believe he's wrong.

But we're not the professionals. We're just the professional optimists.

So here's where we've landed. If Rhiannon can safely make it through one more surgery, we want to give her that chance. We know we may not have much time, but if surgery can give her more good days- days filled with chicken snackies, soft beds, car rides, and love, we think that's a gift worth giving.

When the time comes that her quality of life begins to fade, we'll make the decision none of us ever wants to make before she has to suffer.

Until then, we'd like to give her every good day we can. If you'd like to help make that possible, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation toward Rhiannon's surgery is a donation toward more tail wags, more adventures, and more days where this sweet little girl knows nothing but love.

She deserves that.
