United In Rescue

United In Rescue United in Rescue is a group made up of a collection of Hampton Roads canine rescues and organization

Did you know that only 1 in 5 dogs that are born in the United States will find a permanent home? Did you know that homeless animals outnumber people 5 to one? Did you know that over 1 million dogs are killed each year in shelters? Animal rescues work hard, day and night, to overcome those statistics, but most work on a shoestring budget that survives with the love of many BIG hearts. United In R

escue is a joint effort of 3 Virginia Canine Rescues created for the purpose of sharing resources to increase effectiveness. Our mission is to jointly tackle the issues associated with canine welfare and responsible pet ownership. We strive to reduce canine overpopulation, increase adoptions and fosters for canines, and educate others on responsible pet ownership.

This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Wouldn't you love to have a calendar featuring one or more of your pups or cats in it? I know I am going to submit 1 with all 3 of mine because this may be the last year I will have 2 of them. What a memory keepsake to have.
We have had an awful lot of adoptions over the years and we would love to see some of them represent this fundraiser for Operation Save A Shelter Dog ❤

⚠️URGENT⚠️ Our shelter is out of kennel space for dogs. Our shelter was this full in early June, and no pets were euthanized based on space thanks to the support of our community and the hard work of our dedicated team. We can save lives together again, but we need your help NOW!

You can help by:

- Fostering a medium or large dog. Text or call 757-414-6478, or e-mail [email protected] to save a life by temporarily keeping a pet in your home. Fostering is FREE and all supplies are provided.

- Adopting. Visit our shelter or check out available animals online at https://portsmouthhumanesociety.org/adoptable-animals/

- Reuniting found pets with their people. Friendly, uninjured found pets can be reunited with their owners outside of the shelter. Call 757-397-6004 to find out more.

- Looking for your lost pet at the shelter. Visit between 8 am and 5 pm with photos of your pet or records to show ownership and your photo ID.

- Donating. Our shelter has about 100 more pets in care than this time last year, and the cost of additional food, medications, vet care, and staffing is weighing us down. Visit: https://portsmouthhumanesociety.org/ and click "donate."

- Sharing this post to spread the word!

Our Crisis Boarding program is currently in need of fosters! Our Crisis Boarding program temporarily boards and cares for pets while their families are experiencing crisis which means, these pets are not available for adoption. Pets in this program come from a wide array of situations. Their family may be fleeing domestic abuse, facing eviction, experiencing a medical emergency, or recovering from a house fire. These pets need comfort and care while their family gets back on their feet.

Crisis Boarding fostering typically will not last more than 30 days per pet and you receive all supplies you need to care for the pet. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys having the company of pets but is not able or ready to own one. By fostering for our Crisis Boarding program you are helping keep pets with their people and out of shelters. If you are interested in fostering for this program, please fill out a foster application on our website. https://bit.ly/3cpl6H5
