✨Help us help more of them! ADOPT an FDR pup‼️

🎁Come meet your future best friend tomorrow. We will have three dogs excited to find their forever families - Sierra, Bubbles and Mocha!

🐶We also have the AMAZING Alma, Chula and our three newly available T pups for private meets.

❄️Alma is being fostered in Tahoe currently, so we’re saving her the trip tomorrow, but don’t let that deter you from applying to meet her!

💝Chula is still with her caretakers at the prison, so private meets (off site) are also required for her.

🐾We always have private meets for our puppies under 5 months!

😍💝Meet Tia, Taylor, and Tootsie Roll – Sweet Puppies Ready for Forever Homes!💝😍

Tia, Taylor, and Tootsie Roll are 11-week-old large-breed mixed female puppies looking for loving families to call their own. Surrendered at just five weeks old, they spent their early weeks together in a foster home before moving to individual foster homes, where they’ve flourished with crate and potty training, socialization, and enrichment activities.

These cuddly pups are great with other dogs and have been socialized with other dogs in their foster homes. They would thrive in a home with a canine sibling, though they can also be the only dog if given continued socialization. They’ve done wonderfully around a five-year-old child in their foster home and adore playtime and snuggles.

Ideal homes will provide exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent training to help them grow into well-rounded adult dogs. Their foster homes have provided a great foundation but they will need a dedicated family committed to this training, continued appropriate socialization as well as someone home often, as they’re still young and learning.

If you’re ready to add joy, energy, and unconditional love to your life, Tia, Taylor, or Tootsie Roll could be the perfect match. Apply today to meet them! ❤️

✨❤️A DOZEN DOGS SAVED YESTERDAY!❤️✨

We are so grateful to our fosters for allowing us to save these lives. We pulled so many long term, at risk dogs and pups that were growing up in the shelter. We can’t wait for them to settle in and experience the world outside the shelter. With such great fosters and future adopters, they’ll surely blossom!

Welcome our BLUEY CREW!

🏥❤️‍🩹We have two BIG surgeries coming up for two special pups: Ghost and Wendelin❤️‍🩹🏥

Ghost (white puppy) we brought in a while back from City of Lodi Animal Services. He had a limp that we were told looked to be from an old injury. We then brought him to the vet to check it out and while it has improved, we’re told there are concerns of bone fragments around the knee that could begin to cause issues going forward, so he will have surgery to clean up the joint - estimated cost: $3200-3600.

Wendelin (black and white puppy) is a new addition to FDR. She was brought to Bradshaw Animal Shelter with a limp. She had x-rays done there and it was noted as a right front leg fracture and she was deemed “rescue only.” Lori Haney Woodward who volunteers at Bradshaw offered to foster her and we were able to bring her into FDR. We brought her to our vet whose recommendation is for external fixator surgery. This requires daily bandage changes on day 1, 3, and 7 and ongoing checks that the hardware is working correctly. This would then be removed. The recovery time is about 8 weeks and cost is
$3400-$3800.

We can’t say yes without your donations. Thank you all who have made this possible by donating to FDR!

📋💛Alma and Chula have put “find my forever family” at the top of their 2025 New Year’s Resolutions list. Can you help them achieve this goal?💛📋

🐶Alma is a LOVELY, sweet, young husky mix without the husky chattiness. She loves a car ride, walk and adventure and adores other dog friends.

✨Chula is a DARLING meatball who has graduated from the Paws on the Block program and is awaiting the right home! She’s young and playful, but also so sweet and loving.

Let’s share these pups to find them forever homes ASAP, so they can move on to the next items on their resolutions lists - treats, walks and naps!
