🚗🐾😎✨ We’re excited to introduce our latest design: “RESCUE the HOMIES.” This shirt not only celebrates our favorite breed but also represents the vibe of our city, Houston! Our amazing Creative Director is not only the Dog Dad to a bully breed, but works with us on a volunteer basis to produce so much of our content, designs, and flyers!!! If you have a vision you need to breathe life into, he’s your guy!

🐶❤️ We want to know: Would you wear a shirt with this design? Let us know in the comments! Your support helps us continue our mission of rescuing and finding forever homes for these wonderful pups! Thank you for being part of our rescue familia!

This is my heart breed. Saving them changed my life. Everything I do in life brings me back to them. Every single time. To have a bully breed is to love them, and in this world of chaos they are my whole entire heart. Sometimes, we save them a little too late. I wish I could buy back those years, I would fix you. 💜

RIP NOVA 🤍

✨NOTHING FEELS AS GOOD AS SAVING DOGS✨
If you let them change your life, they will. The lessons they teach you, the love they give. They rewire your nervous system. Dogs saved me, and I will do all I can to save them - over and over again. It feels like it’s never enough in a city that doesn’t seem to understand. Every save matters. Every single save. 🤍

🤍 This is me, and Scarlett. She was found in 2022 by an employee at an apartment. Abandoned. She had had a recent C-section and she had fishing wire embedded in her stomach. She was leaking urine because everything was twisted around inside. Her babies were sold at days old, according to neighbors. Her owners left, and left her behind to starve, alone. I wish this was an anomaly. It’s not. It’s everyday in a city that doesn’t stop. Even when you see good, it’s clouded by how hard it is here for dogs. Scarlett gets a happy ending. She lives in the air-conditioning, doesn’t have to have a litter of pups every 3 months, she gets nutritious food, treats, stimulation, and lives in a pack with dogs and humans that love her unconditionally. Scarlett is lucky, and so many dogs like her are not.

Rescue is exhausting, emotionally depleting and it never stops to let you breathe. If you want to save dogs, please keep yours and know that your dog deserves to be safe and loved. 💔💔

🐶🐶🐶🐾Meet Patsy!!!🐾🐶🐶🐶

Patsy is a 9lb. pint-sized 2 year old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a spirit ready for adventure. Rescued from an abandoned property in Willis, TX, she was found terrified and pregnant, but she bravely gave birth to four adorable puppies. Now that her little ones are thriving, Patsy is eager to find her forever home and embrace the life she deserves.

This sweet girl is motivated by love and affection. There’s nothing she wants more than to curl up on your lap and bask in the warmth of your companionship. With her endearing personality, she’ll be your loyal companion, always ready for belly rubs and gentle snuggles.

Patsy is sociable and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She’s likely to be just as friendly with cats too! Her low to medium energy level makes her the perfect couch companion, but she also enjoys leisurely walks and playtime in the yard. She is already potty trained, making her transition to your home a breeze.

One of Patsy’s most charming features is her adorable underbite, complemented by her wiry, crazy hair that perfectly matches her playful spirit. Although we’ve never heard her bark, it’s safe to say she might not be the best guard dog, but she will surely guard your heart with her love!!

Are you ready to give Patsy the forever home she deserves!

🐾 🤍Adoptable Puppies: Meet the Country Critter Litter! 🏡

This sweet all boy litter was born into the rescue on 12/12/24. By size we estimate these guys will be around 10-15lbs fully grown. They are available to go homes in the PNW area after 2/12/25!

Say hello to our charming Country Litter! These four handsome boys are named after some of your favorite country music stars: Morgan Wallin, Shooter Jennings, Post Malone, and Jelly Roll. Pregnant Mama and several other dogs were saved from an abandoned property just in time!

All four puppies are solid white, with their loving mom being a 9-pound white/ brown Terrier mix. While we’re unsure who dad is, they were found with several other small white dogs so we estimate they will be small breed.

These pups are bursting with personality! They are happy, healthy, and full of energy. They love to play together, and when they’re not having fun, they’re good eaters and sound sleepers. Born in our rescue, they have been well cared for and socialized.

**Adoption Details:**
- Fully vaccinated
- Dewormed
- Microchipped
- Pre-loved and ready to give you all the cuddles!

If you’re looking to add a little country charm to your life, these delightful puppies would love to meet you! Don’t miss the chance to adopt one of these sweet boys who are sure to bring joy and laughter to your home!

TO ADOPT: Visit www.ssrsaves.com to fill out an application and a coordinator will contact you.

🌨️🐾 Winter Storm Alert in Houston, Texas! 🐾🌨️

As we brace for the harsh weather ahead, I want to remind everyone about the importance of keeping our furry friends safe. It is unlawful to leave your pets outside during extreme conditions, as outlined in the Texas Safe Outdoors Act.

This legislation is in place to protect our beloved pets from the dangers of extreme cold and harsh weather. Please remember: BRING THEM INSIDE! 🏠❤️

Keep pets warm and safe during this winter storm. If you see a dog who needs help, it can save their life to bring them into for a night. Share this message to spread the word!
