Graphic warning ‼️📸❤️‍🩹

Introducing Seamus, aka Shay. 🤍

Shay was brought into the city shelter as a cruelty case. Thankfully, the moment he was available, shelter staff asked if we could help him get out ASAP for relief. We picked him up within an hour. 🙏❤️

We can assume by his extremely injured body and fear, that he’s the result of yet another crappy backyard breeder. Likely kept in a crate, starved, and neglected from all basic care. But that is behind him now…

We need help raising funds for Shay, our newest medical dog. 🙏

So far we have spent $250 on an emergency groom and are raising $1,000 for upcoming vet bills to get him healed, neutered when ready, and manage his needs.

🔗 Visit rescueatxdogs.org/donate for donation options.

Shay is seeking a long term foster or an adopter (who would start as a foster until he is medically cleared).

Fosters needed by 10/15❗️🚨

This litter of puppies is ready to split into groups for their next chapter until they’re adoption ready in November.

Each foster home will take a group of 3 as they continue growing, learning, and preparing for adoption. 🏠

The pups are 6 weeks old, German shepherd/lab mixes. They’re all healthy and caught up on vaccines.

Fostering at this stage means helping them learn how to be confident, social, and comfortable in a home environment. 🧠♥️

The rescue will provide all supplies, food, and ongoing support. Fosters provide safety, care, and love.

➡️ We’re looking for foster homes in or around Austin, Texas who can commit through mid November and help drive to occasional vet appointments and adoption events.

It is with deep sadness that we share that Binky has crossed the rainbow bridge. 🥺❤️‍🩹

Binky’s journey has touched many hearts. He was part of the senior trio we helped after their owner was taken into hospice- who gained custody when her daughter passed away in 2020, and loved the dogs deeply. In her final days, we were told how grateful she was that they had found safety with us. It’s something that still chokes us up every time we think about it. 😭

Unfortunately, despite every effort, Binky’s condition didn’t improve. The sphincter controlling his bladder function was severely impacted, and his quality of life was declining. After many days of close treatment and daily hospital visits, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to be Binky’s voice and let him go while he was still feeling his best. ❤️‍🩹

Binky left knowing he had a home and family. His incredible foster family, vet specialists, and volunteers became his second family and did everything possible to give him a chance and prioritize his comfort. 🫶

Special shout out to his foster parents who took selfless care of him, including sleeping on the floor, and quickly become medical fosters for him. Binky felt your love every moment and was home with you. ❤️
Special shoutout to our rescue director, Kristal, who spent every waking moment researching, planning, and advocating for him. He got the Kristal love & dedication that any living being is lucky to get. ❤️

Binky was loved like our own. We take comfort in knowing he’s now reunited with his moms, watching over his siblings Remy and Clemy. 🙏

We’ll continue to care for them and other senior dogs in his honor, carrying forward the love and devotion he inspired in us all. ❤️

The last week revolved around Binky and we haven’t had a chance to fundraise fully for his care.
To help us cover the medical expenses from Binky’s care, please visit rescueatxdogs.org/binky. 🙏
Every bit helps us continue this work for others like him. 🤍

9 German Shepherd mix puppies are ready to start their next chapter of being split into 3 foster homes! 🐶

Each home will take a group of 3 as they continue growing, learning, and preparing for adoption at the end of November. 🏠

At 6 weeks old- they’re healthy, curious, and caught up on vaccines and care for their age.

Over the next several weeks, their bodies and minds will change rapidly- they’ll grow stronger, test their teeth, discover new sounds, and develop their first real sense of the world. Fostering at this stage means helping them learn how to be confident, social, and comfortable in a home environment. 🧠♥️

We provide all supplies, food, and ongoing support. Fosters provide safety, care, and love.

Expect fun and chaos in equal measure- muddy paws, nap cuddles, teething, and cleaning- but also the reward of watching them transform from wobbly babies into ready-for-adoption companions. 🥰

➡️ We’re looking for foster homes in or around Austin, Texas who can commit through late November and help drive to occasional vet appointments and adoption events.

Binky Update 💚

After 4 days in hospital, Binky is finally home with his caring foster family. Thanks Nadine, Casey & Petey for loving our boy! He has shown us how determined he is, and we know he’s just getting started.

We’ve already paid over $6,000 in medical care and his road to recovery will require ongoing medical management, speciality care and therapy. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned from our boy TJ, it’s how resilient these pups can be. Binky is TJ strong, and we will continue to fight alongside him.

🐾 Every donation helps cover his medical care, supplies, and the support he needs to keep progressing. One step at a time.

👉 Join Team Binky. Let’s keep him moving forward.

Beau the beagle made his debut & stole hearts! 🥰

It is magical to see dogs like him go from living alone for weeks in the streets, to decompressing in foster with us and being able to show his loving & silly self to new friends.

Beau is a resilient little guy. Neighbors said the owners moved out & left him. He spent atleast 4 weeks living at the mailboxes, through the heat and storms. Needless to say, Beau snoozed hard his first few days and is still catching up on some peace & love.

Beau is not yet available for adoption as he goes through his medical steps & spends time transitioning to his true self so we can best determine his ideal home.

Please donate to the costs of Beau’s care at rescueatxdogs.org/donate. 🔗
Donations make our work possible, to be able to help dogs like Beau have a fresh start.

A sudden spinal injury has left Binky unable to walk and unable to empty his bladder on his own. What began as a hopeful diagnosis of FCE has now been ruled out. His neurologists believe he is facing a serious cervical spinal cord problem, most likely IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease).

💔 What this means:
- Binky is in significant pain.
- Without surgery, his chances of recovery are very slim.
- The path forward is an MRI and likely spinal surgery, with an estimated cost of $8,000–$10,000 not including the rehabilitation he’ll need afterward.
- Our rescue has already spent $2,700 on emergency care, and so far we’ve raised only $500 toward this lifesaving treatment.

⚠️ Why We Can’t Wait
- Binky is getting a MRI now, and the neurology team is preparing to move forward with surgery.
- We need funds immediately to cover the MRI and be able to say “yes” to surgery the moment we get the call.
- Every hour matters: if too much time passes and Binky loses deep pain perception, his chances of recovery plummet.
- Right now, given the suspected diagnosis, surgery offers him a ~90% chance of regaining mobility.
- If we delay, those odds can drop to barely a coin flip.

💔 We’ve seen how fast spinal injuries can change. Please help us act before it’s too late.

Binky is being seen at Texas A&M for his sudden neurological issues, causing him to be unable to walk.❤️‍🩹 His diagnosis is still being determined. He will be seen by the neurology team in the morning and further diagnosed.

We will do everything we can to make sure he’s healthy, comfy, and loved. ❤️

We need your help to cover his vet visits during this time, please donate and share if you can- rescueatxdogs.org/binky 🔗

Special shoutout to his wonderful foster parents who have loved him unconditionally the last few weeks. 🙌

💔 Sad news about sweet senior Binky 💔

Binky is one of the senior trio (brother to Remy & Clemy) who lost their home when their guardian went into hospice care. After finding safety with RAD, Binky was finally settling into the good life again. He was lounging on the couch, cruising around town, and taking in the sights on Lady Bird Lake.

But last night, Binky jumped off the bed and injured his spine. His foster dad rushed him to the ER, where after hours of testing, he was diagnosed with Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE).

The good news:
✨ FCE isn’t painful after the initial onset, it doesn’t require surgery, and many dogs recovery with supportive care and therapy.
The hard part:
💔 Right now, Binky is paralyzed and cannot use his hind legs.

Binky has an incredible foster family with a safe, single-story home and the dedication to help him through rehab. We are heartbroken to see him go from running free to being paralyzed overnight. With rest, supportive care and physical rehabilitation, dogs can show signs of improvement within a few weeks. But his road ahead will be difficult, and his vet bills and daily care needs will continue to increase.

We have many of the larger supplies thanks to the community’s support of TJ’s journey, but we could use help replenishing the day-to-day items:

💵 Donations for emergency and ongoing care
🩲 Belly bands & potty pads
🧩 Enrichment items

Binky deserves every chance to heal and thrive. If you’d like to support his care, donations of supplies or funds are deeply appreciated. And most of all, please keep this gentle senior in your thoughts as he begins his road to recovery. 💕

Sweet as syrup, soft as butter- meet Pancake. 🥞

Just 8 months old and full of love, he’s been through more than any pup should.

Pancake came to the shelter with a fractured femur. By the time he arrived, it was already too old to surgically repair. The good news? He doesn’t need surgery- he just needs time. With another 6 weeks of rest, he’ll be ready to live the carefree puppy life he deserves. 🙏

For now, Pancake is on “easy mode”: long leash walks outside, free to roam the house indoors, but no rough play. What he really needs is a foster home to help him heal, so he doesn’t have to spend his recovery stuck in a kennel.❤️‍🩹

- 8 months old, loving & gentle
- Located at the Austin Animal Center, TX 📍
- Available for foster now (adoption once he’s healed)
- Needs a calm home to finish his recover- no rough play yet

The quintessential bulldog- squishy face, blocky head, goofy grin. 🐾
And yet, Gus has been waiting in a kennel for over 2 months.

Right now, Austin’s space crisis means amazing dogs like Gus are sitting in the shelter far too long. With kennels full, even the most loving pups are being overlooked day after day.
Gus deserves more than a kennel- he deserves a couch, a family, a life outside the shelter. 🙏

About Gus
- Located at the Austin Animal Center, TX 📍
- Can live with a well-matched dog sibling (meet & greets can be scheduled)
- Available for foster or adoption
- Visit AAC any day 11am-7pm to meet him
