Cusco/Cooper is moving North!

We are looking for sponsorships for Cusco’s transport. It will be around $300 to get him safely to his foster!

We think he is the son of Carli.

Can you please help?

Sweet baby 🌻 has been in foster care for more than 6 weeks, and no one has applied to adopt this precious puppy. We saved her from the cruel streets of South Texas, where she, her mama, and her siblings dodged cars and searched day and night for love, food, safety, and security. It seems no one wants her, her siblings, or even Mama.

Mama is still alone in Texas without her family and desperately needs an East Coast foster.

5 months old • Located in Maryland • Crate trained • Great with dogs and people • Super sweet and gentle • A little shy at first, but warms up quickly.

She’s just perfect. 🌻❤️

Please apply to adopt her: www.secondstartrescue.org/adopt 🐾

Ms. Coachella has landed in Virginia! 🖤

Poor girl is a little unsure of things right now, but you can tell she wants to trust. Once she settles in, I have a feeling she’ll be playing and showing off her personality in no time.

She’s very petite and I’m wondering if she might have some collie in her. She also has the strangest feet I’ve ever seen! What breed has little chopped-looking toes? 😂 It’s like a closed fist of knuckles, if that makes any sense. I’ll try to get a picture when she’s not busy being a sleeping beauty.

will be available for adoption in the near future. So far, she’s doing great with kids and other dogs, just a little shy. She is a flight risk at this time, but I’m curious to see how soon she latches onto us and begins to feel safe.

She’s been through a lot of changes—losing her foster siblings and traveling six hours to a completely new place. All things considered, she’s handling it very well. 💗 she sure is a pretty lady!

The way he’s resting his paw on his lap saying thank you 🥺 I could cry! This boy was scheduled to die yesterday and he is so grateful to be alive. What a love 🖤

Meet the new guy, . He’s coming tomorrow 💗

I’m sorry, but we need to change his name. Can I get some suggestions, please!? 🙏

He is also in urgent need of a foster, but at least he didn’t die today. Thank you for that.

I’m thinking like Rick, Riddick, or Riddle. Maybe an R name? Help!
