Princeton is home safe!! ♥️♥️♥️

Seriously thank you to everyone who helped get him back to me, huge shout out to Tabitha for getting him safe on the drop of a dime and Heather for making a crazy trip to transport him back here tonight!

Everyone who donated and shared, I will never be able to thank you enough! Can’t wait to get him home and settled. 🌻

I never imagined I would have to make this post. 💔😭

I am devastated. Heartbroken. Angry, disappointed, and overwhelmed with guilt and regret. Moments like this make me question everything—whether I can keep doing rescue, and whether the emotional toll is something I can continue to bear.

Princeton is being returned to rescue. 💔

After extensive conversations about his special needs and the commitment he required, we believed Princeton was going to a home ready to love and care for him. Sadly, that was not the reality.

I’ll share more in the coming days. Right now, I’m struggling to process the last 48 hours. My priority is getting him home.

During his five days with his adopter, I was kept in the dark about much of what was happening. Thankfully, his former foster TOAD helped communication, and our incredible friend The Tiny Frenchie On 🛞🎀 who got him out of that home last night. He is safe.

But he is not okay. He suffered horrific diarrhea for days without veterinary intervention, and the sore on his foot is in terrible condition. His diarrhea has improved, but emotionally he is struggling. It is written all over his face😭

California. Vegas. Texas. Five days in a new home. Another three-hour drive yesterday. Tomorrow, another flight back to Las Vegas with an experienced special-needs transporter.

This sweet boy deserves peace, stability, and safety. He deserved better. 💔

I hate asking after everything you already gave to get him to Texas, but we now face $500 for his emergency return transport, generously discounted, plus at least $300 for a veterinary visit and foot culture Friday.

We need to raise $800. Any donation helps us bring him home without postponing medical care for other dogs.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for Princeton. Please send him love and good thoughts. We’ll update our stories as he travels home tomorrow.

I just need my boy back. Safe. Loved. Home. And work on getting his sparkle back💔😭

🎃🐾 Please welcome Bebe to the Retired to Rescue family! 🩷

We’re a little late with this introduction! We actually welcomed Bebe about a week ago, but between the approximately 1.5 MILLION things happening around here, we’re just now getting a chance to introduce her. 😂

First things first, Bebe is safe, in a foster home, and doing wonderfully! BUT her foster is leaving town tomorrow, and we need someone who can love and snuggle this sweet girl for about FIVE DAYS! 🥹

Now, a little about Bebe!

She’s a breeder surrender who thankfully has never had puppies. She turned one in early August and has her whole life ahead of her.

Bebe also has a very special connection to our rescue. She’s the sister of our precious Finch, our hydro baby we lost earlier this year. They have the same mom and dad, just from different litters. 💔🕊️ Having a little piece of Finch back in our lives makes welcoming her extra special.

Thankfully, Bebe appears to be healthy! She was reportedly surrendered because of allergies, and while she’s a little itchy, she has a beautiful coat and otherwise seems to be doing great. We’ll address her allergies, get her spayed ASAP, and then help her find her forever home.

And she’s SUCH a good girl! ❤️

🐾 Dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly
💕 Kid and people friendly
🏡 Uses a dog door and is doing great with potty training
💤 Comfortable in her crate
🥰 A little shy meeting new people, but warms up quickly and LOVES to snuggle!

🚨 TEMP FOSTER NEEDED STARTING TOMORROW! 🚨

If you’re local to Las Vegas and can open your home for just five days, we’d be so grateful! And if you’re considering adopting, this could be a wonderful chance to see if Bebe is your girl.

We’re also accepting adoption applications now, ahead of her spay!

Please read the entire post before applying. Foster and adoption applications are available through the link in our bio or at www.retiredtorescue.org.

Please help us give this sweet girl the warmest welcome! We’re so happy she’s here. 🩷

Happy Halloween and happy Saturday! 🎃🐾

🐾 FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY — HELP THREE PUPS GET CLOSER TO FOREVER! ❤️

Spaying and neutering is one of the most important parts of rescue. It’s how we fight the heartbreaking cycle of overpopulation, homelessness, and unnecessary euthanasia.

It’s also a HUGE part of our medical expenses. Every dog who comes through Retired to Rescue is spayed or neutered before adoption. Today, we’re asking for help with three special pups who are almost ready for their happily ever afters! ❤️

🐾 JIGGLY

Our tiny, sassy, determined little girl! Jiggly has been with us quite some time as we’ve focused on physical therapy following her IVDD. She’s resilient beyond words, and we’re so grateful we saved her from the shelter after being found in her condition as a stray💔. She’s getting spayed next week, and then she’ll officially be looking for her forever family!

🐾 TOOKIE

This big, lovable boy came to us as an owner surrender with some nasty ear infections. After lots of treatment and TLC, he’s doing wonderfully! He’s thriving in a foster-to-adopt home, and his neuter is the final step before making his forever official! ❤️

🐾 BISCUIT

Our sweet Biscuit moved into a wonderful foster home last night, where he’ll stay until adoption! We waited to see if his testicles would descend, but neither has. He’ll need a more invasive and expensive neuter because he’s cryptorchid.

After spending his puppyhood living in a yard, this sweet boy deserves the beautiful life ahead of him.

❤️ OUR GOAL TODAY IS $600! ❤️

Just $600 will cover all THREE surgeries and bring these babies closer to forever!

If you can spare $5 today, please know it genuinely makes a difference. These procedures may not be the dramatic parts of rescue, but they’re some of the most important.

🐾💕 WISHLIST WEDNESDAY: DOUBLE THE PUPPY LOVE! 🍼🐶

We have some VERY exciting news to share!

We have officially received confirmation that Puma’s sister will be joining our rescue this weekend! 🥹❤️

That means the two surviving puppies from a litter of 12 will BOTH be safe, loved, and given the chance at the beautiful lives they deserve.

We are beyond excited that the decision was made to surrender this sweet girl to us. We cannot wait to welcome her, watch her grow, and eventually find her the perfect forever home.

Reuniting them is what they both need and deserve. 💗

And speaking of these two… we’re thinking Puma might need a name change so we can give this brother and sister duo matching names! 👀 Drop your suggestions below!

For those who missed Puma’s introduction, these babies are half Boerboel and half Cane Corso. That means we have two future GIANTS on our hands! Big, strong, beautiful dogs who will need homes with people who understand their breeds.

🍼 NOW, LET’S TALK PUPPY SUPPLIES!

Anyone who has followed us through previous puppy adventures knows raising puppies is EXPENSIVE. And when you’re bottle-feeding two growing giant-breed babies, those expenses add up FAST!

This Wishlist Wednesday, we’re asking our community to help us stock up on essentials.

🐾 Our BIGGEST need is PetAg Goat’s Milk Esbilac puppy formula.

We also need:
🍼 Puppy potty pads
🤍 Baby wipes
🧸 Puppy toys
🐶 Other puppy essentials from our wishlist

Our Amazon Wishlist is linked below, and every item makes a difference!

We also need monetary donations for upcoming vet appointments, vaccinations, and the medical care these babies will need as they grow.

Rescuing puppies is an enormous financial commitment, and we couldn’t do it without the incredible community that continues to show up for us.

If you can spare a few dollars or send something from our wishlist today, we would be SO grateful. ❤️

These two little survivors have already overcome so much in their short lives. Now it’s our turn to make sure the rest of their story is filled with love.

Thank you for helping us give them a fighting chance.

Happy Hump Day from our soon-to-be dynamic duo! 🐾💕

🥺 We don’t know why Marshall always looks so sad. Maybe it’s because nobody wants to foster him. 💔

First, we want to say THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up to help us find fosters for the dogs we posted about this weekend. We found help for everyone… except Marshall. And now, it’s his turn. ❤️

Biscuit, aka Marshall, is still waiting for someone to give him a chance.

Despite his sometimes worried little face, Marshall is actually one of the happiest, sweetest, most resilient puppies! 🥹

This little guy went from living in a junkyard outside his whole short life, absolutely petrified of the world, to being a happy-go-lucky puppy who loves everyone he meets. His face just hasn’t gotten the memo. 😂

Marshall is approximately 5 months old and truly SUCH a good boy!

🐾 Extremely dog-friendly, big and small!
🐾 LOVES CHILDREN
🐾 Does great in a crate or puppy pen
🐾 Uses a dog door
🐾 About 80% potty trained
🐾 Sweet, submissive, and eager to please

He is still a puppy and will need some guidance adjusting to a new home, but he really is an easy little guy.

Marshall has already been moved around a couple of times due to his foster needing surgery, and we desperately want his next stop to be somewhere he can settle in and stay until he’s adopted.

We know most people come to us wanting to foster bulldogs. We understand that. But Marshall is every bit as deserving of a safe home, love, and stability as the bulldogs we rescue. ❤️

We’re desperately hoping someone will open their home to him LONG-TERM, until he finds his forever family.

🏡 FOSTERS MUST BE LOCAL TO LAS VEGAS.

We provide ALL supplies, food, veterinary care, and support. You provide a safe home, love, guidance, and occasional pictures and updates!

Marshall is also available for adoption! Out-of-state adoptions are welcome, with pickup in Las Vegas.

Please don’t let this sweet boy continue to be overlooked just because he isn’t a bulldog. He’s already overcome so much, and he deserves someone willing to give him a chance.

Today is Marshall’s turn. 🥹❤️

Please apply to foster or adopt, or SHARE this post so we can find his person!

Let’s give this sweet boy something to smile about. 🐾❤️

🐾💙 A little Sunday puppy happiness from PUMA! 💙🐾

Our sweet little Puma is doing INCREDIBLY well, and we wanted to share a happy update with all of you! 🥹❤️

We’ve been working through some tummy troubles, including bloating and constipation, but overall, this little guy is thriving!

The abscess on the side of his face has completely healed! 🙌 He is currently being treated with antibiotics and prednisone, as our vet suspects he was suffering from puppy strangles. He’s responding beautifully to treatment, which makes us feel confident that we are on the right track!

And let us tell you, this boy is FAT, HAPPY, and HUNGRY! 😂🐷 The steroids have him convinced that he needs to eat approximately 472 times a day, and he would like to formally complain about the current feeding schedule. 🤣

He’s finally starting to look and act like a happy, healthy little puppy, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with his progress! Watching him get stronger and healthier every day has been such a joy. ❤️

We also want to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who has shown up for us this week. Between the donations, the kind words, the shares, and the incredible folks who have filled out foster applications, we are so grateful for this community. 🥹

For now, we just wanted to send a little Puma happiness your way and wish you all a beautiful Sunday! ☀️🐾

Thank you for loving these babies right alongside us. We couldn’t do this without you! 💙

🚨 WE URGENTLY NEED FOSTERS! 💔🐾

Amanda here 👋 Yesterday I shared on our stories that I was personally asking for help, and I’m hoping this reaches people who can step up for us. ❤️

I recently underwent a fairly serious surgery and I’m only 10 days post-op. But rescue hasn’t slowed down. We’ve taken in three dogs this past week, while several others need to return from foster homes due to travel or personal circumstances.

On Thursday, I’m flying to Texas to take Princeton to his forever home, returning Friday. Between recovering from surgery, caring for everyone, and preparing for this trip, I’m stretched incredibly thin.

I love these dogs, but I can’t do it all alone. Even a few days of fostering would mean everything right now.

Here are the pups we need help with:

🐾 BISCUIT (MARSHALL)

Our adorable 5-month-old pittie mix rescued after spending his whole short life in a junkyard! He’s sweet, smart, dog and kid friendly, and doing great with crate and potty training.

Needs a NEW foster, a temporary foster Monday–Saturday, or a foster-to-adopt home! He can be adopted after neutering.

🐾 GRAVY

Biscuit’s sister is returning to rescue and has a potential meet and greet this week. If that can’t happen before I leave, she needs a temporary foster ASAP through Saturday!

🐾 OTTER

Our sweet chocolate bully saved from euthanasia with pneumonia, severe emaciation, and limb deformities. He’s easygoing and dog friendly, but needs a quiet place to recover, medication twice daily, and limited activity.

Needs a temporary foster Wednesday–Saturday!

🐾 CHEETO

Our adorable bully boy is just over 3 months old and somehow has had NO adoption interest! 😭 He’s an incredibly good puppy: crate trained, dog friendly, kid friendly, and so sweet.

Needs a NEW foster or foster-to-adopt home!

🚨 LAS VEGAS FOSTERS ONLY!

Please apply through our Linktree or www.retiredtorescue.org. Questions? Message us!

And PLEASE SHARE! You might reach the person who can help when you can’t.🙏

I juggle a lot, but right now I’m overwhelmed and asking from the bottom of my heart for help. Thank you for showing up for these dogs and for me. ❤️🐾

😭❤️ WE DID IT!!! PRINCETON IS GOING HOME TO TEXAS!!! ✈️

We are absolutely OVERWHELMED with gratitude right now. Because of this incredible community, your generosity, and your endless love for these dogs, WE RAISED ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY PRINCETON’S PLANE TICKET TO HIS FOREVER HOME!!! 🥹❤️

On Thursday, October 29th, Princeton will officially be taking flight to Texas, where his forever mama is waiting for him, absolutely GIDDY with excitement! And honestly, so are we!!! 🥹

We cannot even begin to express how grateful we are to every single person who donated, shared, commented, or helped make this happen. YOU did this. You made this possible for a little boy who has already overcome so much. ❤️

Our next step is securing our flight home, and we’ve already received an incredibly generous offer from someone willing to let us utilize their airline points! How AMAZING is that?! 😭

And thanks to the additional donations, we are going to make sure Princeton arrives at his forever home with EVERYTHING he could possibly need! Including a little beginner wheelchair so his mama can start working with him to see how he likes having wheels before investing in a custom one! 🦽🐾

This has truly been THE BEST DAY.

Rescue can be so incredibly heavy. There are days when the heartbreak, exhaustion, and financial stress make everything feel so dark.

But somehow, whenever that darkness starts creeping in, our community shows up and brings the light right back. ✨❤️

You remind us why we keep going. Why we keep fighting. Why every single one of these dogs is worth it.

From the absolute bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. A million times, thank you.

We love you. We appreciate you. And we hope you know just how much of a difference you’ve made in Princeton’s life.

Princeton thanks you, too. 🥹🐾❤️

NOW LET’S GET THIS BOY HOME!!! ✈️🏡❤️

🐉✈️ Five Dollar Friday: Princeton’s Got His Wings… Now Let’s Get Him Flying!

GUYS!!! WE HAVE THE BIGGEST, MOST INCREDIBLE NEWS!!! 😭❤️

After waiting so long for his happily ever after, OUR SWEET PRINCETON HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME!!! 🥹🎉

And not just any home… HIS NEW MOM IS A VETERINARIAN! He’ll even have a Frenchie sister!

We truly could not have dreamed of a more spectacular family for our special needs boy. We are OVER THE MOON!!!

But we need YOUR help to get him there! ✈️

This Five Dollar Friday looks a little different. Instead of asking for medical bills or supplies, we’re asking you to help us fly Princeton HOME to Texas! 🏡❤️

Between busy schedules and the holidays, transport has been tricky to sort. So we’ve offered to personally es**rt our boy to his new family!

Here’s the catch…

Princeton is too tall for a traditional airline carrier, and with his straight little legs, squeezing into one would be uncomfortable.

Thankfully, we found JSX Airlines! ✈️ They allow dogs to fly IN THE CABIN, outside of carriers, comfortably on the floor! We just have to purchase the required tickets and seating.

💸 THE COST? NEARLY $1,500 ONE WAY!

That’s JUST to get Princeton there!

We’re also hoping someone might donate airline miles toward our return flight. We’ll personally cover our hotel!

🌟 BUT HERE’S THE AMAZING PART! 🌟

WE HAVE A $500 DONATION MATCH from his amazing current fosters TOAD in honor of their sweet Toad🤍🥹

That means your $5 becomes $10! Your $25 becomes $50! Every dollar brings Princeton closer to home!

We need to book ASAP before prices increase!

❤️ WILL YOU HELP GIVE PRINCETON HIS WINGS? ❤️

This little boy has overcome so much. He’s waited, he’s fought, and now his forever is FINALLY within reach.

Imagine being able to say YOU helped fly a special needs rescue dog across the country to the family he’s been waiting for. 🥹
