🎉 Use code: ADOPTAPET15
⏰ Offer ends June 8 at midnight.

✨ Coal was supposed to walk down the runway at our 20th Annual Race for the Rescues… but Mother Nature had other plans, and a torrential downpour kept our star pup home.

So today, we’re giving him the spotlight he deserves because this boy is truly something special. 💛🐾
Meet Coal, a 4-year-old pittie mix with a heart as big as his smile. Despite a tough start, he was surrendered by people who were not nice to him. Those days are far behind him. He’s safe now, surrounded by love, and ready for a family who will cherish him forever.

Coal is:
🐾 Housebroken & great on leash
🐾 Smart, playful, curious, and adventurous
🐾 Loving, loyal, and full of personality
🐾 Good with other dogs and did wonderfully with the cats he’s met
🐾 Apartment-friendly with plenty of outside adventures
🐾 A social butterfly who loves meeting new friends

He recently had a small medical episode that volunteers caught right away. He’s doing great and simply takes medication twice a day. It doesn’t slow him down at all. He’s active, happy, and ready for hiking, exploring, and being your everyday sidekick.

Coal holds a piece of the heart of everyone at Animal Relief Fund, and we know his perfect match is out there - someone who will see how extraordinary he truly is.

If that could be you, please reach out.
Let’s give Coal the happy ending he was born for. 💙🐾

Raccoon had her runway moment ready to go at our 20th Annual Race for the Rescues but Mother Nature RSVP’d with a full-blown monsoon. 🌧️
Since she couldn’t walk in the show, we’re giving her the solo spotlight she more
than earned. ✨

Meet Raccoon, a 10-month-old, 56 lb, gorgeous mixed-breed girl with beauty, brains, and the energy of a professional athlete. She’s friendly with most large dogs, high-energy, and happiest when she’s doing things.

If you’ve been dreaming of a hiking buddy, adventure partner, or a future agility star… Raccoon is your girl. 🌲🏃‍♀️💨

This class-president-level overachiever loves to hop and bop with dog friends, but she’d also thrive as the only pup in an active, field-trip-loving home.

10,000 steps a day? Easy.
Learning new skills? Her specialty.
Exploring the world with her future family? She can’t wait.

Raccoon is currently in a loving foster home and ready to meet her forever people.

🎬🐾 RUNWAY RESCUES: The Show Must Go On!

Our Race For The Rescues adoption show may have been washed out by an atmospheric river, but the stars of the lineup are still ready to shine — and find their forever homes.

⭐️First up: SPOKES.
Since he couldn’t zoom down the runway, we’re hoping he’ll zoom straight into your heart.

Rescued and lovingly rehabilitated by race partner Pup Culture Rescue, Spokes is a tiny dachshund with a heart ten times bigger than his little body. He arrived paralyzed, in rough shape, and euthanasia-listed at the shelter. But with dedicated care, he has healed, blossomed, and is now so ready for his happily-ever-after.

Spokes is gentle, friendly with dogs and kids, and full of wiggles. He’s paralyzed and incontinent, but once you’re in a routine, his care becomes simple — and he’s doing amazing in physical therapy, even showing early signs of spinal walking. His therapy will continue to be funded thanks to donations raised for him, even after adoption.

All Spokes wants for the holidays… is a home.
If you’re looking to make a true Christmas miracle happen, he’s your guy.

Let’s help this special little fighter find the family he’s been waiting for. 🐾✨

A huge THANK YOU to Full Moon Pet for sponsoring The Rescue Train’s 20th Annual Race for the Rescues! Rain, shine, or atmospheric river, you helped us keep the focus on saving lives. 🌧️🐾

Your commitment to using 100% human‑grade ingredients - real chicken, rosemary, blueberries, made in small batches in the USA, speaks to the kind of quality we deeply believe in.

We love that Full Moon doesn’t cut corners to preserve nutrition. Just ask our Founder’s Dog Skye who waits for her 5pm Full Moon snackie every day!

On top of that, your generosity runs deep - supporting shelters isn’t just a tagline for you. Full Moon reports giving over 1 million treats to rescues and shelters.

Thank you for helping our rescue community, fueling hope and wellness for the animals who need it most. 💛
