Pause for Paws at 🐶 This is the Dog! Brought Puppies to Miami Dade College Homestead campus to help the students destress during finals. We do believe that it worked. Dogs have a magical way of making people happy! 🐶

Hello to all of our phenomenal friends and supporters! We're going to share a story that we hope truly illustrates our mission. We have countless stories to tell and will be putting together a site for all of us, This is the Dog! rescuers and adopters, to share all of our magical stories. Here is a very sweet one to start with.
Jay and Sheila Herman wanted nothing more than to open their hearts and home to a sweet little dog. And then came Sevie... Little 6 year old Sevie (named after the fire station 70 where he was rescued) was found emaciated, horribly matted, infested with fleas, filthy beyond words, and unneutered, running alone and scared in the busy streets of Miami.
This is the Dog! stepped in to rescued little Sevie from his nightmare existence, providing him the best medical care, a wonderful foster home, much needed grooming, and endless love. And when he was finally healthy, adorable Sevie was adopted by the fabulous Sheila and Jay! When they welcomed him into their lovely home, he repaid them with his endless sweetness and puppy dog cuddles, filling their lives with absolute joy.
THIS IS RESCUE. And Sevie's story is just one of thousands we personally deal with every year. Cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. We open our hearts and homes to help the thousands of animals across South Florida who've been thrown away like trash just dumped outside lonely and sick, those born into the mean streets with no hope, those abused and neglected by irresponsible owners, and those who are the result of thoughtless backyard breeders. But we stand up for them. We know how precious every animal is and dedicate ourselves to rescue every day in so may ways: through rescue, rehabilitation, TNR, and animal neglect/cruelty intervention, additionally providing services including offering free spay/neuter to anyone in the community and distributing free pet food to those in need. For us, rescue is our way of giving back to the world and making it a better place for all. It's our hearts in action.
Your generous donations allow us to keep doing this. And every dollar is an enormous help. Thank you for taking a moment to help us help them. We are extraordinarily grateful for each and every one of our supporters.🕊️❤️🐾This Is The Dog! is a 501(c)(3) non profit animal adoption and rescue

FYI. For all of our rescue friends, adopters and followers, Chewy is having an incredible sale today only. Most Purina is on sale PLUS if you spend $100 you get a $40 gift card. Another great deal is on the 24 pack of churus chicken flavor.

12/3/25 Updated pictures! Waffles is doing terrific! Ringworm is healing. He is finally seeing what life should be like - with so much love and care! Dogs Rule!

We have received quite a few inquiries for Lowrider now known as Waffles. He is receiving treatment for Ringworm and then will be scheduled for Neuter. We appreciate the interest, and will be looking at applications next week. As cute as he is, he is the ideal spokesdog for unethical and irresponsible breeding. He is barely 6 inches above the ground. Watching him walk is heartbreaking. His front legs are so bowed, it looks painful. He is the result of selfish, human actions: a canine Frankenstein. Please be an advocate against irresponsible breeding. These dogs are not meant to be. Thank you.

It is a time to be thankful for all of our blessings A time to give! This is the Dog! Has him safe and sound. He is being treated for ringworm and then will be neutered and then ready for adoption. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕There are so many dogs at our local shelter. Please adopt. Give a lifetime of love

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨
We are urgently searching for families willing to consider a Foster-to-Adopt placement for two of our newest intakes: Buddy Blue and Captain.
Both of these sweet boys were dumped on the side of the road by their own families, left standing there as they watched the only people they knew drive away. One of our volunteers witnessed Buddy Blue being abandoned. Captain was found just yesterday — left with his harness, leash, bowls, blankets, and food scattered in a field.
Because of the trauma they’ve already endured, we do not want them lingering in temporary foster homes. Once they begin to feel safe and loved, another move could make them feel abandoned all over again. These boys deserve stability, healing, and the chance to bond with the people who may become their forever family.
✨ All vetting is covered by the rescue!
That includes neuter, vaccines, deworming, microchip, and heartworm testing — all at no cost to you.
🐶 Buddy Blue – A young, active sweetheart with the most loving spirit.
🐾 Captain – An older gentleman who is incredibly gentle, sweet, and so far dog-friendly.
If you’re interested in opening your home to one of these boys under a no-strings-attached Foster-to-Adopt arrangement, please comment below. If things don’t work out or they don’t acclimate well, they can return to their current foster. If you fall in love (and we know you might!), you can finalize adoption once their vetting is complete.

🙏 Please share this post to help Buddy Blue and Captain find the stable, loving homes they so deeply deserve — a place to decompress, heal, and hopefully stay forever. 💙🐾
