Canine Miracle Rescue

Canine Miracle Rescue Canine Miracle Rescue is a small 501c3 non-profit animal rescue dedicated to saving lives, one dog at a time.

Canine Miracle Rescue was founded by Cindy Ehlers and Rhonda Reed after working together for more than 3 years saving the lives of homeless dogs in need. We strive to save dogs by helping them be less stressed in the shelter environment and to become happy, healthy, and well mannered canine citizens through positive reinforcement training and socialization. We volunteer at the First Ave Shelter an

d Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene, OR and assist with dog training and assessments; networking, arranging transfers, and transporting dogs to no-kill shelters and rescues in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia; plus we take a few of these dogs into our rescue for training and adoption to new homes. Cindy is a certified professional dog trainer with over 16 years experience and Rhonda has been a certified dog trainer for over 4 years. Our mission statement is "Saving lives, one dog at a time."

We need your help urgently.❤️‍🩹

This time of year is always incredibly difficult. Spring brings a surge of surrender requests, pleas for help, and reports of animals being abandoned. Easter, especially, has a huge impact on rescues. It often leads to impulse decisions—rabbits and other small animals brought home without proper preparation—only for many of them to end up neglected, surrendered, or dumped shortly after.

The situations we’ve shared above are just a small glimpse into what we are being contacted about every single day.

Earlier this year, we made the very difficult decision to close intakes. We needed time to stabilize, to rebuild our emergency funds, reduce the number of animals in our care, and make sure every animal with us is getting the time, medical care, and attention they truly deserve.

But adoptions have been very slow.

We still have so many animals in our care. We don’t have enough foster homes. We are struggling to keep up with supplies and medical costs. Because of this, we are being forced to say no to animals in crisis, animals living in neglect or in dangerous situations,
even when everything in us wants to help.

We cannot responsibly reopen intakes until the animals currently in our care are adopted and we have the support to sustain them.

On top of that, our reach on social media has dropped significantly.

Right now, only a small percentage of our followers are seeing our posts. When our posts aren’t seen, our animals aren’t seen. They aren’t getting adopted, and our medical cases aren’t getting the funding they need. Our recent fundraisers have not been fully covered, and many posts are receiving very little engagement.

It’s discouraging, but more importantly, it directly impacts our ability to continue helping animals.

We are doing everything we can. We are posting more, creating more video content, and trying to work with the algorithm as best as possible. At the same time, our volunteers are balancing daily animal care, medications, vet visits, and adoptions, all while managing their own personal responsibilities.

We are trying. But we truly cannot do this alone.

Here are some ways you can help:

Donate
Consistent financial support is one of the biggest ways to keep us going right now.

Adopt
If you are looking to add a pet to your family, please consider adopting from us. We have so many amazing animals waiting for homes.

Foster
We urgently need foster homes, especially for rabbits and rats.

Volunteer
We are especially in need of transport volunteers, but there are many ways to help.

Engage
Like, comment, and share our posts. Sending our posts to friends or sharing them to your stories makes a bigger difference than you might think and helps more people see the animals in our care.

If you have ideas or skills you’d like to offer, especially with fundraising, we would be incredibly grateful. We usually host a spring auction, but this year we haven’t had the capacity to organize one. Extra help in that area would mean so much.

We don’t know what the future holds if things continue like this. But we do know that we are not giving up on these animals.

We just need help to keep going.
