๐Ÿ–ค We honestly don't understand how Poppy is still available.

She's smart.

She's crate trained.

She loves other dogs.

She's learning all the important puppy stuff.

And just look at that little spotted nose.

At only 4 months old, Poppy should be planning her adventures with a forever familyโ€”not waiting for someone to notice her.

Maybe you're her person. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿพ IT'S FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿšจ

And we are in trouble!

Every year, we rescue hundreds of abandoned, abused, neglected, and homeless dogs and puppies. We take the dogs nobody else will. The sick ones. The injured ones. The unwanted litters. The strays left behind.

Right now, more than 30 dogs are depending on us for food, shelter, medical care, and a safe place to sleep.

But the reality is this:

The cost of everything has skyrocketed. Dog food. Fuel. Electricity. Veterinary care. Supplies. Daily care for the dogs who depend on us.

And we are struggling to keep up. Please DONATE ๐Ÿ‘‡https://rustyslegacync.com/donate

We never want to be forced to turn a dog away because we can't pay our bills. We never want to look at a homeless, injured, or abandoned dog and wonder if we can afford to save them.

But today, we need our village. DONATE HERE https://rustyslegacync.com/donate

๐Ÿ’› If just 100 people give $5, we'll raise $500.
๐Ÿ’› If 200 people give $5, we'll raise $1,000.
๐Ÿ’› Every single donation matters.

For the dogs sleeping safely tonight because someone cared.
For the puppies who would have otherwise had nowhere to go.
For the next dog that desperately needs a second chance.

Please donate if you can. You could save a life today.

๐Ÿพ We can't do this without you.
๐Ÿพ The dogs can't do this without you.

We are the only licensed Dog Rescue in McDowell County, we can't close our doors. Thank you for standing with us.

๐Ÿพ STOP SCROLLING โ€” LOOK AT THAT FACE ๐Ÿพ

Meet Poppy ๐Ÿ’›
Around 16 weeks old, ridiculously cute, and already showing signs of being a really smart little girl.

Poppy is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and easygoing companion. She LOVES other dogs, enjoys exploring the yard, and already sticks close to her people even though sheโ€™s still learning the whole leash thing.

Sheโ€™s doing amazing for a baby puppy:
โœ”๏ธ Crate trained at night
โœ”๏ธ Keeps her crate clean
โœ”๏ธ Doing great with potty training
โœ”๏ธ Smart and eager to learn
โœ”๏ธ Curious, confident, and social
โœ”๏ธ Independent enough to entertain herself (not super clingy!)

Like any teething puppy, sheโ€™s got a playful little โ€œland sharkโ€ side in the evenings ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ€” chew sticks are her best friend right now.

Poppy would thrive in a home ready for puppy fun, puppy training, and lots of love. Sheโ€™s the kind of dog thatโ€™s going to grow into an amazing companion.

And letโ€™s be honestโ€ฆ that spotted nose is impossible to resist. ๐Ÿ–ค

๐Ÿ“Please fill out an application on our website to meet her!
๐Ÿ“ฃ Please share โ€” her family might be one post away. ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ It's FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ
Today we need DONATIONS AND puppy fosters. ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://rustyslegacync.com/donate

We pulled these little babies from the animal shelter. We need money to vaccinate them , feed them AND have them spayed and neutered, of course.
Please donate to the puppy fund! All money raised TODAY and tomorrow will go to help us raise these sweet little pups until we can find them loving homes. Even 5 bucks will be a big help!! ๐Ÿ‘‰

https://rustyslegacync.com/donate

If interested in fostering, we have 2 girls and a boy- 4-5 months old, mixed breed puppies.
