Meet Miso & Rusty! ❤️ “Hi! We’re Miso and Rusty! Rusty was dumped at a rescue along with his mum, brother and sister back in 2018, luckily we found him on the @petrescueau website and couldn’t resist that cute profile picture! He’s a scruffy Jack Russell X Portuguese Podengo mix and we couldn’t imagine life without him! Miso is a Labrador X Kelpie (most likely) and he’s still young, as we adopted him as a puppy in late 2021. Our instagram is @the_greedy_wombat_dog”

Meet Ebony! ❤️ “I adopted this girl one month ago from Midwest Australian Shepherd Rescue. She is a very gentle shy girl who is just starting to come out of her shell but has tons of love to give.” - (Oops! You forgot to give us your Instagram name!)

Meet Layla! ❤️ “Layla was dumped on the streets of Bosnia as a puppy and left alone outside to die. Luckily, she was found by representatives of animalcare international shortly after and taken to a shelter where she could regain strength and start looking for a forever home - which she found with us here in Vienna, Austria at the age of 1 year. Since then she enjoys being outside with us, preferably running, playing or swimming - a real adventure dog - while at home or in the office she is the laziest couch potato waiting for belly scratches. Find her on Instagram @streichelmeinenbauch”

Last chance to get those ID tags made!!! Most pet supply stores can make ID tags in minutes. If you don’t have a pet supply store near you, check the local hardware store! Collars can be purchased for under $5 at Walmart/Target, and I’ve even seen them at the dollar store! If you can only afford a collar and not tags today… write your phone number on the collar in dark Sharpie marker. Another option is using a bit of painters tape to make a “tag” for the collar, and writing your number on that (see my Story today). Make your life simpler and less stressful. If your pet escapes during the fireworks, you’re going to want to be reunited ASAP! Don’t let your dog get picked up, unidentified, and sit in a shelter scared while you scramble to find them!!!

Meet Dotty! ❤️ “I'm Dotty and I was born in Romania in September 2020. People found my sisters and me on the streets when I was only a few weeks old. My mummy was gone so they brought us to a shelter nearby. In January 2021 I was adopted by my new family. The german Organization "Casa Katharina" picked them for me. I love my humans, even the kids. We use to play and cuddle a lot and I love to go on vacation with them, no matter where. I'm glad I found my happy end. And sometimes I hear my humans say, that I rescued them, too. They say, I'm their souldog. For more impressions of my life visit me on instagram: @dotted_dotty”

Meet Bella Blue! ❤️ “Hi I am Bella Blue! I am 7 and I was adopted in April 2016! I love to bark at the bad guys or a leaf blowing in the wind! I love going outside and walks and my Bocce treats. I love to get on my tippy toes to get closer to yummy treats and food. I was rescued by Rescue Warrior Corp when I was just two months old so I would not live the life my mom did at a puppy mill. My IG handle is @lucyliu.and.bellablue”

Meet Rocco! ❤️ “Meet Rocco! He was adopted from @secondchanceas in Massachusetts in 2020 when he was 10 weeks old. He was the last puppy at the shelter that day. He’s an Australian Shepherd/Terrier mix and is the best boy! He loves to meet people and has many dog friends. He’s very active and gets up every morning ready to go on a hike, run, or walk. But he also loves to cuddle. He’s always happy but absolutely is happiest at the beach. He also has many nicknames and songs made up about him. He doesn’t have an Instagram but thinks he should! ❤️ - @collsmc”

Meet Rollie! ❤️ “Rollie (@rollieroams) was found on the side of the road about 1.5 mo ago. He was taken in by the wonderful family who found him. They already have 3 dogs, so they wanted to find a home for Rollie. If one was not found, he’d have one with them. But I came across their Facebook post through a mutual friend who shared their post. After finding out they were only 30 minutes away from me in New Braunfels, Tx, I was on my way to being Rollie to his forever home. This was one month ago (05/23/23) and I couldn’t be happier. - @elm828”

Meet Kirby! ❤️ “t was love at first sight when we saw Kirby’s online profile with Hope For Love rescue. He’s best known for chasing squirrels in the park, laying down to eat breakfast, and mastering only the most important of life skills - high five and singing on demand. He’s been the perfect addition to our family and it’s a joy to come home to his goofy grin and helicopter tail. We will be celebrating his second gotcha day this weekend with a trip to the beach and a pupper cup! Come and say hi at a_dog_called_kirby.”

There’s a little over 1 week til the 4th of July! Fireworks have already started in my community. Start preparing now. The day after the 4th of July is always the busiest day of the year at shelters across the country, as pet owners frantically search for their pets who ran off during fireworks. If your neighborhood is like mine, the fireworks and celebrations start days before the 4th, and continue for days after. Take measures NOW to help your pet prepare for the loud noises. 🏠 Make sure your fences and gates are secured - no broken latches, no holes, etc. 💊 Talk to your vet about anti-anxiety medications, or calming CBD supplements. 🪪 Update your pet's microchip and ID tags with current contact info. Many shelters and vaccine clinics offer low-cost or FREE microchips leading up to the 4th! Microchips are excellent - but ID tags can be even more helpful to reunite you and your pet even quicker.

Meet Maisie! ❤️ “this is maisie! she was a foster fail from dog and cat networking agents in augusta, ga. we think she’s a 5 year old shih tzu but we’re not sure. she was found running in a field and was so matted we could hardly see her face, but from the start she was so loving and happy! she has been the perfect addition to our family. she’s so playful, goofy, and is always by our side. she loves going for rides, her grinch toy, and all the treats! - @maisie_ mae_pup”

Meet Lucy Liu! ❤️ “This is Lucy Liu! We adopted her in September 2013 from @sccr in Roselle, IL. She is the center of our universe, loves food, esp cheese, fries, and pup cups; she’s smart, a bit lazy, and loves her family above all else. Resourceful when it comes to food-once she jumped on the dining room table to try to get a bite of her hooman sisters 3 tiered fairy birthday cake. But she was quickly forgiven of course! She is 3/4 Bulldog and 1/4 Beagle (confirmed by a DNA TEST). She is turning 12 in September. - @sue.lu.lu”
