Retired to Rescue, Las Vegas, NV (2025)

07/04/2025

🇺🇸💔 Fourth of July = one of the WORST times of year for shelters 💔🇺🇸

Every year, dogs run in fear from fireworks—and shelters overflow in the days that follow. Many of them are in heartbreaking shape: scared, lost, injured, dumped and often worse 😩.

And while we have BIG opinions about fireworks… today we’re focusing on what we can do. We want to be ready to help 2–3 dogs from the shelter this coming week. But we absolutely cannot do that without two things:
👉 FOSTERS
👉 DONATIONS

We need fosters who can take in a dog straight from the shelter. These dogs will be on stray hold at first, and if they aren’t claimed, they’ll be available for rescue.
They will need:
🛏️ A safe, quiet space to decompress
🔐 Temporary quarantine
👀 Patience, love, and consistency

We’ll get them vetted, and provide everything they need but we need you to open your heart and your home. These are not dogs we can take into our own house first and then “find them a better foster.” We just can’t.

💵 Donations are equally critical. It costs us around $600 to intake a “healthy” dog—many cost far more. Skin, eyes, ears, surgeries… it adds up FAST. Every dollar goes right back to the dogs.

👉 Donate via our linktree in bio or
📲 Zelle: 725-265-0396

👉 Foster application is in our bio or at:
🌐 www.retiredtorescue.org

Please make sure ALL members of your household are on board before applying to foster—it’s a huge waste of time when someone backs out last minute, especially when dogs are waiting.🥺

Let’s be part of the solution this week. These bulldogs are going to be out there—lost, terrified, and alone in the heat and then in a scary shelter where there already isn’t enough room. 💔We’re ready to help them, can you help too? 🐾

Please foster, donate or share! ♥️🙏

🎇 Keep your pets safe and secured tonight.🙏

🏡 FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED FOR CHADWICK 🐾

We’re not sure why this sweet boy hasn’t found his person yet 💔 We’ve had a few people interested in Chadwick, but life got in the way—or they simply stopped responding. So here we are again, looking for the right home for him.

Chadwick is currently being fostered by our rescue’s president, but we’re hoping to move some of the healthier pups into new homes so we can focus on dogs with more intensive needs. Chadwick is READY—and he deserves a family of his own ❤️

✨ Chadwick is about 7 months old, around 15 lbs, and probably won’t grow much more—maybe up to 20–25 lbs max. He’s DNA-tested 100% American Bully, but his small size is from severe early neglect. Now that he’s thriving, he’s truly a little gem 💎

✅ Dog-friendly (best with smaller/more tolerant dogs)
✅ Cat-friendly
✅ Eats in his crate, not destructive
✅ Mostly potty trained (just needs continued structure)
✅ Sweet, curious, and doing so well!
🚫 Not ideal for homes with big or rowdy dogs—he is just too small and doesn’t understand his size.

Chadwick will thrive in a home with fewer pets and more attention. He’s still a puppy, so he’ll need a little time to adjust to a new routine and environment, but he’s worth it 💛

💉 He still needs to be neutered (we’ll schedule that soon), but otherwise he’s healthy and ready to find his people.

💸 His adoption fee is $350.
🧡 We provide all supplies and vetting for foster homes.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying.

Let’s get this boy out of rescue and into the home he’s been waiting for. 🏠🐶

🚨 URGENT: FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR FRIGGY 🚨

Friggy’s foster family is heading out of the country on July 16th—and we need to find her a new foster or forever home ASAP 🏡💔

We honestly don’t know why this girl hasn’t been adopted yet. Friggy is one of the sweetest, funniest, and most lovable dogs you’ll ever meet. She’s a classic Frenchie with a big personality, but also a huge heart. 💕

🎾 She LOVES toys, balls, and playing
🐶 Dog & cat friendly (best with less dominate dogs!)
👧 Great with kids
🛋️ Cuddly and affectionate
🚽 Potty trained
🌆 Thriving in a high-rise apartment!

Friggy is dog-friendly, but like many Frenchies, she won’t back down if another dog challenges her. So she’s best matched with less dominate dogs—or even a cat!🐱

She’s the queen of the little dog park in her complex, and charms everyone she meets. This girl has overcome so much, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready for the next chapter of her life 💖

🩺 Her only medical needs are allergies (watch her food & treats). We are working on additional allergy work up with our vets currently. She also has a pretty serious tail pocket that needs regular cleaning—typical for some bulldogs.

✨ Friggy is READY. She just needs the right person to say, “You’re mine.”

💸 Her adoption fee is $650.
🧡 We provide all supplies and vetting for foster homes.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying.

📲 Apply to foster or adopt via the linktree in our bio or at http://www.retiredtorescue.org

Let’s find Friggy her forever… before she’s left without a place to land.

🚨 TWO LIVES SAVED 🚨
Last night, we walked into the overcrowded Las Vegas shelter—kennels lining the hallways, dogs in pop-up crates—and we left with two souls who were out of time. These girls were at risk of euthanasia. But they’re safe now. They’re ours now. 💔🐾

🐶 First up: Itsy Bitsy
A tiny 15lb Frenchie found alone in someone’s backyard. When picked up, she nipped—just a scared, confused baby—and was quarantined at the shelter. But she improved, and since leaving, she’s been nothing but sweet, gentle, and curious. 🥹
Still a little nervous, but not once has she shown anything but quiet kindness. She’s dog-friendly, googly-eyed, and honestly… just adorable. She’ll see our vet this week for a full checkup and spay. 💕

🍏 Next, please meet Apple.
A quiet, broken little soul who’s survived far more than she should have.

Apple is an English Bulldog who weighs just 17 pounds. Skin and bones. Her nails are overgrown, her belly is urine-stained, her breath is foul—a starving body failing itself. She has hair loss, swollen lymph nodes, and a deep sadness in her eyes. But also… hope. 🥹

She was listed as “fearful” and put on meds for distress—but the moment we got her out, she melted into us. 🍎 She is so still, so soft, so heartbreakingly perfect.

We are so grateful we got to her in time. But we can’t help her without you. 🙏
She’s now on high-quality food with small meals throughout the day. Today she’ll get bloodwork, and once stronger, she’ll be spayed and have her cherry eye repaired. She will absolutely need a foster home to heal.

💸 Donate (link in bio)
🏡 Foster (Vegas area only)
📢 Share this post—help their story reach someone who can help.

🧡 Itsy and Apple are safe. But so many are still waiting.

🐷💗 FOSTER NEEDED for PIGLET 💗🐷⁣
⁣
Say hello to one of the most incredible little ladies we’ve ever had the honor of saving — meet Piglet 🖤✨⁣
⁣
This tiny, dark-skinned, hairless Frenchie was surrendered by a breeder shortly after we took in Nakey Minaj- same breeder. While they might be sisters in spirit, Piglet is pint sized and maybe just a little sweeter 🥹💞⁣
⁣
She’s learning what love feels like — and she loves love. 💕 When you’re paying attention to her, she lights up with joy, but when you’re busy, she’s just as happy to curl up quietly beside you. 🛋️💤⁣
⁣
🌞 She does need some special skin care: weekly (or bi-weekly) baths, gentle moisturizing, sunscreen if she’s outdoors, and comfy clothes to protect her delicate skin.⁣
👁️ She is blind in one eye, but it doesn’t cause her pain — we’re managing it with drops and meds twice a day.⁣
🍲 Piglet has very few teeth, so she eats soft food like a dainty queen.⁣
🚽 Potty trained outside but uses a pad if she can’t get out.⁣
🐾 She’s great with other dogs, cats, kids… basically everyone.⁣
🧸 Just calm, sweet, and easy to love.⁣
⁣
Piglet still needs to be spayed, so we’re looking for a foster (or foster-to-adopt!) in the Las Vegas or surrounding areas who can keep her safe, comfy, and showered in love until then.⁣
⁣
We provide all supplies and cover all medical — you provide the 💕 and consistency.⁣
⁣
📍Interested in fostering or fostering-to-adopt Piglet? Fill out an app at the link in our bio or visit: http://www.retiredtorescue.org⁣
⁣
‼️Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying‼️⁣
⁣
Let’s find this little magical creature the home she deserves 🌈🫶 Please share!⁣

🌟 🌟

We just want to take a moment today to say one thing:

THANK YOU. 🙏🐾💛

We don’t always get the chance to share every single donation, wishlist gift, or act of kindness — but please know that we see you, we feel your support, and we are so, so grateful. 🥹

Over the last few weeks, we’ve faced some really heavy decisions. We’ve experienced loss. We’ve struggled with the heartbreak of not being able to help every single dog. But through all of it — you showed up.

✨ You donated money when we needed it most — and because of you, several of our dogs are getting spayed and neutered this week so they can finally go home.
✨ You shared our posts, sent messages, and helped us keep going even when we were running on empty.
✨ You donated over 8 bags of dry food and 6+ cases of wet food — feeding full bellies and lifting full hearts!!! 🥹
✨ And something that truly brought us to tears — Coconut’s palate surgery has been fully sponsored. 😭💗 We were heartbroken thinking we couldn’t give her the surgery she needs anytime soon… and now, thanks to YOU, she’s scheduled for mid-July (she’s just a bit under the weather right now). This is the kind of second chance she deserves.

We’re going to try to be better about saying thank you more often, especially now that we’re slowing down on intakes. But today, we just want you to know that without your love, donations, shares, and energy — we simply couldn’t do this.

So today, we move forward.
We heal.
We help.
We hope.
And it’s all because of you.

💛 A million thank-yous from the bottom of our hearts — we appreciate you more than words can say.

🐶🐾🦴💛
