This poor baby had dental surgery today. She had 8 teeth pulled, and the rest of them cleaned.
Because she was a rescue we don't know what her start in life was like.. but our guess is that it was fairly traumatic. I'm fairly sure she was kept in a tiny cage because she runs in tight circles when she's anxious or excited, and I think she was beaten and had little to no food.. so my guess is that her poor dental condition is due to malnutrition as a puppy.
She's doing well, and she's going to feel SO much better now.
He only has one ear, so he makes it count for communicating. I don't know what happened to the other one. He's a rescue. I call this move giving "the ear". #dogsofmastodon#dogs#rescuedogs#happy
NEW: More than two dozen #dogs are now resting and recuperating at all four of our shelters following their emergency flight from Texas to #Massachusetts yesterday afternoon. The pups had been living at a small rescue organization whose owner no longer was able to care for them 1/ #dogsofmastodon#rescuedogs
As a result, the dogs were suffering and it was clear they needed to be moved off the property, but finding transport partners for large #dogs is especially challenging amid the dog population crisis. Luckily, thanks to the success of our last adoption event, we had space 2/ #dogsofmastodon#rescuedogs
A new family member joined us this week! Say hello to Lucy! 🥹
Our entire routine is thrown off right now as we figure out each other, work on the household integration, training, and everything else that comes with another adorable personality in mix.
Some garbage human literally threw her away. When she was rescued, she was skin and bones. The amazing thing though is that she is still the sweetest and gentlest dog I have ever met!
She spent a month getting medical care and then another month in foster care looking for her forever home. This week, she found it. Welcome home, Lucy!
A year ago today we welcomed Breezy into our home. I don’t think she’d ever lived in a house before but she’s settled in pretty well. She only has two settings: go and sleep. The second of those she’ll happily do cuddled up with one of her humans 🥰
That’s right, we’ve got tons of puppies in need of homes! See who’s available on our website and stop by open hours at any of our four shelters to adopt 🐶 ❤️ 🏡
A rare sunny Saturday morning. A bit too many people and dogs were in the Sweetwater Creek #Statepark in GA, USA, whom Kengo wanted to get to. People just don't care and walk by so slowly as I hold him tight to stay away from them. SMH. It was a nice walk, otherwise.
Gizmo is 7 months & was rescued from Fort St. John, a few months ago. He's already grown a lot since adoption date. There's a few other puppies from same place that have been adopted to families in Victoria.
😍 My #dogs Ginger (left, male) and Jane (right, female) are very fond of each other, always hanging out and playing together.
Both are #rescuedogs. Ginger came to me four and a half years ago.
Two years later, when I wanted a second dog, I allowed Ginger to choose his companion.
The moment he met young Jane, it was clear that she was The One. 🥰
They're such happy dogs, it's a joy to watch them.
