B-Squad Dog Rescue

He made it. ❤️

Just hours before his scheduled euthanasia, Travis—now Journey—was saved thanks to an incredible team of networkers who refused to give up on him. (Thank you Amanda)

As God painted the sky this beautiful evening, we’re reminded that even in the darkest moments, there is still so much good in this world. People who step up. People who care. People who choose hope.

Tomorrow, Journey will spend the day with Dr. Lamp and the amazing team at Best Care Pet thank to all of YOU, where he’ll receive a full exam, bloodwork, X-rays, and everything needed to help us understand exactly what this sweet boy is facing.

His skin is in heartbreaking condition from a severe case of mange. We know that familiar smell of yeast and damaged skin all too well—but we also know the incredible transformations that can happen with time, love, and exceptional veterinary care. We’ve seen miracles before, and we’re believing Journey has one waiting for him too.

Sleep the sleep of the safe tonight, Journey. Your new forever starts now. ❤️🐾

🦄 Moo Update: Our Medical Unicorn Strikes Again 🦄

Today did not go quite as planned for our brave little Moo.

Moo was scheduled for surgery with the amazing Dr. Heitman at All City Pet Care South, but as he was being prepared for the procedure, Dr. Heitman noticed some things that just didn’t seem quite right. Rather than proceeding and “figuring it out” once surgery began, the decision was made to stop and get a CT scan to better understand exactly what is going on inside our special boy.

The results confirmed what we’ve suspected all along—Moo is truly a medical unicorn. 🦄 We now know there are some extra anatomical surprises contributing to his challenges, and we’re waiting for a radiologist to review the scans so we can fully understand what we’re dealing with and make the best plan moving forward. If all goes well, we’ll try again next week.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a veterinarian you trust—someone who is willing to slow down, ask questions, gather more information, and put your pet’s best interests first. Today could have looked very different if Dr. Heitman hadn’t trusted his instincts.

Thank you to Dr. Heitman and the entire staff for taking such incredible care of Moo and for treating him like the special little guy he is. We are beyond grateful for your expertise, compassion, and partnership as we navigate this journey.

Please continue to keep Moo in your thoughts as we wait for answers and prepare for the next step. 💙🐮🦄

🐮 Prayers for Moo Today 🐮

Today is a big day for our brave little Moo. He is undergoing specialty surgery with the amazing Dr. Heitman at All City Pet Care South, and we would love your prayers and positive thoughts as he heads into this important procedure.

Moo has already overcome so much in his young life, and this surgery is a huge step toward the healthy, happy future he deserves.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and supported Moo’s journey. Because of your kindness, this surgery is possible.

Please keep our sweet boy in your thoughts today and send all the healing vibes his way. We can’t wait to see him recover, continue thriving, and eventually find the forever family he’s been waiting for. ❤️

You’ve got this, Moo! 🐮💕

From our director:

I broke a rule.

As many of you know, we are currently on intake hold. The reality is that we simply cannot welcome more dogs into rescue until additional funds are raised. That doesn’t stop the pleas for help from coming in. Even on our best days, we say “no” far more often than we get to say “yes.”

But every once in a while, a dog comes along that we simply can’t ignore.

Travis was found as a stray—emaciated, suffering from a severe skin infection, and facing a long list of medical concerns. We watched as his euthanasia deadline drew closer. We shared his information with partner rescues, hoping someone could step in. No one could.

By Friday, his time was measured in hours.

And that’s when we broke the rule.

Despite being on intake hold, despite knowing we shouldn’t be taking on another major medical case right now, we couldn’t let his story end that way. Travis deserved a chance. A chance to be seen. A chance to receive medical care. A chance to know kindness.

Right now, we know very little about him other than that he is gentle, loving, and deserving of every effort we can make on his behalf. Whether he has months, years, or only a short time ahead of him, we believe he deserves to spend that time surrounded by warmth, comfort, and people who care.

But we can’t do it alone.

His medical care will come with a significant cost (estimating $1,800) for heartworm treatment and initial diagnostics and meds, and he urgently needs a foster home where he can safely land while we begin searching for answers.

And one more thing—we think “Travis” deserves a fresh start and a new name for this new chapter of his life. Drop your name suggestions in the comments below.

Thank you for helping us show this deserving boy that his story isn’t over yet. Every dog deserves someone willing to show up for them. ❤️🐾

Last week, a miracle came together. ❤️

Our transport team spent hours sanitizing and preparing Vida, the rescue van, while hoping and praying this mission would come together. At the time, we still needed support to make it happen.

Because of YOUR generosity, it did.

Then our transport drivers gave up their weekend, climbed into the van, and hit the road to give a van full of deserving dogs a second chance at life.

We don’t have many photos from this mission. With a smaller crew on the road, they were BUSY making sure every dog was safe, comfortable, and headed toward a brighter future.

But what we do have are grateful hearts.

Thank you for believing in these dogs. Thank you for donating, sharing, cheering us on, and making this mission possible. Because of you, a van full of dogs is now safe and one step closer to the lives they deserve.

This is what second chances look like. And that was made possible because of YOU…Thank you! ❤️🐾🚐

Come say hi tonight!

We’re running out of time.

27 of 50 spots secured

We’re tired. The challenges feel endless. But giving up means dogs with a chance at a better life get left behind—and that’s not something we’re willing to do.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared so far. Unfortunately, our plea for help has only been shared by 17 people out of 22,000 followers. The reality is that we can’t raise the funds needed if people don’t see the post.

We need to raise $1,200 TODAY to make this weekend’s rescue mission a reality.

🐾 $50 sponsors a freedom ride for one dog
🐾 Every dollar helps save lives

And for the love of all things holy, if you love dogs, PLEASE share this post. Help us reach more people and show these deserving dogs that more than 17 people care about their future. ❤️

❤️ We Need a Moment to Catch Our Breath.

May was a BIG month for B-Squad. Through three rescue missions in honor of Ryan Gienapp, more than 160 dogs found safety in rescue.

Of those dogs, 16 were welcomed into our B-Squad program, and more than half are already requiring specialized veterinary care that far exceeds what we budgeted for. From heart conditions to orthopedic concerns and other medical needs, the bills add up quickly.

The reality is that we are tired. Emotionally, physically, and financially. There never seems to be enough time, enough resources, or enough dollars at the end of the day—but the dogs still need us.

This month, we won’t be welcoming additional dogs into B-Squad as we work on fundraisers to raise the funds needed to provide the veterinary care our current dogs deserve.

Our transport team can still make a difference and help 40–50 dogs reach the safety of partner rescues, but we need your help to make that happen.

🚐 Just $50 sponsors a Freedom Ride and saves a life.

If you’ve ever cheered us on, shared a post, donated, fostered, or adopted—thank you. Today, we’re asking for your help once again.

Please donate if you’re able, and if not, a share means more than you know. ❤️🐾

⚓️ Meet Rudder! ⚓️

Rudder is a 3-month-old French Bulldog puppy who believes the resident big dogs are the coolest thing ever! From the moment he arrived in foster care, he settled right in, learned the dog door, and started following his canine friends everywhere they go.

This sweet boy loves playing outside, trying to keep up with the big dogs, and letting out his adorable little bark as if to say, “Hey, wait for me!” When he’s not busy adventuring, you’ll find him napping or snuggled up with his favorite humans.

Rudder would do best in a home with patient resident dogs who can help show him the ropes as he continues to grow and learn.

Please note: Rudder’s adoption fee is slightly higher than our standard fee. In addition to covering his care while in rescue, it helps fund future rescue missions and allows us to continue saying “yes” to adult dogs, medical cases, and special-needs dogs in need of a second chance.

Ready to add this adorable little first mate to your crew? ❤️🐾
