🐾🐄 Meet Lewinda (aka Lewy) – The Beauty with Cow-Print Patches 🐄🐾

Lewinda, lovingly known as Lewy, has been waiting far too long for her chance at freedom. She is the longest resident at a local animal control, and while the staff adore her, a kennel is no place for such a beautiful, smart girl to spend her days. 💔

Lewy got her name because of her adorable cow-like patches, and honestly? We think she’s one of the most unique and stunning dogs you’ll ever meet. Beyond her looks, she’s incredibly bright, full of personality, and more than ready to show a family just how special she is.

She has spent months and months behind kennel walls—watching other dogs come and go, still waiting for her turn. 🥺 All she needs now is someone willing to open their heart and home so she can finally trade concrete floors for cozy ones.

✨ Lewy deserves:
A home where her beauty and brains can shine.
A family who sees past the kennel bars and recognizes how special she is.
The chance to finally be free.

💙 Foster Lewy: Give her the break she desperately needs while she waits for forever. Supplies + vetting are covered, you provide the love.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/foster

💛 Adopt Lewy: Make this one-of-a-kind girl your forever companion.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

Lewy has waited long enough—it’s her time to be chosen. Could you be the one to finally set her free? 🏡

💡🐾 Edison – Still Waiting to Light Up Someone’s Life 🐾💡

Edison has been at animal control so long, we’re starting to think he might be paying rent. 😉 But this 6-year-old, petite-sized gentleman deserves a home, not a kennel.

✨ Why Edison is the total package:
Small but mighty—easy to love AND easy to fit on the couch. 🛋️
Loves people and has the best manners (seriously, true gentleman vibes). 🎩
Open to meeting furry siblings—he’s all about making friends. 🐶🐾
At around 6 years old, he’s the perfect balance of chill + charm.

Edison has been overlooked for far too long, and we can’t figure out why! He’s handsome, polite, and ready to be the light of someone’s life. All he needs now is a foster or adopter to finally give him the chance he’s been waiting for. 💙

💙 Foster Edison:
Short-term, life-saving commitment.
Supplies + vetting covered, love provided by you.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/foster

💛 Adopt Edison:
Lifelong best friend + forever cuddle buddy.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

It’s time Edison traded kennel walls for cozy halls. 🏡✨ Could he be your gentleman?

Do-Over Diaries 📖 New chapters start here - see some of our recent happy “tails”! 🐕

There’s no denying that some days in rescue can be incredibly challenging. However, it’s the heartwarming “tails” of success that make every moment worthwhile! As we conclude another bustling month, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every family who stepped up and said “yes” this month. From our amazing fosters to our wonderful adopters—and even those fosters who became adopters themselves 😝—we truly couldn’t do this without YOU! THANK YOU for choosing adoption and giving an underdog a second chance at life. 💕

🐻❄️ Meet Chuckie – Your Real-Life Teddy Bear ❄️🐻

Looking for the perfect mix of tall, dark, and handsome with just the right amount of cuddly? Meet Chuckie, a 3–4 year old husky mix who’s basically a teddy bear that came to life in dog form. 💙

Chuckie was found as a stray, and while no one came to claim him (their loss, honestly 😏), that just means he’s officially on the market to be the #1 man in your life.

✨ Why Chuckie is irresistible:
Big softie at heart—equal parts majestic husky + snuggly bear.
Gorgeous coat, dreamy eyes, and a smile that’ll melt you.
Ready to be your adventure buddy and your Netflix cuddle partner.
Single, loyal, and available immediately. 😉

Right now, Chuckie is waiting at animal control, but we know he belongs in a home—whether that’s a foster home where he can relax until adoption, or his forever family who won’t ever let him go.

💙 Foster Chuckie: Temporary, supplies + vetting covered. You provide the love.
👉 Apply here: www.roversdoover.com/foster

💛 Adopt Chuckie: Lifelong commitment to the world’s most handsome teddy bear.
👉 Apply here: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

So… who’s ready to swipe right on Chuckie? 🐾💘

👻🐾 Meet Ghost – So Handsome, He’ll Take Your Breath Away! 🐾👻

Do you believe in love at first sight… or should Ghost walk by again? 😉✨

This 4–5 year old German Shepherd is the total package—good looks, a big heart, and just the right amount of mystery (he was found as a stray, after all). Since arriving at animal control, Ghost has been nothing but wonderful with people, winning over everyone he meets with his charm. 💙

🐶 What we know about Ghost:

Drop-dead handsome (seriously, just look at him 😍).
Friendly with people and seems to do well with other dogs.
Happy to do meet-and-greets with potential doggie siblings.
Ready to trade kennel walls for couch cuddles and backyard adventures.

Right now, Ghost is patiently waiting at animal control, but he deserves so much more. We’re looking for either:

💙 A foster home – temporary, all supplies + vetting provided. You give him the soft landing.

💛 A forever home – where this handsome boy can finally settle down for good.

👉 Foster: www.roversdoover.com/foster

👉 Adopt: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

One look at Ghost and you’ll realize… he’s the kind of love story you don’t want to miss. 🏡💫

💔🐾 Still Waiting: Scarlette & Coral 🐾💔

These two beautiful girls, Scarlette and Coral, have been patiently watching as so many other dogs find their forever homes. One by one, their friends and even their littermates have been chosen… but somehow, they’re still waiting.

Scarlette and Coral are everything you could hope for in a companion—sweet, loving, and full of potential. All they need is someone willing to look into their eyes and see the loyal best friend that’s been waiting there all along. 🥹✨

Every day they wait in foster care, they wonder: “When will it be my turn?” 💔

Scarlette and Coral deserve to know what it feels like to finally be home—to curl up on the couch with their family, to go on adventures, and to be loved unconditionally for the rest of their lives. 🏡🐶

Please, help us write their happy ending. Share their story. And if your heart is open, consider making one of them a part of your family.

🌟 Cedar’s New Chapter Begins! 🐾 🌟

We’re excited to share an update on Cedar, the brave pup who’s left his dark and heartbreaking past behind and is starting fresh in an amazing foster home! Our focus is giving him all the time he needs to learn how to be a dog, and he’s already making such beautiful progress. 🐶❤️

Cedar is slowly learning to trust humans and embrace love. This morning, his fosters got him to play with a toy for the first time—a huge milestone! 🎉 The video below captures him really taking it all in as he begins his new life, soaking up every moment of safety and joy. He’s enjoying hanging out with the pack at his foster home, and we’re hopeful they’ll help him discover the fun of being a carefree pup. Cedar is also loving the fenced-in yard—reveling in his newfound freedom!

From the terrified, anxious dog he was on the night of his rescue, seeing Cedar so much more content is truly miraculous. He’s a huge fan of his meals (who wouldn’t be? 😋) and takes his meds and supplements like a champ. We’re counting down to his follow-up vet appointment to see how far he’s come health-wise, and we’ll keep you all posted! For now, Cedar is on medical hold, but once he’s healthy and confident, he’ll be ready to find his forever home. 🏡

🐾 How You Can Help Cedar & Our Other Rescues 🐾

Rover’s Do Over is dedicated to giving dogs like Cedar a second chance, but we need your help to keep going! If you’d like to support Cedar’s journey or the many other dogs starting their “do overs,” please check out our list of needed supplies. Every donation helps us continue this life-changing work.

**Priority needs: Small & medium martingale collars, large dog beds/crate mats.**

💙🐾 Meet Aspen! 🐾💙

Introducing the very handsome Aspen—and just one look into those piercing blue eyes and you’ll be hypnotized into falling in love! ✨

Aspen is a 1.5-year-old happy boy who’s as well-rounded as they come. He currently lives with dogs, cats, and kids and fits right in with everyone. He’s crate trained, housebroken, and ready to transition smoothly into his forever home.

This sweet pup tends to be a bit of a velcro dog—once he bonds with you, he’ll want to stick by your side like glue. If you’ve been searching for a loyal shadow and best friend, Aspen might just be the one.

🏡 Aspen is looking for a home where he can thrive and continue to soak up love and companionship. In return, he promises endless loyalty, snuggles, and those stunning blue-eyed gazes that will melt your heart.

🚨🐾 URGENT FOSTER HOMES NEEDED 🐾🚨

We do not have a facility. The dogs we typically help are sitting at local animal controls with no place else to turn—and we are often their only hope. But here’s the truth: we can only help them with your support. 💔

Right now, there are dogs waiting for someone to step up so they can leave the kennel behind. Without foster homes, we simply can’t say “yes” to them.

✨ What fostering means:

We provide the supplies and cover vetting.
You provide love, patience, and a safe place to land.
Even a short-term foster can completely change a dog’s story.

When you open your home, you’re not just fostering—you’re saving a life. You’re giving a dog the chance to feel safe, to decompress, and to prepare for their forever home. 🏡🐶

🙏 Please, help us continue to be the lifeline for these dogs. Together, we can give them the futures they deserve.

🚨🐾 Adoptable Pup Alert – Meet Thor! 🐾🚨

Thor is an 8-month-old Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix who is ready to take on his next big adventure! This handsome, energetic pup is the perfect companion for someone who understands his breed’s needs and can give him the active lifestyle he craves.

Thor’s ideal home is one where he can run, play, and burn off all that puppy energy until his heart is content. He’s both dog-friendly and people-friendly, making him a great addition to the right family! Thor hasn’t been around cats before, so we’re not sure how he’d do with them.

💙 Still very much a puppy, Thor will thrive in a home that can provide him with structure, training, and plenty of love. In return, he’ll shower you with loyalty, joy, and endless tail wags.

👉 If you’re ready to give Thor his forever home and the adventure-filled life he deserves, apply today at www.roversdoover.com/adopt

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to three incredible young philanthropists: Cleo, Nora, and Danny! Recently, they organized a lemonade stand and raised an impressive $222 for Rover’s Do Over! 🤩 We are truly amazed by their kindness and thoughtfulness, and we cannot thank them enough.

In addition to their remarkable fundraising efforts, Cleo and her family are dedicated foster caregivers for our organization, providing loving homes to dogs in need. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such compassionate and inspiring individuals in our community! 💕 Thank you, Cleo, Nora, and Danny, for making a difference!

🐾✨ Meet Gimli – The Big-Eared, Big-Hearted Boy! ✨🐾

Say hello to Gimli, an adult pit bull/bulldog mix whose personality is just as big as his adorable ears! 🐶💙 With his striking coat and goofy grin, this handsome guy is impossible not to love.

Gimli is an active, energetic boy who’s always ready for the next adventure. He’s the perfect match for a family that loves to get up and go! Whether it’s romping in the yard, going for a hike, or playing tug-of-war, Gimli is your guy. But don’t be fooled—this pup knows how to crash just as hard as he plays. After a good romp, he’s all about the naps and snuggles. 💤🐾

🐶 Why Gimli is awesome:
Loves other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine sibling.
Would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can zoom to his heart’s content.
Equal parts playful athlete and professional napper.
Gorgeous coat + giant ears = pure perfection. ✨

Right now, Gimli is looking for either a foster home to help him transition out of animal control or, even better, his forever family.

💙 Foster Gimli:
Temporary, life-saving commitment.
Supplies + vet care covered by us.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/foster

💛 Adopt Gimli:
Make this big-eared sweetheart your forever adventure buddy.
Adoption includes vetting, microchip, and rescue support.
👉 Apply: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

This boy has so much love (and zoomies) to give—let’s get Gimli out of the kennel and into a home where he belongs. 🏡🐾
