🗓️ It’s !
When Winnie came into our care she was completely shut down and scared of the world around her. She wouldn’t come out of the decompression room, she crawled on her belly to get away, and she didn’t want to look at anyone. She avoided the whole world out of fear.

Her foster has worked incredibly hard with her for over a year and today is wearing , loves to chase tennis balls, and is working so hard to learn how to “dog”.

Winnie is still a work in progress, but she deserves a chance. She needs a for life who can commit to her growth.

Here is what her foster had to say…

She’s always going to be a nervous and curious girlie, but every day she makes progress.

Why you’ll love her:
💛 Her face is cute and funny
💛 She’s soft as velvet
💛 Potty trained
💛 Loves walks + car rides
💛 Goofy and cuddly

Why she’s still waiting:
⚡ On behavior (anxiety) meds
⚡ Needs a home with no cats
⚡ Dog selective, needs slow intros

She’s ~5 years old, sweet as can be once she trusts you, and happiest up by your side.

If you’re looking for a friend to grow with, and would like to meet Winnie, please fill out an adoption application at: DetroitDogRescue.com

🚨 SAFE! Meet Marvin.
This boy can look intimidating, but once he realized he was going to be safe and happy at DDR, he was all hugs and wiggles for our team. *He is also easily enticed with a little rotisserie chicken.
Marvin is now at our shelter, but we are a FULL HOUSE with many dogs needing medical care -including Marvin. If you can, please consider an end of the year, tax-deductible gift at:

🗓️ NOVEMBER IS ADOPT A SENIOR MONTH!

Jasmine lost her last her owner due to a death In the family and she’s once again looking for a forever home.

Here is what her foster has to say:

“Jasmine wants to be your BEST FRIEND! She would go with you anywhere you wanted, does great in public, loves other dogs, is great with kids, loves the car, she'd be an exceptional emotional support pup because all she wants to do is hang out with you! Her morning walk is mandatory, and she will let you know when it's time. She takes her meds like a CHAMP! She's a big fan of a nap, a cozy bed, and a heat vent. Loves wearing her little hoodie, and has the cutest little salt and pepper face.”

Jasmine - 10yo “mix”, dog, cat, and kid friendly (all ages)!

🏚️Pregnant and roaming the steets for weeks. Residents said no one would come out for this dog. We were in the area and promptly came to check on this scared, but very sweet, girl. She is now with us at Detroit Dog Rescue and we’ve named her Trinity. Her cropped ears and a few scars show she’s had a tough start, but it’s only up from here TRINITY!

❄️ We need some help. The weather has been dropping and the calls for help will only become more urgent. Trinity needs medical care. Please help by making an end of the year, tax-deductible donation at DetroitDogRescue.com

Right now, we have a $1,500 donation match this week from the Alex Burnstein Memorial Fund to help Trinity! In Alex’s memory we can create a better outcome for Trinity.

❄️ RESCUED! In need of FOSTER!
This stray was so cold and injured so he found an empty dog house and made himself a place to get out of the wind. Thankfully, a kind resident asked for help. Detroit Dog Rescue answered the plea.
The dog we are naming “Eeyore” is very sad, but he’s also sick. He’s having some intestinal issues, he’s starving to death, and he has a large wound on one leg. As the weather got colder he was just trying to survive.

We will need funds to cover his extensive medical expense and we are desperate for a foster. It is unknown if he does well with dogs or cats at this time.

🚮Another perfectly good dog by Puritan Avenue. Witnesses watched as he was let go. With food crisis, increased housing costs and evictions we are seeing many more dogs in need of help. When owners are down to their last day of evictions, with nowhere to go, sometimes they feel their dog has a better chance of “making it” by dumping them by abandoned houses or fields. A lot of dogs are left behind in homes.

This is an issue that leaves a variety of feelings frustration, anger AND empathy. We are doing the best we can and taking in a lot of dogs.

We need an immediate foster for this boy who we named PURITAN. One day he had a home and the next day….he didn’t.

Our need for medications, antibiotics, eye drops, Heartworm tests and preventatives is at an all time high. Aside from spaces for dogs, we need help with medical costs. Detroit Dog Rescue does not receive any city or state funding.

Please help us through another week of rescue.
Please consider an end of the year, tax-deductible donation. Detroit Dog Rescue is a 501c3 and Detroit’s FIRST No-Kill shelter.

🚨 EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED ASAP! 🚨

🔦The crew has been out all day and is still out tonight in the dark! This is LAHSER! He’s just a big, baby, puppy who was rescued today.

💥 🐕 He was emaciated when he was first spotted on…you guessed it, LAHSER. With cars going 90mph sometimes, LAHSER was in danger of being hit. So, a wonderful resident has been feeding LAHSER, and after pleading for help with everyone, she came to us! We swooped LAHSER up today and we are a full house after rescuing many others today too.

✔️LAHSER was doing well with other dogs, he’s about five months old and has even met kids. Right now, LAHSER is being examined and medically treated. We NEED to line up a foster NOW for this tall guy! Look at those legs!

If no fosters are found we will contact the Detroit Pistons to see if we can get him on the team. 🏀

🦃 No, seriously, who wants to feed this fluff nugget for Thanksgiving and help him find his way to a new home?

🏡 Interested in fostering, foster-to-adopt, or adoption? Please start by filling out a foster application at DetroitDogRescue.com

🏥 We are also looking for help to medically treat LAHSER. If you can throw us a 🦴 bone 🦴 we would appreciate it.
