Who remembers Stella?
4 years ago, we pulled a little matted mess of a doggy from Detroit animal control. She's been in a wonderful home for the past 4 years, getting all the love and attention that every dog deserves. ♥

There's an itchy situation we'd like your help with paypal.me/313rescue
We are helping an owner of 4 dogs and a cat with a flea infestation.
Ms Kitty snuck out about a month ago and came home with fleas. It's going to cost $350 to treat everyone (bravecto) and bomb. The owner just got back to work after having covid and doesn't get a paycheck for over 2 weeks. He has half of the cost but still needs $175.
Please help us help them. 🐾 ♥🐾

OhMyGoooooooosh, these 2!
Little Oscar has taken quite an affection to my Bunny. He doesn't "play" tho. Makes me wonder if he needs a kitten friend?
🤔 Hmmm. Maybe I'll keep my eye out for a baby kitten friend in need of rescue? ....maybe.

Our new baby kitten is settling in and doing great. Since he was found in a dumpster, we decided to name him after the Sesame Street character: Oscar
Oscar's first Vet appointment is scheduled for August 17th. He will be examined, blood & f***l tested, dewormed, and vaccinated. If you'd like to help with his vet care, we are accepting donations through our PayPal at: PayPal.me/313rescue

This is our new baby kitten. He was rescued today out of a dumpster in Detroit... No other kittens or a momma was found. He is adorable and affectionate, doesn't seem shy of people at all. Unfortunately it looks like he was dumped there :( .... It's ok little guy, you're safe now.
What should we name him?

07/31/2023

I got a call today about an orphan baby kitten found in a dumpster in Detroit. Someone heard her/him crying and climbed in to save it. She (or he) is on his way to becoming the newest 313 K9 & KITTY rescue 's Kitty.
I wonder what she looks like? I could hear her crying out in the background of the phone call.
I wonder what his personality is like? Rambunctious and daring or sweet and cuddly? ....My guess is a little of both.
I'm thankful that someone was there to save this baby. ▶️ ▶️ Come back later for photos and updates 🐾

Jack needs some help :( he's in very bad shape. Jack was attacked in his yard by another dog. His blood isn't clotting and his white blood count is very low.
Jack is at our vet office now and being treated; he was admitted for in-patient care. Jack's bill is expected to be $3,500-$5,000 total - we sure could use some help right now 🙏.
Jack will be receiving frozen blood platelets today and a blood transfusion from donor blood (hopefully) tomorrow to get him stabilized, then he will need surgery to clean and debris his wounds. Drainage tubes will be put in to drain the fluid that is accumulating in his chest.
Please keep Jack in your prayers. The next few days are critical and we need him to improve. If you are able to help contribute to Jack's vet bill, please donate directly to the vet office: DIX ANIMAL HOSPITAL 313-383-7387 account number # 17097

This handsome fella is Big Boy.
BB's 12 year old owner Tristan reached out for some help. Paypal.me/313rescue
Background... BB is this family's first pet. After months of begging, Tristan's mother agreed to allow him to have a dog; but being a single mom of 4 with limited income, the deal is that Tristan is 100% responsible for Big Boy and his expenses.
Over the last 4 months, Tristan has been cutting grass in his neighborhood to provide for BB. Tristan buys his food, toys, and treats. Tristan takes him for daily walks and he even made sure that BB received all his puppy shots.
Big Boy is almost 7 months old now. Tristan wants to get him neutered and microchipped. He has been trying to save up for it, but last week it became urgent. A neighbor has 2 female dogs that he refuses to spay and it's driving Big Boy crazy. He's anxious all the time, cries & wines all day, doesn't want to play, barely interested in food, and is overall miserable because of the unaltered girlies next door.
We're asking for YOUR help to give this young owner a helping hand! We need to raise $224 to get him in for surgery. If you could spare a few bucks, we're accepting donations at Paypal.me/313rescue
We love the responsibility that Tristan has shown so far with Big Boy. When we talked to his mom, we found out that Tristan is also an A-B student who wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up! What an inspiring young man! Keep up the good work Tristan! Now.... Let's show him some love!

5 more days worth of propane is needed to get them through this rough patch and keep them together... Its freezing today.
If you can spare a few dollars to help it could literally mean the difference of life and death!
We're assuming an additional $150 would see them through!

YOUNG FAMILY NEEDS HELP
We were asked to do a wellness check on 2 dogs that were living in a house without electricity.
When we got there we met a young couple. They explained that they are currently without electricity until March 3rd. They hit a rough patch and got behind in their bills. The husband started working a new better paying job 10 days ago. The wife is having a difficult pregnancy and is unable to work.
We met their 2 adorable bully breed dogs that are 6 & 7 years old, they've had them since they were young pups. They further explained that they are able to stay with other family members but cannot take their dogs. They've refused to be separated from them. It was one of these family members who asked us to do a wellness check. They have also called animal control on them.
Several accusations by this family member have proved to be false. We were told that both dogs were in horrible condition, had no vetting, and fight often. We seen 2 healthy happy dogs, spayed & neutered, and up to date on vaccines. This made us want to help this family make it until the 3rd.
The couple were turned down for several programs for utility bills, but are able to get the electricity turned back on themselves March 3rd.
Its been warm the last few days but its going to be cold again soon.... We were able to secure them a generator starting tomorrow afternoon (to borrow) that runs off of propane tanks.
We were also able to get them 2 20lb tanks ($65 each) to start them off. It will cost $22 each to refill them as needed. I'm not sure how long one tank will last but they need something for the next 9 days. Best guess is 1-2 a day ($180-360)? Not sure.
We're hoping someone out there will be able to contribute to get this young family through this difficult time and keep them together.
If you can help, donations are being collected through our rescue :

paypal.me/313rescue ....any amount will help greatly!

Update February 22nd
We received $167 in donations as of now.
Thank you to all that have donated!

The generator was dropped off, but was much too late to mess with setting it up. We have both propane tanks full and have them running 2 heaters for the night. The generator will get hooked up in the morning.
:) We also realized that their stove is gas, the stovetop can be lit with a lighter so they will be able to cook without an issue. The hot water heater is gas too! :)

Detroit.... Its cold outside!
Its too cold for dogs to be outside for more than a few minutes. 🙏

4 1/2 years ago Detroit passed an anti tether law... but it is meaningless. You can drive around Detroit and literally see hundreds of chained dogs. The city doesn't care. They don't enforce the law, when they do... Nothing happens. There's no punishment or deterrent.
Why did those in charge even bother to make it a law other than to silence the animal welfare community? It certainly wasn't for the well being of the dogs who spend their lives still today suffering until they die >> only to be replaced by another.
Detroit is a cesspool and no one will ever convince us otherwise.
Thank you Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue for saving yet another poor soul from a life of agony and despair!

19 dogs were killed yesterday at Detroit Animal Care and Control
17 of those dogs were happy, healthy, fully adoptable, wiggle butts who were killed for SPACE! -why?
The obvious reason is irresponsible pet owners and breeders, but the blame doesn't end there!
It's easy to "blame it on the owner" but it's not that easily explained.
Detroit Animal Care and Control (a self proclaimed "NO KILL" shelter 🙄🤥) is failing. They are failing the community, they are failing their responsibilities, they are failing to make necessary changes and in the process they are failing the animals of Detroit! -the dogs pay with their lives.
DACC puts their feelings and egos above the dogs in their shelter by refusing to work with certain 501c3 rescues that speak out for the benefit of the animals (including us). They put their friendships and cliques above the dogs in their shelter by refusing to make the staff changes that are necessary to move forward in a productive way to save the lives of these dogs. They put their pride above the dogs in their shelter by not allowing organizations to come in and help them implement better procedures, protocols, and programs that would put them on track to actually become the No Kill shelter that they should be.....
17! 17 dogs KILLED by Detroit Animal Control yesterday and it doesn't end there >> many many more will lose their lives needlessly.
The real question is: WHEN WILL ENOUGH BE ENOUGH?

👏 🐕 🏆 HENRY THE HERO 🏆 🐕 👏
Henry, (Boston Terrier) alerted his owner to trouble by repeatedly head-butting the door to the baby's room earlier the week.
The parents checked to see why Henry was so urgent about getting to the 9 month old baby. They found her unable to breath and rushed her to the hospital. The baby was saved, thanks to Henry the Hero!

Bunny is asking for your new year resolution this year to please vow to be a better dog owner! Whether it's by dedicating more enrichment time (like going for walks), enrolling in a dog/owner obedience class together, taking your pet for annual vaccines, getting a microchip & city license, bringing your outside dog to live inside the home or all of the above! make a commitment to be better and to do better! "man's best friend" deserves to be treated as such. Happy Holidays!

Good morning rescue friends and supporters!
I'd like to take a few minutes to let you all know what has been going on and why I haven't been taking in any new rescues in the past few months....

Back in August I was hit by a car (as a pedestrian). The meniscus in my left knee was torn pretty severely and it was surgically repaired in November. My knee still doesn't bend and I can only get around on crutches... But I'm getting pretty damn good at using them!

I also was diagnosed with other health issues that are being addressed.

All these years of putting the animals first has caught up with me and like it or not; I now have to take time for myself. I think a lot of us forget that we have to do that sometimes!

313 K9 & Kitty Rescue is not closing, but it might be a while before I can get back into it full swing. I refuse to give less than 100% and right now I just don't have it to give... But I will!

So, with that said, I'd like to wish all of you a happy holiday season, BE SAFE, and give your K9's & Kitties a smooch from me.... See ya on the other side!

**update: cat captured and returned to owner**
THIS CAT IS NOT A THREAT TO PEOPLE...just wanted to point that out right away, so everyone knows, there's no reason to be afraid and/or overreact if you happen to see the missing Caracal Cat in Royal Oak. Caracal Cats eat mice and birds, not small dogs or children. They are nocturnal and pretty passive.
The cat weighs about 50lbs so it should be easy to spot. If you do see the cat, don't panic, call 911 from a distance as not to scare it away, so they can come get tree cat off the streets.
