Happy Halloween from all of us here at Coffee and Paws Rescue!!! Some of our pups really got into the spirit of the season and dressed up to find their forever homes!

Nothing scarier than an amazing dog that hasn't found their home yet! Will you be their happy ending?🥰

Meet Betty! We need a foster for this beautiful girl starting Sunday, November 1!

Betty is about 45 pounds of beautiful brindle, and her story is one I'll never forget. She survived some of the most horrific abuse I've ever seen, and watching how far she's come has been incredible.

Betty has been through professional training in both PR and here and has made SO much progress! She's still very shy with new people, but she's learning to trust and has such a sweet, playful personality once she feels comfortable.

She's potty trained, crate trained, great on a leash, and very well behaved! She loves running around and exploring, does great with other dogs, and even recently met a toddler for the first time and did wonderfully!

Betty needs a foster home with another dog, as having a canine companion is really important for her confidence. She'll also need someone patient who understands that she may take some time to warm up.

After everything this girl has endured at the hands of humans, she deserves to know nothing but kindness from here on out.

Can you foster Betty starting Sunday? Please DM us if you can, or share to help us find her a safe place to land!

Riddle me this: What do you do when you rescue dogs from Puerto Rico and flights dry up so badly and you have dogs that will be exceed the weight limit of pet carrier?

The answer? You get creative!

Yesterday, Coffee and Paws Rescue did something we hadn’t done before: We sent two of our admins to the island on a 12 hour adventure to bring back two of our dogs: Joshua and Elvira. As a PSA: for puppies to be able to travel in cabin, they can only weigh up to a certain amount. For Joshua and Elvira, time was running out. Our rescue has been asking for flights for several weeks now because we need these pups out of there before they got too big.

We decided we had to get creative with a solution. Another one of our admins decided to donate her Southwest points to at least get two traveler to and from the island. Our amazing Kirstin Gesling and Zoë Sloan-Weiss did not hesitate to say yes to this. And because it truly takes a village, they reached out to Johanna Diaz from One At A Time Rescue Puerto Rico who, in true Hispanic nature, decided to give them a mini tour so they could enjoy the beauty of San Juan in less than 3 hours!😅

After their mini tour, they made their way back to the airport where they cuddled with Joshua and Elvira until it was time to come back to Maryland. Thanks to a group effort, we were able to save two dogs from outgrowing the in cabin requirements.

Joshua and Elvira were not the only ones who needed a ride off the island. Please consider becoming a canine courier! It is so easy and we cover every cost. You too can enjoy the cuddles of a puppy in flight and make sure they take have a chance of living their best life. If we could send volunteers every week to Puerto Rico, we would! But this is a team effort and we need you. Will you help us?

Ok hear me out.... Bambi.... with Thumper ears?

If that sounds like the most adorable combo ever, please meet Zoe!! This 7 month old, ten pound diva has us doing a double look in her direction. We're not completely sure that we rescued a dog and not a baby deer😅.

Not only will you get free wifi with those ears, but Zoe is an amazing pup who loves her humans! She will play all day with dogs and then curl up in a lap for her daily naps. Her foster mama has small grandchildren who visit and Zoe can be the most patient nanny. She is also great on a leash, hasnt had an accident in over a week and sleeps all night in her crate (although we will say, if her foster mama let her sleep on her bed, Zoe would be a happy camper forever)

Her only mortal enemy are sweatpant and sweatshirt strings. But honestly with that face, we would forgive her for anything.

As a bonus: if you get Zoe before Halloween, you know she'd make the perfect Bambi! (no expensive halloween costumes here, it'd be a total bargain)

If you think Ears over here would be the perfect addition to your home, apply for her!

❤️

This is not our regular cutesy posts to get our pups adopted. Today we want to honor of our own. Kirstin has been our adoption coordinator and one of the cornerstones of our rescue for two years. Whenever we need something, she is the first one to say yes. Sadly, we had a situation where one of our kitten rescues had to be put down. This is in Kirstin's own words:

"Euthanasia. A word all pet owners know and dread.

In the rescue world, we want to save them all. We are volunteers opening our homes and hearts to provide safe, temporary homes for these fur babies while they continue their journey to their forever families.

I love what I do. Am I exhausted? YES! But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Sadly, though, rescue isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes, despite everything we do, some animals just don’t make it…..and it SUCKS!

Our rescue recently pulled from a shelter that was at full capacity and needed help. I took in two 4-week-old kittens and one 2-week-old kitten. That meant bottle-feeding every few hours, constant litter changes, heaters running to keep the bathroom warm, and restarting the heating pad every 2 hours.

You do everything you can. But sometimes, it just isn’t enough.

Bruce and I fought together. He was dealt some pretty sh*tty cards in his short life, and I wish his story had ended differently. 💔

We can’t save them all. That’s one of the hardest realities of rescue. But I will continue to show up, open my home, give my heart, and fight for as many lives as I possibly can.

And I’ll keep doing it alongside the most incredible team of people who share that same love and determination. Even when we can’t change the ending, every little life deserves a chance. And every life we save makes it worth continuing to fight.

Run free, sweet Bruce. You were loved, you were fought for, and you mattered. 🐾🌈

Help us fight….adopt, foster, donate or just give a random hug to someone in the rescue world. "

Thank you, Kirstin, for giving Bruce so much love in such a short amount of time🩷

I think it's about time the world gets reintroduced to Baby Spice!!..... sato edition

Meet the beautiful 3 month old, 10 pound Baby Spice. You all know she is the cute little sister of the group which a deep appreciation for pink AND halloween costumes.

Baby and the rest of the girl group were rescued when they were only weeks old. As they were 5 sisters, we knew there was only one adequate name for that litter🤣

Baby has not met a human or dog she
does not love! She is great in the crate and Working hard on potty training (she's a diva after all). Like her namesake she is happy and playful and can rock the most amazing halloween costumes.

If you think Baby Spice belongs in your home, you will tell us what
you want, what you really really want
