Sioux Falls Canine Rescue

We are a foster based dog rescue that focuses our efforts on retired commercial breeding dogs.

We are extremely passionate about providing these dogs with a wonderful life as a beloved house pet once their breeding days are over. Sioux Falls Canine Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, foster-based dog rescue organization.

Hank & Millie saw the cardiologist yesterday and both received really good reports.

Hank heard staff talking behind the door, hence the very concerned look on his face. Hank has been with us since May of 2025 and due to his past is still a nervous fella when outside the comfort of his foster home. The staff was amazing with him and he was so happy to come back to me and climb back in his wagon.

Hank was in congestive heart failure when he came to us and has done exceptionally well. The general life expectancy after a dog has been in CHF is approximately 1.5 years (although it can vary of course). It’s been 1 year and 4 months for Hank and we are actually going to try lowering his dose of Furosemide. His heart was only moderately enlarged yesterday with no evidence of CHF.

Millie is in stage B1 MVD so no need to start cardiac medication at this time. She will go in for her spay/dental/mammary mass removal next month and then be available for adoption to a family willing to keep tabs on her heart health.

Over the years, our group has learned so much about cavaliers and their very specific needs. We’ve seen them (along with other breeds) be bred nearly to death and then tossed to the side like damaged goods.
No dog should ever be subjected to such cruelty but when cavaliers (who are so heavily predisposed to numerous serious health issues) are bred relentlessly regardless of their health status, it is absolutely detrimental.

We strive to stand up and advocate for this special breed. We go the extra mile in order to meet their needs

They deserve it and they are worth it.

Thank you for supporting our mission to do right by these dogs 🐾

The Peanuts Gang 🐾🐶

Lucy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, and Snoopy will be turning 7 weeks old on Sunday.

They received their first round of vaccinations this week and are very happy, healthy, and spunky little Cavalier puppies. Unfortunately, it was discovered that Lucy and Snoopy have grade III heart murmurs. It’s possible they are innocent puppy murmurs that will disappear by 4 months of age. It’s also possible they have heart defects that can be quite serious. They will need to stay with the rescue for an extended period and likely see a cardiologist to determine what exactly is going on.

I know our page has been quiet and I do apologize. We’ve been so busy caring for several sweet pups and will have several dogs available for adoption very soon. We will be sure to post about each of them ❤️

Right now we could really use prayers and donations to keep us going. Echocardiograms for the puppies will cost roughly $750 each and we could be looking at procedures to repair their hearts at several thousand a piece.

This is the sad reality of commercial dog breeding. The health of the dogs is not a priority. So many unhealthy puppies are sold in pet stores all over the country to trusting families who have no idea about the expense and potential heartache they have in store.

We are very happy to have these sweet pups in rescue, where we will do right by them. So many others are not nearly as lucky.

Peppermint Patty, Linus, and Charlie Brown will be accepting adoption interest in the coming weeks but we are unable to accept adoption interest at this time. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Where are our Poodle Lovers?!?! 🐩

Willie and Reba are truly the most darling little poodle pair ever and they are in need of a family to call their own.

Where one goes, the other must follow. You will frequently find them snuggled up together on the couch or in a dog bed. They love each other so very much and need a family willing to welcome them home together ❤️🐾

You can read more about them on their individual web pages.

Please share and help spread the word about these two very special pups!

Sweet Khloe had her official spa day with Shannon at Pampered Pets and she’s feeling like a brand new little lady. She just had SO much hair and it was time for a good cleanup.

You’ll notice that the look of terror, confusion, and stress no longer covers her face. Khloe’s transition to rescue has looked a bit different as she had a family that she was bonded to and loved. She’s definitely grieved that loss and continues to do so but has realized she is safe and very loved with us, too.

We pulled Khloe from our local shelter and never met the family who was forced with the very difficult decision to surrender her. However, we hope they might see this post and know that we have her back.

Khloe had her echocardiogram and bloodwork - both of which came back excellent. She will need regular heart checks to monitor things closely for progression.

Her dental is scheduled 7/28 and we cannot wait as that will likely be life-changing for her and her quality of life will truly skyrocket. Imagine having a mouth full of abscessed, infected, and very painful teeth. The constant pain of a cavity times ten or more.

Dental care is so important for pets.

Our rescue has struggled immensely this year but we were recently blessed with a humbling gift that we are truly grateful for.

To all of our supporters who continue to show up for us over and over again - thank you so much.

My rescue survival guide consists of three simple things - Love, Sweat, and Prayer.
❤️🐾🙏🏻

Stay tuned for more information on Khloe as well as other adoptable pups coming soon!

After a very long labor and delivery for sweet Charlotte, we have puppies ❤️

Sadly, the last two puppies were stillborn which was incredibly heartbreaking. However, we are grateful for the 5 healthy pups we do have, and especially grateful that Charlotte will NEVER have to endure this again.

She will be spayed and have her much needed dental once the puppies are weaned, and will go on to live the pampered life she always should have had.

The puppies do appear to be purebred cavaliers - 2 females and 3 males.

We have received many messages and emails, and while we truly appreciate the interest, we are not willing to discuss potential adoptions at this time.

We will be sure to post when it becomes appropriate to seek forever families for these sweethearts.

Right now we ask for prayers. Prayers that these babies will continue to thrive. The first two weeks are very critical for neonates.

If you would like to help with supplies, we do have an Amazon wish list.

Save the date!
Applebee’s in Sioux Falls (10th St AND Empire Mall Locations) will be donating 25% of sales to SFCR on August 12th!

You just have to show this flyer to your server!

This will be a great way to support our mission as we struggle to continue forward.

There are 4 cavaliers needing to come to rescue next weekend. We would love to welcome them, but at this time we just aren’t in a position to do so.

We need and appreciate the support. Please share!

Misty and Khloe had their echocardiograms and we have really good news to share. 🐾

Both girls are in stage B1 MMVD and no cardiac medications are warranted at this time. Their heart disease will very likely progress in time and will still need to be monitored with yearly echocardiograms. But for now, it’s really great news.
Misty’s VHS per radiographs was approximately 12, which would mean significant heart enlargement. Her echocardiogram gave us such important information and indicated no atrium enlargement and a normal VHS. If we had relied on radiographs alone, starting cardiac medication (Vetmedin), would have been suggested when it isn’t truly needed.
Echocardiograms are truly so important.

We have a list of pups awaiting surgical procedures so that they may officially go up for adoption and we need your help.

Khloe (Cavalier) needs an extensive dental with many extractions.

Lana (Poodle) needs a dental - hopefully nothing major in regards to extractions.

Maria (Cavalier) needs to be spayed as well as an extensive dental.

Misty (Cavalier) needs to be spayed and also have a dental.

We went out on a whim and opened our doors to a few deserving dogs and we need your help to provide them with the care they need and then find them perfect forever families. These won’t be inexpensive procedures due to the significance of 3 of the girls’ dental disease.

Please donate if able and share this post!

We so badly want to be able to continue our work but it’s proving to be very difficult to stay afloat.

Charlotte has a very big surprise to share.🐾

She was scheduled to be spayed next week BUT her vet visit today revealed that she has seven puppy passengers on board.

We need some help because what’s more expensive than one puppy?

SEVEN 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

We also have several adult dogs awaiting their spay/dental surgeries, etc.

The expenses never end, and once again seem to be climbing.

If you can spare just $5 or $10, every bit helps and truly makes a difference.

Please send lots of prayers for a safe and successful puppy delivery Charlotte’s way. We will be sure to update once they have arrived ❤️

Thank you!

We have another new friend to introduce 🐾

Khloe is an 8.5 year old cavalier who we welcomed in as a transfer from our local shelter.

She was surrendered because her family didn’t feel they could provide adequate care any longer.

Khloe has significant dental disease and a pretty loud left-sided heart murmur.

She’s stressed, her entire world has been turned upside down, but we are hoping that the comforts of rescue can help her feel more at ease as she begins a new chapter.

Khloe will need an echocardiogram to evaluate the stage of her heart disease, as well as a much needed dental cleaning with many extractions.

If you would like to donate towards Khloe’s veterinary care, it would be much appreciated.
