A children’s book about a #DetroitDogRescue dog near and dear to so many hearts is missing! The draft was on our directors laptop which was stolen. The final book was supposed to benefit #RescueDogs.
That is the top of the story in #Detroit today!
Thank you to @fox2detroit and everyone on the case to find this missing laptop. 💻 👀 🔎
📺 Midge took over the morning news today in Detroit with our director Kristina to talk about our “ONE Week Foster Program”! Our friend Amy Lange Fox 2 , who has her own DDR dog, has all the info on why this program is so important and how it works.
You can foster a dog any time at DDR, but our one week “mini session” runs September 27th -October 4th! Fill out your foster application at DetroitDogRescue.com
🏡 Benefits of DDR’s One Week Foster Program
💰There is no financial commitment to foster. We make sure every dog is medically treated, vaccinated, temperament tested! We even supply food, toys, and other snackos.
🤝SUPPORT! We have foster coordinators who are ready to walk you through the process. So, whether this is your first time fostering, or you’re a seasoned dog sitter, we have people here to help!
📆 No Dumping! We aren’t dumping a dog on you and giving you a hard time when they need to be returned. Your dog’s place will be held and in the event it doesn’t work out -we got you!
🥹 The Best Part! A One Week Foster gives a shelter dog time to decompress. It also gives us more information about how your foster dog likes a home environment. Some dogs have never heard a hair dryer or dishwasher! Desensitizing them to a home helps them become more adoptable.
🛌 Are you in? So are we! Make sure you fill out an application to get your sleepover started. We’re so excited for a big week of sleepovers and all the pictures to come! Let’s do this!

🚨 Our director Kristina Millman-Rinaldi was scheduled to appear on fox2detroit to talk about pet care this morning, but true to Kristina’s personality, she ditched that topic to help a puppy who hasn’t been able to find a home.
At the last second, Kristina called the DDR team to sneak Cody backstage and into the interview. Her plan? This was Cody’s shot to show thousands of viewers that this #DetroitGoodDog deserves a home and family. Of course, our friend Lori Pinson Fox 2 , all the crew, and the producers loved meeting Cody and the interview was extended to talk about preventatives, vaccines and CODY!
If anyone can casually add a dog to live TV it’s Kristina. Thanks for always having fun with us, Fox 2. We’ll keep Kristina on the leash next time. 😂
⭐️ ABOUT CODY 🎥
Cody is a four month old Detroit Good Dog! He’s mostly likely a Pit mix, but has not been DNA tested, and could very well be part, “ Michigan Fluff Nugget”.
Cody LOVES everyone he meets! He’s being fostered with other dogs, is cool with kids, but doesn’t have much experience with cats or small animals.
Cody is eager to please and knows a few basic requests like “sit”.
🦮To meet Cody please fill out an adoption application at DetroitDogRescue.com

🦺 Someone dumped chunks of concrete and debris in the alley behind our shelter. It was too heavy for us to lift by hand. We asked for help on social media and Frank’s Outdoor Services commented they would come get all of it, haul it, and dispose of it in the proper place FOR FREE! There was no charge and they wanted nothing in return. Today, in the rain, the Frank’s team came out to brighten up our neighborhood.
👏Our whole shelter team, our neighbors and the City of Detroit are grateful. When we look for the helpers it proves our world is full of good people, too.
🌷 We are so inspired that we are going to make our entire alley a scent walking trail for our dogs, neighbors and volunteers. We will add scent trail boxes, more light and more gravel. We are going to name the entire alley after, Frank’s Outdoor Services.

🌱 We hope that you’ll support Businesses like Frank’s too! If you need them, give them a call. We can tell you they are some of the best around….and they really love dogs. They’re booking into August now, but what really helps is leaving them a GOOGLE review. Good people should know where to find good people.

The OG DETROIT PIG of Detroit Dog Rescue
🐷Snowball the Detroit pig from 7 MILE got a lot of attention, but if you’re new here, there is actually an O.G. Detroit Pig that we rescued with Detroit Animal Control last summer. “Pigs” now lives on a #farm where Kristina cares for him and he has his own handler. Due to some of his health issues he will remain under our care unless a suitable adopter were to come along. We are not looking for a crowded sanctuary for him as we know, sadly, many #sanctuaries become over capacity and endanger the well-being of some their animals.
🛑 Although all animal lovers may mean well, it’s important to understand that farm animals require different care.
When we rescued Pigs he was abandoned in a backyard and lived on white bread during his first two years in #Detroit. Today he is thriving, loves scent hunts, has his own stall and a beautiful pasture over looking a pond.
Rescuing farm animals isn’t something we normally do, and we don’t recommend any rescue take this lightly. Farm animals and “livestock” require special care, diets and accommodations. Kristina has special training, knows about #PigBehavior and proper habitats. She also has a lot of friends outside of Detroit who specialize in horses and livestock. Pigs’ volunteer full-time handler has experience in horses and pigs!
Pigs has a special #DDR fund that some of our friends created for his medical needs, but if you want to buy this guy dinner, Kristina is always grateful and you can hit up our Venmo- the guy has discovered a lot of different foods and he likes to eat!
📱 Five dollars feeds “Detroit Pig” for the night. Thank you, and thank you to Detroit Animal Control for creating another happy outcome for Detroiters with Detroit Dog Rescue.
