The pup pictured in this post was previously known as ROBIN here in Texas. He and 3 of his brothers went to Save-A-Bull Rescue on our August Transport.

Check out the adorable picture & video in the comments of the original post. He is growing up to be so handsome! We love to see our Texas pups thriving up north! 😍

SAB accepted these brothers into their program because Mom was a pittie and we figured they'd look kinda like her when they grew up... but instead, Dad's genes were so much more dominant. Please give this post a share to help increase visibility for folks that would love to add such a cute pup to their family but wouldn't necessarily look at a bully rescue to find him.

⭐️ NOTE: We're sorry we missed the opportunity to highlight that today was Minnesota's big fundraiser day... GIVE TO THE MAX. We are so grateful for all our rescue partners and want to encourage support for ALL of them.

So if you feel called to give, it's not too late... just look up the page of the rescue you want to support, and follow the links they provide in their posts.

Thank You for your support of the work we do hand-in-hand with our beloved rescue partners in Minnesota and Wisconsin. ❤️💜💚

DOG SPOTLIGHT: Meet Court!

Court is just a big puppy looking for a special family to spend his life with!
He loves toys and frolicking in the yard, and has become quite the adaptable pup thanks to the thoughtful, consistent support of his foster family who has prioritized his socialization and independence!

He gets along well with other dogs, adapting his play style by learning their cues, positively feeds off the excitement of children, and even had a successful encounter with a cat!

Court could thrive in a variety of environments and by sharing this post or making a gift today, we can make sure his people find him!

Today we had a triple FREEDOM RIDE for these cuties, busting them all out of the shelter and getting them to their foster homes as they await transport to their futures. Thank You Second Chance Animal Rescue for saving these furry friends and giving them the opportunity for loved lives up north!

Welcome FROST, STORMI and SNOW!

If you are in the Twin Cities Minnesota area and are interested in snagging one of them as a Foster or potentially Adopting a new member of your family, get your applications in today! They'll be arriving in Minnesota on Sunday, December 7th and will be ready to snuggle their way into your hearts.

A big Thank You also to our amazing transport drivers DOUG and STEVE for making this freedom run today! 😇😇

Check out this reunion of sisters in Wisconsin! Lucky now named CANNOLI is a Parvovirus survivor that went north on our June Transport earlier this year as a 4 a month old puppy. Riley, now named MATILDA, is her big sister that went through Heartworm treatment here in Texas before heading north last month. They were both surrendered by their breeder in Texas, and now they are both adopted and enjoying amazing new lives up in Wisconsin with their loving families and new canine friends.

Love this update so much. Thank You Circle Of Souls Animal Rescue for rescuing them both!

These pups were part of a litter of seven being given away for free in a rural area outside of Dallas. One of the regular fosters for PJ's Rescue saw the post and asked if they could help. By the time they got there, 3 had already been given away. We know these four pups are very lucky to land with such a great rescue group, and will get amazing homes in Minnesota. We can only hope that the other three landed in safe responsible homes. 🤞🙏

Their Mom was a stray that is now again on the loose. We are hoping she turns up again soon so we can help get her spayed, as well as Dad dog neutered, through our SPAY-IT-FORWARD program... so this will be the last litter of unwanted dogs they will add to the world.

Please welcome JENNY J, ODIN, LUKE and LAURA to Rescue. They are so cute! Thank You to their Foster homes for seeing them, saving them, and giving them safety, love, and a future!

Almost nothing beats the sweetness of a pup feeling safe and loved in their foster home.

Thank you Lisa for not only transporting this beautiful family from the shelter to their foster home this week, but for taking these videos and photos so we could share with everyone a glimpse into what saving a shelter pup can look and feel like.

Thank You PJ's Rescue for saying Yes to this Mama and her babies. Thank You to the staff and volunteers at Mesquite Animal Shelter for all the love and care you give the animals, and for your dedication to networking them for rescue & adoption. Thank you to our Foster Homes for opening their hearts and homes to bridge these precious souls to their new lives.

We're so grateful for this village of people who makes a positive difference in the lives of pets in need.

Mid-week PSA: For all those who are not aware, most U.S. Shelters are currently overflowing with beautiful, amazing, loving, highly adoptable dogs and cats that are in need of homes. Many of them will lose their lives while waiting, because their kennel space is needed for the next dog or cat coming in as an owner surrender or having been found stray or abandoned.

Please choose to adopt your next furry family member.

We just received The Most Amazing update about LILY, who waited in a rural Texas shelter for 8 months before she was chosen by our friends at Carver Scott Humane Society in January. Our hearts feel so full hearing how things ended up for this sweetheart, and words can't express our gratitude for these kinds of updates. We send our heartfelt Thanks to her new family for sharing a glimpse into her adoption story and new life. This was so beautifully written that we're just going to share it all, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did...

"Thanks for asking about sharing Lily’s story update! I was really excited to have found your page as I know it must be tough to care for so many sweet souls and know you might never hear about their new lives after they leave you.

My husband and I actually volunteer at Carver Scott Humane Society. We used to have three kitties and still have two that we adore (Willie & Olive), but we lost our sweet cat Walter last year. After a lot of thought, we decided to consider adopting a dog. I saw Lily’s photo in an ad for an adoption event that CSHS was hosting and her sweet face caught my attention.

We set up a visit with Lily and her foster family at our home a few days later. When her fosters brought Lily into our house, they marveled at how relaxed and comfortable she was with us right away, as she typically has some stranger fears. We all took this as a good sign. The other sign? Her fosters had a collar on Lily that night that had belonged to their beloved pup that had also passed away last year. The name on that collar was, believe it or not, Walter. ❤️

We’re now about 8 months into having Lily in our family. You described her as fun-loving and that couldn’t be more accurate! She has two settings: 110% and unconscious. 😂 While our cats enjoy observing Lily from a distance, they’re not yet convinced they want more; Lily still tries to get them to play every day, undeterred. Luckily, she gets tons of interaction with other dogs since we live within a few minutes of two fantastic dog parks! These are her happy place, and we get such a kick out of seeing her in her element there, happily greeting every dog we meet and convincing many of them to chase her.

Lily’s also such a sweet and loyal companion! She follows me everywhere I move throughout our house. If either my husband or I happen to sneeze, she’ll sprint across the house to make sure we’re alright. For this reason, we sometimes also call her Dr. Dog or Doggie Howser. 😉 In summary and despite what the cats might tell you (she’ll win them over yet), this girl has brought a massive amount of joy, laughter and love to our house, and we’re grateful to have found her. We especially want to thank you and your team, as well as her amazing fosters, who have all made Lily’s precious life possible. Your work is incredible.

I’m limited to five photos for this attachment, so it’s been a challenge to narrow it down. She does a lot of funny, adorable things. 😊

Thank you again, Passport team!"

Wow, our sweet girl BRANDY sure didn't have to wait long for a home of her own up in Minnesota! We're so happy for her and her new Mom. What a beautiful pair they make! 😍😍 Thank you United Doberman Rescue and Canine Castaways of MN for giving her this opportunity for a life full of love. We are so grateful. ❤
