💔 FOSTER NEEDED FOR LOCAL SURRENDER 💔

For 6 years she has only known one home. Through no fault of her own, this beautiful girl is about to lose the home and family she knows. Her owners are moving and, heartbreakingly, cannot take her along. She didn’t ask for any of this, and she certainly doesn’t understand why her family can’t take her with them. 😭

What we know 👉 She is good with kids and other dogs, and is house trained.

She deserves so much more than having her world turned upside down! We just need someone willing to open their home and heart to her, even temporarily. You could be the reason this girl doesn’t have to face an uncertain future alone.

🚨 TEXAS, HERE WE COME! 🚐🐾

We hit the road tomorrow, and we need a little help from our TNT family! ❤️

Today, we took the van in for an oil change and learned it also needs a seal on the transmission replaced before transport, costing an extra $290 — an added expense to an already costly trip.

While on the road, we’ll also help repair outdoor kennel runs at one of our Oklahoma foster homes.

Your donations help cover:
⛽ Fuel for the long haul
🩺 Health certificates so animals can travel safely and legally
🏨 Overnight lodging for our drivers
🚐 Van maintenance and repairs
🔨 Safer outdoor kennel spaces

These costs add up quickly, and our rescue budget is already stretched thin. We know the holidays are approaching and everyone has expenses, so we never take your support for granted.

If you can spare $5, $10, or any amount, it makes a difference. Together, those small donations help carry us thousands of miles and give many animals a fresh start.

🚨‼️URGENT FOSTER NEEDED!!
SLICK NEEDS YOU!‼️🚨

Imagine spending your days alone, with nobody to call your own, nowhere safe to sleep, and every day being another day spent simply trying to survive.

That was Slick’s reality.

This sweet boy was found as a stray in Cleveland, left to fend for himself on the streets. No cozy bed, no loving family, no guarantee of what tomorrow would bring. Just him, navigating the world all alone. 💔

But Slick’s story doesn’t have to end there.

He’s getting his chance to make the journey to Iowa this weekend, and we desperately need someone willing to give him a safe place to land. A soft bed. A full belly. A little patience. And, most importantly, the chance to finally feel what it’s like to be safe and loved. 🏡❤️

WE NEED A FOSTER FOR SLICK ASAP!

Tails In Transit will provide:
🐾 Veterinary care
🐾 Food and supplies
🐾 Guidance and support every step of the way

All Slick needs is someone willing to open their home and give him a chance.

He’s spent enough time surviving on his own. It’s time someone showed him that life can be so much more than that.

Let’s make sure this boy doesn’t have to wonder where he’s sleeping night after night. Let’s get Slick to Iowa on November 8th!! Commit tonight to help him!!

✋🛑 STOP SCROLLING FOR MONTE! 🛑✋

He has been waiting WAY too long for someone to realize just how special he is. Poor Monte has now had TWO potential forever homes fall through, and through it all, he’s still waiting patiently for his person to come along. 🥺

We would LOVE nothing more than to see this sweet boy settled into a home of his own before Christmas. Imagine him spending the holidays snuggled up on his very own couch, surrounded by people to call HIS. That’s what he deserves. ❤️

Monte is the PERFECT combination of “LET’S GO!” and “Can we just cuddle on the couch now?” 😂

🌳 He LOVES running around the yard chasing birds and playing with his foster sisters. (Two female dogs)

🛋️ He is equally happy being a professional couch potato.

💋 He will happily give you ALL the kisses you’re willing to accept.

🏠 He is crate trained, although after a proper decompression period, he really doesn’t need it.

🧸 He doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t… but hand him a stuffie and he will absolutely DESTROY it in 5 minutes or less. That’s the goal, right?! 😂

And guess what?! MONTE HAS PASSED A CAT TEST! 🐱 He was curious, so we’d still recommend a slow, proper introduction to any resident cats.

Monte is still working on some things. He’s learning that sharing toys is a thing and would prefer his own private space when he’s enjoying his toys or eating his dinner. He’s good on a leash, although he can get excited and pull occasionally — something his foster family is working on with him.

And when it comes to making dog friends, Monte likes to take his time. He can be a little particular about the boys he chooses to hang out with, while he is very much a ladies’ man. ❤️

Because of that, Monte’s future family will need to understand that introductions should be slow, intentional and done properly. He doesn’t need someone expecting him to instantly love every dog he meets. He needs someone willing to give him the time to say, “Okay… I think I like you.”

And once Monte decides you’re his person? You’ve got a best friend for life. 🥹❤️

This boy has waited long enough for his happily ever after.

He deserves a family who sees how wonderful he is, embraces his quirks, and gives him the patience and love he’s been waiting for.

👉 OUR GOAL: GET MONTE IN A FOREVER HOME BEFORE CHRISTMAS! 🎄

And remember — MONTE’S ADOPTION FEE HAS ALREADY BEEN SPONSORED! That’s one less thing standing between you and bringing this handsome guy home!

📩 Apply below to adopt Monte. Let’s make sure his next chapter is the one that finally takes him HOME. 🏡 https://form.jotform.com/222645266803053

❤️ RED’S SUNDAY OUT! ❤️

On Sunday, we took Red to visit her friends at Dog Star and had a little fun while supporting another local rescue! 📸 We made a donation to A Purposeful Life Rescue in exchange for some fun photos with this awesome backdrop, and you have another chance to do the same this Thursday!

📅 October 29th | 4–6 PM
Come get your own photo and help support A Purposeful Life Rescue! 🐾

And while Red still has plenty to work on, we are SO proud of how far she’s come. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, and every little win matters. We’re continuing to work with her, build her skills, and celebrate the progress along the way! ❤️

A quick note since you may notice it in her photos: YES, Red is wearing an e-collar. We use it for the beep and vibration functions only, and it has been tremendously helpful in getting her attention back when distractions pull her focus. It’s one of the tools that helps us communicate with her and keep her engaged while we continue working on her training.

Red’s journey is far from over, but we’re proud of this girl and all the progress she’s making. ❤️🐾
