Roxy is out of the shelter 🎉
We've updated with her freedom pics 🖤🤍

We are still short $100 to meet our goal for her
THANK to everyone who donated and shared ❤️

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

We have the chance to get Roxy out today. After posting for a foster we had an amazing foster offer come through.

We also needed a temp foster during the time the family would be away for Thanksgiving.

So this morning we coordinated and put a plan together and got it worked out 😃

Huge thanks to Marissa Kintzing and David Holman for working it all out and help save Roxy so she wouldn't be euthanized.

Roxy needs to go to our vet and start her initial vetting then be set up for spay in a couple weeks.

But we need the funds to get her out. Our vet bill is still high and we have to get her bill paid.

We also have dogs leaving in a few weeks and need to get them ready also
Two dogs needing altered and HC'S done. Which is gonna be over $300

We need $500 total for Roxy to pay for everything which is all the things we always do.

Rabies
Booster vaxx
4dx
Fecals
Convenia
Nexgard and Interceptor plus.
And spay in 2 weeks.

Please help by sharing and amy amount helps tremendously 🙏

FOSTER FOUND ☺️

Midland, Tx

Today we received the urgent list of dogs at our local shelter 😟

We had thought by now Roxy would have been adopted
But a dog her size isn't for everyone.
She is 84lbs.

We'd love to take her but in need of a committed foster.

It would be for 4 to 6 weeks until she can be fully vetted and be ready for transport to our partner rescue up north.

If interested in fostering Roxy

Please fill out our foster app below
Must be approved
We take care of all vetting, food and supplies.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

It's $5 Friday again

With the newest intakes we have had and all the vetting we have already poured into them

Not counting getting them more vetting such as spay and neuter, more vaxx etc.

▶️We are going to have to close our intake for awhile◀️

Unfortunately we didn't get enough funds to cover any of these.

Rescues don't have unlimited funds and vet bills need paid.
Vet care isn't free and we know many feel just keep taking more and "figure it out"
Well when a rescues bill keeps increasing, you just can't keep adding to it

Our vet is THE MOST understanding vet and does so much to help our dogs.
But they also need paid.

We've been paying on it as we go and appreciate how patient they are with us.

Right now it's at
$2,520.22 and will go up drastically with upcoming vetting appts.

But until we can get our bill paid down more and get the vetting covered for our current dogs we can't take more.

8 dogs left two days ago and cost us over $700 to make that happen.

And we have been bombarded with emails and messages to take more dogs.

Unfortunately we cannot

So if you'd like to really help us out you can make a donation on the links below or call in a donation directly to our vet.

FOSTER FOUND

🆘️🆘️🆘️🆘️🆘️🆘️

Midland, Tx
Midland Animal Services is in crisis 💔

After visiting the shelter today
We managed to pull one dog

But while there we found this poor little girl all alone curled up

Her sister got adopted and now she's left alone 😔

Y'all, the shelter is FULL
Every single small and large kennel is filled
Some with multiple dogs
Because people are just leaving their pets on the streets and dropping them off at the shelter faster than ever.
Refusing to spay and neuter.

We in rescue are exhausted and yet here we all are.
The shelter staff is exhausted

It's heartbreaking more than ever now.

So here we are BEGGING for a foster to help save this lonely puppy who will most likely be euthanized soon

Because 17 plus dogs came in yesterday and oh wait more to come.

So if your interested in fostering and live in Midland or close to
And would like to save a life

Today as you know was our transport day
And when that happens, it means we can hopefully save another life when someone can make room.

Even if it's just one dog. One is better than none!

So after transport one of us stopped by the shelter and we met this little guy that was shaking in his roll cage. And alllll the roll cages were full.
Unbelievable how full our shelter is.
With so many amazing dogs.
But very few people reclaim their dogs, so many strays and owner surrenders taken in.

So we got him out to meet him and he immediately jumped in our lap. We knew we couldn't leave him. He already felt safe.

So we put a plea out to our fosters and our wonderful David Holman stepped up and said get him 🥹
He was able to take a smaller dog 🙏

David just had two very long term foster dogs leave today (Zara and Sassy), so he really wanted to dive back in and help another. Our fosters find comfort in doing this. And for that we are beyond grateful for.

So we welcomed Gum Drop to the SDR family today
It opened a small kennel since dogs are pouring in.

Gum Drop went straight to our vet and got his initial vetting done

Rabies
He'll get booster vaxx in 2 weeks
4dx - neg
Fecals - neg
Convenia
ProHeart shot
And set to be neutered in 2 weeks

We raised under $100 for the 8 dogs who left today so we desperately need funds for Gum Drop
Our bill is still very high and we've been able to pay on it but still sitting over a thousand dollars.

So approximately $350 is needed for his vetting.

Happy new adventures our sweet babies.
Fostering is so rewarding, yet can be so emotional.
Thank you to all the amazing people who sacrifice so much of their daily lives to give each dog a new life of their own.
You are so appreciated 🥹

And thank you to everyone who plays such a vital role in helping us get each and every dog ready for their fur-ever homes.

To all our supporters, fosters, vet staff, shelter staff, everyone who shares our posts, our northern partner rescues and our transport team plus to all the wonderful people who adopts one our WTX dogs.
THANK YOU!
We are so grateful to our rescue village because it does take a village 🐾🚐🫶
Safe travels. We love you babies

It's that time again 🎉❤️

We have 8 lucky puppers headed for new adventures tomorrow morning to meet their new families and our partner rescues in the NE!

Blair
Sammy
Zara
Sassy
Buzz
Blaze
Hunny
Teddy

Many of these pups have been with us a long time
Several months since early August and it's finally happening for them.

A bit of an emotional one we must say but also a happy one. 🥹🥺

We had the opportunity come our way to add extra dogs and we are so grateful.

Some needed new 4dx tests
Others needed vaxx done, all needed fecals along with HC'S.
And a couple had to be released from medical status.

It's a whopper of a bill for these 8 to leave but just so we can have something to go towards our bill, we want to raise as much as possible.

We can't ask for a specific amount to sponsor because to break it down it would be over a $100 for a few of them.

Any amount is appreciated and ask if you could please share

Whatever the amount can be donated will go directly to our vet bill which reached little over $3k today 😧

Keeping our intake open is getting next to impossible even if we had open fosters.

Little update on our sweet boy Dasher.
He went to see our vet today and got a full check up.

He had his 4dx done and has tick fever so he's on treatment for that
He has a slight URI going on and received two antibiotic shots and on oral meds.
We also noticed sores on him from all the fleas and ticks he had.
He will need another Convenia shot in 10 days to keep treating the URI.
He had fecals done and started on Interceptor.

Todays bill for Dasher was $358
And our total vet bill now after several appts is over 2k

We know we've been asking alot for donations
But we've taken on alot recently and wanted to help our shelter dogs.

Dasher was one we could not look away from. After seeing his defeat we knew he needed us. And when they said he'd be on the urgent/eu list his time was very limited.

This little 25lb gentleman came into our local shelter as a stray.
He was one of the saddest most defeated dog we'd seen in awhile.
Fleas and ticks all over, and just so run down. His street life was nothing nice 😔

For days he would just stay curled up and occasionally look around from his kennel.

But as you can see in just two days he is so full of life, loves to give snuggles, and be a lap dog.
He is so gentle and got his first pup cup today.
Some of us are pretty obsessed with him but how can we not be 🥰

He is so happy and grateful and he shows it every day. He has an old soul to him 🖤🤍

If you'd like to help pitch in for Dasher here are ways to donate below.
And please share for us.

What do you do on a Saturday?

New names
Carol and Dasher ❤️💚

Spontaneously get together and go rescue shelter dogs.

Not a plan at all. But after alot of deliberating and just saying let's do this. And alot of coordinating
We did it!

Soooooo please help us welcome
Edgar and Pixie to the SDR family
(New names coming soon)

Pixie supposedly had adopters coming on Friday but they never showed up.

Edgar was a very sweet yet sad dog that just stayed curled up in his kennel and then found out he was to be on next urgent list come Monday.
We couldn't stand it any longer so we just said let's do this and figure it out.

Huge thanks to everyone who literally said ok I'll take a dog 30 mins before shelter closed and basically had little time to prepare.

Thank you David Holman for running up and grabbing Pixie
And to Danielle Brown for saying yes to temp fostering Edgar until he goes to another foster next week.

We had no time to post prior to this to try and raise donations.

So now we are here in hopes to get some funds raised for them

Each dog will cost approximately 💲4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ to fully vet

They each need
Rabies vaxx
Booster vaxx
4dx
Fecals
Convenia shot
Nexgard and Interceptor

And set up in two weeks to be altered.

As you know we've taken in several dogs because we just want to help these poor dogs out.

Any amount truly helps and we ask if you can please share.

SAFE

Midland, Tx

Foster needed to help us save another shelter pup. 🙏

This sweet 25lb boy came in as a stray. He was so incredibly scared and so shut down from life on the street. He would just lay curled up on his bed in his kennel.

Over time the staff worked with him and got him out for socializing, belly rubs and showing him not all humans are bad.

Edgar has really shown his resilience after a sad life.
We want to show him to what true love is, but as you know we have filled up again.

So we desperately need a foster for him who can commit.
It would be 4 to 6 weeks until he can get all his vetting done and head up north to our partner rescue.

If you live in Midland or close to and interested in fostering this beautiful boy
Please fill out our foster app below

We take care of all vetting, food and supplies.
