🙏 BIG SHOUTOUT to Furvor for their generous donation of a BUNCH of supplement chews to SHDR recently! We had many of our pups who enjoyed the different formulas and our fosters were able to grab a few shots - new Mom Kara got the Aller-Imun, big former puppy mill mom Mulan the rottie says the Mobility ones are perfect for her size, King the husky mix felt a little under pressure to decide but loved his Aller-Immun, sweet parapalegic Minnie who uses a custom doggy wheelchair to get around uses the Omega to help with her skin issues, and little shy girl Mouse the toy hoarder enjoys any treat she gets as long as all the attention is not on her! A few of Kara's pups posed, too, although they just watch mama enjoy them for now. 🥰

We will definitely be trying out some of their Bone Broth Toppers soon, too - what a great way to get our dogs superfood blends and hydration in the form of every dog's favorite - a food topper! WE'LL be going through them super quick, of course, but we love that for the average home, they're good for up to 3 months. Nothing makes mealtime more enjoyable for dogs than a good bone broth topper and we're impressed by the nutritional denseness!

Thanks again to Furvor for the donation - Kara and the gang say two paws way up! 🐾

🐾🆘 FOSTERS NEEDED FOR 2 LOCAL SURRENDERS!
We want to take both of these gorgeous gorgeous girls in and get them all vetted up and find great homes for them, but our fosters are currently tapped out. Can YOU foster for us and give them a safe place to land while we match them up with a wonderful home - OR maybe you're interested and want to jump in and try a 3 week trial with either one so YOU'VE got first dibs?

👉 Adorable little Shiba Inu female CORA who is good with other dogs and kids (not been around cats that we're aware of) - she's independent and wicked smart

👉 Beautiful young adult Miss MAGGIE who is great with all people and loves other dogs (has a lot of energy so some dogs can get a little annoyed by her energy at times) and is great with her current cat roommate (although has gotten in some chasing habits while playing with him, but he doesn't mind - some cats might not love it lol) She loves giving EVERYONE big kisses and lots of unconditional love!

🥰 Reach out and/or APPLY now so we can bring these girls into rescue and get them all vetted and do some matchmaking! tinyurl.com/appshdr

Update 2 : Zane is at AIC in Webster getting bloodwork to see if there are any areas of concern

Update: to hospitalize Zane it’s around 1700$ deposit

He’s non symptomatic except for some blood in firm p**p (he was recently wormed) and poison control was ok with us discharging and pursuing bloodwork in the morning. He will be monitored closely over night and any vomiting or diarrhea we will bring him back to emergency. He will be seen by either our regular vet (if I can wake up at 745) or urgent care tomorrow.

Funds still needed

We are at EMERGENCY (REVS) and have cute little new rescue Zane who was practicing Barkour while his foster was at work and managed to knock a bottle of ibuprofen off a counter and at least chewed one in half. The foster (who is devastated) isn’t sure if he actually ate any but his most recent p**p was bloody. (See photo)

For those who do not know NSAIDS (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc) for humans are extremely toxic to our pets and are metabolized poorly by the liver which can cause stomach ulceration and liver failure/damage.

We called the aspca pet poisoning hotline and were told to head to the vet.

This service is 95$ and you are given a case number and the vet can call and reference the poison controls vast knowledge and figure the best way to treat.

We are looking at least around 400-500$ of unexpected vet charges. Perhaps more, depending on diagnostics. You can call a donation direct to Zane +1 (585) 775-0020 under secondhand dog rescue (5853055111)

Thank you and we will update this post with news

In the unlikely event we fundraise more than the vet charges it will go directly to Zane’s neuter surgery or other dogs in our care

Makeover Saturday! 😍 SCRUFFY TO FLUFFY~

Look at sweet BLESSING who got a new look and a much better chance at getting noticed after his donated grooming by Grooming by Mallory at the Paws & Pals Dog Salon! Mallory reports he was a willing subject and was well-behaved. Blessing is a sweet little Yorkie mix who is 5 years old and was surrendered because his owner lost her husband and had 3 young kids and other dogs to care for and needed to do the best by them that she could. He's barely a teenager in small dog years and has many years to offer someone as a great companion, and now he should get all the attention he deserves!

Apply if interested! 🐾

🤏🐾 We've got SMALLS! Numerous! Almost all young AND healthy AND friendly!
That doesn't happen often in rescue! 😮
All local surrenders who are under 20 lbs and floofy (or will be again once they grow back out) - except Brownie Seymour who are short-haired

👉 ZANE - 1 yr old shih tzu mix male, just got freshly groomed yesterday (THANKS !), friendly (surrenderer said was good around ppl including kids, dogs, cats)
👉 SHUGG - 1 yr old shih tzu mix male, also freshly groomed yesterday (THANKS, Care-A-Lot Pet Grooming ), super friendly (don't judge him by his current shaved down look, he was severely matted and his groomer did an awsome job with him! It'll grow back!)
👉 GITSY - 3 yr old shih tzu mix who's currently very scared but was reportedly friendly and social in her last home
👉 WINNIE - 4.5 month old 9 lb border collie/cavalier mix, needs someone to spend more time with her and work on housetraining, still a puppy
👉 TYE & HUDSON gorgeous bonded father & son chihuahuas
👉 PUMPKIN SPICE - female, 1 yr old pom/pug/terrier, is possessive of her stuff so being only dog may be best bet
👉 HEAVEN - 5 yr old male mini poodle, uses a belly band now but on the schedule for neutering which should help his leg lifting permanently - belly band works fine for now
👉 BLESSING - 5 yr yorkie mix, sweet and friendly
👉 BROWNIE - 1 yr old chihuahua who is at least partially deaf but is friendly, playful, loves walks and snuggling and good with kids at her foster's
👉 SEYMOUR (available after a decompression) - 1 yr old chi is currently *extremely* scared and shut down and needs at least a week in his very quiet corner of his foster's to chill, but then will be available to a patient loving adopter

APPLY to get approved and meet any of the above - this is a rare occurrence to have this many CUTE young and healthy smalls who are almost all friendly and not... the small dog stereotype! Most can be seen on our website for more info, a few haven't even been listed yet! secondhanddogrescue.com 😁

HELP - little FLOOFS in need of fosters AND a groomer!

3 little shih tzu mixes have come in in the last week that we don't have individual fosters for at the moment, so they're with one of our fosters who has more dogs, and could really use a quieter place to land and recoup.

All 3 are young, 1-3, and came from separate homes. 2 males, 1 female. All came in with no vetting but we've got their shots up to date and have them on the schedule for neuters and spay at our vet which is included in their adoption fees. All are nervous and a bit anxious, but one especially is more friendly and outgoing from the get-go than the other two.

GITSY is the girl who needs fostering as priority as she's most scared - the shih tzu mix on the carpet and couch in the pics, white with tan spots
SHUGG is a year old male shih tzu mix also and is actually friendly and ready for interaction with people but needs grooming BADLY, the poor guy
ZANE is the one shown on the red deck and is also a year old and a shih tzu mix of some sort

Shugg is HORRIBLY matted and we're putting out an SOS for him as well to see if there is a groomer anywhere around who is willing to get him in quicker than normally available because we know everyplace is so busy and full. But this little guy needs it - AND he's the most friendly!

Please apply to foster and/or trial adopt - and let us know if you know any groomers willing to squeeze Shugg in their schedules since he'll feel SO much better after getting groomed!

Apply: tinyurl.com/appshdr

Getting the cute little girl into a foster is our first priority as she's the most scared in the busy environment she's in right now. But we definitely are looking for fosters for the other 2 as well.

Update out of surgery recovering

URGENT

LOCAL DOG NEEDS A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

Meet ANNABELLE

Just look at that squishy bulldoggy face and tell her you think she should be dead because her owners weren’t responsible.

We say she deserves to live and be loved!

This pregnant dog was in labor 36 hours before brought in by its owner to REVS emergency and the owners refused to have her c-sectioned and wanted her put down instead. We got the call from Dr Bruce and gave the go ahead to have an emergency C section and the dog now needs a foster and a new family.

The people who waited to get her care caused the pup she was carrying to pass away and without the C-section she would pass away horribly from sepsis.

She’s in SURGERY right now!

This is the second pregnant /nursing mom we’ve helped in the last 4 days and we need HELP

CAN YOU FOSTER HER?

DOLLY is a gorgeous adult boxer/staffy mix who has energy for days and loves people. 🥰 She's a super happy pup with a huge smile and lots of silly antics that's crate-trained, housetrained, and knows her basic commands. She is doing better on leash walks every day. Her favorite pastimes are zipping around a yard, splashing in pools, and chasing her favorite ball. Dolly would thrive in an active home with a fenced-in yard to expend all that energy. Barring that, someone who takes daily walks and is active might work. Dolly is a natural swimmer who loves playing in the water! She melts into a puddle at your feet when pet and prepares for belly rubs. 🫠

Dolly gets along great with some dogs and not with others. (no cats for her) We'd want to do a meet and greet with any other dogs in the home to ensure their energy matches. She would make an excellent exercise buddy and loyal companion. If you're looking for a furry friend who will bring laughter and joy to your life, Dolly is the pup for you!

FOSTER NEEDED - and her adoption fee is SPONSORED for a good match! Please share to help us find the perfect home for this deserving girl!

SWEET SENIOR PITTY! ❤️
Just look at this beautiful dog! Please help us find the perfect golden years home for Ms Jules! She was adopted 4 years ago from us and even at that time was iffy on other dogs, and in the meantime, she has gotten worse on her walks when encountering other dogs, especially after one came after her. Now she takes the offense when she encounters other dogs. She's now about 8 years old estimated and fully vetted,
💪 HER STRENGTHS:
- Super loving and affectionate 🥰
- Doesn’t bark
- House-trained
- Enjoys attention, treats, and car rides
📉 CHALLENGES:
- While she generally does well with children, kids can be a bit too energetic and loud for her at times, which makes her anxious; she often shakes and refuses to eat when things are too crazy in her current home
- It's challenging to take Jules to places with other pets, including on walks around the neighborhood. She's more of a stay at home girly, like many of us. 🤷‍♀️ If it's just a car ride, great, but not where there might be other dogs.
- She dislikes having her nails trimmed and can be difficult to bathe.
- Loud noises can frighten her

She's coming back to us because of the other dogs situation, as well as since she came into the homes, the two younger boys have grown up and bigger and louder and more rowdy, and this makes her very anxious. She'd love a quieter home with only teenaged kids or none, and no other animals. A nice fenced-in yard would be perfect, or at least a yard big enough to be taken out back to potty in on a leash.

⌛️ Jules' time is almost up - we currently have no fosters without other dogs, so she is staying at her current home for short-term, but they have a new baby on the way in a week or two, and she'll need to be out of the house for sure by then. Our last resort at that time will be to bring her into one of our fosters with other dogs and she'll need to be crated and rotated with the other dog(s) in the home. Not ideal at all, but it'll be our last option.

SO - If you or someone you know has room in their pet-free home for this sweet dignified older lady, either to foster or to adopt at a greatly reduced adoption fee, please reach out!

Our fantastic Foster Coordinator and team volunteers will work with you to find a dog that fits your lifestyle, home, and family - and the added benefit of fosters is we can get good info from them on the dog's behavior, likes and dislikes, and the all-important PICTURES! Priceless!

SWEET FAYE is waiting... 😍
She's a beautiful young Old English Bulldogge who's estimated just 1-2 years old and super friendly with people AND other dogs. She's about 50 lbs and is just a beauty! We were told maybe not good with cats when surrendered, BUT at her foster's home, she's been fine with their cats, who are dog-savvy and not skittish for months now. She's fully vetted and housetrained. Faye loves to cuddle and has lots of fun playing with her toys at her foster's. She CAN be a mouthy player, so we're saying only kids teenagers and up for her, just to be on the safe side. As you can see in the video in the comments, Faye is GREAT on a leash, also, and loves walks!

✅ Get approved today so you can set up a meet with Faye and add to your family! ❤

‼️ FOSTER NEEDED so we can take in local surrender‼️
2 year old German Shepherd PAISLEY

She gets along great with the two male dogs in her home but not so much the female recently. She loves her humans - never been around kids.

Anyone interested in fostering while we work to find her a home or foster-to-adopt?

09/09/2024

We have been overwhelmed with requests to take dogs- we need help with both larger dogs and these smaller dogs. Our groomer can’t get us in til the 19th and several of these guys need a groom asap - we also need fosters for some of these and adopters (Zeus is pending adoption)

-Nio 1 year maltipoo - needs groom and full vetting (owner moving )

-Zeus 6 year old poo mix needs groom neuter (owner passed away) adoption pending

- Tye and Hudson - need groom and neuter and dental badly both have grade 4-5 heart murmur 5 year old and 6 year old father and son. Vet says the dental is very needed and we will err on the side of health and do the procedures even with the heart issues. They are adoptable as a bonded pair. Fee reduced for medical issues

- Jack 10 year old mix (owner going through life issues - prefer a temp foster to allow owner to get back on feet but potential for adoption) Cat friendly very sweet

- Carl - we’ve had this guy a while. Still looking for a good adopter

- Stray - the last dog is a male stray no chip or neuter estimated 4-6 years old. Came infested with fleas and lots of hair loss. Vet estimates been on run for several months to a year- on stray hold

If you want to help foster we need fosters for 3 of these guys and adopters for all (unless otherwise Noted)

If you want to donate to their care please spare or share
