🛁Are you even ready for this glow up?
〰️Remember Moxie?
When you last saw her she was infested with fleas and missing all her fur. She was too scared to face the world and would barely come out for a piece of pizza. Now, our friends at elite_animal_care are fostering MOXI! Today, she had her first spa day! Want to give your pooch a pampering? Give them a follow and check them out. They did this all from the kindness of their heart and they continue to pamper our DDR dogs for free. They take them from fleas to fabulous!
This is the Detroit Dog Rescue difference.
Our team and volunteers are changing the lives of so many fearful dogs - the dogs most give up on.
💌We love you, MOXI!
📫Write MOXI a comment and we will be sure to read it to her. She’s come such a long way.
Today is the day! Come meet some of our Detroit Dogs! We will see you at ancorautomotive in Troy, Michigan!

🚨 RESCUED. This is a side of that we see all too often. This girl was scared and trying to find reprieve in an polish community center. It’s been empty for decades, but by sneaking behind these bars she felt safe from the streets where are often shot at, hit by cars, attacked by other dogs and coyotes. In the winter they freeze to death and can barely find food.
Our team was able to get to her and she is now safe at the Detroit Dog Rescue shelter and receiving vet care. It’s hot today, but the cold weather is around the corner, things are going to get worse here for .
We NEED a vehicle strong enough to handle these streets. Our current vehicle is thirteen years old. The challenge is helping us! If we collect the most in our online portal we will win an additional $25,000. Second place will win $15,000. The caveat is we are up against some tough competition who are much bigger than us. The good news, we are tough and we’ve been landing in the top four spots throughout the challenge, but we are slipping.
Please donate NOW and help us win an additional $25,000! We get to keep all the money that lands in our portal and we aren’t charged a thing to participate.

📊This is an update on your donations in action.

Our director, Kristina Millman-Rinaldi, has spent decades making Detroit (and beyond) a more caring, kind and safer place. Her vulnerability, mixed with her tenacity and endurance, has created better outcomes for Detroit residents, Detroit dogs, those in municipal services, and people all around her.
Kristina has continued to be a catalyst for change right here in Detroit’s neighborhoods, and even through working with Congress to create better outcomes for federal working dogs and their handlers.
⭐️ This week beautifulmachinemagazine named her the “2024 Humanitarian of the YEAR” and she will be honored at the Berry Gordy Mansion later this month.
It is said that Kristina knows someone on every block of Detroit. If something needs to get done you can ask Kristina to make a call. Kristina, thank you for being a friend to so many. We are so proud of you.
Cody is resting up before his big appearance at Library Sports Pub & Grill with our friends from Canine To Five Commerce TONIGHT!
Come see us tonight at 6pm! Kristina and the crew will be hanging out with some adoptable dogs.
Don’t forget to check out Cody’s interview with Kristina on FOX 2 Detroit! He’s the best !
DetroitDogRescue.com
📍 COMMERCE, MI
🚨 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 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
🚨 NEW RESCUE
Left in the middle of the road in .
This little girl is the reason why we need to win the charity challenge this week! If we collect the most donations in our Rocket Mortgage non-profit portal we will win an additional $3500.
That would cover her medical costs.
This tiny, shaking girl, who we named “Coffee” was just rescued in the middle of the road. Please, please help us win the Charity Challenge so we can buy a vehicle that we desperately need. Every year we get knocked out by massive non-profits. This year we are rallying for a new vehicle and we have a chance! Help us win $3500 extra dollars by the end of the week.
*Each non-profit gets to keep every donation made in their portal and we are not charged any fees.

You did it, Diva! This little was thrown out of a car. Her recovery was a bumpy ride, but then, she raced into the hearts of her new parents. Go BE GREAT, Diva!
Thank you to everyone who donated to Diva’s recovery. This is your gifts in action!

We put EVERYTHING into the dogs we rescue and rehabilitate. So, when they get a home it means EVERYTHING to us. Each dog goes home with their own adoption certificate with our signature. They leave with their belongings and a sweet “Go BE GREAT” from the team, but they also leave with one more thing. Each dog leaves here with the power [and an imaginary pen] to finish writing their own story.
When we set out to change their lives, our force-free, psychology based training, never takes their power, it gives them the strength to see they’ve held their own power all along. Sometimes, this happens for their human handlers, too.
Go BE GREAT, Prada. Happy Adoption Day.
We’ve walked you as far as we can go with you. It’s up to you to write the rest of your story….and if you find the time, don’t forget to write to us, too. We’ll miss you.
🔥 Our rescue truck is the life of every rescue we do. From assisting police, to outreach calls, and even adoptions, it drives our mission, but our truck is thirteen years old and dying. We desperately need a new vehicle. The challenge is our only shot at getting a new truck this year. If we don’t, our winter outreach will be significantly impacted.
Detroit is massive we need to be on the move.
This week, if we collect the most online donations through our portal, Rocket will give us an additional $3500 towards a new truck.
Here is the caveat, we’ve never won the Rocket challenge. A large, non-profit always comes in and sweeps the challenge. We are a boots on the ground, grass roots, everyone works, kind of group! If we can just win, we can be on the move to saving more dogs faster.
We’ve contacted every car manufacturer in Detroit, but none of them will help, most of their grant apps are limited to human charities and educational funds. This is our chance at a new truck.
Please donate at the link below. We have a shot to win $3500 this week, BUT the group who collects the most in the end (in two more weeks) wins an additional $25,000! Let’s fill our portal.
Please don’t wait to make your “end of the year”, tax-deductible donation until December when we can use them, and match them, NOW!
Let’s drive!

👑 Regal Romeo and 100% Detroit Good Dog!
This boy has been in foster for so long and he truly deserves a home of his own! I mean, look at him!
Romeo Tail from his babysitter ⬇️
I watched Romeo for a week while his foster family was out of town and he is such a lover. He is so good in the house - loved cuddles and being close to me, using the dog door to sit in the sun when he felt like it, not reactive to people and dogs passing by the window or the yard, a super gentle treat taker and a huge fan of meeting new people.
He is an opportunity snacker and does know how to open a pizza box and take out two slices of pepperoni mid party, but is a conscious guest and wont leave any crumbs behind 😂
❤️ 2 year old neutered male
❤️Dog friendly!
❤️ Loves every human he meets
❤️ Enjoys snuggles and playing around the yard
❤️ Housebroken and knows some commands, but he prefers that you call them requests.
Apply to be Romeo’s forever at :

⭐️ Romeo’s adoption fee has been sponsored by a donation from Steve G. at DC SPORTS!

🚨 URGENT: This tiny, tiny soul came to us with a pr*****ed re**um and he is in excruciating pain. He is with our friends at Greenfield Animal Hospital and going to have surgery, but this is going to be a delicate procedure that needs to be handled with so much care -especially post-op. He’s just so tiny.
We’ve named this little “tough one”, Sharky. His ears have a way of reminding us of fins, but the way he is staying so strong to live reminds us of the resilience of a Shark🦈.
Please help us save Sharky. If you’re not already a monthly donor, please consider making a donation just one time for Sharky. He will need such delicate aftercare. You can donate easily at :

Hi! I’m new here! Got room?
This sweet, discarded dog was brought to our doorstep by someone trying to do the right thing. She was originally found at 7Mile + Lahser. Tonight she is safe with us.
There is a myth that no-kill shelters get to “choose” which dogs they are doing to save. Not here in Detroit. Here in Detroit we are resource and lifeline for residents who have nowhere to turn.
There are so many obstacles in a big city with a dog epidemic. Transportation to the municipal shelter has always been an issue, some residents choose not to go to municipalities for several reasons. One man came to us, because he feared if he went to the police station, he would be fined for old driving tickets. There are so many barriers here in Detroit- even for people who want to do the right thing.
So, we can continue to be a resource for the community in the best ways we know how.
Now, what should be name her?
DetroitDogRescue.com
🚨RECOVERED. Moxie was recovered today from a house where she was abandoned weeks ago. A house too horrific to show, a house full of f***s and other critters. She most likely survived from toilet water and random food she found in the house. There was another dog as well and we will have an update on that dog soon. Imagine what the nights held for her. The sounds of rats, the sounds of rain and storm, unbearable heat and humidity and only the warm water in a toilet for weeks.
Moxie was saved just in time and she needs a lot of help. Considering the heat, storms, bugs and lack of food and water, we are shocked she is still alive.
🚨HELP! Our medical costs are astronomical right now. Please save Moxie by donating at 👇

⛈️ Hi! I’m Cody, but my real friends call me LIGHTNING BOLT! I have a unique stripe on my face and my ears are electrifying. My super power? Well I’m 100% GOOD BOY!
I like everyone I meet. Kids are cool, dogs are cool and cheeseburgers are really good! I spend most of my super hero days putting smiles on people’s faces - it’s hard work, but someone has to do it.
The one thing I don’t have ….a home. 😔
Being different is a gift, I love making people smile, but I really want a family of my own.
Can you be my SUPER PERSON?
Adopt ME!
You can adopt me by filling out an adoption application at DetroitDogRescue.com

She was either thrown out of a car or jumped out of the car and the owners never circled around. Witnesses aren’t sure what happened, all we know is that “Diva” hit the pavement….and she might be pregnant 👀.
We need to get this little, Detroit dog in for medical care asap- it doesn’t look like she’s had much care her whole life.
This is going to take some help, and by help we mean a donation fund for her medical care.
Well Team, let’s help a dog out……

🦺 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. 👉Want to help? Please donate at: VENMO: DetroitDogRescue 🌱 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. Frank’s Outdoor Services 248-721-7757 #Landscaping #Detroit #Michigan #DogWalkers #DetroitDogRescue #DDR #NoKillShelter
🐷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. Venmo: DetroitDogRescue

☘️ Our Director Kristina Millman-Rinaldi was chosen as DETROIT’s HOMETOWN HERO and will be honored with a prominent place in the Detroit St. Patrick’s Day Parade this Sunday March 10th. Kristina’s name will also be solidified in Detroit forever with a brick commemorating her work in Irish Plaza. Kristina has turned the pain of childhood abuse and neglect, and used it to help the animals and residents of Detroit, a place where her family history can be traced back over 100 years. Her family once held the highest positions of gang activity that facilitated bringing alcohol into Detroit during prohibition in the 1920’s. Kristina has used her violent family history as a catalyst to do good for the city of Detroit. Kristina has organized tens of millions in funding for animals and residents, which included a brand new, no-kill shelter in the city. 🦺 Kristina continues to do more good. She is now in the process of leading a team in building a free spay and neuter clinic on Detroit’s east side. “It’s about the dogs, but for me, it’s always been about bringing resources to the people and supporting municipalities and the residents where we can. Detroit Dog Rescue is a dog rescue with a heavy focus on people. That’s what makes us different.” In 2023 Kristina raised the funds to buy the Detroit Fire Department its first ever arson dog and will support the Public Safety Foundation with vet care for the working dog for life. This week, Kristina is actively working with United States Congress to support all federal working dogs through their retirement and has plans to collaborate with Congress to strengthen animal abuse and abandonment laws, including stricter punishments for puppy mill owners. Which leaves everyone asking, when will Kristina run for office? Her answer, “I’m perfectly fine running after dogs for now, but maybe in the next 15 years”. Join us in cheering the entire parade on this Sunday March 10th in DETROIT. #Home
🦴 There are some cases that just tug at my heart. Some cases I know we need to take on, because it’s the right thing to do. ⬇️ Otis came to us after the person he loved most passed away. He’d been living in a house and cared for by neighbors when I saw a post on Facebook pleading for help. Shortly after his arrival, he laid in our parking lot and wouldn’t get up. His heart was broken and his legs hurt him. A broken heart can hurt your whole body. Otis is a 10 year old St. Bernard who tips the scales at 170lbs. A big case for us to take on. Thanks to our Senior Lodge, gifted in honor of Linda Sandercott and Mike Houts, Otis has a place to recover, but he needs a HOME to continue to rest. Otis doesn’t have a lot of time left and we all wish he could find LOVE just one more time. We are looking for a special person, a home with no children or rambunctious pets, where Otis can rest and live out his days…..happy, in the sun and so loved. Please, if you think you can open your home and heart to Otis, fill out a foster or adoption application at DetroitDogRescue.com I’ll do anything to show him he is loved…just one more time.

🎥 ‼️Dumped on camera. This is the sad proof that not every dog will have a home for the holidays. ❤️🩹We aren’t judging you for leaving your dog, we don’t know what you’re going through, but the careless way he was dumped like a heap of garbage has us heartbroken. Watch as the dog follows his owner, off leash with so much trust. They definitely know each other and share a bond. Then, when the owner thinks he’s out of view of cameras, he picks the dog up and dumps him behind the alley into a neighboring yard in the cold. Gadette is now inside our crowded shelter and scared. We are past capacity and in need of help this holiday season for the dogs of #Detroit who can’t speak for themselves.

When our team found Gino, he was covered in bites from other dogs and was surviving by eating what he could find in the trash. We got Gino to our vet to assess how bad his wounds were and get them cleaned up but it was so much worse than what we originally saw. The punctures were deep, all over his body and infection was starting to set in. Gino’s wounds are still healing, but he has come so far. We know he will thrive in a home where he can decompress, nap in the sun, get all sorts of snacks and play with all the toys! Let’s find this good boy a #foster or forever home! You can find more info on Gino by viewing his profile at www.DetroitDogRescue.com/adoptme/gino Not ready to foster or adopt?

The worst case of emaciation we’ve seen, Angel came to Detroit Dog Rescue on the coldest day of the year, clinging to life. Despite everything she endured in the beginning of her life, she never stopped loving people. After spending time getting healthy at a foster home, her foster family decided they couldn’t let her go. Angel was #ADOPTED during the BISSELL Pet Foundation #EmptyTheShelters event and was so excited to have a family of her own. #GoBeGreat, Angel! Want to help more dogs like Angel?
