Our Best Friends Rescue

We are a group of animal lovers who came together through the same passion. We help the innocent animals that have been cast aside and forgotten by society
(77)

We are a group of volunteers who started helping to re-home local animals in need. A few of us got together and started Our Best Friends Rescue so we could work together and be able to save more lives as a group. As time went on we started to grow little by little. Some people stayed, some branched out on their own and so many more came on board to help save the lives of the voiceless. Many animal

s are left in shelters due to changes in life circumstances, they are dumped because their caregiver and companion goes into a nursing home, some other type of facility or passed away and the family doesn’t want to be bothered. Others are dumped because of their age or health. Some are just unwanted, like a gift to someone that didn’t really want a pet, a child where a divorce is happening and the parents want the child to be happy, some are considered an accessory until it needs veterinary care or grooming. Some people just think of them as property. Some only like puppies. We could go on but we think the gist of it is pretty clear. Think of a place where old dogs, sick dogs, abused dogs, abandoned dogs, puppy mill cast offs and unwanted dogs all came together to rest, to learn, to live, to play, to be the dog they were always meant to be but never given the chance. Where food doesn’t need to be fought for or scavenged and love overflows. The only choice they need to make is which couch or dog bed to lay on and which new friend they should choose to smother with kisses. Just a place for dogs to be dogs. To wait in the comforts of a foster home until they can find a family of their own who won’t throw them away when they are old or sick or even dying. To know they are loved for who they are, at this moment, and then to love us in return regardless of their past. To be the model of forgiveness and in return teach us to be better, kinder humans and to always know that even if in a small way we can always make a difference. This is the place we strive to be. This is our mission. This is our rescue. A home for so many souls other humans have discarded and we can’t imagine life without them. Some of the dogs we take in are severely handicapped and have no other chance but us. These dogs are considered permanent foster pups. Unless an adopter is specifically looking for a special needs dog and are stellar in every way these dogs stay with us for the rest of their lives. Some of the animals come in for nothing more than hospice care and to have a place to rest their heads for the remainder of their days while being loved and nurtured. When their time comes to cross the bridge we stay right by their side. No creature should have to pass alone and frightened. We advocate against cruelty, neglect, backyard breeders, puppy stores and other issues that cost animals their lives. We also advocate for local low cost spay and neuter so that we can alleviate unwanted litters, as well as advocating for low cost euthanasia so that when a person on a fixed income has to let go of their precious companion, a heartbreaking experience at best, they don’t have to leave them in a shelter to be put to sleep on a metal table under blaring fluorescent lights with strangers who don’t care a lick about them. So in looking back on this mission we all take so seriously and are so passionate about, it’s about love. Love for the ones who can’t help themselves. They are the ones that we stand for. It’s because once you’ve seen how cruel people can be you can never unsee it. So on we go.

🇺🇸 Did you know......
Today there are more than 2,000 dogs on active duty with American military forces. They may serve in combat, protection, and search and rescue, but their greatest talent is their ability to sniff out explosives. No matter how sophisticated a man-made device may be, it cannot out-perform a dog’s nose, which has an average accuracy rate of about 98%. There are countless members of the U.S. military, past and present, who owe their lives to a dog’s sense of smell. 🇺🇸

Today's Happy Tail was especially sweet. Former adopters who recently lost their sweet Lily Bae, who was an favorite of the rescue, and they were so sad without her and her corgi antics, saw our Cassie gurl and kinda fell in love. They gave our Lily an amazing life and as all rescue pups do, she guided momma and daddy to rescue another in her memory.
We can never replace a pup that goes to the bridge, but we can honor them by opening our hearts to another in need.
Many thanks to Tracy, who got 90 days in fb jail, you are a matchmaker extrordinare! Love you! And huge thanks to Deb for fostering this beautiful cardi girl ❤

Sometimes Happy Tails take a bit longer. Ruby aka Magenta was very patient and Ruby's tale is exactly what we pray for! This pretty senior puppo had no interest and then BOOM pawfection came along. She will help her new mommy's heart heal and she will be pampered and loved for the rest of her life ❤️
Thanks to our volunteer Kelly for always stepping up to foster our weirdos and seniors 😘

Happy Tail for Bori fka Jellybean fka Elle

This is a Happy Tail brought to you because someone chose to foster. Fostering is one of the most important jobs in rescue!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fernando (sing it ABBA)
Well here I am, going from sad to joyful! I was once alone in a shelter and then the crazy ladies saved me!!!!!! They found someone to foster me in CT and I rode all the way from Texas to get to them! Then, as if it was fate, they fell in love with me almost in seconds (I mean what's not to love? I'm crazy cute!)
So here's my Happy Tail! I am a very lucky boy because someone stepped up to foster me

This beautiful boy came to us this weekend. He's doing well and is so sweet. He's seeing the Vet next week and we will get him all healthy and find him the perfect home. Such a loving boy. I will never understand the cruelty humans are capable of. Dewey is perfection.
Thank you to all the people that took part in saving Dewey and thanks to The Stumpy Brigade for making this heartbreaking but touching video for our boi

So here we have Norman fka Fella's Happy Tail. This little nugget never even made it to FB or the adoption siites! Kim Caruana posted him on the OBFR Volunteer page and my friend and volunteer saw him and it was love at first site!!!!! So he has now found his furever fam and has a Chi sisfur and other puppos to play with, the entire family loves him and he will be spoiled and adored until the end of time!
Impulse buys are never good. Covid lockdowns caused many of them. His people did the right thing by him in giving him to a rescue at 8 months old instead of thinking they could keep him locked up and alone because the cat wanted to kill him. He is by far one of the sweetest puppos I have ever met. His tummy issues have been addressed and he is now a healthy and very happy little boy.
Thank you Patti for seeing him and falling in love
