💙💙Pup-Update💙💙

Hello GRR family!
Do you all remember River that was adopted back in September?

Well Mr. River is excited to announce he is LOVING his new furever family!
His hoomans say River is very sweet, always smiling, and can be quite the funny goofy little man!
To sum up River’s personality…they call him the “court jester” 🤣
River is very social and wants to say hello to everyone he crosses paths with!
His favorite things do in his day to day life is - getting the zoomies, taking a long morning walk, hanging out with his canine sibling, playing ball during the day, and going to the park.

River sure has came a long way from being lonely and abandoned on the San Antonio Riverwalk to now living his best golden life! 🥰

🥁🥁💙Adoption Announcement💙🥁🥁

It is with great pleasure that we announce the final adoption of the “rock band litter.” If you remember, these puppies came into GRR’s care and they had parvo, hookworms, etc. Some of them sadly did not make it. We are excited that Van Halen has finally found his happy ending!

What a long road for this boy, but he is healthy now and a good weight and will bring joy to his new family! Congratulations to his new hoomans and a special thank you to his fosters who nursed him to good health and set him up for success!!!

Congrats Van Halen and family!

🚨PUPDATE 🚨 Kelce seems to be in better spirits today and moving around a little bit more. Just look at that tail wag! I’m sure Kelce can’t wait to have a little more freedom and we are eager to see her run and play and flourish into the angel she already is. Surgery and treatment isn’t cheap. Our mission is to rehabilitate dogs and to rehome them into loving homes. As a rescue we heavily rely on donations and we can’t help more dogs in need without your help. Please consider donating to Kelce’s fund. Every dollar counts and we thank you for your support. https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-kelces-journey-to-recovery

Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to get involved with GRR? Fostering is a great way to help get dogs ready for their furever homes. It’s also a great way for your resident dog to have a temporary buddy and a way for you to see if adding an additional dog to your household is right for you. Just as we do with adoptions, we carefully take into consideration the dogs needs as well as your own to ensure a successful match and fostering experience. GRR does not a have kennel so we rely heavily on foster homes. Before we can accept a dog we must have a foster home for them to go. If you think fostering is for you, visit our website to learn more and let’s get more dogs rescued! https://grr-tx.com/is-fostering-right-for-me/

A gentle spirit is shining through: Kelce’s second chance needs your support.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-kelces-journey-to-recovery

Eight-year old Kelce came to GRR underweight, with heartworms and hookworms, a small mass on her nose and another on her eyelid, a severe limp in her right leg and her two, 4-month old puppies, Elway and Brees. Kelce had lived outside much of her life and likely had multiple litters of puppies over the years.

Even more heartbreaking was her emotional condition as Kelce was very shy and withdrawn, needed assistance getting in a car, needed to be fed by hand and was afraid of most things. The limp in her right rear leg spoke volumes about the pain she had endured.

Kelce’s life took a heartwarming turn when she arrived in GRR care and moved to her foster home. Surrounded by loving people, good food and medical attention, Kelce’s life has become much sweeter and she’s learning to trust again. An x-ray of Kelce’s leg revealed an obvious right femur fracture that was badly displaced as it had likely happened some time ago.

Kelce had surgery on October 21 which cost $3800. GRR is 100% committed to Kelce’s health and well-being but we can’t do it alone. Every donation helps and will go directly towards Kelce’s medical care.

One-week Post Surgery Update: Kelce is in quite a bit of pain so she’s on pain medications which make her drowsy. Her foster mom feeds her by hand as she’s not interested in eating. Of course Kelce is wearing the dreaded code and staying in her crate/x-pen except for short leash trips outside to potty. Kelce is happiest when getting pets from her foster mom who curls up next to her crate. The family kitty watches from nearby to be certain everything is OK. We can’t wait for the day when Kelce can run pain-free zoomies around the yard. If you have donated to Kelce’s GoFundMe, Kelce thanks you for your support. We are currently at 50% of our goal so appreciate your donation. 💕💕

Kelce’s story:A gentle spirit is shining through: Kelce’s second chance needs your support.On September 6, Gold Ribbon Rescue accepted a rescue-to-rescue transfer from Laredo for 24-095 Kelce and her two four-month-old puppies 24-096 Elway and 24-097 Brees. The previous owner could no longer afford to feed Kelce and her pups, such that Kelce was very skinny - estimated to be 10-12 lbs. underweight at an astonishing 40 lbs. Upon examination by our dedicated GRR vet, the extent of Kelce’s suffering became clear. She was not only battling malnutrition, but also contending with other serious health issues: heartworms, anaplasmosis and hookworms, a mass on her nose and another on her eyelid. Kelce was also not spayed. Even more heartbreaking was her emotional condition - being very shy and withdrawn – her spirit seemed diminished. She required assistance to get in the car and she could only muster being fed by hand. The limp in her back legs, especially in the rear right leg spoke volumes about the pain she had endured. Kelce’s story took a heartwarming turn when she moved to her foster home. Surrounded by compassionate people who showered, and who are still showering her with love and care, Kelce has begun to rediscover the joys of doggy-hood – good food, medical attention and a friendly kitty. Life has become sweeter now, as she learns to trust again. Kelce is improving and was strong enough for spay surgery and to have the masses removed. The x-ray of her legs revealed an obvious right femur fracture, however it is badly displaced and had likely happened some time ago. The femur will require replacement with a plate and a rod. Heartworm treatment has been postponed until the femur heals. This GoFundMe is for $4,000 - to cover the cost of Kelce’s femur surgery and rehabilitation scheduled for October 21st. Gold Ribbon is unwavering in our commitment to the health and well-being of Kelce. We are absolutely dedicated to her rehabilitation. But we can’t do it alone. Every donation helps and will go directly towards Kelce’s care. We appreciate your support.https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-kelces-journey-to-recovery

We have an adoption to announce and it is precious! Congratulations to this new hooman dad, who adopted sweet Buddy after seeing him through heartworm treatment. Buddy’s dad is a single guy who dotes on him all the time! They seem to have both filled a gap in their lives, and his dad is excited that Buddy is no longer on exercise restrictions. Good things are coming for both of them! And seriously…. Look at his cowboy hat!

Congrats to Buddy and his dad!! 💙💙💙
