🐾 A heartfelt thank you to our amazing adopter, Brittani Alyssa Röltgen , for her generous donation! And her wonderful employer, Creoal Consulting , for matching her donation! 🌟 Your kindness has touched our furry hearts and strengthened our mission to give every pup a loving home. 🏡

In the face of challenging times, your support has been a beacon of hope. 🌈 Despite our passion and dedication, the struggle to find forever homes for our furry friends continues. Adoptions have slowed down, leaving us with over 20 dogs patiently waiting for their turn to cuddle up in a loving family. 🐶💖👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

While we're currently unable to take in more dogs, your support helps us continue to provide the precious pups in our care. 🙏 Our commitment remains unwavering, and your support fuels our determination to make a difference.

🐕💕 Together, we can make tails wag and create brighter tomorrows. Thank you for being the heroes these dogs need! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

As most of you know, our organization is now operating in both Texas and California. We need fosters in both the San Antonio, Texas area and the Kern County, Bakersfield area. We were so proud of the number of animals we were able to save with our limited resources as a new rescue last year but those numbers now look minuscule compared to the number of pleas for help we receive. If you are interested in fostering, please go to https://linktr.ee/FF4LRESCUE and click "Apply to Foster" We are willing to pull any dog/pup that you are willing to foster.

Don't be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution!
1) I could list the many reasons for spay/neuter but honestly it deserves its own post. For now i will just say that hundreds of dogs are euthanized in our county every month. We do not need to add to that problem with more puppies.
2) Making sure your dog is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed/neutered is a great start to being a responsible pet owner. Don't lapse on your dog care though! Keep microchip information updated, keep vaccinations updated, provide flea/tick treatment, do yearly vet check-ups. Make sure your yard is safe and secure. Keep a collar, tags, and a leash on your pet when out. Be the shining example of responsible pet ownership for others!
3) Adopt from a shelter or rescue and save a life. Buying a dog from a backyard breeder or taking a free dog from an "accidental" litter only encourages more breeding. Bankrupt the backyard breeders by refusing to buy. Don't take that free puppy, recommend the owner to surrender pups to rescue. Our rescue and many others offer free spay of the mother when the pups are surrendered, putting an end the the cycle of "accidental" litters.
4) Maybe you can't make the 10-20 year commitment to a pet. By fostering, you can be a temporary refuge to a pet in need. Fostering is a key stepping stone in a dog's journey to their furever home.
5) Did you know you can volunteer in more ways than just cleaning up after pups? You can volunteer to manage social media, to fundraise, to help out with accounting, to give pets rides to the vet. Use your own unique talents to help out where you can.
6) Donations come in all forms. Used beds, crates, toys, & blankets are always great donations. Maybe you don't have money or items do donate, but you have a business or special talent. You can donate a coupon/certificate for your business to be used in fundraising raffles. The possibilities are endless.
7) Share posts from your local shelters/rescues to promote animals looking for homes. Educate those around you about what it takes to be a responsible pet owner and why it is so important.

💧Water Baby Update💧

We are accepting applications for the water babies! Each pup has a very distinct look & adorable personality ❤️ The boys, Rio & Hudson, are neutered and just waiting for rabies shots (next week). We are still trying to raise money for the girls, Laguna & Sprinkles, to get their spays & hernia repairs.

The scariest holiday of the year is coming up - not Halloween, the 🎆Fourth of July!🎆Due to loud fireworks, more dogs go missing on July 4th than any other day. Microchips are an amazing recovery tool, but unfortunately, because of yearly fees and confusing platforms, over 50% of microchips are unregistered, which is like having an unengraved ID tag on your collar.

We've partnered with Fi to offer 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 and updates to all - and when you register via the following form, you will be entered to 𝒘̲𝒊̲𝒏̲ 𝒂̲ 𝑭̲𝒊̲ 𝑮̲𝑷̲𝑺̲ 𝒄̲𝒐̲𝒍̲𝒍̲𝒂̲𝒓̲ 𝒂̲𝒏̲𝒅̲ 𝒐̲𝒏̲𝒆̲ 𝒚̲𝒆̲𝒂̲𝒓̲ 𝒔̲𝒖̲𝒃̲𝒔̲𝒄̲𝒓̲𝒊̲𝒑̲𝒕̲𝒊̲𝒐̲𝒏̲, the perfect pairing to a microchip!

🌟"Pro" Pet Tip #5🌟

● Protect your pups paws from hot asphalt and concrete!
● Asphalt get 40-60 degrees hotter than the outside air temperature.
● If you are able to, carry your pup to shady, grassy, or indoor areas.
● If you are unable to carry your pup, look into buying some shoes for your pup or even a dog stroller.

🌟Life Tip🌟 Featuring Bandit (available for adoption)

• Always keep a pup or two in kitchen when cooking.
• Pups are better than roombas when it comes to cleaning up crumbs.
• ⚠️ Warning: Tall pups may be able to reach counter tops & steal your dinner. Never leave tall pups unattended around your dinner.

🌟"Pro" Pet Tip #4🌟

• Test your pup for worms and parasites every six months.
• Dewormer is harsh on your pups tummy, so don't use it if you don't have to.
• Test for worms & parasites before your scheduled vet appointment! Ares 6 month check up is going to be a month later than it should be but I'm not sweating it because I've already collected a sample, mailed it off to the lab, and received his results! Parasite & Worm Free!
Visit Mysimplepetlab and order your home testing kit. They also have a skin & itch test, along with an ear infection test!
