Ralph is safe from Devore with literally seconds to spare! We almost couldn’t pull him because we still dont have a longterm foster😭

Thankfully stepped up to foster temporarily. He is decompressing with our founder now, but we really really still need longterm foster for him in the next couple weeks🥺 He is not reactive at all to other dogs. A little stiff meeting Hank outside at first who we just rescued from devore a few days ago, but was a lot more relaxed by the time he went in his crate.

Sweet Ralph is a mess. He has a respiratory infection, and he needs entropion surgery and neuter which is all about $2,000 plus his ears are super infected which is another $500 or so. Please donate to help us offset the cost of all his medical stuff!🙏🏼🙏🏼

We really hope someone will step up to foster him longterm. He is such a sweet boy!

If you pledged, please honor pledges🙏🏼❤️

Thank you for dropping everything to get to him in time to get him out alive!

Moral of the story… Be like Nicky. If you’re thinking about it or are rooting for a dog to make it out alive, take the chance and step up. No one is coming for these dogs. It is the same people stepping up over and over again and those people are tapped out.

Fostering is free. Rescues cover the cost of supplies, vet care , training etc. Some fosters choose to donate and support financially which is always appreciated, but not required.

If you are curious and have questions, please feel free to reach out and ask🙏🏼❤️

Obviously we would never advise taking on 2 huskies without breed experience as a first time foster, BUT reputable rescues are really good at pairing people with foster dogs we know could be a good fit in your home.

Merlin is officially back under our rescue after being fostered and adopted for nearly 2 years due to very unforeseen circumstances. We cant share why he lost his dad, but its a sad situation and he was Merlin’s whole world and Merlin is heartbroken 💔💔💔Please help us help him!!! He needs a foster ASAP! He is on antibiotics for an infection in his leg that he’s already had 2 surgeries on and will likely need another. He will always have orthopedic issues but he gets around really well. He just needs a chill home to hang out and lots of love. He is a mastiff so breed experience would be preferred. He is DOG AND CAT FRIENDLY!!!! Please DM us ASAP if you can help this sweet boy☹️

**UPDATE - Rylo is in foster!! 🙏🏽 if interested in adoption, please fill out an application through our website**

URGENT!!! 🚨🚨🚨 Rylo , the American Bully who his family cant keep him because he sheds… They are saying he needs a place to go by tomorrow or they will dump him in an overcrowded shelter! He needs a foster YESTERDAY!

He is GOOD WITH DOGS, recently neutered, playful , house trained , very friendly boy. He’s just excitable meeting new dogs, but very sweet with a really good temperament.

He is also now living on the balcony😡😭💔

COMMENT TO HELP BOOST THIS POST ! Guys , please we really need more help. I know we sound like a broken record😭 We are being torn apart financially and literally drowning in medical expenses💔Seems like every single dog we’ve rescued has been a hot mess ongoing medical mystery that is taking us months and thousands of dollars to resolve. We’ve spent THOUSANDS on sadie alone after rescuing her from the palisades fire, now she needs an orthopedic surgery which is another $3500 at least😔

We were doing so much , saving so many dogs and then every dog got so expensive and the funds coming in just were not covering our expenses and monthly overhead so we had to stop pulling more and it is literally KILLING US!💔💔💔 We are good at our job. We love these dogs. We take care of them, we find them amazing homes and we are so eager to start saving dogs again like we were before , but we really do need your help! For every fundraiser we’ve done lately we’ve raised a tiny fraction of our goal😪 we don’t know if its the algorithm, time of year or something else, but we can’t continue rescuing without sufficient funds to make sure our dogs are getting the care they need. Our savings are dwindling by the day and if we keep going at this rate , eventually we will not be able to operate at all anymore.

Please , if you know us and support the work we do , please consider donating and helping us reach our fundraising goals so we can pick our momentum back up and save more dogs. The crisis is worse than its ever been. We really need your support 🙏🏼😔

Ok guys , it is way passed time for Fettuccine to find his forever home!!! This boy is so sweet! He is a good boy. Only about 1.5 years old , Potty trained, leash trained , great with other dogs , loves to play fetch and he is absolutely adorable!!! The tear stains are an ongoing mission, but he is such an adorable sweet boy that we’re all overhere wondering WHY??? 🤯😢🤔Why has he had no interest?! Is it that? Its such a stupid superficial little thing , but there is literally no other reason we can possibly come up with as to why Fetty has been with us for a year with no interest to adopt!😭

If you see this post , please comment 3 or more words to boost the algorithm so we can get this kid seen !!!

Huge thanks to his foster for caring for him! ❤️

We dont understand how Tabitha has been getting no interest at all 😭 This sweet girl has been with us over a year and a half. Shes gone from foster to foster and is finally settled down in what we are hoping will be her final foster home before she finds her forever family. Tabitha has been overlooked for so long 😪 One of the reasons we’ve had to slow down so much on intake is because we have so many amazing dogs just sitting in our rescue with no interest and not getting adopted and if our dogs arent moving we cant just pile more and more on.

Tabitha is dog and kid friendly. She needs proper structure, exercise and mental enrichment to thrive. Please comment on this post to help us boost and get more eyes on sweet Tabby❤️‍🩹

Hi guys! We need your help! Remember Wilma and Mildred ? The 2 genetically messed up bulldog girlies that were used for breeding and then dumped on the street in front of a shelter and then took care of them until rescue (us) was secured… Well they are both doing really well in their foster homes. They are the happiest girls. Wilma is with Cynthia who has the biggest heart for the special needs and neuro babies and she needs a very big surgery now to have most of her breast removed as they ALL drag and she steps on them. Its SO bad, even our vet was taken back by her condition😭

Donations have been insanely slow , we have so many dogs in the rescue needing ongoing medical and we are still drowning in medical and training expenses😭 We always make our fundraising goal less than what we actually need because people are not donating as it is. Reputable rescues really need more financial support! 😢 We simply cant operate without it 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹

Please help us at least reach the goal for Wilma 🥺🙏🏼

She will also be available for adoption. She is amazing with everything dogs , cats , humans of all ages!
