June is on a trial adoption and, so far, it's going really well! Let's keep our fingers crossed that it continues and she's found her perfect family!

It's hard to keep going when there is so much heartbreak and so much struggle involved with running a rescue.

Due to the type of dogs we usually take in, medical cases, we lose more than some other rescues.

Yesterday we said goodbye to Ida, our hospice baby that was in kidney failure.

She'd been with us about 3 years. She was a street dog and didn't trust people when she came to us. By the time we'd worked out her distrust and she was ready for adoption we found out about her kidney failure (annual wellness exams with bloodwork are SO important) and she became one of our hospice babies.

Saying goodbye is the hardest act of kindness with our sick babies. Every dog we've lost has taken part of me with them. How much more can there be? I am with every single dog we lose in their final time. I don't ever want them to go without being surrounded by complete love.

I'm babbling, I'm sorry. My mind is everywhere right now and we're grieving.

Please, take some extra time today to love on your babies.

- Tina

Happy New Year to all of our supporters - donors, fosters, volunteers, adopters, and everyone in between!

Luna enjoyed a spa day with our awesome groomer, Morgan. Her skin is still yucky but it's much better than it was when she first came to us. We think we have the ear infections under control. We've got a follow up appointment to recheck her ears, skin and do more bloodwork.

She's so incredibly sweet and loving. 💚

We want to thank everyone who has sent donations from our Amazon Wishlist, we truly appreciate it!

Our current biggest needs from the list are bones, toys, pill pockets and laundry detergent if anyone would like to place an order. Keeping all of the pups happy when it's cold and they can't play outside is a challenge but the bones and toys help.

Well, maybe one more again! Please welcome this gorgeous boy to Dog Days Rescue!

He was to be euthanized an hour after we got him. We met him, he was the last on the list. We couldn't let his life end yesterday afternoon.

More info to come by so far he's incredibly sweet and friendly! We'll be introducing him to other dogs when we're sure he doesn't have anything contagious from the shelter. He looks to be a lab mix with either Dane or Boxer possibly. Absolutely gorgeous.

If you're interested in fostering or possibly adopting please reach out to us, we can't continue to save these babies without fosters, donors and adopters.

We now have 6 days until a brand new year begins! Start thinking about those New Year's Resolutions, we'd love to hear them!

We've never walked in to a new year with vet bills unpaid and we really don't want to this year either. We need to raise at least $3,000 to get our main veterinary partner caught up.

If you are able to make a year end donation, even just a dollar or two, we would be extremely grateful!

Here is the donation link. They add a percentage to the donation that would go to them to help keep it free from fees to us, feel free to change that to 0 or whatever you'd like.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. We hope that everyone has a wonderful day!

We'd love to see pictures of your pets on this very special day.

Pictured - Dusty, the baby that was horribly neglected from a cruelty case. He was 32 pounds, no hair and not in a good way. He's been adopted!

Maybe just 1 more ...

Yesterday afternoon we were notified that there was a hoarding case bust in Hall County. This meant that the shelter had to make room by euthanizing. The deadline was set for 4pm yesterday afternoon. We had to move fast if we were going to be able to help.

With the help of an amazing foster, we were able to rescue this handsome boy. The shelter called him Sparky, we've named him Dante.

So far, Dante has been the perfect boy. He seems to be house trained, he's sweet, doesn't make a lot of noise, loves everyone and is very social.

Please help us understand why June is still available?! She's small, she's scruffy, she's a good girl. All she needs is a home of her own.

Luna check in!

While we're working on her physical healing, Luna is showing us that she has some emotional healing to do as well.

She is showing signs of separation anxiety. Not extreme thankfully but not great either. Anyone who suffers from anxiety can tell you how terrible a feeling it is.

The plan is currently to work on getting her more comfortable being alone or in another room with behavior modification techniques (positive reinforcement only!).

If that isn't enough we'll discuss adding something to help her take the edge off while continuing to work with her.

That said, she's a sweet and goofy girl otherwise! She enjoys hanging out with her foster family. She'll meet the resident dog in a few more days when we know she's not going to surprise us with kennel cough or anybody contagious.

We'll continue to update here as she progresses.

Please consider a year end donation so that we can continue to save dogs like Luna!

There are 16 days left of 2025 and we need to get our vet bills caught by then. We're also in need of preventatives, toys, bones, medications for the seniors, etc. It's time to pay for our rescue and business license renewals as well as things like registration for our trailer that we use for events and things.

Here is our end of year fundraiser. We need to raise at least $9,500 to move into 2026 and continue saving so many special dogs in need.

If you can donate a couple of dollars, that would help tremendously, it really does ALL add up!

Here's our donation link, it's fee free so we don't get eaten up with fees. There's an option after the donation amount to donate to Zeffy to assist with keeping the platform free for non profits by you can change the amount to 0 and it's completely OK.

All donations are as always.

Thank you for being a part of our and helping us help so many amazing dogs! We can't do it without you!
