We have one last update for Give to the Max Day!
Because of your donations we were able to get Miss Piggy the dental work that she needed, and now she lives her best life learning to trust her humans more everyday:
"When I first got her in January she would have nothing to do with humans. She was terrified and would not come near me or my daughter. She would flinch or cower whenever we came near or touched her. She had horrible, rotting teeth and awful breath from the infection and decay. TCPR raised enough money to perform the tooth extraction and most of her teeth were removed. The vet said the majority of them just fell out and/or were being held in by tarter. 🙁
After I had her for a few months I felt comfortable enough to get her groomed. When I went to pick her up from the groomer, I couldn’t even recognize her. She was transformed into this adorable little dog. I’ve now had her 10 months and she is my little buddy. She is constantly at my side and cuddles with me at night. And she has started to wag her tail. Especially when we go for walks. She isn’t able to participate in the pack walk, but she comes along for the ride and loves her carrier. "

We have another amazing story of what a difference your donations have made in an animal's life.
Because of your donations in 2022 we were able to get Ollie the surgery that he needed, and now he lives his best life with his forever family who gave us this update:
"Ollie is our foster fail and he is absolutely adored in our house. He has been such a fast learner when it comes to training, and the biggest cuddle bug. He absolutely loves every person that he meets, sometimes a little too much (we're still working on that). He spends most of his time sleeping with short spirts of energy to play with his toys before he passes out again. He LOVES his toys so much, but we keep a very close eye on him when he plays and are very selective with the toys we give him. He is not the biggest fan of car rides but has learned that they can lead to fun things, like pup cups, going to the lake, and playing with his friends at daycare. We are so happy to have him as part of our family and so grateful for TCPR for all they have done for him!"

Give to the Max is our biggest fundraising day each year and helps us provide the medical needs for many animals throughout the year. A great example of this is ✨Ruby✨
Because of your donations we were able to get Ruby the surgeries that she needed, and she now lives her best life with her forever family who gave us this update:
"Ruby is our foster fail.❤️ She came to us with her three babies: Jade, Onyx and Diamond. All four of them had been found abandoned in Iowa. The babies needed lots of love and attention. Ruby was such a good mama, so we started calling her Mama Ruby. Ruby’s babies were adopted, but she had constant ear issues. For a year, we brought her to doctor and dermatologist appointments, but nothing helped her ear infections. Ruby finally had surgery to remove her ear canal and they also ended up taking 13 of her teeth. Through it all, Ruby was a ROCKSTAR. When it came time to finally put her up for adoption, we couldn’t give her up after everything we had been through with her. We officially adopted her. Ruby loves to play nonstop. She brings all of her toys upstairs every night and leaves them next to our bed. Then, she brings them back downstairs every morning. She loves her two cat brothers and dog. She likes to help you when you’re working on the computer by walking back and forth, then plopping down on it. Ruby loves to snuggle. She greets all visitors with love and purrs. She is everyone’s favorite cat. All of our family and friends love her, especially when she looks at you/them with her lopsided ear. ❤️❤️"

Give to the Max is our biggest fundraising day each year and helps us provide the medical needs for many animals throughout the year. A great example of this is ✨Claire✨
Because of your donations we were able to get Claire the surgery she needed, and she now lives her best life with her forever family who gave us this update:
"After the loss of our 15-year-old dog Oscar, our family was not thinking about getting another dog. We still had Winnie, our 5-year-old rescue who we got as a puppy. As hard as it was to say goodbye to our beloved Oscar, Winnie really took his loss hard and was clearly depressed. We received a photo of Claire from her Foster Mom and our hearts melted, so much so that we wanted to meet her in person. To our surprise Winnie and Claire bonded immediately and Winnie was back to her happy playful self again. The two of them have been inseparable since. Shortly after agreeing to adopt Claire, we discovered she needed a fairly major leg surgery which the rescue center wonderfully provided. It took Claire a while to fully recover, but now there’s no stopping her! Claire loves to go on walks, chase rabbits around the yard, and loves most of all to wrestle her big sister Winnie. Claire has been such an incredible addition to our family, and we love her to no end. We’d like to thank ALL involved who helped us find Claire and got her the medical help she needed to fully recover. We are TRULY blessed!"

We all love hearing a happy cat purr, but did you know that it’s actually good for your stress levels? Those pleasant feline vibrations trigger human brains to release endorphins and these chemicals help us to be more resilient against stress.
If you’ve got cats at home, be sure to appreciate their purrs and if your looking to add a cat to your home, view all of our adoptable cats here: https://twincitiespetrescue.org/adopt/adoptable-pets/

La familia Madrigal is coming to TCPR, and they need fosters!
These 7 four-week-old puppies were abandoned in a laundry basket in Arkansas one morning. But they found their miracle at one of our shelter partners who reached out to see if we can help. Though we are extremely low on fosters and fostering puppies in the MN winter can be a challenge… we couldn’t abandon these babies, so we said YES! But now we need your help!
Mirabel, Luisa, Pepa, Dolores, Julieta, Bruno and Antonio will be arriving in MN on Sunday February 13th and will need foster homes to go to! Ideally they would be fostered in pairs or trios. If you have another young, dog friendly pup in your home, that would work too! We are guessing they are hound mixes and should be around 9 weeks old when they arrive.
TCPR provides all of the necessary supplies and covers the vetting costs while fostering! You just need to provide a warm, loving home and transport to our partner vetting clinics in Minneapolis!
Apply to foster here ---> https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/TCPR/Dog
!! We interrupt your Give to the Max Day feed to bring you an important announcement !!
It’s time for PUPPIES! Check out TCPR alum Pato testing out his new skills as a foster dad. We think these might be the cutest. babies. ever.
These four pups came in from a reservation in South Dakota in late October. TCPR took them in as 5-day-old bottle babies, requiring round-the-clock feedings and care from dedicated volunteers. They’ve had quite the glow up and a huge appetite now that they’ve graduated to kibble!

TCPR Pro Tip: We advocate for working with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate diet and trusted brands to feed your pet that will be best suited for their age, health, and lifestyle. In addition to the right diet, make sure you’re feeding your pet the correct amount of food to ensure your pet maintains a healthy weight.
