Happy Summer😎 These pups all came in needing medical attention. Now all we need is to find them a family! Please consider helping these longer Salty Dogs residents find a home.

Elmer is a 7 year old chihuahua full of energy! He weighs under 10 lbs and keeps fit by wrestling his foster brother and chasing his tail. This little guy would do best in a home with another small buddy to play with. If you are interested in Elmer please go on our website to apply. As with any of our pups, if you previously sent an application for another dog but it was adopted there is no need to reapply. You just need to contact us at [email protected] to let us know.

Jeb was an owner surrender. His new family is the best! When they were present for a military event Jeb left their side to stand regally in line with the men in uniform. Although it saddens us to hear of his condition, we are thankful he is in a home where he is so loved instead of a shelter. Thank you to all who open your hearts and homes to senior dogs❤️

We had a great time with some of our volunteers painting our pets with April Bensch. She helped us turn our art into masterpieces at her Paint and Unwined Studio.

Ralph passed his vet check-up with flying colors! He is down to 119 lbs from diet, exercise and TLC. The vet said his muscular rear has saved him thus far from joint and hip issues. Even Ralph’s teefers are pretty good for a 10 year old lab. Our buddy is now ready to adopt! Please go on our website to find out more about Ralph and our other adoptable dogs🐾

Gertie Girl is a teeny chihuahua with a quiet, gentle demeanor. She is about 10 years old weighing 4 1/2 lbs. We currently have her on puppy food to get her healthy. Gertie will do best in a calm home with no stairs. She does well with dogs but only small due to her size. If you are interested in our girl please go on our website to apply🩷

Olaf moved on to his new home. We are so happy for this little man. His spunky personality will help fill the void of the dog his family recently lost.

Big Ralph is now a Salty Dog! We are so happy to welcome this chill 10 1/2 year old into our rescue. Ralph’s sweet lab personality shines through when he meets you. He is on a diet to lose excess weight while he looks for his new family. He loves cats, dogs and folks just wanting to lounge around enjoying Summer. Ralph will be up for adoption soon🐾

Bugsy not only got a new family, he got a doppelgänger! We wish a life for them all!

Patience name serves her well. This sweet girl was surrendered needing neglected vet care, love and attention. Over the last several months she has received all including heartworm treatments to give her heart a new start. Patience has been adopted by her foster parents who treat her as their baby. Best wishes to this family of now 3💙

Maggie headed north with her new family to spend the summer by the lake. Another sweet Salty Dog tale💙

Sadie update🤩We are thrilled to see how much better Sadie looks and feels since joining her foster mom. Because she had been living in a crawl space for awhile, this pup was unsure of just about everything that came her way. Sadie was timid, weak and tired. She is now gaining strength, weight and confidence. She loves riding in the golf cart and going on walks with the neighborhood pack. Heartworm treatment is scheduled so Sadie won’t be available for adoption until later but for now she is doing just fine💕

It’s National Donut Day!! Do you have pics of your pup proudly displaying a “donut” like some of our alumni Salty Dogs😝

This is Ralph; good ole’ boy 11 yrs old and weighing in at 130 lbs. Ralph’s dad just passed and his mom is losing her home on Monday. We don’t have a foster to take Ralph or we would. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, good with cats and dogs. If you can welcome this sweet senior into your home as foster or adopt please contact us at [email protected]

How awesome is this🥰

Bugsy is a chill little dude who was owner surrendered. The vet determined he suffered neurological damage years ago causing his hind legs to be weak. Bugsy also has a curved spine most likely occurring at the same time. The blessing is that this seems to cause him no pain. The shelter had his age as 13 but the vet speculates Bugsy is not that old. He loves his walks and actually hops like a bunny! Our buddy loves his human and he is fine with other dogs, Bugsy would also be fine as solo pet. A home without young children or stairs to navigate is best.. If you are interested in Bugsy please go on our website to apply.

We had a blast at Surfside Market yesterday! Events like this are opportunities for you to meet some of our senior pups, learn more about our rescue and opportunities to volunteer! We rely on our volunteers and fosters not only to oversee events but also to care for our pups and help raise donations for their needs. If you would like to know more about Salty Dogs Senior Rescue and how you can be a part, go to our website saltydogsrescue.org 🐾

Kirby is a friendly 10 year old beagle weighing about 30 lbs. Our buddy came to us from a shelter like a lot of our seniors, heartworm positive and needing spay or neuter. Because of this, Kirby has been in foster care for months going to treatments and waiting for his forever family. He has learned how to be a family pet with other dogs and people. Kirby came in not knowing housetraining, walking on a leash, sleeping in a bed of his own. Now he is ready to start the next chapter of his life! Please consider Kirby as an addition to your family. 💙Go to our website to find out more about our adoptable pets!

Come see us in Surfside tomorrow (June 4th) from 10-1 and meet some of our adoptable pups! This is a great event to get out and support local vendors!

Olaf is a 9 year old Maltese Shih Tzu mix. He is sweet, friendly and dog friendly. Olaf came in an owner surrender. We were told he had not been treated well by children so therefore he can be reactive with them. Olaf will make a wonderful companion as a solo pup or joining another small dog. We receive many applications for dogs like this little guy. Our process involves order of acceptance and best fit for the dog. Thank you for considering adopting a senior! All of our adoptable dogs are located on our website along with applications.

Dogs get overheated, dehydrated and more easily fatigued in the heat. This applies even more so to senior animals. Be mindful of their care during the hot summer months.

There were and still are war dogs who serve in battle; fearless pups and their handlers who sacrifice their lives to protect ours.

“WOOF”! Happy Sunday😎🐾🙏🏻

Remember this sweet girl? We put her in one of our foster homes yesterday. As we expected, Sadie is heartworm positive. Along with that, she is extremely thin with little to no fur on her rear due to extensive flea bites and ticks. Sadie has never had a bed, we were told. As you can see this is a dog so appreciative of the welcome she received. It will be a long road to get Sadie where she needs to be but you can rest assure this dog’s life is gonna be AMAZING from this day forward. Your donations give us the ability to give dogs like Sadie what they need. Thanks for all you do. We will share her progression and let you know when she is ready for adoption💕

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Holidays are meant to be celebrated. If your pet is not as thrilled as you are, pre-plan for what’s ahead.
