A heartfelt thank you to Lori and the students at serenityequestrian for their generosity this holiday season. At their Christmas party, they kindly asked for donations to support our rescue, and we are deeply grateful to have been the recipient of their incredible kindness. Your support makes a meaningful difference—thank you!”

Half sold out… thank you!!! Updated picture of what’s available!

We have a small amount of merch left from a few of the fundraisers we have done this year. We're really hoping to have the end sold off ASAP.... mainly so we can recoup our out of pocket expenses, and secondly so our volunteers don't have to haul it around anymore 😁

These items would make fantastic Christmas gifts!!!

Cuppers Coffee $20/bag- 1 decaf, 2 ground
T-Shirts $40ea- 2XL and 3XL
Hoodies- SOLD OUT (thank you)

Pickup west or south, we may be able to have a volunteer deliver. Payment can be made via, cash, etransfer, or credit card. Please comment below to purchase and one of our volunteers will reach out to arrange payment and delivery!

Thank you for supporting our rescue!!

This , They Need You More Than Ever

This has been our busiest year yet. More dogs than ever are relying on us for rescue, medical care, and a second chance. But while the demand for help is up, donations are down—and the costs to care for these dogs have never been higher.

Every dog deserves a chance at a happy life, and with your support, we can make that possible.

💙 Here’s how you can help:
🐾 Donate: Even $5 can make a big difference. Every dollar goes toward food, medical care, and shelter for the dogs who need us.
🐾 Foster: Open your home temporarily and help a dog in need.
🐾 Volunteer: From hanging out with the dogs to organizing events, your time can save lives.
🐾 Donate supplies: Gently used supplies like leashes, toys, and beds make a world of difference.

Together, we can save lives. If you can’t give money, consider donating time, supplies, or love by fostering. Every little bit helps us continue our mission.

Thank you for being part of this lifesaving work. 🐶💜

👑 Introducing: Franny 👑

Franny is an adult poodle mix who has a big personality packed into an itty bitty frame. 🔬

This loveable pint-sized princess has been getting a confidence makeover and showing her foster family what a fun little gal she can be. New people can still be pretty scary and she doesn’t love being picked up, but gaining her trust will get you the sweetest snuggles. 🥰

So far, Franny is happy to join in on playtime with her foster family’s resident dog and does really well with the kids of the house. In fact, she seems to prefer the little humans when it comes to cuddle time, leaving the adults to look on with envy. It may take a bit of time for Franny to get comfortable but the gift of her tender heart is well worth the wait. 💝

If you are ready to be little Franny’s special person, visit our website www.windycitycaninerescue.com and follow the process on our Adoptions page.

Another way to support both the dogs already in our care as well as the future pups in need is to participate in our current fundraiser through West Coast Seeds. Put in your seed orders here:

🔹🔶 Introducing: Dixie 🔶🔹

Dixie is an adult poodle mix who is ready to find her human and perhaps even a friend or two as well. 🐾🐾

Although she may come off as a bit nervous at first, once Dixie settles in, out comes the playfully curious little girl she is. Dixie loves a bit of yard to show off her zoomies and a good toy that is ready to be expertly squeaked. After she is done showing off these undeniably impressive talents, she is ready to prove to her people that she is also gifted in the art of snuggling. 💕

So far, Dixie has conquered potty training and is coming along nicely with her crate training. She really enjoys the company of other playful dogs while remaining unfazed by the presence of cats. With her gentle, loving nature, Dixie will certainly put the “sweet” in “Home Sweet Home” for some lucky person. 🏡

If you think Dixie is the perfect pup to complete your family, visit our website www.windycitycaninerescue.com and follow the process on our Adoptions page.

🌱 Introducing: Ellie 🌱

This little adult Bichon mix has been on a journey of self-discovery. Surprisingly, she has discovered that she is, in fact, a dragon whose life purpose is to lay on her horde of toys and all vaguely toy-adjacent household treasures. 🐉

Ellie has come a long way in her foster home. She is still in the process of building confidence and figuring out how to actually be a dog but she is slowly discovering the little joys in life. We believe she would do best in a quiet, patient home where she can have the time and support she needs to finish blossoming. 🌸

Since the outdoors is still a bit scary for this cutie, potty training is still a work in progress. So far, she doesn’t seem to be too interested in having canine companions and really doesn’t ask for much. Her timidity means that cuddles aren’t quite her thing at the moment but that soft fur, those big, beautiful eyes, and her sweet demeanour are all just waiting for that special person to win her over. 🥹

If you think you could be the perfect human for this gentle gal, visit our website www.windycitycaninerescue.com and follow the process on our Adoptions page.

Another way to support both the dogs already in our care as well as the next pup in need is to participate in our current fundraiser through West Coast Seeds. Put in your seed orders here:
