🐾💛 Foster or Adopter Needed for Baby Scarlett 💛🐾

Just look at that face. 😍

Baby Scarlett is a 4-month-old Lab mix who was found as a stray and sadly never claimed. But we're hoping her story is about to take a much happier turn. 🖤

This sweet girl is currently waiting with one of our animal control partners, and we would LOVE to bring her into the Rover's Do Over family.

But first...

🏡 We need a foster or adopter.

✨ About Baby Scarlett:
🐾 Approximately 4 months old
🐶 Great with other dogs
💛 Very social and friendly
🎾 Happy puppy energy
🥰 Completely adorable

Like any puppy, Scarlett is at that fun age where she's learning about the world, making friends, and figuring out who she wants to be.

And from what we've seen so far? She wants to be everyone's best friend. 😄

When you see us posting dogs like Scarlett, it's important to know that she is still waiting at animal control until we have somewhere for her to go.

A foster home is what allows us to say yes.

A foster home is what gets her out of the kennel and into a loving environment where she can grow, learn, and prepare for adoption.

🐾 We provide veterinary care and support

🏡 You provide the safe place to land

Or maybe...

You skip fostering altogether because you've already fallen in love. 👀💛

🐾🖤 Foster or Adopter Needed for Vader 🖤🐾

Vader is the newest dog at one of our local animal control partners after being found as a stray and sadly never claimed. And now this handsome boy is waiting for someone to give him the fresh start he deserves.

✨ Meet Vader:

🐾 Approximately 5 years old
💪 Over 75 pounds
🖤 Big, strong, handsome guy
💛 Super sweet and friendly
🐶 Ready for his next chapter

Let's be honest...

Vader is a BIG boy.

He is strong and will need a confident handler who can continue working with him and provide the structure he needs to be successful.

But underneath all that size?

Is a really sweet dog who just wants attention, affection, and a chance to belong somewhere.

When you see us posting dogs like Vader, it's important to know that he is still waiting at animal control. We would LOVE to welcome him into the Rover's Do Over family, but we need a foster or adopter lined up first.

Because fostering is what allows us to say yes.

🏡 A foster home would give Vader the opportunity to:

💛 Escape the kennel environment
💛 Decompress in a home
💛 Show us who he really is
💛 Start his journey toward finding a forever family

🐾 We provide veterinary care and support

Every single day, we work alongside local animal controls to help dogs who have nowhere else to go.

Medical cases.
Dogs struggling in kennels waiting for someone to notice them.

And events like this help make those second chances possible.

So whether you’re coming for:

🎨 Fresh ink
🎟️ Raffles

🐾🍼 Puppies, Puppies, Puppies! 🍼🐾

We have just a few puppies left looking for their forever homes, and honestly... we have no idea how they're still available! 😍

Meet the final three little cuties still searching for families of their own:

🖤 Snooker – the last puppy remaining from Mama Cue's litter.

💛 Miracle – one of Mama Nora's beautiful babies.

💛 Hearn – Miracle's equally adorable brother.

These puppies may have started life under very different circumstances, but they all have one thing in common:

✨ They deserve amazing forever families.

🎱 Snooker came from Mama Cue's litter. Cue was rescued from a large hoarding case while heavily pregnant and gave birth just 16 hours after arriving in foster care. Snooker is the last of her siblings still waiting to be chosen.

🍼 Miracle and Hearn are from Mama Nora's litter. You may remember Nora, the stray we pulled from animal control who surprised us all by giving birth just two weeks later! We know Nora is a Yellow Lab mix, and while dad remains a mystery, we're guessing there may be some Shepherd and/or Rottweiler mixed in there too.

What we DO know?

🐾 They're adorable
🐾 They're playful
🐾 They're growing fast
🐾 They're ready to start their next chapter

Now all that's left is finding the families they were meant for.

💚 IT'S $5 FRIDAY 💚

What can $5 really do?

It won't buy a kennel.
It won't pay for surgery.
It won't cover an emergency vet bill.

But when hundreds of people come together and each give just $5? It changes everything.

It becomes vaccines for a litter of puppies.
It becomes food for a hungry dog.
It becomes a microchip that helps a lost pet find their way home.
It becomes a second chance for a dog that had none.

Every day, we answer calls from animal control officers, shelters, and families in crisis. Every day, there is another dog needing help. Another life hanging in the balance.

The truth is, rescue isn't powered by a few large donors.It's powered by ordinary people doing what they can.

People who skip a coffee.
People who give the cost of a fast-food meal.
People who believe that every dog deserves a safe place to land.

Today, we're asking you to be one of those people.
If every person reading this donated just $5, imagine how many lives we could change together.

🐾 $5 to help feed a rescue dog.
🐾 $5 to help cover veterinary care.
🐾 $5 to help us say "yes" when the next dog needs us.

Will you be part of someone's second chance today?
Donate $5 and help us keep the rescue revolution moving forward.
Because at Rover's Do Over, we're not just saving dogs.
We're building a community that refuses to give up on them.

🐾🏡 Why Fostering Actually Works 🏡🐾

A lot of people think fostering is just “holding onto a dog” until they get adopted.

But fostering is SO much bigger than that.

Fostering is often the difference between a dog surviving… and a dog truly living.

When dogs sit in kennel environments for long periods of time, many begin to struggle emotionally.

Some shut down.
Some become overstimulated.
Some stop showing their personalities entirely.

But then something amazing happens when they enter a foster home…

✨ They decompress
✨ They relax
✨ They start trusting again
✨ Their true personalities begin to shine

And THAT is what helps them get adopted.

Because adopters aren’t just looking for a dog.

They’re looking for connection.

And fostering allows us to actually learn who these dogs are outside of survival mode.

We learn:

💛 What makes them happy
💛 What kind of home fits them best
💛 Their quirks and personalities
💛 How they interact with kids, cats, dogs, routines, and everyday life

This is exactly why Rover’s Do Over is intentionally foster-based.

We do not operate a traditional kennel facility because we believe dogs heal best in homes.

Instead, we partner directly with local animal controls to pull dogs OUT of stressful kennel environments and INTO foster homes where they can safely decompress while waiting for forever families.

Not only does this improve the dogs’ emotional and physical wellbeing…

It also helps relieve the burden on already overcrowded shelters and animal control facilities.

And sometimes?

A foster home is the ONLY thing standing between a dog and having nowhere to go.

The best part?

You do NOT need to be perfect to foster.

You don’t need a huge house.
You don’t need years of dog experience.
You don’t need to commit forever.

You simply need to be willing to give a dog a temporary safe place to land.

🐾 We provide veterinary care and support
🐾 You provide the love and home environment

And together?

We change lives.

Including your own. 🖤

🐾👑 Napoleon would like to formally remind everyone that he is STILL available for adoption 👑🐾

And frankly?

He’s starting to take it personally. 😤😂

This 5-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix may only weigh 24 pounds…

But his confidence level says “retired military general with a vacation home.” 😌

Napoleon is truly a BIG dog trapped in a conveniently portable body.

✨ Why we love Napoleon:

💛 Super smart
🏡 Crate trained
🐶 Dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly
🛋️ Calm and relaxed in the house
🚗 Always down for an adventure
😄 Packed full of personality

Napoleon has settled beautifully into foster care and has quickly proven himself to be the kind of dog who just fits into your life.

He loves people, enjoys affection, and is happiest simply being included in whatever you’re doing.

Running errands?
He’s in.

Watching TV?
Perfect.

Going on an adventure?
Say less. 😎

He already knows the command to go to his crate and picks up routines quickly because honestly?

This little dude is SMART.

And while he absolutely enjoys lap time and affection…

He’s also independent enough to happily relax in his dog bed nearby like the distinguished gentleman he is.

Napoleon is the perfect mix of:

✨ Funny
✨ Confident
✨ Chill
✨ Affectionate

🏡 Napoleon is ready for his forever home.

A home where he can finally stop being overlooked and fully embrace the spoiled little king lifestyle he was clearly born for.

🐾🖤 Milton has watched every one of his siblings find a home… except him 🖤🐾

One by one, Milton watched his brothers and sisters leave for their forever families.

And now? He’s the last one still waiting. A few months ago, Milton was rescued as part of a cruelty case. When he first came to us, life had not been kind to him.
But despite everything he had been through…Milton chose love anyway.

And over the last several months, this boy has absolutely BLOSSOMED.

The scared puppy we once met has transformed into:

✨ A goofy, lovable young dog
✨ A playful friend to other dogs
✨ A happy boy learning how good life can actually be
✨ A dog who is finally ready for a family of his own

Milton is around a year old, 35 pounds and friendly with other dogs. He has that perfect balance of being playful and fun while also knowing how to settle down and just hang out with his people.

And honestly?

He has one of those personalities that just makes you smile.

Milton deserves so much more than the life he started with.

He deserves:

💛 Stability
💛 Adventures
💛 Couch cuddles
💛 Toys of his own
💛 A family who chooses him forever

Because after surviving cruelty and watching every sibling move on before him…

It’s finally supposed to be Milton’s turn.

🏡 Apply to adopt Milton:

📣 Please share because somewhere out there is the family Milton has been waiting for all along.

The last one waiting.

But absolutely worth the wait. 🖤🐾
