🚀 The 2025 Rocket Community Challenge 🚀
Day 4: 💥 DOUBLE your impact💥

Thanks to your generous donations and support through the Rocket Challenge each year, we were able to say YES when we got the call about C**t, we didn't know what his medical would cost but we did know we had to help!

C**t’s journey to us began in tragedy. Found as a stray, he was scanned for a microchip, which led us to his original family, who revealed they had given him away years before. Further investigation uncovered that C**t had ended up with a man who intentionally withheld food, falsely claimed C**t had cancer, kicked him in the face, and ultimately abandoned him after C**t attempted to steal food because he was starving. Veterinary testing confirmed there was no cancer. Instead, C**t’s bloodwork showed clear signs of prolonged starvation, including severely elevated liver values likely caused by malnutrition.

Despite the trauma he endured, C**t’s story took a turn. With our support, he received the medical care, compassion, and stability he so desperately needed. In December, C**t found his FOREVER home!

His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of animals and the importance of our mission to say yes when help is needed.

30 days and no apps. Arlo is calling some BS. Says this ain’t right. 🤔 I’m a handsome boy. So what if summer isn’t my season. Winter is right around the corner ❄️ and I’ll be thriving in the snow! Maybe you have kids I can build a ⛄️ with? That would be fun. Please don’t have any other dogs to p*e on my snowman though. I wouldn’t like that. And no cats either. Weird little things, they are. I’m crate trained, ride well in the car, and know many commands so what’s the hold up, folks? A man needs out. (I am said man.)

🔹Day 3: Donation Match 🔹
Let’s keep the momentum going and DOUBLE our impact! 💪

At I Heart Dogs, we provide more than shelter, medical care, and adoption opportunities, we are committed to making each dog’s time with us meaningful. Through love, enrichment, and future-focused preparation, we help them heal and grow. One example is our Pack Walks: three-mile trail walks with volunteers that offer exercise, relief from the shelter environment, and exposure to the everyday experiences they’ll encounter in a home. It’s just one of the many ways we help set our dogs up for success in their forever families.

Today your donation for this challenge will go twice as far to help us keep saying "Yes, We can help!" 🙌

🤎 ZARA 🤎
New big head on the block and she is SO sweet. Loves to be pet and rest her head on your shoulder. 🥹 She’s a little nervous and unsure as to why she’s here, but she’s trying to make the best of it. She even has a two bedroom kennel complete with her own futon you can find her snoozing on all day. 😴

🤎 95 lb. big girl. She hasn’t been dog tested yet, but it’s on our to do list. She is spayed and heartworm negative! Yay!

💜 NORMA 💜
Our sweet girl. 🥹 A volunteer fav. A staff fav. The softest big head with rolls made of velvet. We have got to get this princess out of here. 👑

It was found that Miss Norma likes other dogs outside of her home, but inside her home…not so much! That’s okay! We all have our quirks. So, back on the look out for Norma’s folks. No other animals in the home. Must LOVE to be snuggled and kissed. 🥰 Must be 12/10 at belly rubs. Must agree to go on adventures so she can get her sniff on. She doesn’t ask for much.

💜 three years old, 65 lbs. of kisses, purebred wrinkle monsta
