Tracy’s Paws Rescue

Little Sonya came to us from the Rio Grande Valley after living outside and not receiving the care she deserved. Despite that, she has always been such a friendly, gentle, and sweet little dog.

We are so happy that Sonya has now received the life upgrade every dog deserves ….a loving home and a human to call her own. Our hearts are full for everyone involved.

Congratulations, sweet Sonya. We’re going to miss you around here, but we couldn’t be happier for you. And don’t worry….we’ll make sure your roommate, Zelda, finds a wonderful home just like you did. 💙🐾

Please share! Y’all helped get Tucker adopted, maybe we can get these pups a home for Christmas!

I wanted to share some great news! Pancake, Waffle, and their mama Maple all tested negative for Chagas disease and are now officially available for adoption through Tracy’s Paws. Could they be any cuter? 🥞🧇🍁

This was truly a wonderful event in St. Augustine, Florida. I couldn’t be happier for the dogs who now get to say goodbye to rescue and hello to their new lives. Seeing several of our long-term residents finally go home made it even more special.

We also had a beautiful mix of adopters some “double dippers,” some first-time dog owners, and just genuinely wonderful people.

We were even honored to have a former adopter fly all the way in from New York. We truly have the most amazing group of supporters and adopters.

Thank you to everyone who helps make these events possible. My friend Tracie flew in from Michigan … Dexter’s mom 😊and, as always, Sally organized everything flawlessly. She is truly wonderful. My friend Shelli also flew in to help, and I am so grateful to all of the volunteers who carefully review applications and help ensure our dogs are matched with the right families.

I appreciate each of you more than you know. A special thank you to our staff who take such loving care of the dogs before they ever leave for their forever homes.

Thank you to everyone who keeps this ship sailing in the right direction. Love is the fuel. Enjoy the pictures. 💙🐾

This picture means so much to me because it shows the incredible upgrade little Dori has received.

She came to us from the streets after living in someone’s backyard, having puppies, and being shooed away. When she arrived, she had scarring that told a hard story, and we believe she may have been attacked at some point. She wasn’t used to much handling, but underneath it all was the most gentle, sweet soul.

Dori settled in at the rescue, but we knew she needed a quieter home to truly thrive. She became a favorite, and we searched and searched for just the right person. Then we found her mom….and it was love instantly.

Dori is now cherished, pushed around on walks in her stroller, and treated like the princess she is.

We are so happy for you, sweet Dori, and can’t wait for the updates from your beautiful new life. 🐾💗

From Tuckers mom! We find the best people! More updates coming from the St Augustine travelers!

Dear diary,

I left Texas went for a really really long car ride. And ended up somewhere where I kept hearing them calling it Saint Augustine, FL. I don’t know what it is, but there were a lot of very excited people to see us come in the van.

I got handed off to a couple who seemed really excited to meet me, I licked their faces a little bit because it seemed like the right thing to do seeing how excited they were to meet me . Who can blame them after all?

They took me to a place they called my “new home”. They told me I was safe here. We sat on the couch and they bought me a ball. I love balls. I’m not quite sure how they knew it, but it’s a really good ball.

Towards the evening, they let me go into my new crate and relax and chill out a little bit. I Slept great!

This morning when I woke up my new mom put something on me, she called a sweater… I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, I tried to shake it off, but it wouldn’t come off. Then she took me on a walk, it seemed like it was a really, really, long walk, but she assured me it was only 1 mile. I’m not sure if I like these things called walks yet but my new mommy seems pretty insistent on them.

She’s a little weird, every time I p*e she gets really excited and tells me I’m a good boy. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I’ve been p*eing for a really long time all by myself. I wonder what she’s gonna do when I p**p?? But, we all have our quirks…and she seems to mean well…

She let me rest on her lap this morning after breakfast, and gave me some belly, rubs, some ear rubs, and she even massaged my back a little bit. It was nice. But then, then, oh my gosh… She started to scratch under my chin… I don’t even have the words for that. I started to fall asleep. My eyes were rolling back in my head, the under the chin rub was by far the best. I’m hoping for more of these!

I miss Tracy and the rest of the staff at

Tracy’s Paws Rescue , I wanted to make sure that they know how much I love them and I appreciate all that they did for me to get me here. I’ll have to ask my mommy to send them a telegram or something. They were really, really good to me for a really long time. And I appreciate them making sure that my new mommy & daddy are a good fit for me.

Thank you Tracy, staff, all the volunteers and to all the people who prayed for me during my hard times, when I truly needed you all the most- you were all there. God bless all these earthly angels.

Gotta go, I think daddy’s waking up. I should probably give him some kisses, he’s recovering from back surgery, so he needs me.
