We have been asked to take this pretty boy, whom we are calling Eros.💘

Local ACO picked him up today and while he is on stray hold till Friday, we have him in boarding for a couple nights to keep him safe and have him looked at by the vet. He will be up for adoption soon if not reclaimed, so watch for updates later this week! If anyone would like to help us get his initial medical covered, you can do so by calling Shawnee Animal Clinic @ 740-353-5758 and making a donation for Eros under the SOS account! 
You can also send a donation by PayPal or Venmo here :

Venmo:
PayPal: PayPal.me/sosgsdrescue

Although we did a fundraiser this weekend and have a couple coming up this week, vet expenses are one of our single biggest needs/expenses. Usually we are always behind and currently have a balance of $475 as of this afternoon before adding Eros to the SOS pack. Please consider a donation? A couple nights of boarding, (which is approximately $25/night) and he will also get vaccinated, and a heartworm test as well. Any amount helps, and we are grateful for anything sent! 🫶🐶

Some of you may remember our girl Jetta, whom we adopted out last August.

Unfortunately, due to some behavior issues with the resident dog in the home, Jetta was returned to us today. She is a sweet girl, and is good with kids including toddlers, cats and most dogs she meets. She is approximately three years old, and an unassuming, mostly unflappable dog.

She is also crate trained and prior to going to the adopters home, was housebroken. The adopter informs us that she now has been having accidents in the house due to the other dog doing the same. 😕

Jetta will be up for adoption after her visit with the vet for vaccination updates and a repeat heartworm test. If you think you would like to Foster, or Foster to adopt this girl, please message us and let us know!

Thank you to everyone who bought squares!! 100 in a week! Wow! ❤️

First thing tomorrow, we will draw the numbers for the home team(Eagles) and the away team(Chiefs) live on here and put those in! At the end of each quarter, I will post each winner here, and again at the final score(OT included).

Good luck to everyone!🏈🏟️

Meet Sheila, now Khloe!! ❤️
We pulled this girl just a few days after a distemper outbreak in Memphis, TN. They had already euthanized 100 dogs, including one we had posted here, and were set to euthanize several more.

This girl was at risk one way or another. Either the illness or euthanasia for possible exposure. After pulling her, we placed her with a foster in Memphis for a three week quarantine hold. Happily, she has proven to be negative for distemper, and although she is cleared to come to Ohio, we are happy to report that her fosters have fallen in love and decided to foster fail after her vetting is completed! ❤️🎉

‼️FYI for those with these chips! We do not chip with this brand but do have a dog in the rescue with one of these. We use Petlink and recommend them or one of these listed in the post, as they are a large company and are well established. This makes their chips reliable and no risk of them going out of business! Generic chips, often used in microchip clinics and at free vaccination clinics, are often through small companies who are out of business quickly and without warning. In addition, some of these smaller companies' chips are not readable unless with a universal scanner.

Check your microchip!
If you are unsure of who your microchip is registered under you can check here at

Update on our boy Atlas-he has gone from shelter to Foster! thank you to Kristen and now Dr. Samantha for fostering this guy! ❤️

He is doing very well in Foster and appears to be housebroken and does well in a crate. He seems to like the fosters kitty, and although interested, just seems to want to kiss kitty at this time.

He has been fully vetted and neutered, although his ears continue to be a problem. He went back to the vet yesterday as he continues to shake his head and dig at his ears and whine. He will be up for adoption in a few weeks as soon as we have got his ears straightened up.

He is a very tall boy, and absolutely loves everyone! He is dog friendly and has met male and female dogs and done well. Our vet has estimated him between the age of three and four years old. He is a very chill guy in the house and just wants to hang out and be near his people. He rides well in a car, and doesn't hesitate to hop right in. He's also good at the vet and friendly with the staff!❤️🐶

We have attached a copy of his invoice from his vet visit yesterday for his ears, in case anyone would like to help us out in covering his medical needs! With all of the dogs in the rescue and a few others needing veterinary attention at this time, we would very much appreciate any help!❤️

If you are interested in possibly meeting and adopting our young man, feel free to send us a message or apply here:

🎉Want to help the rescue?! We have several things going on right now and fun ways to help our dogs! 🎉

‼️We still have about half of our football squares to sell before Saturday! 🏈 Please share, buy a square(or two) and send our post to your friends! 😊‼️

Help us reach our goal, have fun and help out the pups! All proceeds from our football fundraiser go towards our many needs for our four legged kids! Food, flea/tick meds, and most importantly, vet care! Monthly medications for our seniors alone run around $185! Adding flea/tick/hw prevention, spays/neuters, and hw treatments, etc. really adds up quick on 20+dogs. 🫣

We also have a pup cup fundraiser going on at our local Dairy Queen locations during the month of February! 🍦❤️ 100% of the proceeds from all pup cups sold are donated to the rescue! This is great and we really appreciate the community support! 😊 So get your canine friends out for a ride and a pup cup to help a great cause! 🚗🐶🍦

💫Don't forget we are also a Kroger Rewards member and by choosing us as your nonprofit, every time you shop at Kroger's, you're also helping us save more dogs! All without costing you anything! Just sign up for Kroger Rewards, select us as your charity of choice and that's it! ❤️😊 Just use your Kroger card when making purchases, whether groceries or gas and Kroger does the rest! Our organization number is FT425. 🛒
