Jasper was left out on a chain 24-7. His owner surrendered him to the shelter because the neighbors complained he barked nonstop. Aussies are naturally vocal, but he does not bark that much as long as he gets his zoomies out and is given attention!! He sleeps through the night quietly with no issues. His neck is looking great where his embedded collar was! This was clearly a case of neglect. He is kid, dog, and cat friendly! Hes a bundle of energy and a little mouthy/jumpy. At 18lbs, he is a little boney and underweight. He needs to gain around 5-7lbs to be healthy. Hes a lovely young dog, at 1 years old and is a cuddlebug!#rescueanimals #PDAR #rescue #dog #cute #adoptdontshop #mixedbreed #aussie #energy
The stray feeder tried to leave Muffin by the food again, so she could move onto her next stop, but Muffin ran and got into the car. This dog used to be owned. She misses family life. She knows what a car is and was determined to get in it. She is crying and calling for help. The stray feeder ended up taking her home for now, but she has over 20 dogs and cannot keep her. If anyone can foster, adopt, or network with other rescues to try to get this baby placed please message my page. I cannot help her without a foster. I do not have room. She’s currently in Rio Grande Valley, Texas. We can have her transported anywhere in the North Eastern United States. #foster #rescueanimals #dog #sad #abandoned #dumped #alone #helpisontheway #networking
Amelia leash training
For any dog that has never been exposed to a leash, it can be frightening. Biting the leash, vocalizations, trying to flee, and rolling can be common fear responses. You can see Amelia’s progress as she’s learning to walk on leash. Treats, positive reinforcement, short training sessions, consistency, and for her I used another dog to assist in the teaching process. She is doing so much better, but this is still a work in progress as she has yet to go on an official “walk”. Rescue dogs sometimes need additional training. It’s not their fault they’ve never been taught! Please give them a chance! #rescueanimal #PDAR #adoptdontshop #training #scared #confidenceboosting #leashtraining #chance
Bobo was so scared and nervous at the vet today. His soulful eyes just stared directly into mine as if to ask me if it was going to be ok. Almost a month on antibiotics and he still has pneumonia and it has not gotten any better. More testing done, different meds prescribed, hoping it will get this baby situated.
Bobo
Bobo pneumonia update. He was first prescribed antibiotics the 20th of September! He’s doing so much better, but still very symptomatic.
Whew!
One of my fosters received a message that her recently adopted puppy escaped the adopters yard and took off! She rushed over to help look for the puppy and we joined a couple hours later. Thank goodness she was found as she was only 4lbs and to be lost in such a rural area with so many predators is terrifying! Thank goodness she was found later this evening! Thank you to everyone who came out to help!
Poor Bobo has a very bad upper respiratory infection that has turned into pneumonia. He’s being isolated right now and feels icky, but is in good spirits! He’s on a bunch of medication and hopefully he will continue to show improvement!
Fall in love
Fall is around the corner and Gracie is hoping someone will fall for her soon! Her foster family is going out of town starting this weekend and she would love to find a home before she has to leaf her foster home to a temporary one! She was just adopted and returned due to the adopters allergies. Back n forth, back n forth. It sucks!

Demanding Logan!
Logan loves attention! He has the classic bull terrier personality! He is imperfectly perfect! #bullterrier #PDAR #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop
