✨ Meet River! ✨
River is a 4 month old female pitbull/lab/shepherd mix. She was born in our care by her mom Windy (also available for adoption!) and spent the first 9 weeks of her life in a loving foster, but is now in the shelter seeking an adoptive home.
River has 8 siblings, many of which have been adopted. While River is so happy for them, she is patiently waiting for her forever family to find her…
She has attended many events where she has interacted fantastically with adults, kids of all ages, dogs, and cats! She has a playful personality but absolutely loves her people dearly.
If you or someone you know is interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website.

💕 Meet Nora 💕
Meet Nora, a darling little 1 year old pitbull here to show the world that special needs dogs are able to overcome anything! Nora is blind, but we believe she can see big shapes and figures a bit. Nora's blindness comes from her being a double merle, which happens when two merle dogs are bred together, and the resulting double merle dogs are often are blind, as in Nora's case, deaf, or both! Nora doesn't let her blindness define her, and is proving over and over again that she's an incredible, trusting, loving little lady! She's already mapped out her foster home, and has started to gain confidence on walks as she learns that her human won't let her run into anything or get hurt!
Nora hasn't had a single accident in her foster home, and goes potty as soon as she's outside. She is great in the crate and isn't much of a barker at all. This week, Nora accompanied her foster mom on a day trip 5 hours away, and she was amazing in the car! Nora was brought to Border Tails in rough shape, and she still needs to gain quite a bit of weight. It takes a while to undo the starvation mindset, with slow progress being made every day with her! She is less frantic every meal, and her body is already looking better, and her eyes brighter with nourishment!
Nora would do great in a home with or without other dogs! She's very submissive and has gotten along with every dog she's met. Nora's unique differences hardly affect her at all. She has no idea that she's different. Nora is looking for a home that will dote on her and continue to show her how beautiful life can be. She's an absolute joy to have around, and if you're looking for a mid/low energy tiny happy special pitbull, we're sure you're going to fall fast in love with her. I bet you're saying, "Whaaaaat! Is this little dog really housebroken, crate trained, dog friendly, good in the car, and quiet, for real??" And the answer is yes, she really is that special! So don't wait to jump
Animal rescue is not for the faint of heart. Comment an encouraging message to those in this thankless field!
Featured in this video is Mummy. She is about 1 years old and full of so much love to give.

🌈 Riya Update 🌈
It is with heavy hearts that we share some sad news about our beloved Riya. Today, we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to let her go. Riya had been facing increasing neurological and physical challenges in the last 24 hours, and despite our best efforts, her condition was deteriorating.
Our dedicated veterinarians, who have been with us every step of the way, determined that the most humane and compassionate choice was to allow Riya to rest peacefully. While this decision was heart-wrenching, we know it was made out of love and respect for Riya's well-being.
Riya brought so much joy and love into our lives and to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her in such a short time. Her spirit and courage will always be remembered and cherished.
Thank you to everyone who supported Riya and our team during this difficult journey. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to us.
Rest in peace, sweet Riya. You will forever be in our hearts. She was surrounded with so so so much love. 🌈
✨ Staff Appreciation ✨
We absolutely love our jobs with our whole hearts. You couldn’t work in this field if you didn’t have a burning passion for these animals. But that doesn’t make the losses and the hardships easier to navigate.
Everyday we see neglect, abuse, and owners just giving up on their pets. And yet despite the emotional and physical exhasution that comes from giving so much of ourselves to the animals we care for everyday, we still continue to fight for each of their lives
✨ Supporting Riya ✨
Meet Riya, a resilient pitbull who recently came into our shelter as an owner surrender. Riya's life took a sudden turn three weeks ago when she became paralyzed in her back end. Adding to her challenges, she is now extremely emaciated and experiencing a false pregnancy. Despite these hardships, Riya's spirit remains unbroken. She may be sad, but her eyes light up with joy when she gains some freedom using her wheelchair and around canine companions and our attentive staff. It's heartwarming to see her wag her tail and enjoy the simple pleasures of movement once again.
Riya's strength and determination inspire us. She embraces her new mobility with enthusiasm and gratitude, reminding us of the incredible resilience dogs possess. Let's give Riya the chance to live her best life and shower her with the love she so richly deserves.

🌈 Saying Goodbye to Kiwi 🐾
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Kiwi's passing. Over the last 2.5 months, we fought alongside her, giving her all the love and care we could muster. Kiwi's spirit was strong, but her body was struggling. Last week, she went to a loving foster home, but over the weekend, her condition worsened. Her body began filling with fluid, and she became even weaker, unable to get up. Despite our desire to keep fighting for her, we knew the kindest thing we could do was to let her go.
Kiwi was surrounded by love until the very end, and she did not leave without enjoying some yummy treats—McDonald's fries, ice cream, burgers, nuggets, and even chocolate! We take comfort in knowing she is now free at the Rainbow Bridge, free from pain and suffering. Our community has been right by our side throughout Kiwi's journey, and we want to thank each and every one of you for your unwavering support and love.
Kiwi’s memory will live on in our hearts, and we will continue to honor her spirit by helping other dogs in need.
Run free, sweet Kiwi. You will be missed beyond measure. 🌈💔

🖤🐾Breaking the Myths of Black Dog Syndrome 🖤🐾
At Border Tails Rescue, we’re committed to giving every dog the love and care they deserve, but did you know that black dogs often get overlooked in shelters? This phenomenon is known as Black Dog Syndrome, where black dogs are adopted at lower rates compared to their lighter-colored counterparts. Let’s break the myths and show some love to our beautiful black dogs who are just as deserving of a forever home!
Black Dog Syndrome refers to the tendency of black dogs to be passed over for adoption in favor of lighter-colored dogs. There are several theories as to why this happens, including the belief that black dogs are harder to photograph, misconceptions about their temperament, and even superstitions. However, black dogs are just as loving, friendly, and amazing as any other dog!
Don’t let the color of their fur fool you. Our black dogs are full of love and are eager to find their forever homes. If you’re ready to add a new furry friend to your family, consider adopting one of our amazing black dogs.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED! 🚨
Do you remember Kiwi? She came to us extremely underweight, malnourished, and with the help of our medical team, we discovered a hole in her stomach.
She was in a foster, but for reasons outside of her control, had to be brought back to the shelter. We are desperately looking for a foster or adopter for this girl so she can heal in a home, rather than the stressful shelter environment.
We’ve given her fluids to keep her hydrated and she is still eating well. But she’s not gaining weight like we would want her to be at this point. We have sent her bloodwork in and the results showed that she has diabetes. She didn’t have diabetes when she came in!
If you would like to support us by contributing to Kiwi’s medical bills, you can donate on our website at bordertailsrescue.org/donate
