An update from the captain of the ship 💜💚

Captain—Cap to those who know him—has come so far since joining his foster family. After being bounced around before he landed here, he needed much more than a few days to settle. During his first month, he was anxious, more reactive to his triggers, and sometimes went days without eating. He lost nine pounds. We had blood work done, made adjustments to his Prozac with his care team, and gave him time to learn that his new routine was here to stay.

Decompression takes time. A dog who is overwhelmed, frightened, or living without the support they need can show behavior that looks dangerous. We have to take that behavior seriously and look at what’s behind it. For Captain, that has meant learning his needs, respecting his limits, and building a reasonable plan for management and enrichment around him.

Now we know that Cap does best with a cozy space reserved just for him. Gates and a management plan keep him separated from the other pets. Music or TV helps him settle when he needs to spend time alone, and he eats better when he gets his full daily portion in the morning instead of having it split into meals.

New people meet Cap slowly and with close supervision. He only needs to meet people who will be a regular part of his life. There’s no reason to ask him to greet every visitor or put him in a situation he isn’t ready for. Those boundaries help keep everyone safe, especially Cap.

We’ve learned what makes him happy, too. He loves beef trachea and yak cheese chews, and his favorite games are tag and keep-away with his orange ball. He’s built wonderful bonds with his foster family. Today, he’s eating normally and seems so much happier.

Captain has a bite history, and we take that seriously. He is also a predictable, stable, wonderful dog whose needs we can plan around. We’re fortunate to give him a permanent foster home as our first official Sanctuary SoulDog.

We’ll keep sharing Captain’s story to help people understand decompression, how dogs communicate, and the difference an individualized plan can make. 🐾

🚨 URGENT RESCUE PLACEMENT NEEDED – 3 DOGS NEED HELP! 🐾❤️

We are assisting a family in finding rescue placement for three deserving dogs who urgently need a second chance.

These dogs belong to an owner who suffers from some health issues, and, as a result, has struggled to properly care for them. Unfortunately, due to changes in personal circumstances, their owner is no longer able to provide for their needs.

All three dogs are very underweight, but despite their circumstances, they appear to be friendly with people and other dogs.

🐾 MEET THE DOGS:

🐶 LOKI – Brindle Boxer Mix

* Male, not neutered
* Approximately 3–5 years old
* Appears dog friendly and people friendly

🐶 BABY GIRL – Blonde Carolina Dog Mix

* Female, not spayed
* Approximately 3–5 years old
* Appears dog friendly and people friendly

🐶 THOR – Black & White Pit Bull Mix

* Male, not neutered
* Approximately 3–5 years old
* Appears dog friendly and people friendly

❤️ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

* All three dogs are underweight.
* Heartworm status is unknown for all three.
* Veterinary history is limited, but a family member took them for vaccinations last year and has records available.
* The dogs are NOT bonded and can be separated into different rescues.
* The owner’s uncle is willing to contribute financially toward the veterinary care and vetting expenses for each dog accepted into rescue.
* Any rescue organization accepting one or more of these dogs must be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or a USDA-licensed shelter.

🙏 WE NEED RESCUE PARTNERS!

These dogs didn’t choose their circumstances, and they deserve an opportunity to experience the love, stability, and proper care every dog should have.

If your rescue has room for even ONE of these precious pups, please reach out to Soul Dog Pet Rescue.

Even if you cannot help directly, please share this post with your rescue contacts. The right connection could change everything for these three dogs.

🐾 Three dogs. Three lives. Three chances to make a difference. ❤️

🐾💜 DO YOU SUFFER FROM ALLERGIES? SO DOES OPAL! 💜🐾

If you struggle with allergies, you might be the perfect person to understand what our sweet Opal goes through every day!

Opal suffers from severe environmental and food allergies. Managing them requires a special diet, regular baths, topical treatments, and medication. She’s looking for someone willing to give her the extra care she needs to stay comfortable and happy.

💕 A little about Opal:

* 🐾 Almost 6 years old, approximately 55 pounds
* 🏡 House-trained and crate-trained
* 🐶 Dog-friendly with proper introductions
* 👧 Does well with respectful children
* ❤️ Sweet, affectionate, and deserving of a loving home

Opal doesn’t need a perfect person. She just needs someone who understands that allergies don’t define who she is.

If you know what it’s like to live with allergies, maybe you can be the one to give Opal the understanding, patience, and love she deserves.

💜 Contact Soul Dog Pet Rescue to learn more about adopting Opal!

🐾 Please share to help Opal find her forever family!

🐾💕 HONEY IS HOME! 💕🐾

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our sweet Honey has found her forever home with an amazing family, and we couldn’t be happier for her! ❤️

Sometimes, the hardest decisions in rescue are the ones that require us to put a dog’s needs above our own feelings. Honey’s story is a beautiful reminder of why those decisions matter so much.

As rescuers, we pour our hearts into these dogs. We develop hopes and dreams for their futures, but sometimes we have to recognize that what we want for them isn’t necessarily what they need.

Had we held on to our own vision for Honey instead of listening to what she was telling us she needed, we might never have gotten to see this beautiful, happy, relaxed, and thriving version of her.

And seeing Honey now, so peaceful, so loved, and so completely at home, makes every difficult decision along the way worth it. ❤️

Because at the end of the day, rescue isn’t about where we want a dog to be. It’s about finding where that dog truly belongs.

For Honey, that place is exactly where she is today. 🏡💕

Happy tails, sweet Honey! You have found your people, your happiness, and most importantly, the place where your heart can finally feel at home.

And that is everything we could have ever wished for you. 🐾❤️

With love,
Soul Dog Pet Rescue 💜

💜🐾 OCTOBER IS PIT BULL AWARENESS MONTH! 🐾💜

Pit bulls have spent decades being misunderstood and judged by the way they look. But those of us who know them know the truth: they are individuals—goofy, loyal, loving, sensitive, adventurous and incredibly devoted.

At Soul Dog Pet Rescue, we have five amazing pitties waiting for homes, and we’d love for you to get to know them. 💜

🐾 PENNY — Playful, snuggly and independent. After more than a year in rescue, she’s still waiting for her person and would love to be your one and only.

🐾 AZULA — Young, social and always ready for adventure! She loves people, enjoys other dogs and has done well with cats.

🐾 SWEETS — Fun, playful and active. She loves tug, fetch and other dogs and would especially enjoy a canine companion.

🐾 ELOISE — An adventurous girl who loves hiking, water and mud. She needs a little time to trust new people, but once she does, she’s goofy, loyal and loving.

🐾 OPAL — Almost 6 and one of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet. Despite battling significant allergies, she continues to greet life with her beautiful smile and endless love.

Five dogs. Five different personalities and stories. One unfair label.

This Pit Bull Awareness Month, help us change the conversation. Educate. Advocate. Adopt. Share. 💜

Because changing perceptions can save lives.

🐾 Don’t judge the label. Get to know the dog. 🐾

🐾 SOUL DOG SUNDAY — TAWNY 🐾

Today for Soul Dog Sunday, we’re going a little off script.

Unlike many of the dogs we feature, Tawny wasn’t adopted. She didn’t get to spend years in a loving home with a family who called her their own.

But she absolutely deserved to.

This summer, Tawny and her puppies were found living outside in a makeshift nest behind an old cemetery in Flint. They were captured and brought into Animal Care, and thankfully, all of her puppies were able to make it into rescue. Today, they’re getting the chance to live the kind of life every homeless dog deserves.

Tawny wasn’t as fortunate.

Like so many dogs who have spent their lives outside without proper care, Tawny tested positive for heartworm disease.

Despite everything she was going through, Tawny was the sweetest girl. ❤️ She quickly became a volunteer favorite and eventually scored something pretty incredible: an amazing foster home where she could rest, heal, and be loved while undergoing heartworm treatment.

And Tawny was perfect.

🐾 Not one accident in the house
🐾 Slept quietly in her crate all night
🐾 Greeted every person she met with affection
🐾 Soaking up every belly rub, soft couch and ounce of love she could get

Unfortunately, Tawny began experiencing serious complications during her treatment. The damage caused by her advanced heartworm disease was simply too much, and despite everyone’s efforts, Tawny didn’t make it.

She never got her adoption day.

She never got the official title of someone’s “Soul Dog.”

But we don’t think Tawny knew that.

For the last three weeks of her life, she had a home. She had a soft couch. She had belly rubs. She had people who worried about her, cared for her, spoiled her and loved her.

Maybe it wasn’t nearly long enough—but for those three weeks, Tawny finally got to know what it felt like to belong.

So today, we’re making it official.

❤️ Tawny is an honorary Soul Dog. ❤️

She was a mama who kept her babies alive while living outside. She was a favorite of the volunteers who cared for her. She was loved deeply by the foster family who gave her the best three weeks of her life. And she touched the hearts of so many people along the way.

Tawny never got the chance to be someone’s Soul Dog.

So today, she is everyone’s Soul Dog.

Rest easy, beautiful girl. You mattered. You were loved. And you will be remembered. 🐾🌈

💜🐾 HOW IS PENNY STILL WAITING? 🐾💚

Penny has officially been in rescue for over a year, and we would really love to change that.

She’s watched other dogs come and go while she continues waiting for someone to finally see what makes her so special.

✨ Penny is:
• Playful, lovable & snuggly
• Independent and great at entertaining herself
• Happy hanging out in the house or yard
• Able to settle when left home alone
• Non-destructive
• Reliable without potty accidents
• A great fit for someone who works during the day

Penny’s biggest hurdle is simply that she wants to be your one and only pet. But for the right person, that means you get ALL of Penny’s love. ❤️

She doesn’t need another animal to keep her company. She just needs her person. Her home. Her turn.

After more than a year of waiting, we think Penny has earned it.

Please share Penny and help us find the person who has been missing her. 🐾
