Nestle’s sister is getting adopted Friday 🎉🎉🎉 this leaves Nestle the last of Milkmaid’s puppies still waiting for a home after A YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS 🥺 who can help us find a home for her too?!

How amazing would it be if she could find a home this week, too! Waived adoption fee for qualified adopters, fenced yard is required. ❤️🙏

07/17/2024

HUGE thank you to the mystery person who sent us all these chew bones for Nestle & Silk. We appreciate it so much and know they do too! ❤️❤️❤️

Sitting, waiting, wishing…for furever homes. 🥺💔 not looking to adopt? Consider sending the girls a toy, treats or enrichment item to help us keep them happy during their VERY extended stay with us. 🙏

We received and approved an application for one of the girls this week, but sadly they adopted another doggy before coming to meet the girls. While we are sad and disappointed for them, we are excited for the other dog that got a second chance at life.

That application for the girls was the first we’ve received in over a year, we can’t help but wonder how much longer we will have to wait for the next one? 💔 If you know of anyone looking to add a wonderful, young dog to their family — please mention Nestle and Silk to them. Their adoption fees are waived for qualified adopters (fenced yard is required due to their energy level).

We hope you & your furry friends have all have the BEST 4th of July! 🐶🐱Happy Independence Day from us here at Saved By A Vet Tech Animal Rescue!

Want to help us? Consider making a donation to a local rescue instead of purchasing fireworks this year. 🧨

PS- Please make sure your pets are microchipped, have ID tags on, & preferably are safe and sound indoors tonight. Record numbers of pets go missing and end up in shelters during the holidays. ❤️

These days it’s so easy to focus on the bad…

Bad: we have 5 dogs in our rescue that have been with us over a year waiting for homes.

Bad: donations are pretty much nonexistent while the cost of vet care and supplies continues to rise.

But, we have so much good to be GRATEFUL for.

Our rescue has found homes for 183 animals since starting.

We’ve healed animals of illnesses, broken bones, and sometimes just broken spirits.

We’ve helped get owned animals emergency veterinary care, preventative care, and sometimes just kept them fed.

This wouldn’t be remotely possible without any of you. Thank you ALL for being part of our journey, good or bad. ❤️❤️❤️

Keep your pets safe during this next week of very high temps! 🐾

06/13/2024

While our rescue is closed for intake, these are the cases that are hardest to turn away. When a local clinic reached out and we were unable to help, Canine Liberation League stepped up to help Sunny. Please help them by contributing something to his care and sending some prayers his way. ❤️

Too cute not to share! 🐾

06/01/2024

We raised almost $100 yesterday, who can help us keep it going? 🙏🙏🙏

05/31/2024

$5 FRI-YAY

It’s been a while since we’ve done a fundraiser and our donations are essentially $0 for the last 6 months. All 5 of these friends have been with Saved By A Vet Tech Animal Rescue for over a year 🥺💔 This means over a year of:

🐶 Dog food costs
🐶 Heartworm/flea/tick prevention
🐶 Annual preventative care (vaccines, heartworm testing, f***ls, blood work) TWICE

We could absolutely use some help with their ongoing costs, if you have a little extra to spare. 🙏🙏🙏

🌟 FOSTER TO ADOPT PROGRAM 🌟

Our sweet girls, Nestle & Silk still continue to wait for their furever homes 🥺💔 These girls are available for foster-to-adopt where we will continue to pay for their preventative vet care and food for up to 1 year post adoption to help them find homes ❤️

Qualified applicants MUST live within 20 miles of Downriver and MUST have a fenced yard. The girls aren’t required to be adopted together. Current pets in home MUST be spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, and on year-round heartworm prevention.

🐶 Approximately 1-year-old Akita mixes that are about 50lbs. We’ve had them since they were puppies, but they’ve continued to be passed over.
🐾 Fully vetted with waived adoption fees for approved adopters.
🐶 Fenced yard required to adopt.
🐾 Will need adopters that can be patient with potty training and leash work.

We have people reach out to us daily looking for help, sadly while all of these friends continue to remain in our care… we aren’t able to take any new friends in. 🥺💔

We’ve all been waiting for a place to call home for…

Calder, Nestle, & Silk — 345 days 💔
Milkmaid (their mom) — 345 days 💔
Kya — 325 days 💔
Perdita — 455 days 💔

Monthly heartworm/flea/tick prevention costs for them: $210

Monthly food costs for them: $220

This beautiful girl has been waiting almost an entire year for a place to call home. 🥺💔

Kya is an absolute sweetheart and the perfect medium sized dog, weighing about 35lbs and not expected to get much bigger. She is very high energy and would love a family that can provide her lots of exercise and continued training. Kya would do best in a home with a fenced yard and without small children or cats.

Please reach out to us if you’d like to meet her ❤️🐶

From Rocky’s foster mom:

Can’t believe this sweet boy still hasn’t gotten any applications for adoption 🥺 less than 2 years old, happy and energetic, good with dogs and cats, and people of all sizes - loves to cuddle and will crawl right into your arms for a hug. He needs an active family who has time to play with him and give him the exercise he needs - he is not destructive of our things, but does need to be supervised with dog toys as he will tear stuffies and soft rubber toys apart. We stick to Nyla bones and kongs and he does well with those. He would love a family with little kiddos or another pup to match his energy and play with - he LOVES to run around outside and be chased. That’s his favorite game lol.
♥️♥️

If anyone has any large, gently used crates (at least 48 inches) they’d like to donate to us — we could certainly use them. 🙏❤️

10/08/2023

To say we are thankful is an absolute understatement. 🥹 These funds will help us continue to be able to provide vital medical care and food to the many animals in our care. 🐾❤️

Please help us thank the entire team at Handsome Heroes: The Show for their incredible donation of $1,820 to our rescue! Please hop over to their page to give it a like, kind review, and attend one of their shows if you get the chance ❤️

Also, huge thank you to Donna & the team at Salute Taverna for hosting them. They have wonderful food, so please be sure to stop in and thank them for us. 🐶

10/07/2023

Please help us keep this going ❤️🐾 every $1 and every share gets us a bit closer to our goal!

We have a HUGE ask for our supporters 🙏🙏🙏

Our rescue is currently carrying a $2,000 balance with the vet clinic we use for all of our rescue animals. This balance is what is leftover from Stella’s emergency surgeries that were about $3,500. While we’ve been chipping away at the balance, we just aren’t making progress quickly enough with donations and adoptions practically nonexistent for us.

This bill needs to be paid off by month end to allow us to continue using VCA, which we desperately need to keep everyone we currently have happy and healthy ❤️🐾 We would GREATLY appreciate any support you are able to offer, every $1 truly counts.

The sooner this is paid off, the sooner we can start helping other animals.

Still zero interest in any of these amazing furry friends 🥺💔 We know there has to be families out there for them somewhere. 🙏

ALL of these poor friends are still searching for a place to call home. 🥺💔

They’ve all been with their foster families for MONTHS without a single application or meet & greet. They’re all wonderful and many of them are still puppies.

This is a sad time for us and our foster families — it is the absolute longest any of our animals have sat with no interest or hope of being adopted. That’s hard to swallow when we all know how lovely they are and how absolutely DESERVING they are of their own homes. 😭😭😭

Please help us, help them find a place to call home. 🙏

Outside of Dallas, who is in a foster-to-adopt home and 2 of our 4 kittens — ALL of these poor friends are still searching for a place to call home. 🥺💔

In an effort to help these friends find furever homes, we are willing to waive their adoption fees for homes that are a good fit ❤️❤️❤️

Nestle, Silk, & Calder are all about 5 months old and have been waiting for homes that entire time. They weigh 25-30lbs currently and are expected to be large dogs when full grown.

They’re sweet and full of puppy energy currently. They will still need additional help with potty and leash training post adoption.

The last adoption application we received for any of our sweet, precious dogs was on 6/28…over a month ago 🥺💔

To say we are sad for our dogs in foster homes is an understatement. While they are all loved and well cared for, they still desperately need and deserve a home to call their own where they can blossom into adulthood.

If anyone is interested in meeting any of our wonderful dogs below that have been searching for homes for months (many are still puppies), please let us know. ❤️❤️❤️ All of their adoption fees have been reduced to $200 and more information about each of them can be found on Petfinder.

08/03/2023

These furry friends are still waiting for a place to call home! ❤️❤️❤️

Many of these guys have been in their foster homes for a few months at this point. Have you considered adopting and adding a new furry companion to your family lately? Now is the time…rescues and shelters across our nation are limited in being able to help more animals due to be full, including us. 💔

All of our animals are fully vetted included in your adoption fee (spay/neuter, vaccinations, f***l testing/deworming, kept on monthly heartworm/flea/tick prevention, and microchipped with prepaid lifetime registration). Many of these guys below have reduced adoption fees too. 🎉🎉🎉

Please share and help us find them the absolute BEST homes, which we know they truly deserve. 🐶 🐱

07/28/2023

Still zero interest in this sweet, sweet girl that has been waiting for her furever home for almost 8 months. 🥺💔 If you know of anyone looking for a lovable furry friend that LOVES other dogs and has been around some kids…please let us know. 🙏

Still searching for their place to call home 🥺💔

Nationwide, adoption rates are currently down and these cute, adorable little faces are the sad reality of that...please help us find their forever. 🙏🤞🙏🤞

Days in Foster 😭

Jewel: 198 days
Rocky: 137
Calder, Silk, & Nestle: 118
Kya: 111

These are such wonderful, personable pups that we truly wish a few families would give them a fighting chance and come to meet them. No dog deserves to grow up in foster care. Their adoption fees have all been reduced to $200 to hopefully help encourage their adoptions.

Thank YOU to their foster families. This is the absolute LONGEST we’ve ever seen young dogs stay in our care without being adopted and it takes a toll on their foster families and a financial toll on our rescue.
