🩵 WE NEED YOU 🩵

This isn’t easy to say… but we’re at a breaking point.

In the last few months, more dogs than ever have come through our doors —
🐾 Abandoned puppies
🐾 Seniors left behind
🐾 Emergency medical cases
🐾 Survivors of neglect and abuse

We said yes to every one of them — because that’s what we do. But every “yes” comes with a cost… and right now, the bills are higher than we’ve ever seen. 🧾

Spay/neuter surgeries. Emergency vet care. Prescription meds. Specialty food. Heartworm treatments. Grooming. Flea & tick prevention. Transportation.

It’s all added up. And now — we need your help to keep going.
If Doodle Rock Rescue has ever touched your heart…If you’ve adopted, fostered, donated, or even just shared a post…
This is your moment to make a difference.

⭐Why should you only use a professional pet sitter?⭐

The growing need for pet care has prompted many tech companies and venture capitalists to enter the industry in recent years to launch pet-care apps and similar platforms, and individuals have joined the gig economy to earn extra cash as an occasional pet sitter or dog walker.

However, for pet parents who want the best care for their pets, selecting a professional pet-sitting or dog-walking company is a must!

Seeking out the services of a local professional pet-sitting business ensures you are utilizing the services of a local professional that is rooted in your community, involved in local pet-related efforts and is contributing to your local economy

PSI advises pet parents to do their due diligence to ensure they are hiring true professionals. The association offers a few tips:

1️⃣Schedule an in-person meeting. 👉PSI advises pet parents to schedule an in-person meeting with any potential pet sitter they are considering. This “meet and greet” or “initial consultation” gives pet parents an opportunity to meet the pet sitter, see them interact with their pets, and review their services as well as their credentials and policies.

2️⃣Ask the right questions. 👉PSI’s free Pet Sitter Interview Checklist includes important questions every pet parent should ask—from whether the pet-sitting company is bonded and insured to whether they use a pet-sitting services agreement or contract.

3️⃣Ask for recommendations if needed. 👉Don’t delay booking your professional pet sitter. Many professional pet sitters find that their summer schedules get booked up quickly. If the professional pet-sitting service you contact is booked, be sure to ask them for a recommendation, as most are happy to provide referrals to other reputable pet-sitting companies in your area.

OK! WE'RE IN TROUBLE!

These are the recent intakes. Almost all of them have medical needs that have to be treated. Which ain't cheap!! 😬

Six of these babies are going to the vet on Friday:
1) Wendy: getting spayed & vaccinated
2) Jack: he came in with a head tilt; it's not getting better with meds so it's time for head xrays
3) Carlotta: getting spayed, fiv/felv tested, vaccinations, and dental
4) Domino: getting spayed, fiv/felv tested, vaccinations, and dental
5) Bell: having a dental
6) Jollibee: getting spayed, fiv/felv tested, vaccinations, and dental

I fully expect our bill to be $3000-4000. And I don't have it.

Please help us help them!Donations can be made:
1) here, on this post
2) through PayPal at www.paypal.me/stpr
3) through Venmo at

USE CAUTION WHEN CHOOSING A FLEA & TICK PREVENTIVE FOR YOUR PET!⚠️

Popular flea, tick and Heartworm products have a history of being associated with reactions in some dogs and cats including seizures, behavioral issues, muscular/balance issues, and even death.😿

One class of these pesticides Isoxazoline (found in products like Nexgard, Bravecto and others) is so powerfully potent that it starts killing within two hours after administration!🤯 In fact, it kills 98.7% of fleas within 24 hours! Because of this, Isoxazoline drugs now carry a warning on their labels in both the U.S. and Canada.Even the FDA-U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning statement for veterinarians and pet parents.

If you need to use a chemical preventive, or if you are looking for safer alternatives, you’ll want to download our FREE FLEA, TICK & HEARTWORM GUIDE in the Learning Lab where we give you natural repellant recipes along with supplement protocols to help support your pet if you have to give these pesticides.🙌🌿💊

🌞🌑 Is your furry friend ready for the April 8 Solar Eclipse? Here are some tips to ensure their safety during this celestial event!

Dr. Jerry Klein, chief veterinary officer for the American Kennel Club, shared valuable insights with "Good Morning America" about keeping pets safe during the eclipse.

Here's what you need to know:

🐾 Is the eclipse dangerous for pets?
While the eclipse is an awe-inspiring sight for humans, it may cause stress or confusion for pets. However, rest assured that dogs and cats are unlikely to stare directly at the sun, minimizing the risk of eye damage.

🐶🐱 Should pets be indoors during the eclipse?
Keeping pets indoors during the eclipse can help prevent anxiety, as they may find the unusual activity and excitement unsettling. Maintain their routine as much as possible to ensure their comfort.

😿 Will the eclipse stress out my pet?
The primary concern for pets during the eclipse is not the event itself, but the potential stress caused by changes in their environment or the reactions of their owners. Keep an eye on your furry companions for any signs of distress and create a soothing atmosphere for them.

Remember, your pet's safety and well-being come first during this rare celestial event. Take precautions to ensure they stay calm and comfortable.
