🐶🌧️It's raining PUPPIES!🌧️🐶

Our partner shelter in Indiana is overflowing with dogs. Unfortunately that means these babies are growing up in crates that are stacked around the facility. All are sweet, playful and in need of a place to truly grow.

🩷Vanessa is 6 months.
🩵Ky is 11 months.
❤️Aliya is 5 months.
💜Bindy is 6 months.

Puppies should never have to spend their precious lives in crates. They deserve a family and a safe, quiet place to call home. All of these puppies are currently in Indiana but they can be transported to approved fosters OR adopters at no cost.

Please share and message us with any questions.
Thank you to all🙏

☀️🐾 Happy First Day of Summer!

Summer means longer walks, backyard adventures, pup cups, pool days, road trips, and making memories with our favorite four-legged friends.

We hope your summer is filled with sunshine, wagging tails, and plenty of reasons to smile.

🎉 Adopted: Louise from Afghanistan 🎉

Louise was rescued by our partner Kabul Small Animal Rescue with her sister Thelma after being dumped in a sewage area in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Louise was adopted a few months later but then returned due to no fault of her own. We sent Louise to training and then she was moved to her foster Kim in IL. It has been a long wait for this sweet girl to find her loving forever home, but now she has the jackpot. Congratulations and thanks to all! Happy life, Louise!! 🎉🎉

🌴🌞Jackson needs a foster or adopter!🌞🌴

Jackson is a special boy with a fragile soul and a big heart! Jackson was so stressed at the shelter he was spinning in circles, literally! He found a temp foster and went to the vet to rule out any other issues. He's a healthy boy, just scared. He's so happy outside the shelter and learning to trust again.

Jackson is..
🍋‍🟩About 5 years old and 55 pounds
🍋‍🟩Great with other dogs
🍋‍🟩Loves all people
🍋‍🟩House trained
🍋‍🟩Walks well on leash
🍋‍🟩Behaves well when left alone

Soon he will lose his foster.. Without another or an adopter he will be returned to the shelter and likely deteriorate again. We cant let that happen! Jackson is currently in Oklahoma but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter.

Please apply below or message us with any questions.
Thank you to all🙏

Bonn is still waiting… and we truly don’t understand how ❤️🐾

This incredible girl has been back in rescue for a while now, quietly being the same fun, smart, adventure-loving dog she’s always been — just waiting for someone to finally choose her for good.

At 5 years old and only 33 lbs, Bonn is the PERFECT size for someone wanting an active companion without a giant dog attached to them 24/7 😅

She’s athletic, goofy, affectionate, and always ready to DO something:
🐾 Dock diving (she even earned her Novice title!)
🐾 Swimming after tennis balls
🐾 Nose work and learning new skills
🐾 Outdoor adventures
🐾 Basically any activity that involves hanging out with her people

Bonn thrives when she has an outlet and a person to bond with. She’s smart enough to learn just about anything and enthusiastic enough to make it fun.

And when the adventure is over? She’s happy to settle in and be your loyal little sidekick ❤️

✔️ Housetrained
✔️ Crate-trained
✔️ Great in the car
✔️ Friendly with people and kids
✔️ Does well with dogs her size or larger with proper introductions

Because of her prey drive, Bonn needs a home without cats, small dogs, or small animals.

📍 Fostered in the Pittsburgh, PA area
🚐 Transport available to approved adopters

💥 Her adoption fee is sponsored for the right home 💥

Bonn has spent far too long watching other dogs get chosen first.

Let’s change that. ❤️

Last week was one of those weeks that reminded us just how incredible this community truly is.

When dogs needed help, you showed up.

You shared posts. You offered fosters. You donated. You transported. You tagged friends. You cheered us on. You cared.

Rescue can sometimes feel overwhelming, but moments like last week remind us that we are never doing this alone.

Every comment, share, application, donation, and act of kindness matters more than you know. While the public often sees the dogs, we see the community standing behind them—and we are so grateful.

From all of us at Traveling Tails Dog Rescue, thank you for believing that every dog deserves a chance.

We couldn't do this without you. ❤️🐾

We know you've got them. ❤️🐾

The nervous shelter photo.
The first day home picture.
The awkward puppy stage.
The "what have I gotten myself into?" moment.

Now show us where they are today.

Drop two photos in the comments:
📸 The day you got your dog
📸 A current photo

We can't wait to see all the rescue glow-ups, gray muzzles, happy endings, and beloved family members they've become.
