C'mon now, am I not just toooo irresistible?

If you foster me, this awesomeness will be with you every day. The question is, can you handle it?

If you want to find out more about my awesome self, send my rescue family a message or visit our website at www.midwestrescue.org.

In the meantime, I'll be here being handsome.

13/06/2024

This face of his.

We are begging for a foster for Nash. This sweet boy will be living in a kennel if we don't find him a foster.

How do we tell this beautiful boy that we let him down in such a big way, that his life is going to change so drastically for him? That when we promised him nothing but good things moving forward, that now we can't make good on that promise.

Please, if you are in a position to do so, think about fostering Nash. Shoot us a message, we would love to tell you all about him. You can also visit our website at www.midwestrescue.org.

Please help us not have to tell Nash that we failed. We know his person or family is out there. If that's you, please say "yes".

We and Nash thank you.

Yep, we can hear the "oohs" and "aahs" because Loki (orange/white) and Luna are just so cute!

This bonded pair of gorgeous felines came to us 1 1/2 years ago when their owner suddenly died. They, and their kitty sister and doggie sister had to navigate through the loss of their mimmy, their home and each other.

Their kitty and dog sisters found himes with family friends but Loki and Luna were not so fortunate. Their fate was being dumped at a shelter or being let loose.

Thankfully, a MWR volunteer opened her home to Loki and Luna, where they have patiently been awaiting their forever home together.

Please let us know if you would like to chat with someone about Loki and Luna, we would love to do so. You can also visit our website at www.midwestrescue.org to read more about their story.

Let's get these two into their forever home!

Make A Difference Monday!

Nope, we aren't asking you for money today. We are asking for something much more important. We are asking for an urgent foster angel for Nash.

And we hope with everything in us that Nash's angel is reading this post. Being Nash's foster will prevent us from having to board him in a kennel, which will break our hearts, and we know his too.

Nash is an easy dude, a lovely houseguest, a great snuggler and a heart thief. He is potty trained, crate trained, and good with other dogs (we do doggie intros to make sure everyone gets along).

And honestly, Nash has yet to meet a stranger.

Be Nash's angel. Shoot us a message if you'd like to learn more about Nash or you can visit our website at www.midwestrescue.org.

And please help us spread the word. We and Nash need you.

01/06/2024

Meet Nash!🐾💙🐾 He's 1 1/2 years old. 50 lbs. If you are interested in fostering or adopting, visit www.midwestrescue.org.

01/06/2024

If you want some "Happy" in your life, Nash is the guy for you!

Nash needs a foster or forever home ASAP, we simply can't afford to keep him where he is and will be moving him to a regular boarding kennel. This is hurting our hearts that he will go from a home environment to a small run.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Nash, or want to learn more about him, shoot us a message or visit our website at www.midwestrescue.org.

We'd love to chat with you!

Happy Wednesday!

We updated Nash's Amazon Wishlist and would appreciate any help purchasing a few things for the boy.

He's in desperate need of beef knuckles to help pass the time while in boarding and salmon oil for its many health benefits.

The other items are to help him thrive while he's in boarding.

Our sweet, bonded pair of adoptable kitties are waiting for their forever home. Loki and Luna tragically lost their mommy due to a medical emergency of which she did not recover from. Family did not want them, they had nowhere to go.

No worries though, they are happy in a foster home. And in their spare time, they put together an Amazon Wishlist (they somehow got onto a computer, cats are sneaky that way!).

They asked if we would share and of course, we are complying. If you ask us, the need for kitty food is at the top of the list. If you ask them, treats and toys take priority.

We really appreciate any donated items, Loki and Luna deserve every happy moment!

URGENT! German Shepherd Lovers - Timo is Running Out of Time!
COURTESY POST- STERLING, IL
*** Transport available to the Chicago area or within a couple hours of Sterling, IL

Timo has less than 2 weeks to find a new home before he ends up at a local animal control or shelter.

We received a message from a man who got Timo, a beautiful and sweet German Shepherd, from a friend who was moving and did not want him. Timo was not well, he was constantly hungry, was losing weight and had irregular p**p. Alir took Timo to get him back on his feet with the hopes of finding him a forever home.

After seeing two vets and months later, Alir found out that Timo has a condition called Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). Thankfully, it is easily treated with daily enzyme powder added to his food. Timo is now healthy and doing well.

Alir and his family are moving to Florida in one month to open a restaurant and need to find a place for Timo before then. Otherwise, he will end up at animal control. Let's help prevent that from happening!

Alir will donate food and two year’s worth of the enzyme powder needed to keep Timo in good health.

Here is what Alir told us about Timo:
He is between 4 and 5 years old
He is potty and crate trained
He knows Sit, Stay, Place, Lay, Shake, Home, Come and circles both clock and counter clock-wise
He has not yet been neutered
He is not microchipped
He has had his vaccinations
He is good with kids and other people (they have large family gatherings and Timo loves to play with everyone in the yard)
He is not a fan of cats
He does well with other dogs (with proper intros) and likes to play with them
He does well on a leash and enjoys his walks
He is great in a car and loves car rides
He is not in the house much in his current home and spends his time outside in a large fenced in yard.

The only area that Alir can identify where Timo has any issues is that he resource guards his food when eating (we always suggest feeding dogs in separate areas or in crates anyway). They feel it's a result of being sick and starving before he was given medical care.

If anyone is able to help, please let us know. We want to help make sure Timo lands in a safe, loving home. And please SHARE Timo's post!

Please Help Us Keep “Mr. Sweet & Easy” Out of Boarding!

We still need a foster home for Nash—and we’re nearing a crisis point.

Unfortunately, we can’t keep paying $525 per week to keep him with Jessie, our wonderful trainer. She's beyond worth it, but we’re tapped out--and she has other commitments.

If we don't find a foster very soon, we’ll need to move him to a traditional boarding facility, where he’ll spend most days alone in a concrete run.

He’s a sensitive little dude, and we’re worried about what this will do to him. He’s already endured a big city shelter; it would be traumatic to return to the kennel environment.

In Jessie’s home, he’s blossomed into a happy, confident lovebug she describes as “sweet and easy.”

ABOUT NASH
• He’s 50 lbs. and 1.5 years old
• He gets along well with other dogs; in fact, we'd like him to have a sister pup in his forever home (he’s okay as a solo in a foster home)
• He loves walks, pup cups, training sessions, car rides and snuggles
• Though it’s not mandatory in a foster home, he’d benefit greatly from a backyard to romp in
• He’s good with kids 10+ (he loves Jessie’s daughter)
• No kitties for now; he’s a little too curious

ABOUT FOSTERING
• When you foster for us, we pay for everything
• We’ll listen and support you
• We’ll do thorough meet ‘n greets upfront to ensure he’s a good fit for everyone in your household, human and critter
• You’ll have access to Jessie as a training resource
• You’ll be part of his adoption process when the time arrives.

Truly, fostering is one of the greatest gifts you can give a rescue animal. Right now, when rescues are bombarded with daily surrender requests, it’s even more precious.

For more about Nash, see his profile at https://midwestrescue.org/nash .

To complete a foster application (it’s same as our adoption application), visit https://midwestrescue.org/adoption-process .

If you’d like to meet Nash first, we’re happy to arrange a meet ‘n greet.

Have questions? PM us. Please consider fostering Nash!

Make A Difference Monday!

Nash is quite the character and a package that oozes with charm and personality. So why, we ask ourselves, is he not in a foster or forever home yet?

We need to get our handsome boy into one or the other fast before he drains the bank.😂 But truly, the fact that he is having the time of his life and doing so well boarding with Mindful Methods Companion Coaching just tickles us pink!

So, until that magical day, would you help spread the word? And if you happen to have some extra jingle laying around to drop here in Nash's FB donation jar, that would be stellar!

Really now, Nash's "happy" is just so irresistible, isn't it?

We want to send a great, big THANK YOU to those who participated in our flower sale. It was a huge success! Please feel free to send us pics of your flowers, we would love to see them!

We met new people, caught up with those we haven't seen in a while and as for Dottie? She was her usual awesome, silly self.

And once again, we cannot say enough about the Bentley's Pet Stuff in Schaumburg.

Sunday is:

- meet & greet day with Nash and/or Dottie - come and meet these adopt-a-bulls looking for their forever home.
*Nash is looking for a foster OR a forever home - this sweet boy is living in boarding
- learn more about our upcoming Golf Outing and be one of the first to get your Fantasy Golf Card for $10 for your chance to win a trip for 2 to Vegas or Reno.

As you can see, Nash is having a blast in boarding with Jessie from Mindful Methods Companion Coaching. We have learned so much about Nash, he has made new friends and has really blossomed!

Nash has been ready for a foster or forever home for a while now. But until that happens (and hopefully soon!), we can really use help funding his boarding cost. Nash is having the time of his life, and that fun is draining our bank account.😆

At $525 /week, if you are in a position to do so, a donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated, and it will keep Nash from having to get a job. Although, he seriously thinks that taste-testing Puppuccinos at Starbucks is a viable job option for him.

Pipe dreams, Nash. Pipe dreams.

After our adventure at Busse Woods, Nash took us shopping and picked out this snazzy new harness. We asked him if he brought his piggy bank with to pay the $44 for it and he said that wasn't necessary...his fans would be happy to do so.

We told Nash that though he is super cute, he is being presumptuous. He countered by double-dog daring us to post.

So we did.

If you want to make Nash good on his word and throw a few bucks into his harness kitty, that would be awesome. If not, Nash will have some chores to do.

But seriously, doesn't he look dapper?
