Gizm-oh there's no place like home for the howlidays! 🎄

Gizmo, one half of our Riverside Park duo, has finally landed on all fours (well, sometimes) in his forever home! 🐶

Palmer Township Police Department clearly this is what we mean by the "right side of the law" 🙃 we owe his happy ending to you! 🎅🏻

Our Black Friday is better than that Black Friday 🖤🖤🖤 and we're starting it off with a Big Bang!!

Leonard, Raj and *HOWWAAAAAAAHHHDD* are baby black lab mix puppies, expected to be medium-sized based on Mom's weight (she's a bit trimmer than the real Mrs. Wolowitz 😂)

They are seven weeks old and will be available to adopt with all the core vaccinations and vetting for their ages given!

For one of the cutest pups in the universe 🪐🌌⚛️ visit www.roadtriprescues.com and click Adopt!

🎶 Sleigh my name, sleigh my name!
When Christmas is around us,
rescue needs surround us,
and we ain't playing games!

Sleigh my name, sleigh my name!
We're acting kind of needy
and hope your cash is speedy -
no amount is shamed!

Sleigh my name, sleigh my name!
When on this
you pay a little our way
so we can help the strays!

Sleigh my name, sleigh my name!
Your caring is contagious
and makes our team courageous
to keep us doing the same! 🎶

It's Smol Business Saturday and unfortunately we are starting the day with a package return. 🫤 Sir Charlie is back with us after the canine residents of his adopted family were looking for a much more active playmate. For Charlie, the ideal household is one that enjoys a solid hang out, and is totally good with that being the extent of his participation. One that will embrace him being a hot water bottle, space heater, nine pound Christmas ornament. No need to charge his batteries! www.roadtriprescues.com > Adopt

Thankful for all the hardworking floor sweepers, pre-wash dish cleaners, and quality control taste testers today! 🐶 (Just be sure of course that your butterballs are indulging only in bites safe for dogs - no fat, sugar, salt, raisins, grapes, etc!)

We are nothing without our supporters, so every adoption, every donation, ever foster is a Thanksgiving for us. 🙏🏼

Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful day however they celebrate! 🧡🦃🍽️

Paulie here at Pet Photos with Santa asking Santa Paws for a compassionate furever home 🎅🏻🙏🏻🌠 we're putting the Ho Ho Ho in hospice fostering - not as sad as it sounds, it means we know the pup has a terminal illness (mast cell cancer) which is why he has such a fabulous tail 'do - and we want him to live out his best final days/years in the home he always deserved to have. {Instead of being dumped like a sack of coal with his brother Gizmo}

But hey, we're only going to focus on the positive in this post ❤️‍🩹 like that we will continue to cover his medical expenses for the rest of his happy, stub-waggin' little life 💸

Thankful this Veterans Day and every day 🇺🇸

In honor of Veterans Day, we always like to share one of our favorite paintings, "The Homecoming" by N.C. Wyeth.

As the lone soldier returns home to the family farm, he is met by rural stillness punctuated only by his jubilant dog racing to greet him. The returning infantryman seems almost to hesitate—happy to be home, certainly, but overwhelmed. The faint reluctance of the man’s posture hints at unforgettable experiences. The soldier has dropped his bag, releasing his wartime burden at the threshold of the farm so that he can accept with open arms the life he used to know and the dog running toward him. A man returning to a farmhouse he left as a boy. His burden is at his feet, but it is still with him.

We wish everyone understood the power of a dose (or two, or five) of K-9 🐶 Especially when adoptions are at an all-time slow 😟 but those who know, KNOW! And your local fur-macy is standing by for when you're ready to fill your prescription!

Happy Friday everyone! 😀🐾

Rise and shine for our WFMZ News At Sunrise superstars! 🌞

We were able to tear Paulie and Gizmo, our Palmer Township Police Department pickups from July, away from the greenroom mirror long enough for a much-appreciated segment for Pet of the Month!

We know a lot of you are new here as a result of this morning's segment - WELCOME, and thank you for watching and liking our Page!👋🏼

We are a Lehigh Valley foster-based 501c3 rescue, meaning our adoptable dogs live and love in temporary homes with our wonderful volunteers until they are permanently adopted.

Paulie, the freckled cream spaniel mix, is our hospice foster in search of a home that will allow him to thrive while we manage his mast cell cancer. All medical and food expenses paid by the rescue, so you can just focus on loving him for the months or years he has! A full-length mirror is now a prerequisite for Paulie's future home! And as you can see, he is an active, mobile and happy-go-lucky buddy!

Gizmo, our bottom-teefed treasure, is blind-ish, but prances around like a show dog using his nose and tail to explore and learn! Had no trouble also finding the mirror 🤣 Our Senior Pup adoption fee is $275, and both of these dudes are as up-to-date and rehabbed as much as medically possible - to the tune of $5,000 💸💸💸

For adoption information on either pup, visit our website at www.roadtriprescues.com and click on Adopt - or if you just love and support what we do with these dogs-in-need, you'll find our DONATE tab there as well!

Again, we cannot thank Bo Koltnow and the team at WFMZ enough for this opportunity with your loyal audience!

11/03/2023

Our Palmer Township Police Department "jailbirds" will be making their debut on WFMZ Channel 69 News at Sunrise on Saturday morning! We are extremely grateful to once again be given this platform and audience to get some much-needed exposure for these dogs who have been with us since July.

Catch Paulie (formerly Ed) and Gizmo tomorrow after 7 AM!

They are the keepers of the snack drawers.
The expressers of the a**l glands.
The trimmers of the toe beans.
The huggers during the blood draws.
The historians of the medical records.
The collectors of the hazardous waste.
The preppers in the operating room.
The comforters in the recovery room.

And so much more - all of which we would be nowhere without.

To our wonderful vet techs across our paw print of practices that care for every RTR pup - we celebrate you ALWAYS!

"Josie turned 1 on 9/9/23 and has been with is now for 6 months. She is definitely a cherished member of our family and a *mama’s girl*. I knew as soon as I saw her photo on Road Trip Rescues website that she was going to be my new best friend! Thank you again for allowing us to welcome her home."

This one's for all the Marbles!

Did you know Snoopy had a brother, Marbles?

Yesterday was the 41st anniversary of Marbles' debut in the Peanuts comic, and we low key realized we are currently housing his reincarnation, with the help of Palmer Township Police Department who scooped this spotty beagle mix, along with his pal Gizmo, as the two were on the lam in Riverview Park back in July. (yeah, remember them? Clean up nicely right?)

We renamed him Paulie, and he will be available for adoption soon!

For any Peanuts fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring your favorite comic strip to life in your own home 🐶

Was that a long week or was it just us? 📏📏📏

Speaking of long, the only thing longer than Stubs' ears and legs 🐘🦵 is the length of time he's been in rescue watching every other dog get adopted but him ⏳📆😭 we have some of the happiest hound adopters, they'll let you know what a joy it is to bring one of these pups into a family home!

Suns out, tongues out ☀️😋 it's Stellita Saturday! A medical marvel of sorts, we originally thought she would come to RTR as a hospice dog to live out her last days in liver failure - HOWEVER, after the compassionate care that only folks like our volunteers and veterinary staff can provide, she is now at all-normal levels, without even the need for medication! 🙌 At age 9 (and Thriving), she still has a fabulous life ahead of her with the right adopter!

It's open-window season 🪟🍃🌬️

Stubs, wondering why his own window of opportunity for a furever home hasn't been opened yet 😞 we know our hound lovers will be as disheartened by this as we are. A loyal, mellow, self-entertaining companion. A dog who loves little more than sitting in a yard, listening to birds and crickets, catching a whiff of gardenia or barbecue in the air, occasionally getting up to chase a butterfly. 🦋

He would love a porch, a campfire, a tent, even just a soft patch of grass on an early fall night just to sit and appreciate being with his people.

And if you ever get bored, you can connect the dots on his coonie speckles!

How are so many people passing up this opportunity for a great dog?

Can we get some shares for Stubs please? 🙏

Some of the best business decisions have been made over a beer or two at the local pour house. 🍻 So thank you Fegley's Allentown Brew Works for hosting us last night for 🐾 Yappy Hour with Road Trip Rescues at Fegley's Allentown Brew Works 🐾 and giving us an opportunity to brainstorm on how we can get some more visibility and movement on our adoptable dogs. Like this guy.

So, like Netflix dropping Suits as a new show, we are rebranding this adoptable pup in hopes of also finding him a new audience of potential adopters. Meet "Joey" (formerly Bolt), renamed because we have confirmation* that his DNA mix includes kangaroo. 🦘 🇦🇺
