Leaving 2024 with a bang! Everyone welcome Emerald aka Emmy (white pup) and Millie (brown pup) to ATWDR‼️

We picked these two up from animal control today. They are both in foster only homes so they will be available for foster-to-adopt very soon!

Pupdate on Ozzy‼️

Do you even recognize this guy!? None of us would've guessed he would be this big!
Ozzy was originally found at just 6 weeks old, all by himself outside. He was eating trash which he thankfully threw up later and didn't cause any issues with his tiny belly. He was put on a stray hold and no one ever stepped up to reclaim him so we pulled him into rescue.

He is now just under 6 months old and weighing in around 45lbs. His ears are still dancing, one day they're up, the next they are down. He is one handsome boy either way though! His family loves him to pieces even though he is becoming quite the momma's boy! 😂 He is still learning how those long legs work so he's a bit clumsy and silly.
He will be getting neutered soon (since we knew he would be bigger, we wanted to wait until he was at least 7 months old to do so). After that he will be able to officially be adopted by his family! 🥰

🐾🎉🪅🎄 Adorable boy Dexter has officially been adopted!!

This sweet little guy was given away for free in the Hobby Lobby parking lot along with his siblings. We tried to talk the person into giving us all of the puppies so we could vet them and make sure they ended up in good homes but they wouldn't give us any of them. The people who ended up with Dexter learned very quickly that they did not have the means to take care of a puppy and the issues he had from being malnourished so they surrendered him to us. Now that he is fully vetted and healthy it was time to make it official!
Dexter is such a sweet boy. He loves everyone and he's a huge cuddler💕 His family fell in love with him quickly and knew he was right where he was meant be! Congratulations Dex and family, you all hit the jackpot with each other!

Exciting news! 🎉🪅🐾

Congratulations to Sweet Pea and her new family!! They made it official today and Sweet Pea is officially adopted! 🥰

Sweet Pea came to us from animal control after being found in a home with her owner who had been deceased. She was terrified and confused to say the least. After some time and lots of TLC, Sweet Pea has warmed up to people and learned how to trust again. Her new family was exactly what she needed and it only took a few days for all of them to realize this was her new home for forever 💕

One more pupdate for today‼️

Miss Lilly was spayed this past week and her surgery went well. She surprisingly doesn't mind her cone of shame much and has been recovering as expected. She has been extra cuddly and wanting to be held and loved on which is absolutely pitiful and adorable at the same time 🥹💕
We did do a 4dx test and she tested positive for lymes disease so she is being treated for that as well.

In another week, she will be going to her foster to adopt home! We are so excited for her and her new family! We know she will be very loved there!

Since Lilly is on a few medicines to treat the Lymes and for spay recovery, we have had to mix them with wet food or she will not take them. Her Itty bitty mouth makes it impossible to give her medicine like we do with med to large size dogs. We are running extremely low on the wet food she is on, she needs the small breed so the chunks are small enough for her to eat. We have added her wet food along with food and supplements for Boomer, our new senior boy, onto our Amazon Wishlist because those are our greatest needs right now!

Another Pupdate on Boomer‼️

We would first like to say thank you so much to everyone who has donated towards Boomer's care! It makes pulling a senior pup a whole lot easier when you have the funds up front to pay for their vet bills! His first vet appointment is Monday to get an exam, have all of his lumps and bumps looked at, senior bloodwork, 4dx, etc. We will update you as soon as we get results and know more.

On another note, this handsome boy went to one of our fosters today and will be spending some time with her until we find him a forever home! So far since he was pulled from the shelter, he has been the most perfect boy. He loves every person he has met, he's potty trained, and loves his crate (he goes in there all on his own and hangs out), he's goofy and curious too... not to mention cute, look at that adorable face 😍
Sadly, despite the attention he has had, there has not been one application for him yet.
If you are interested in giving this sweet guy a forever home please fill out an application!

We did start Boomer on sensitive skin senior dog food and joint supplements since his skin is also terrible and his back legs seem to be stiff/weak.
We added both of these items along with more wet food for Lilly onto our Amazon Wishlist. This is a great time to donate and it would help tremendously, Boomers food is 40% off!! If you would like to donate please visit our Wishlist here:

Boomer took a trip with John to run some errands today 💕 He is so stinkin cute!

While going over all of his medical reports I noticed this was not his first time at the shelter and it looks as if he was there twice before 😪😪 We are hoping we can find this old man his last home to live out the rest of his senior years!

‼️Boomer's Freedom Ride Pics‼️

This guy checked himself out of the shelter and was ready to roll! We were able to secure a temp foster lastnight just one hour before Boomer was scheduled to be euthanized 😫💕

We quickly learned that Boomer is also almost completely deaf. He has a bunch of lumps and bumps all over him, his skin is pretty bad as well. He will be seen by our vet, right after the holidays, to get some bloodwork and determine what the next steps are for treatments after that.

🐾Welcome to the good life Boomer! 💕

Just a little update: this senior boy was due to be euthanized an hour ago but you know what!?... Everyone stepped up and he's safe! We are pulling him and he will be picked up tomorrow morning! 🥹💕

Special thank you to John Snyder for helping with this one! He said yes right away when I asked for help and will be temp fostering for us for a few days until our other foster is available to take him. John runs a dog rescue of his own but was still willing to help us save this boy! We appreciate you so much and this is what rescue is all about, helping each other save dogs!!

Stay tuned for our freedom ride pics of Boomer tomorrow 💕

Just a few days before Christmas and we must say, all of our rescue pups are on Santa's nice list this year! To make sure our pups have everything they want and need, we updated our Amazon Wishlist, in hopes of getting a few very needed items at the moment.
#1 most need item = Merrick limited ingredient dog food for Genesis and Louie. Dog food is one of our highest expenses besides vet bills/meds. These two struggle with severe allergies and do well on this food.
#2 Purina Proplan Toy breed food for Lilly. When Lilly came to us you could see her back and hip bones and she was not eating much at all. We tried small breed food and even the small breed chunky wet food was too big for her to chew. This toy breed food has the tiniest kibbles and Lilly has done so well on it and she's finally starting to gain weight!
#3 All other items are enrichment items 😊. The big pups all love to chew on their bones, antlers, and treats! We hope that Santa brings a few extra for them this year 💕

Here is our Amazon Wishlist if you would like to send one of the pups a special Christmas present!

Harley (formly Demonte) got his Christmas wish a little early this year. He was officially adopted today‼️ 🪅🎅🎉🎄Congratulations to Harley and his new family.

Harley came to us back in Sept. He was EXTREMELY emaciated at just 35lbs. He was so starved, he was trying to eat anything he could just to get something in his belly, including a pair of sock slippers whole and a stuffed toy a few days before we got him. Thankfully that somehow did not cause a blockage and he didn't need emergency surgery. After some much needed TLC and a very strict refeeding schedule, Harley gained about 30lbs, yes you read that correctly, 30lbs, which means he was only half his weight when he arrived with us. Once he was healthy and discovered his new found energy, we realized he had no manners and we decided to send him for a week of training with Puppy Love Dog Training. Of course Harley did amazing there! Thank you Nathan and Brandi!! That pretty much sealed the deal for him, and his family knew he wasn't going anywhere!
We can't thank his new family enough for being so patient and understanding with Harley! He has been through a lot and it wasn't an easy transition at first but they stuck it out and gave him a REAL 2nd chance at life!
Congratulations again and we look forward to updates on his progress! 💕

(Also want to give a shoutout to Jess Kupper for being an amazing foster to many many dogs at the shelter that Harley came from. She volunteers her time and promotes the dogs there so they have the best chance at finding a home! We love your heart and thank you for helping Harley through the first steps of his journey!)

Update: We are no longer accepting applications for Lilly! 😊

Lilly is still hoping for a Christmas miracle this year! We can't believe we still haven't found a home for her yet!

Lilly is a 1 yr old Min Pin. She is around 5-6lbs.
She LOVES to play with toys! She will fetch and bring the toys back to you to throw again. She's super playful and has an adorable, silly personality! She is great with people and loves everyone, including strangers.
Lilly's only downfall is that she is not great with other dogs. She will tolerate another dog, but will growl and give warnings if they get in her space. I do think she would do okay with one other dog in a home if the other dog was laid back and left her alone. With that being said, we will not allow her to go into a home with multiple other dogs because it does stress her out too much and she becomes more aggitated and aggressive towards them.

If you are interested in Lilly please fill out an application below 👇🏼👇🏼

Pupdate‼️ Handsome boy Dexter got neutered today. They also checked his teeth while he was sedated and noticed something funky going on, so they did xrays and unfortunately he has two teeth growing on top of each other that will likely need to be removed by a doggie dentist 😳 We will get that taken care of after he heals from his neuter.

Other than that, Dexter is a healthy boy. He's now 6 months old and getting taller and cuter by the day! He's a huge cuddle bug and loves to be babied by his new family. 💕💕

Unfortunately Genesis's appointment did not turn out how we would've liked today. She has a fully torn ACL and will need TPLO surgery. We are waiting on the estimated cost for surgery but we know it will likely be around $5k-7k if not more. 😢 We were super hopeful we would reach our goal of $3,000 that a donor was willing to match and that would've covered almost her entire surgery but so far we are at $774. We are so so thankful for those of you who have donated!

Someone had mentioned the donate button not working on the other post so I will add it this post and also our Zeffy donation link if any of you would still like to donate and help us cover the cost of Genesis's unexpected injury. All donations will be matched up to $3,000 tonight!

EVERY BIT COUNTS!!! I hate when people say "I'm sorry it's not that much" or "I donated a little"... No, it all HELPS TREMENDOUSLY!! No amount is too small! If every single one of our followers donated a dollar, we would meet our goal... so even a dollar is not too little! We appreciate all of our followers and donors! Please continue to share and help us raise a few more dollars for Genesis's surgery. We will post the estimate as soon as we get it!

Here is our Zeffy link - Please remember there's a section where it says contribution and adds a fee. Select Other and you can choose zero so no fee is added to your donation!
