Excuse me, I'm very busy. These biscuits aren't going to make themselves! 🐾

🐾 Some of these dogs have spent years waiting for a life they've never known.

We're reaching out to our wonderful community in hopes of helping some very deserving dogs find the homes they've been waiting for.

A shelter in Texas is preparing to close, and the dogs still in its care need somewhere to go. Some have been there for years. Not weeks. Not months. Years.

For some, life outside a kennel may be completely unfamiliar. The comfort of a couch, the quiet of a home, a soft bed beside someone who loves them… these are things many of us take for granted, but things some of these dogs may have never experienced.

And we want so badly for them to have that chance. ❤️

We also want to be realistic. These dogs aren't necessarily going to walk into a new home and immediately understand how to be someone's pet. Some may be frightened. Some may need help learning routines, building confidence, or simply understanding that they're finally safe.

They will need patience, understanding, and people willing to meet them where they are.

But imagine being the person who gets to show one of these dogs what life can be like beyond the walls of a shelter.

We're looking for adopters, experienced fosters, and reputable rescue organizations willing to help give these dogs a fresh start.

RobCo Wildlife Rescue primarily works with wildlife, but we believe every animal deserves a chance at a better life. We're simply hoping to use our little corner of the rescue community to help these dogs find theirs.

If you can help, or know someone who might, please reach out. And if you can't open your home, sharing their stories could be just as important.

They've spent enough of their lives waiting.

Let's help make their next chapter worth the wait. 🐾❤️

We haven’t posted much lately — but it definitely hasn’t been because things have been quiet around here. Quite the opposite. 🐿️💛

These two little squirrels are just one example of what’s been keeping us busy.

Their mama was hit by a car, and they went quite a while without her before help arrived. By the time they came to us, they were dehydrated, weak, and absolutely starving.

So we started slow — warmth first, then rehydration, then tiny amounts of formula once their bodies were ready for it. Thankfully, they were eager to eat and are already looking much more comfortable. 🐿️💛

One of these babies also came in with another problem we see fairly often in orphaned squirrels... a behavior called ge***al nursing. When babies are hungry, stressed, or have gone too long without mom, they may start "nursing" on a sibling’s ge***al area for comfort. It may look harmless at first, but it can become dangerous very quickly. Unfortunately, that repeated irritation may lead to severe swelling, raw tissue, scabbing, infection, and can even block the opening and prevent them from urinating. If not quickly addressed, this can lead to UTI's or a ruptured bladder.

So this is an important thing for finders to watch for: if you see baby squirrels nursing on each other’s ge***als, separate them immediately until they can get to a wildlife rehabilitator. Don’t wait for the area to become swollen or injured.

These two still have some catching up to do, but right now they’re warm, fed, resting, and getting the care they need.

Sometimes when our page gets a little quiet, it’s because the work behind the scenes hasn’t slowed down — answering messages, coordinating intakes, warming babies, mixing formula, treating injuries, and trying to give one more little life a fighting chance.

We may not always have time to post about every rescue as it happens, but the work never really stops.

Maple is tucked in warm and cozy tonight, completely unaware of the weather headed our way. 🐿️💛

With all the rain and storms ⛈️ about to come through, please take a few minutes afterward to check around your yard for displaced or exposed wildlife babies.

That means looking under trees and fallen limbs, but also checking low shrubs, brush piles, and ground nests. Heavy rain can flood or uncover nests that belong to cottontails and other ground-nesting wildlife, while strong winds can bring squirrel nests and branches down.

If you find a baby, keep them warm, in a dark and quiet place and contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator right away.

Sometimes rescue starts with nothing more than someone noticing.

Maple was noticed. And tonight, that’s why she gets to sleep safe. 💛

This is one of those updates I’ve put off writing because some little lives just leave a much bigger hole behind than you ever expect.

JuneBug came to us after being hit by a car with significant head trauma. From the beginning, she was a fighter. She ate, she gained strength, she cared for her babies, and she gave us so many moments where we truly hoped her neurological injuries might continue to improve.

We gave her time. We gave her supportive care, medication, warmth, good food, and every opportunity we could to heal.

But despite all of that, her neurological deficits remained significant. There eventually came a point where continuing to ask her to keep fighting would have been for us, not for her.

So we made the hardest decision we make in rehabilitation.

We let her go peacefully.

She was safe. She was warm. She was loved. And she was held through the very end. 💜

Wildlife rehabilitation doesn’t always end with an open carrier door and an animal running back into the wild. Sometimes success means giving an animal comfort after trauma, giving them a chance they otherwise wouldn’t have had, and then having the courage to prevent suffering when their body simply cannot recover.

JuneBug’s story still has something beautiful in it. Her little DoodleBug grew from a tiny baby tucked beside his mama into a big, thriving youngster with a future ahead of him. A piece of her continues on through him, and somehow that makes losing her just a little easier to carry.

A very special thank you to Happy Trails Pet Crematory for caring for JuneBug on her final journey and for creating this beautiful keepsake for us. Having something tangible to remember these animals by means more than we can put into words.

Run free, sweet JuneBug. No more injuries. No more struggling. Just peace. 🌿💜

You mattered here. You were loved here. And you will absolutely be remembered.

Seeing this little family almost ready for adoption is such a full-circle moment for us. 🥹❤️

Somehow, what began with a few kittens needing help grew into an entire little family of seven babies and their mama — and getting them all safely to their next chapter truly became a team effort.

That’s where Six Kittens Rescue stepped in, and we are so incredibly thankful they did.

They welcomed this whole little family, kept them together, loved them, cared for them, and helped carry them through the next part of their story. We’re so grateful for rescue friends who believe in collaboration instead of competition, and who never lose sight of the fact that the goal is simply to help the animal in front of us.

We may be a wildlife rescue and they may be the kitten experts, but sometimes rescue means knowing when another organization is exactly who an animal needs. ❤️

Thank you, Six Kittens Rescue, for saying yes to this family and for giving them the chance to grow, thrive, and now get ready for homes of their own.

It truly takes a village, and we’re very thankful you’re part of ours. 🐾

And now comes the best part… go adopt yourself one of these adorable little Texas critters. 🤠🐱❤️ They’ve already got quite the story to tell.

Scorpion (DOB 7/16) will be ready for his forever home around October 12.

This Scorpion doesn’t sting, but he sure does love to play! Scorpion is a high-energy, little fuzz ball of play time. When he’s not curled up in your lap, you’re sure to see him drifting around corners and brutally (adorably) attacking his favorite toys. So what are you waiting for? Bring sweet Scorpion into your home for guaranteed non-stop fun!

Upon adoption, Scorpion will be neutered and vaccinated. He tested negative for FIV/FeLV. He also has a pre-registered microchip.

Wall-E, Tammi and Ralph are soaking up these sweet days of growing, playing, exploring, and just getting to be little raccoons. 🦝💦💚

Every splash, climb, wrestle and curious little adventure is helping them build the skills and confidence they’ll need for life on their own.

We love getting to watch them enjoy this stage, but the goal is always the same — healthy, wild, independent raccoons who are ready to return to the wild when the time comes. 🌿

Nothing to see here… just an adorable squirrel enjoying her Henry’s block with a little avocado face mask on the side. 🥑🐿️😂

Five-star meal. Zero table manners. 💚

Welcome our newest little stinker. 🦨💗

This tiny girl was found all alone on the side of the road, far too little to be out there by herself. Thankfully, someone noticed her and made sure she got somewhere safe.

She’s warm, cared for, and settling in while we get to know her little personality. We’re already pretty smitten. 🥹

A quick Facebook PSA from RobCo Wildlife Rescue 🐾

If you recently followed our page and received a private message from us saying something like, “Thanks for following — can we help you with anything?” … that was not intentionally sent by us.

We have checked every setting we can find, turned off anything that might be related, and the messages are still going out. We’ve also learned that several other rescue pages are dealing with the same issue, so this appears to be a Facebook/Meta problem rather than something we set up ourselves.

We never want our followers to feel like we are spamming them. We are very grateful you’re here. ❤️

We’ve opened a support ticket with Facebook and are hoping they can figure out what is causing it.

In the meantime, if you get one of those messages, feel free to ignore it — unless, of course, you actually do need wildlife help. Then we’re always happy to help! 😅🦝🐿️
