Rosie on adoption day

Rosie Goes Home

We mentioned in an update last night that Rosie (now known as Ingrid) has found her forever home! Her mom, Annie Harris, picked her up from rescue a couple of weeks ago to foster her through spay/vetting and help us get her ready for adoption. She immediately hit it off with the family (including her two canine siblings) and the rest was history. Go, baby, go go!

Cobb and Carson

Cobb: When a Rescue Dog Rescues Another

Mike and Lily Goldstein gave Carson his forever home in 2013--and have given more to rescue than we can ever thank them and their family enough for. With Carson's approval, they became fosters for Cobb a few months ago. And now? We are thrilled to announce Cobb has joined the family permanently!

Sam and Ossa: Both Sides of the Foster Story

To promote our push for fosters, we are sharing some stories from our fosters throughout the years. They all have unique and wonderful experiences – some short-term, some long-term and, yes, some permanent. The Brewsters have had a very unique experience in fostering: They fostered one dog (Sam) to the point of adoption, then took in another dog (Breeze) who was really down on his luck. They cared for him and nursed him from rescue, through the trials and triumphs of overcoming (and almost losing) a broken leg, to making the decision to add him to their family.

ResQthreads: Go Shopping, Go Walking

We are always looking for partnerships with great organizations who believe in giving back. It's a win-win situation: You, our supporters, get great stuff that you probably buy anyway; the dogs get a percentage of your shopping spree, your efforts or your time. Our latest partnership is with ResQthreads.
Hannah

Hannah 2.0: New and Improved

Just a little over a year ago, Hannah spent her days, pacing nonstop in her kennel, unable to look at or trust anyone. You may remember the story of how we finally "caught" her and, slowly but surely, began working with her. She had heartworm (or so we thought at the time; the records were incorrect) and needed to go to foster care for treatment, so Pam and Bonnie took her in, in January and began integrating her into their pack. By February, she was already showing improvement.
Sassy

Sassy: A Tribute to Sweetness

For the second time within a month, we are left with a hole in our hearts. Our sweet little Sassy developed pneumonia and, within hours, left us for the Rainbow Bridge this morning. We are going to miss her like hell, but her silliness and bunny hops will always live on.

Chad: Learning to Trust

Over the past year, Kevin and Elisa Schwutke have been a "dogsend" to the group. They have fostered three dogs (Pebbles, Casper and Mr. Wiggles) to adoption and are currently fostering one of our more "difficult" cases named Chad. This is Chad's third foster home. Although he did well with the others, he has some fear issues (especially around men) that needed to be addressed directly and overcome before he can move on to a permanent home. It's been a long road, but he is finally learning to trust.
