😭 Summer is just really getting started and apparently so is puppy dumping season.

Sensei was abandoned earlier this week, tied to a tree and left in the woods with no food or water in the heat of the Texas July sun. 😡

Thankfully, a kind human stepped up to foster her and said YES to her arrival late in the evening with no experience and a willingness to help.

We can barely catch our breath with the rate we’re going right now and the calls are nonstop.

“A family moved out and left 3 dogs — can you help?”
“There’s a pregnant mama about to burst but everyone is scared of her. Can you come get her?”
“Someone dumped a mama and pups in a field near me. What do I do?”

These are all actual messages just in the last 24 hours alone.

With all nearby shelters, not just Austin, now BEYOND max capacity with the floods — the dumping is worsening by the minute.

Help us keep going. We can’t save them all, but we can sure try.

😡 Who does this?!

Who wakes up and thinks “ya know what a good idea for my day is? Dropping an entire litter of puppies off at a dog park, in 100°, just before a massive storm.”

Well someone did just that today. 🤬

Meanwhile, someone else said hell no, and loaded his car full and has an entire kitchen full of puppies for us overnight. 😭

The good, the bad, the up, the down, the losing all faith in humanity and gaining it back again in a split second — that’s street dog rescue.

Tonight, they are safe and now we are in desperate need of 7 kind humans, or less if you would like to take two or three!, to open their homes to foster this crew.

So far, everyone is very sweet and gentle. We are sure that they would be easily adaptable in any home environment at this point in their lives.

With the recent horrific Central Texas floods, all local physical shelters, who were already maxed out and closed to intake, are now bursting at the seams with flood dogs. There is literally no place to take these animals which means the dumping will increase worse than it already is and our jobs will become 10x the workload. 😫

If there was ever a time, NOW IS THE TIME TO FOSTER!

✅ UPDATE: wishlist fulfilled!! Thank y’all so much!!

🫣Ready or not, NINE puppies are coming any day now. (Maybe even any minute!)

Mama Penelope is starting to pant and lick more, and we know we don’t have much time to get things ready for her.

We are working to get all supplies in order for this summer’s most unexpected rescue - a dumped pregnant doodle + imminent litter🫠

🙏Can you help us get stocked up?

Got plans this weekend? 🤔

Jethro says “well, you do now!” 📆

Swipe to see some of the face you’ll get to meet…
Saturday Jun 28
10am to 1pm

In partnership with fellows rescues and shelters across Austin, it’s “Name Your Own Adoption Fee” weekend! Any dog that gets adopted from an inquiry from this event gets tallied for the total! 🐾

Note: No on-site adoptions will be happening. You can meet our pups and then submit an app or chat with our team & we can match-make you to one of our many pups who may be a fit for you and your home!

Not in the market to adopt? Please still swing by & join us! You can meet our team, learn about fostering with us, meet some of our vet staff as well as some of our adopted pups that you, our community, helped save! 🫶

Can’t wait to see y’all 👏

Discarded like trash to be someone else’s “problem to deal with.”

Mama Penelope was found hidden in some bushes off a busy road trying to make herself as small as possible. 😭

Our team went out and scanned her for a microchip, but unsurprisingly she doesn’t have one.

With no one looking for her, and very clearly pregnant, we secured a safe foster home for her to start to heal and have her pups without any danger around her. 🥹

Today, she’s heading to the vet for her intake exam & to find out what’s cooking in that belly. 🫠

Can you help us cover her care?🙏

🚨 We need HELP! 🚨

We are drowning in medical care right now. We have SO many dogs in need from new (pregnant😭) intakes, to long stays with cancer diagnoses, heartworm dogs to general care — it’s nonstop.

We have to pay down our medical bills & refill our medical fund to be able to continue being able to say YES when the calls come in for those who need us most.

As a reminder, we are fully volunteer run, we get $0.00 from the city’s $18M animal services budget, but our team works 24/7/365 doing their job.

🏡Long term foster or foster-to-adopt needed for the world’s cutest duo! (Can be separated)

We introduced you to Phil + Lil a couple months back when they were pulled out of rush hour traffic & into the safety of a team member’s backseat.😭

These two are the absolute BEST. Crate trained, potty trained, about 6mths old. Happy as can be and love everyone they meet.🫶

They have gotten rave reviews from their fosters who are travelling this summer or else they would be staying put!💙

➡️If you or someone you know can open you’re home to Phil & Lil, sign up to foster: bit.ly/fosterforTRAPRS
