Our mission as a small foster based rescue is to save dogs from dire situations (such as kill shelters, at risk of euthanasia) and give them hope.

We especially love to save special needs dogs that need an extra paw up.

Transport covered! Thank you Sarah.

Looking for transport help again ❤️. This cutie pie had her amputation 2 weeks ago and is doing amazing with adjusting! She unfortunately has an abscess on her neck (unrelated to her amputation) that’s opened three times in the last month that needs to be explored under sedation again. We are also taking hip X-rays of her at the same time so we can prepare any future adopters for the extent of her mobility issues in the future.

Pop tart is scheduled to go to Corvallis this Wednesday for her procedure at the RAD pet clinic. I am waking up at 5am to drop her cute butt off by 7am but she will need to be picked up at 3pm in Corvallis and driven back to Otis to her foster. I’m trying to avoid 2 trips to Corvallis in a day if I have someone willing to help! We will supply gas money for her transport as well. 🐶🌸

In a trial home 🌸🌸. Yay!

Miss Wiggles was spayed this week and is looking for her forever family to join. 🤩We originally thought she was mostly a husky mix but she is staying fairly small still at 3.5 months old so she may possible be breeds such as basenji or cattledog type. Our best guess is she’ll be around 30lbs full grown. What breeds do you see in her?

The vet staff and volunteers loved getting to meet her since she’s so social and playful! She has a variety of animals at her foster she plays with and especially loves wrestling with other dogs. Wiggles would make a great active dog for running, hikes, or someone with another dog to play with. Please apply on figzdogrescue.org if you want to meet this cutie.

Transport covered! Thank you everyone for helping save lives ❤️

Is anyone able to help us with picking up this cutie pie from transport tomorrow morning in Salem and driving her back to Lincoln City area? She is the one that’s black and white with the big dot on her back. She’s coming from a kill shelter and deserves a chance to find a wonderful home in Oregon 🥰.

She is 6 months old and 15lbs of unknown breeds (maybe rat terrier/Jack Russell?). If you can transport please reach out and we can chat more! She also needs a name if anyone has suggestions.

Foster found but we do need transport help still.

In a trial home 🌸🌸. Yay!

Meet Wiggles 🐶❤️. This adorable 3 month old puppy is looking for an active home as she has some ENERGY to burn! She loves playing with the dogs in her foster home and can wrestle for hours. We are unsure of her breed but are guessing husky/cattledog mix due to her looks and energy. Wiggles is a social butterfly with people and thinks everyone is her best friend.

Wiggles is learning not to chase cats (since it’s so much fun 😆) but has not shown any aggression towards them. She would benefit from puppy classes and continued training due to her age. Wiggles does have an appointment to be spayed next week and will come vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. If you think you can keep up with this girl then please apply on figzdogrescue.org.

Meet miss Pop-tart 🍬. This sweet lady was on the euthanasia list due to her deformed front leg. You can see how much joy and spirit she has which means we had to scoop her up for rescue!

We consulted a few vets and the recommendation is to remove the deformed front leg for her long term comfort. Amputation is a last resort but in her case we have to make that call since her leg is already starting to ulcerate from walking on it. As she grows that ulceration will become worse and will become life threatening. We need to give this girl every chance at having a pain free, full life.

It has been an extremely tough week saying goodbye to our last rescue boy Mowgli. He had such a hard past and struggled immensely at the end. My heart will never forget him or his presence. We can never replace him but we want to keep his spirit alive by rescuing this girl in his honor. His donated items have been passed forward to this girl and all future dogs saved from euthanasia. ❤️💔

We have heartbreaking news to share. Mr mowgli had a sudden turn of events the last few days and we had to make the gut wrenching decision to end his suffering. These photos were from before he started showing neurological signs and I want to remember him for his sweet nature here. He was recovering so well from his demodex mange and we had cleared his parasites he came with. He also was making huge strides in learning to trust us and we spent a lot of time with him.

Unfortunately with his neuro signs he developed severe, unpredictable aggression that made it impossible to handle him. He was negative for any common conditions we could test for safely that may have triggered this. It was likely congenital or delayed trauma induced but we will never know for sure what took our boy down. We had our vet make a home visit yesterday and agreed that it wasn’t fair to keep him suffering. Thank you to all who have supported and followed Mowgli’s journey and we are devastated to share this news

We brought in a very special rescue last week named Mowgli. He has lived his entire life on the streets and was finally caught a few weeks ago. Mowgli was then placed in a kill shelter where he was absolutely terrified on a cold cement floor. Luckily we saw his post for help on Mell’s page and were able to get him here for continued medical/emotional care.

Mowgli has been diagnosed with demodex mange on his skin and coccidia/tapeworm parasites in his stool. We began treatment and are also focusing on earning his trust. He has already shown so much progress for never knowing human love in the past. We are giving him space to decompress with small intervals of positive reinforcement via hand feeding. I wanted to yell with excitement when he finally took food from my hands and even started to lick my fingers. It’ll be a long road for mowgli of rehabilitation but he’s got a wonderful heart. I have added an Amazon wishlist for him in the comments if anyone would like to send him care items to help him. As always thank you for supporting us! **update you all have bought up Mowgli’s entire wish list 🥲❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much! I’ll update with pictures of him in the future happier and healthier because of it!

Also huge thanks to Mell for fostering him for a week and neutering him before he got here. Also to Roadies & Rescues and Rebecca for transporting him to us. ❤️. It takes a village!

FOSTER NEEDED ❤️❤️

Our goofy boy Tim is looking for a foster for approximately 3 weeks starting May 11th. He’s been with his current foster for 3 months keeping her completely entertained with his big personality. His foster is out of town from May 11-31st so we will need someone to step up and help watch the big boy.

Tim is a 1-2 year old shepherd mix who came to us after an amputation from a broken leg. He loves attention from every person he’s met and has never met a stranger. He does best with female dogs and has been okay with cats that don’t run but will chase cats that run from him. He is kennel trained and potty trained. We would take him in ourselves but we currently have a medical case dog and a feral pup we are rehabbing.

If anyone has the space and time we would greatly appreciate the help! He really is a great dog with a lot of personality. Tim has been waiting over 3 months to find his forever home 😞.

Sweet Kai got her amputation done 3 days ago and is starting to feel a lot better today. She still has a few weeks of recovery but is in great spirits and is happy to have so much attention 🥰. It’s always sad to see a pup go through such a big surgery but we are so happy she won’t be in pain with that broken leg anymore.

All our other tripod rescues came to us with the amputation already done so she’s our first one we’ve had to decide to do. Luckily our other dogs with broken legs came to us early enough to heal with splints. Kai’s leg break but so severe and old that this was her best chance at comfort. We sure love this dog ❤️.

Welcome our new rescue girl in! Kai is a 6 month old pup with a severely broken leg. She was 30 minutes from euthanasia in Fresno when we were able to step in and make a plan to get her here. Thankful for the foster in Fresno that helped watch her until she could make the journey to us.

We are amazed by how resilient and absolutely sweet she is! Kai loves dogs, cats, kids, and every person she’s met. Unfortunately due to the location of the break and the length of time it was left unattended (almost a month) she will need an amputation done. We were hopeful we could try to save the leg but don’t want her in pain for all of her days. Kai will receive her amputation tomorrow and will be available for adoption 2 weeks after that. She met a potential adopter already by chance yesterday so fingers crossed she already has her forever home. ❤️

Kai will be receiving her amputation by the nonprofit spay/neuter truck I work on to keep costs down. We have an amazing vet and team with a huge heart Northwest Spay & Neuter. If anyone would like to donate to her vet care our Venmo is located on our website figzdogrescue.org under the donate button. 🐶🫶
