Sanctuary Rescue Saving shelter dogs one puppy at a time. We are a small, foster-based animal rescue located in Midlothian, Virginia.

We consist of dedicated animal lovers who open our homes to foster those that have been left behind. We pull our dogs from high-kill shelters where they would otherwise not stand a chance. We "specialize" in saving pregnant and nursing mama dogs and orphaned puppies who are especially vulnerable in shelters. But we certainly don't discriminate and also save adult dogs looking for a new life as well. All of our dogs are fostered in a home environment, many times with other dogs and children. We try to teach them all what it is like to be loved, to learn good doggie manners and to become well- socialized.

We had to say goodbye to our big bub, Aquaman, yesterday. His stay with us was brief, but we gave him our all for the last two months to slow the rapid progression of his hydrocephalus, and in case we weren’t successful, to give him a great life in the meantime. He is survived by his bestie, French Fry, who embraced his quirky quirkisms and loved him just the way he was, and the staff and volunteers at Liz’s Place that loved him, sat patiently through his hour-long feedings, took him for strolls in his wagon, and embraced every part of him. We were his family and are comforted by the fact that he had a family even for just a little while. We hope he is whole in heaven and running through the meadows in a straight line. Rest easy, big bub.

Mama Dust Bunny and her baby vacuums are doing great. Mom is enjoying her new surroundings and Bissell, Dyson, Kirby, and Roomba are starting to romp and play and explore this bright new world. This is what four weeks looks like.

They tell me this red fox retriever is fancy. I think all dogs are fancy, so I guess I must agree. We’re pleased to introduce you to Beauregard Tomato Frog Cackleberry Sugarbaker (‘Mater for short). Say hello and tell him he’s fancy (whether he is or not).

It’s been a long day. Like, maybe the longest day ever recorded. All I can do is show you this smushy lady that we sprang from jail today and hope you all think the long days are worth it as much as we do.

We would like to exploit this puppy’s adorableness to get your attention so that you’ll like, share, and comment on this post telling you and all your friends about the 44th Annual Midlothian Village Day Festival on Saturday, October 17, at Midlothian Middle School. Although the festival has been around for almost half a century, this is Sanctuary Rescue’s first year hosting. There’s a parade from 9 to 10 AM, the festival is from 10 AM to 3 PM. There are 100 local crafters/vendors/makers, a petting zoo, adoptable cats and dogs, a food truck food court, a pumpkin patch, games, inflatables, stage performances and so much more - oh and don’t forget the parade! Mark your calendars, and get ready for a whole lotta fun!
