A few months ago I was told about 2 dogs in Bklyn who were living in their owner's backyard which was so full of trash and construction materials that they had no place to go but on top of a shed that they accessed through a very tall ladder. Through the power of social media, my good friend posted for us and we were able to get many calls to the precinct. It took several days and many calls for the officers to figure out this was unacceptable and not only go to the property, but contact animal cruelty who in turn contacted the ASPCA. The owner was told that he had to clean up the yard, and treat the mange. No mention of removing the ladder which provided access to the roof of the shed.

After all assessments were made by the above orgs, we at Keep Me Warm Doghouses Inc paid them a visit. We offered to help by providing a dumpster, and the owner said he could get people to help him cleanup the yard. We offered beds for the dogs, a gate to keep them indoors safely to prevent entry to areas of potential injury, and to get the dogs neutered. We were able to get them to agree to let the dogs live indoors, owner refused the neuters. Work is still being done to clean up the yard, but great progress is being made and the ladder has been removed! We will stay in touch to make sure the dogs continue to thrive and provide whatever they need to do so. Little boy Blue's mange has been treated and his fur is growing in nicely😊

2 weeks ago we delivered a new doghouse to a sweet German Shepherd and noticed she was shaking her head alot. I asked the owner about it and he said she had been doing that for quite awhile. Thinking she may have an ear infection I made her an appt at our vet's office today and met her owner there. Turns out she had quite a nasty infection and her ears were cleaned and treated. She also got a rabies shot since she's never been vaccinated before and at a minimum should have that vaccine. Our vet said she's at a good weight and is otherwise healthy😍 I also got her a coat for her walks and time she spends outdoors. Family says they bring her indoors at night. I sure hope so, and hopefully she'll be brought in to live with her family permanently💕

A big thank you to the Wheatley School in Old Westbury Long Island for choosing our organization Keep Me Warm Doghouses, Inc to help on their day of service. 5 high school students from the advanced woodshop class under the direction of their teacher built us a beautiful insulated doghouse in just 1 week! We picked up the house today and I brought the class pizza to thank them for their hard work. I spoke to them about responsible dog care including the importance of spay and neuter, and encouraged them to adopt a dog from a rescue or shelter which saves lives. I also informed them that while we offer doghouses to dogowners who leave their dogs outdoors, we do not approve of any dog being outside as they are members of the family and belong indoors. If your dog can't live indoors with your family, don't get a dog, they agreed😊The Wheatley School was featured on News 12 LI for their day of service. A great project for the students and service to the community💕

Demolition day today of a really gross dilapidated doghouse and replacing it with one my carpenter made for a beautiful dog that lives outdoors in a pen. Barry, my organization partner sledge hammered it and cleaned up the pen. We put straw in it and gave her new bowls and a new collar. We encouraged the owners to take her for walks. Her sister, a 10 yr old pittie died a month ago😔We were happy to provide her with a clean, insulated, warm house and a little more room to move around in her pen, free of charge to her owner. This is our mission, to improve the quality of lives for dogs living outdoors, one house at a time.

This came up on my memories today. 5 yrs ago my friend and I rescued Rocky. A few attempts to rehome him with people who didn't follow our instructions, or understand this wild child landed him back with me and the realization that this dog wasn't supposed to be rehomed, he was supposed to be my dog, so I adopted him. Rocky changed my life and I changed his💕Happy 5 yrs my handsome boy, I love you❤️💙🩷💜

Latest photo taken today of the Pittbull my friend and I rescued off the streets of Queens. This is after he was dog tested today, and we found out he loves dogs!🥰😍❤Looking for a foster/adopter and a better life than the one hes had for the past 4 yrs! Neutered, vaccinated, and chipped.

5 yrs ago my friend Martha got a call from her vet that someone put a dog in the street and drove off. A homeowner heard the horns and went out to see what was going on. He saw a small dog in the street, picked her up and brought her to the nearest vet. Martha called me and we went to get her. When we got to her we found out that she was blind. I brought her home, and contacted For Our Friends Dog Rescue to get her evaluated and eventually adopted. I had been fostering dogs so wasn't thinking of adoption. Within 1 month I decided I couldn't give her up, foster fail🤗 I was concerned initially about caring for a blind dog, but she navigated her way around the house and is great on walks. Mitzi is the sweetest, most loving, dog who is perfectly content on my lap, beside me or in her day bed on the floor. My big guy Rocky gets along with her and we are 1 happy family. Happy 15th birthday to my little girl💕Adopt your next family member from a shelter or rescue. Help save lives that are taken from these beautiful perfectly adoptable dogs merely because there's no room at the shelters. We can do this!

About a month ago a friend reached out asking if I could help rehome a dog that her coworker posted on social media for free. I asked her to find out if the dog was still available and she later said she had given her away already. I asked if I could have the woman's phone # to offer to spay her dog for free. I contacted her and she agreed to the spay. About a week later she contacted me to tell me she changed her mind about keeping her and told the owner who then rehomed her again to another woman. I found out that this was the 4th home the dog was rehomed to, and she is only 1 years old! Nothing wrong with the dog, just the people taking her in. I asked for this new owner's contact info, but she didn't agree to the spay. She wanted her to have at least 1 litter. I told her the pros of getting her spayed and cons of breeding her and was able to convince her to allow me to get her spayed. This woman has physical challenges due to illness, so I brought the dog to the vet and got her spayed and vaccinated under my organization Keep Me Warm Doghouses, Inc. Long day traveling across 2 boroughs and to our vet in LI, but so grateful that it was finally done! This was not just a spay, it's ending the generations of dogs birthed to this previously intact dog and her offspring. It's ending the possibility of her pups being used to breed over and over again. It's ending the possibility of abuse and neglect at the hands of those who are supposed to love, protect and provide for the needs of their dogs. It's ending the possibility of her dogs, or their offspring going into shelters and being killed simply because there isn't enough room. We have to end this vicious cycle and it starts with spay and neuter!

Looking for a foster, adopter, or rescue to save Callie's life. She will be going to ACC shelter soon if help cant be found. They are past capacity and euthanizing dogs at an alarming rate!

This is the reason we promote adoption, not shopping from breeders or petshops. This sweet female Golden doodle made thousands of dollars for her owner by mass producing puppies for her year after year. Now that she is no longer able to produce puppies since she is 9 yrs old, her owner is having her euthanized! Discusting, cruel, heartless! Sadly, this is not the exception, this actually occurs frequently. Please, if you're able to foster or adopt do so. This darling deserves a loving and safe home to live out the rest of her life. Please DM ryangraney on IG. Located in Lockport NY, she is willing to transport. Thank you💖

URGENT: Foster or Adopter needed by July 8th. The human mom of these sisters is terminally ill and is going into a terminal care facility. Adele and Annabella are bonded sisters. They are 8-year-old shepherd mixes and weigh around 50 lbs. They are very sweet but quite timid and skittish. They are adjusting very well to being walked on a leash. They are good with other dogs and cats but are very nervous around strangers and loud sounds. A home with small children isnt recommend. The dogs were spayed when puppies and have recently been to the vet and received their rabies vaccines and were tested for worms etc. They are healthy! Contact: Janine Raynor, if interested, or can offer help 631 495-4346. Thank you💕

So thrilled to announce another happy furever story. The foster fail of sweet Remy🥰 2 yrs ago I was sent a pic of a dog put out on his dog bed onto the curb. My friend and I went to get him just 10 min before NYPD and FDNY who were on the scene to take him to the kill shelter. With the help of a friend we got him a foster, then adopter who was a neighbor of the foster. Then this past December they contacted me to say they were giving him up because he wasn't good with small dogs and they feared him getting off the leash on their walks. A few advocates helped us to find 2 angels, 2 cousins that stepped up to foster him. Within a few short weeks his foster said "he is my forever." We wanted to give him some time because she had 2 cats that he had to acclimate to. Thank you to Janine and Bethani for donating to his training! 2 months later and Remy has been adopted by her 💕He is doing well with the cats and she says he is the sweetest dog and her cousin states, "he is a dream dog." From the streets of Jamaica Queens NY to a rural town in PA where he has acres of land to explore and visits to his momma's cousin's vineyard. What more could we ask for. This is the power of "the village" this is rescue💝

A year and a half ago I was sent a picture of a dog on his bed left in the street. I called my fearless friend Martha and we went and got him just minutes before NYPD was taking him to ACC, the kill shelter. The next day my friend Sue got us a foster. We got him neutered, vaccinated, and he was treated for an eye infection. Within weeks the foster's neighbor adopted him. We were so happy. Then a couple of months ago I got a call from his family that they couldn't keep him. He wasn't good with small dogs and they feared for the small dogs in the community should he get off leash. They agreed to hold onto him until we found a foster or adopter. This wasn't an easy task due to his age(7 yrs old) and his breed(pitbull mix). I was told he had to leave their home in March and in the 11th hr 2 compassionate women stepped up to be his fosters! Martha and I drove him to his foster home last week and we are happy to report that he is safe, well cared for and adjusting well! Thank you to one of my besties, Phyl London who networked to get a foster or adopter and all the advocates and networkers, especially Bethani who helped us find this amazing family💕It takes a village! Will post the next stage of his journey as it unfolds🥰

An animal lovers club in Bayside HS reached out to me wanting to do a fundraiser for Keep Me Warm Doghouses, Inc. When they contacted me to pick up the donation, I asked if I could do a presentation for their members and they said yes, we would love that! Presented on animals used for testing, "fashion", entertainment and consumption. They gave me thank you cards and dog toys that they made. Such a sweet group of compassionate teens. Hoping the presentation planted seeds for future activists🐶😺🦝🦊🐨🐾
