🚨🚨 Seeking monthly donors 🚨🚨

Good morning DDF nation ☀️

If you are able, it would be SO greatly appreciated if you could set up a small monthly donation. As you know, we do not shy away from complex and expensive cases! This includes dogs with heartworm, skin conditions, in need of amputations or other costly surgeries, and many other complicated medical problems.

‼️ FUNDS ARE LOW ‼️ and we are soon getting to the point where we are going to have to say no to dogs with medical needs 😔

We have over 8,000 amazing followers. If each of you set up recurring monthly donations (of $1, $5, $10, etc.) it would give us the ability to help so many more dogs without hesitation caused by financial stress 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for your continued support! We could not do this without you! We have included instructions on setting up recurring donations in the flyer below 💛

If you are unable to donate, please share this post so it gets the attention we need!

Great Information!

When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.
