‼️immediate dog savvy foster needed! Auburn♣️ is back in boarding 😩 Unfortunately, his board & train and subsequent foster home stay didn’t go as expected, and he is in need of an experienced foster to help him get back on his feet.

M, 45lbs, affectionate, amazing temperament with humans, great with most dogs (we will help with proper intros and boundary setting). Please DM us if you think you can be the right person to give Auburn♣️ a second chance ❤️

PUPDATE: Biscuit (FKA Flax) and his Mama, Avocado🥑, were surrendered in February 2024. Unfortunately, two of his siblings could not be saved😥, but Biscuit was lucky🍀. He was adopted and given a new name for his new life! Look at him now! All grown up and, according to his mom, the "bestest boy"🐶

Avocado's litter was only one of FIVE that came into the rescue last year, and nearly all of those puppies were adopted.

We are so grateful🙏 for the social media engagement, financial support, and fosters/adopters that help us find forever homes for so many pups like Biscuit.

Is there anything cuter than a dog in a puffer? Adoptable Rhys thinks not. He’s been in care 180+ days and would love to stay warm with you (www.rrarsquad.org/apply and his adoption fee is only $50)

Friendly PSA that this cold 🥶 weather is likely unsafe for your pets, especially those that live outside. Please bring your outside pets in! There have been several reports of dogs who have froze to death over the last several days 😟

ADOPTED🎉! We’re down to our last available pitty puppy. Sound up to hear Salem’s tail wags at the vet 🙃 she had a taste of a forever home 🏡, but it was short lived at no fault of hers. Salem is so sweet, good with kids, cats, and dogs and, as you can see, has a great temperament. Apply for our lone ranger at www.rrarsquad.org/apply!

Eggs 🍳 update‼️We’ve raised 15% of the $6000 required for Eggs’ care. Please consider donating to him! No amount is too small, and everything is appreciated ❤️ https://www.zeffy.com/donation-form/donate-to-eggs

If you remember, we took on Eggs several weeks ago. He was malnourished, dehydrated, covered in wounds, positive for heart worms, and infested with internal parasites. To make matters worse, Eggs was shot and has numerous broken teeth that will need to be extracted.

Today, Eggs 🍳 is gaining weight on a strict refeed schedule, doing well with dogs and cats, and learning to love ❤️a glimmer of hope has returned to his eyes!

Eggs’ 🍳 care requires extensive funds that, frankly, we do not have 🙃. Please consider donating to him as we work through HW treatments, surgeries, deworming, and dental extractions.

It’s been a whirlwind week at RRAR! As a reminder, we are completely volunteer run by folks with full time jobs, families, foster and personal pets, etc. We do our best to respond promptly but sometimes life happens. We appreciate your interest and patience as we work through applications.

In the meantime, please enjoy this video of sweet Banksey here! 🐾 He is loving his time in the Goodwin catio, but would love a home even more! B&W, M, 15 weeks old. He is so playful and sweet! Apply for Banksey at www.rrarsquad.org/apply

Urgent foster need ‼️ We have 3 dogs who need immediate fosters! We would love to keep them in warm homes as the cold weather rolls in. Even a short term placement will buy us a little time 🙏🏼 please apply at www.rrarsquad.org

Auburn♣️ M, B&W mix, 45lbs, good with dogs (his trainer notes a strange hatred for sh*tzus🤨).

Daisy & Duke🤞🏻 are coming to us for the first time from a crowded shelter where they were scheduled to be euthanized. They will need a foster who is able to administer medicated baths and meds as required. They can be separated! 1 M, 1 F, approx 5 months old, 20lbs

ALL ADOPTED🎉 If we found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, we hope it would be filled with puppies. Introducing the rainbow litter 🌈

These sweet German Shepherd X Australian Shepherd babies are 5 weeks old and nearly ready to go. 6 boys and 1 girl would love to have forever homes lined up! 🏡 they are working on potty training and are eating wet food.

Surrendered when their mom had difficulty in birth, these pups were bottle fed; they are well socialized and handled.

Best guess on size is 45-80 lbs full grown. Descriptions of each pup can be found under their respective photos.

As always, donations are appreciated as each non-medical case costs us hundreds of dollars. Medical cases can exceed into the thousands. Every monetary donation is tax exempt.

New year, new life!🎉 Help us name (and fundraise) for our newest additions ❤️

At the last minute⏰, we pulled these two angel babies from a shelter to keep them from being euthanized. Mange is treatable, and we thought they deserved a chance! Approximately 5 months old, 1 male, 1 female, 19lbs.

There’s a few things we need for the puppies: names and donations! (and eventually, forever homes!)

Daisy and Duke? Cassie and Clark? Harry and Hermione? Please drop your name suggestions for our sweet male/female duo in the comments.

While we are grateful for the opportunity to rescue pets in need from our community, we can only do so with donations.
