💡 Creating solutions at DDR! Vito found Debo on the street on the way to work yesterday. Every shelter is beyond capacity due to the cold weather. Vito was eager to foster Debo, and possibly adopt him after his stray hold, but they needed a vet so Debo could receive care right away. Our veterinarian provided Debo with an intial exam and care to keep Debo healthy, in a foster home, and out of a shelter!

Providing medical care, foster programs, adoption programs, and alternatives to euthanasia for space are just a few programs we provide every day.

Every shelter is telling residents they are full unless a dog is pregnant or critically injured. It seems most of the time these are the stories that bring in donation dollars on social media. However, intervening and creating positive outcomes BEFORE animals become critically injured is truly the most humane option when It comes to rescue. Too many dogs In need are being turned away, because their story can’t be sensationalized. It’s sad and unethical.

Our new veterinary program is in need of supplies! Medications, critical antibiotics, Heartworm preventative and treatment are just a few things we constantly need.

Please help by donating today, because our match from the Alex Burnstein Memorial Fund is still happening for donations up to $5,000!

If you can, please make an end of the year, tax-deductible donation at DetroitDogRescue.com

🗓️ 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:
