🚨 FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
Las Vegas + surrounding areas 🐾

We’re looking for an 🐶 incredible human to step up for this deserving girl 💔👇

🍫 POP-TART 🍫
This 7-month-old fluffy chocolate merle Frenchie is as sweet as her name — and she’s finally ready to land in a loving foster home! 💕
She’s been in our care for a while while we treated her for giardia (a common parasite in Frenchies & breeder dogs). She’s done with meds for now, may need one more round in a couple weeks, but otherwise she just needs time for her tummy to settle. 🧼💩 Expect some soft stool. Expect to keep things clean. She can use a doggy door, but like every dog we place — she’s a blank slate in your home. That’s the reality, folks. 🫠 Be willing to really help these dogs with training and learning life inside of a home or please don’t apply.

Pop-Tart is super dog-friendly and overall just a really kind and funny girl. 🐕❤️ She came in around the same time as the hairless Frenchies from the same breeder and she is READY to start her new chapter!

✨ We provide all supplies, vet care, and support for our fosters. You just provide the love, stability, and consistency they’ve never had. 💝

📍 Must be in Las Vegas or surrounding area
📆 Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying
📲 Apply at the linktree in bio or at www.retiredtorescue.org
💬 Already applied? Shoot us a DM if you’re ready to help this sweet girl.

Let’s get Pop-Tart into a cozy, safe home — she’s counting on us. ♥️🐾

💔 In Honor of My Chickie Baby 💔

When I first saw this girl’s photo on the shelter website, my heart stopped. For a split second, I thought it was him, my Chickie Baby… For those of you who don’t know, I lost Chickie earlier this year. He had hydrocephalus, and we only got two and a half years together, but he was truly the brightest light of my life. ✨🌈

This girl isn’t special needs like Chickie was, but her resemblance to him is uncanny (and his Mom looks identical too!) and she is special no doubt! And more than that… the shelter says she’s just a really sweet dog. They state she exhibits strictly friendly behavior and in playgroup she greets well and wants to play. 🥹💕She just radiates kindness.

She weighs about 46 pounds and is noted to be a little overweight—so she’s not a very big dog. She’s just a perfect little bully mix who’s been overlooked for too long. While I TRULY would give anything to scoop her up, my house is at capacity. I JUST CANNOT do it—not without sacrificing the care my current dogs deserve. So I’m begging…

🙏 Please—I need a committed local foster (Las Vegas & surrounding areas only).
We will provide everything: food, supplies, vetting—you just provide the love and the space.

This girl deserves to make it out. She deserves the shot my Chickie Baby got and I desperately want to give her that🥹
And while she may not be him, she stirred that same part of my soul.♥️

❤️ Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED 🚨

We’ve been quiet a few days to recharge, but we’re back and ready to go — we’ll be processing apps over the next few days and are looking for a spot for a special girl ❤️

🐾 Meet Sally 🐾
This sweet little girl has been stuck in the shelter on a legal cruelty confiscation hold for a month — and her time there has to come to an end. We’re so relieved she won’t be going back to the person who hurt her… but now she needs us. She needs YOU.

💔 Sally is described by shelter staff as gentle, quiet, and sweet as can be. That doesn’t mean she won’t blossom with some love and time, but right now, what she needs most is a safe, soft place to land. 🏡

📍 She has no known behavioral or medical issues, and is noted to be dog social at the shelter. She’s just waiting for someone to say, “We’ve got you, girl.”

If you’ve applied to foster and can help Sally ASAP, please DM us or email:
📩 [email protected]

If you haven’t applied yet but want to help, please fill out a foster application at:
🌐 www.retiredtorescue.org or linktree in bio

✅ We cover all supplies and medical care while a dog is in foster.
🗓 Foster commitment is usually 4–8 weeks, depending on the dog’s needs.

‼️ Before applying, please make sure everyone in your home is on board with fostering.

🙏 Please share Sally far and wide. Let’s get her out of that shelter and into a home this week.

🇺🇸💔 Fourth of July = one of the WORST times of year for shelters 💔🇺🇸

Every year, dogs run in fear from fireworks—and shelters overflow in the days that follow. Many of them are in heartbreaking shape: scared, lost, injured, dumped and often worse 😩.

And while we have BIG opinions about fireworks… today we’re focusing on what we can do. We want to be ready to help 2–3 dogs from the shelter this coming week. But we absolutely cannot do that without two things:
👉 FOSTERS
👉 DONATIONS

We need fosters who can take in a dog straight from the shelter. These dogs will be on stray hold at first, and if they aren’t claimed, they’ll be available for rescue.
They will need:
🛏️ A safe, quiet space to decompress
🔐 Temporary quarantine
👀 Patience, love, and consistency

We’ll get them vetted, and provide everything they need but we need you to open your heart and your home. These are not dogs we can take into our own house first and then “find them a better foster.” We just can’t.

💵 Donations are equally critical. It costs us around $600 to intake a “healthy” dog—many cost far more. Skin, eyes, ears, surgeries… it adds up FAST. Every dollar goes right back to the dogs.

👉 Donate via our linktree in bio or
📲 Zelle: 725-265-0396

👉 Foster application is in our bio or at:
🌐 www.retiredtorescue.org

Please make sure ALL members of your household are on board before applying to foster—it’s a huge waste of time when someone backs out last minute, especially when dogs are waiting.🥺

Let’s be part of the solution this week. These bulldogs are going to be out there—lost, terrified, and alone in the heat and then in a scary shelter where there already isn’t enough room. 💔We’re ready to help them, can you help too? 🐾

Please foster, donate or share! ♥️🙏

🎇 Keep your pets safe and secured tonight.🙏

🏡 FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED FOR CHADWICK 🐾

We’re not sure why this sweet boy hasn’t found his person yet 💔 We’ve had a few people interested in Chadwick, but life got in the way—or they simply stopped responding. So here we are again, looking for the right home for him.

Chadwick is currently being fostered by our rescue’s president, but we’re hoping to move some of the healthier pups into new homes so we can focus on dogs with more intensive needs. Chadwick is READY—and he deserves a family of his own ❤️

✨ Chadwick is about 7 months old, around 15 lbs, and probably won’t grow much more—maybe up to 20–25 lbs max. He’s DNA-tested 100% American Bully, but his small size is from severe early neglect. Now that he’s thriving, he’s truly a little gem 💎

✅ Dog-friendly (best with smaller/more tolerant dogs)
✅ Cat-friendly
✅ Eats in his crate, not destructive
✅ Mostly potty trained (just needs continued structure)
✅ Sweet, curious, and doing so well!
🚫 Not ideal for homes with big or rowdy dogs—he is just too small and doesn’t understand his size.

Chadwick will thrive in a home with fewer pets and more attention. He’s still a puppy, so he’ll need a little time to adjust to a new routine and environment, but he’s worth it 💛

💉 He still needs to be neutered (we’ll schedule that soon), but otherwise he’s healthy and ready to find his people.

💸 His adoption fee is $350.
🧡 We provide all supplies and vetting for foster homes.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying.

📲 Apply to foster or adopt Chadwick at the linktree in our bio or visit www.retiredtorescue.org

Let’s get this boy out of rescue and into the home he’s been waiting for. 🏠🐶

🚨 URGENT: FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR FRIGGY 🚨

Friggy’s foster family is heading out of the country on July 16th—and we need to find her a new foster or forever home ASAP 🏡💔

We honestly don’t know why this girl hasn’t been adopted yet. Friggy is one of the sweetest, funniest, and most lovable dogs you’ll ever meet. She’s a classic Frenchie with a big personality, but also a huge heart. 💕

🎾 She LOVES toys, balls, and playing
🐶 Dog & cat friendly (best with less dominate dogs!)
👧 Great with kids
🛋️ Cuddly and affectionate
🚽 Potty trained
🌆 Thriving in a high-rise apartment!

Friggy is dog-friendly, but like many Frenchies, she won’t back down if another dog challenges her. So she’s best matched with less dominate dogs—or even a cat!🐱

She’s the queen of the little dog park in her complex, and charms everyone she meets. This girl has overcome so much, and now she’s healthy, happy, and ready for the next chapter of her life 💖

🩺 Her only medical needs are allergies (watch her food & treats). We are working on additional allergy work up with our vets currently. She also has a pretty serious tail pocket that needs regular cleaning—typical for some bulldogs.

✨ Friggy is READY. She just needs the right person to say, “You’re mine.”

💸 Her adoption fee is $650.
🧡 We provide all supplies and vetting for foster homes.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying.

📲 Apply to foster or adopt via the linktree in our bio or at http://www.retiredtorescue.org

Let’s find Friggy her forever… before she’s left without a place to land.

🚨 TWO LIVES SAVED 🚨
Last night, we walked into the overcrowded Las Vegas shelter—kennels lining the hallways, dogs in pop-up crates—and we left with two souls who were out of time. These girls were at risk of euthanasia. But they’re safe now. They’re ours now. 💔🐾

🐶 First up: Itsy Bitsy
A tiny 15lb Frenchie found alone in someone’s backyard. When picked up, she nipped—just a scared, confused baby—and was quarantined at the shelter. But she improved, and since leaving, she’s been nothing but sweet, gentle, and curious. 🥹
Still a little nervous, but not once has she shown anything but quiet kindness. She’s dog-friendly, googly-eyed, and honestly… just adorable. She’ll see our vet this week for a full checkup and spay. 💕

🍏 Next, please meet Apple.
A quiet, broken little soul who’s survived far more than she should have.

Apple is an English Bulldog who weighs just 17 pounds. Skin and bones. Her nails are overgrown, her belly is urine-stained, her breath is foul—a starving body failing itself. She has hair loss, swollen lymph nodes, and a deep sadness in her eyes. But also… hope. 🥹

She was listed as “fearful” and put on meds for distress—but the moment we got her out, she melted into us. 🍎 She is so still, so soft, so heartbreakingly perfect.

We are so grateful we got to her in time. But we can’t help her without you. 🙏
She’s now on high-quality food with small meals throughout the day. Today she’ll get bloodwork, and once stronger, she’ll be spayed and have her cherry eye repaired. She will absolutely need a foster home to heal.

💸 Donate (link in bio)
🏡 Foster (Vegas area only)
📢 Share this post—help their story reach someone who can help.

🧡 Itsy and Apple are safe. But so many are still waiting.

🐷💗 FOSTER NEEDED for PIGLET 💗🐷⁣
⁣
Say hello to one of the most incredible little ladies we’ve ever had the honor of saving — meet Piglet 🖤✨⁣
⁣
This tiny, dark-skinned, hairless Frenchie was surrendered by a breeder shortly after we took in Nakey Minaj- same breeder. While they might be sisters in spirit, Piglet is pint sized and maybe just a little sweeter 🥹💞⁣
⁣
She’s learning what love feels like — and she loves love. 💕 When you’re paying attention to her, she lights up with joy, but when you’re busy, she’s just as happy to curl up quietly beside you. 🛋️💤⁣
⁣
🌞 She does need some special skin care: weekly (or bi-weekly) baths, gentle moisturizing, sunscreen if she’s outdoors, and comfy clothes to protect her delicate skin.⁣
👁️ She is blind in one eye, but it doesn’t cause her pain — we’re managing it with drops and meds twice a day.⁣
🍲 Piglet has very few teeth, so she eats soft food like a dainty queen.⁣
🚽 Potty trained outside but uses a pad if she can’t get out.⁣
🐾 She’s great with other dogs, cats, kids… basically everyone.⁣
🧸 Just calm, sweet, and easy to love.⁣
⁣
Piglet still needs to be spayed, so we’re looking for a foster (or foster-to-adopt!) in the Las Vegas or surrounding areas who can keep her safe, comfy, and showered in love until then.⁣
⁣
We provide all supplies and cover all medical — you provide the 💕 and consistency.⁣
⁣
📍Interested in fostering or fostering-to-adopt Piglet? Fill out an app at the link in our bio or visit: http://www.retiredtorescue.org⁣
⁣
‼️Please make sure everyone in your home is on board before applying‼️⁣
⁣
Let’s find this little magical creature the home she deserves 🌈🫶 Please share!⁣
