Good afternoon Rota military community!

I know we usually post a wishlist Wednesday but right now we're running very low on PURINA PROPLAN PERFORMANCE 20/30 dry food, which is the brand we've found works best for Ranger, our massive mastiff. Because of Ranger's size and the poor condition he was in when he came to RAWL, we have to be careful about what we feed him and this specific food has proven to work best for putting weight on without upsetting his system. It's also readily available at the commissary.

We are immensely grateful for any and all donations but if you have the ability to drop off some of this specific dry dog food, I know Ranger would basically be your best friend forever.

Hercules is, as the kids say, a BIG MOOD.

Mondays are rough but dogs make them slightly more bearable! Especially a dog like Hercules, who so eloquently expresses that bone-deep existential angst and who also makes funny noises when he eats.

Hercules is a ten-year-old German Shepherd who would love to find a forever home where he can help make every day a little less gloomy for his new family. If you're interested in meeting Hercules or any of our available animals, please message us here on Facebook or email us at [email protected]

Roses are red
Scooter's here lazing
Adopting a cat
Sounds pretty amazing!

Eh. Okay. I was never all that well known for my poetry skills. But you should still consider adopting a cat! Like Scooter! Scooter is eight months old and he's super playful and affectionate. He would love to find a family who, poetic or not, will appreciate his lazing skills and give him a forever home!

If you'd like to meet Scooter or any of our available animals, send us a message here on Facebook or email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment. Or stop by this Sunday, February 9th, from 1-3 for our special Valentine's Day Open House!

Please say hello to BENTLEY!

Bentley is RAWL's newest resident and he'd really like his stay here to be brief. Bentley is a seven-year-old terrier mix and he's looking for a new family with as much energy as he has! Bentley is friendly and active and would do best in a home where he can be the center of attention. He gets along with kids and cats and most other dogs and he'd make an amazing workout buddy or running partner.

If you're interested in meeting Bentley or any of our available animals, please send us a message here on Facebook or email us at [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY!

It's that time of week again! RAWL is entirely reliant on the generosity of the Rota military community when it comes to providing the necessary supplies for our residents and we are incredibly grateful for every single donation.

After consulting with the our vets, we have found that our dogs tend to do better when they have a fairly consistent diet as far as brand and so we are asking specifically for Purina because that seems to work best for all of them at the moment. We understand that asking for a specific brand may seem a bit picky but we are doing our best to keep our residents as healthy as possible while working with what the commissary generally has available.

Every little bit helps and we are thankful to everyone who donates in whatever way they can. If you prefer to send a monetary donation, you can find our PayPal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RotaAnimalWelfare

Thank you again for your generous support! We couldn't do this without you.
