**UPDATE: Foster found! Thank you, Debra Jo Tridle !****

Hi, TSIR community! We are seeking a foster caregiver on urgent, short notice for this sweet boy. His name is Dyno, and he's described as very social and sweet! He was headed to a different rescue organization, but his tag fell through at the last minute, leaving him in scary limbo!
🐱
If you have space in your home to care for this tiny nugget until he finds his forever family, please message us or contact [email protected]! His eye is NOT infected or painful (it's scarring from a previous infection), but his foster will need to be able to administer an ophthalmic solution to expedite the healing.
🐱
He would arrive tomorrow, November 10th! Unable to foster? Please spread the word!

💓📢 ADOPTABLE PET ALERT! 📢💓

Antila and Bandit are still waiting patiently for their forever homes! Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and ready to find their people. Details and links to their respective petfinder profiles:

🐱Antila is one of the greatest cats of all time - one of those kitties that even self-proclaimed "dogs-only" people would love. She's super mellow, affectionate, playful, and easy going. She also has an absolute heart of gold and raised a total of 6 orphaned kittens (from different litters) as her own. We think she's 2-3 years old. Read more about her on her adoption profile!🐱

🐶Bandit is a sweet mature gentleman, estimated to be around 9 years old. He loves to stay at the side of his person and give kisses. He's mellow, quiet, and very well housetrained. He likes other dogs and is mild-mannered around cats. He becomes nervous around loud noises, so he'll thrive in a calm environment where he can fully relax. He's undergone so much transition lately, but he's all around a great dog who's just craving love and stability.🐶

Here is Bandit's petfinder profile: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/bandit-72821337/co/denver/the-snuggle-is-real-animal-rescue-co552/

And here is Antila's: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/antila-72779577/co/denver/the-snuggle-is-real-animal-rescue-co552/

Contact us to meet either of them today!

The Snuggle is Real Animal Rescue is dedicated to serving last-chance dogs and cats who would otherwise be euthanized in overcrowded shelters. Sadly, by the time these furbabies reach the rescue, many of them have already experienced countless scary moments. Even the best shelters are often loud and stressful for their wards, and some animals have previously experienced cruelty or neglect as well. Therefore, some of TSIR's charges are inevitably sensitive souls, who become overwhelmed by unfamiliar situations.

TSIR is committed to supporting animals' behavioral health, in addition to their physical health. For this reason, they have partnered with positive-reinforcement/force-free training professionals. Training adhering to these philosophies has been compared to "doggy therapy," because it helps dogs communicate with people and other animals, develop confidence, and learn that the world is safe. These skills are especially important in today's rescue ecosystem. With a rising population of animals in need, adoptions have slowed to a crawl. Training helps dogs find their forever homes more efficiently and transition to their new lives more comfortably.

Unfortunately, even though these trainers are very generous with their time and resources, the cost of training squeezes the limited funds of a small rescue organization. Please help us fund some much-needed support for our nervous-nellies!

HOW has this sweet, goof-a-potamus not been adopted yet!??
🐶
Perdita is...
✅ Good with dogs
✅ Good with cats
✅ Good with calm children (just a little scared of the louder variety)
✅ Crate trained
✅ House trained
✅ Fully vaccinated and spayed
🐶
1-year-old Perdita came to us over three months ago. Although she was very scared upon arrival, she has blossomed into a super affectionate and silly pup. She's still a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and loves to snuggle. Her zoomies are just about the cutest ever, and she hops like a kangaroo!
🐶
Interested in meeting Perdita? Message us or email [email protected]! Or help her find her person by sharing and spreading the word! 🧡

100. 💯. One hundred. That's the number of animals The Snuggle is Real has welcomed since we opened our doors two years ago. 100 is both a small and a large number. It is small because many facilities-based organizations oversee 100 adoptions per month. It is large because per our model, every single one of these sweet animals would otherwise have been euthanized. There are now 100 additional little lives out there - experiencing love and the world beyond the shelter kennel - that otherwise would not have had the chance.

While we are celebrating this milestone within our organization, we are also acutely aware of the growing population crisis among dogs and cats in our country, and we recognize that there are hundreds more who need us. Reach out about our adoptable animals and other ways to get involved!

PSA: Pet adoptions are slow nationwide right now, and euthanasia rates are higher now than they have been in decades. If you've ever thought of adding to your pack, now might be a great time!
🐶
All of these sweet pups are currently seeking their forever homes through The Snuggle Is Real. We have stretched ourselves as thin as possible this winter to alleviate the burden on overcrowded shelters. All these dogs are very sweet, and many already possess a good deal of training! We have puppies, teenagers, adults, and seniors. We have males and females. We have lab mixes, bully mixes, poodle mixes, Catahoula mixes, husky mixes, and Cattledog mixes! All our babies are friendly with other dogs and people, and many are good with cats and small children as well.
🐶
Wherever you are, shelters and rescues in your area are undoubtedly hoping for loving adopters (or fosters)! Reach out to us if you're interested in any of our furkids or if we can support you in finding the right pet for your home through a different organization 🥰
