Who remembers this perfect girl? 🐾 She was one of four Malinois puppies we pulled from some pretty horrific conditions.

And now? Just look at her — healthy, confident, and sitting tall like the queen she is 🥹. She’s blossomed with our trainers, left her past in the dust, and is stepping boldly into the bright future she deserves. 💛

Seriously… how gorgeous is she?!

Adoption celebration: Missy’s off to live her best life! 🐾🎉

Missy’s journey has been nothing short of incredible. After being hit by a car and then bravely living on her own in the forest, this perfect little survivor showed us all what resilience truly means. If you ever met Missy, you’d see she never dwells on her past — she’s all about living in the moment, full of love and joy.

Now, Missy is off to start her forever life, filled with endless playtime, cozy sofa snuggles, and a brand-new doggy best friend by her side. We couldn’t be happier for her and her amazing new family!

Here’s to you, Missy — a true fighter and an endless source of inspiration (and fun!). 💖🐶✨

This is Judith. And the way she sits tells you everything you need to know.

Judith came from a hoarding case, where she spent her entire life confined to a tiny cage. She was used for breeding—never walked, never allowed to run or play, never treated like a member of the family. Her fur was so matted and caked with filth it had to be shaved to the skin. But the real damage goes far deeper.

Because she was caged for so long without the ability to move freely, her muscles wasted away. Her legs are weak and unsteady, and you can see it in the way she sits—awkwardly, like her body just isn’t sure how to hold itself up anymore. It’s the result of a life with poor nutrition, no exercise, no comfort, and no care.

We’re sharing Judith’s story not to shock or shame, but to educate.

Because behind every puppy from an unethical breeder, there’s often a mother like Judith—neglected, broken, and forgotten.

So please, adopt from a reputable rescue. And if you choose to go to a breeder, do your homework and choose an ethical one.

🚩 If you can’t see where the puppy’s parents live, that’s a red flag.
🚩 If there’s no health testing, health history or vet care, walk away.
🚩 Parking lot puppies? Don’t do it.

Judith’s story could’ve ended in that cage. But it didn’t—because someone cared enough to help her start again.

Let’s make sure she’s not the exception.

Adopt when you can. And if you buy, do it responsibly. Judith deserves that. Every dog does.

(And just an FYI, thanks to the army of folks that rescued her, got her to safety and cared for her before she came to us, Judith has already improved dramatically. With continued high quality nutrition and exercise, she will fully recover. And the best part is, she already has a new family who will continue spoiling her silly so she can leave her past firmly where it belongs 🎉)

🎉 Calling All Helping Hands! 🐾

We're looking for a few extra volunteers this Thursday, August 7th from 12–4pm to help us get the barn ready for our biggest event of the year — Raise the Woof! 🐶🎶✨

We'll be cleaning, tidying up, setting up tables, and making the space shine — and yes, snacks will be provided because we love you like that. 💁‍♀️🍪

Can’t make it Thursday? No worries! We'd also love help during the actual event on August 16th — and trust us, it’s going to be SO much fun! Great people, good vibes, and a whole lot of dog-loving energy.

Plus, event volunteers score a limited edition Rise Rescue Alliance shirt (they're awesome 👕🔥) and dinner at the event. Come for the cause, stay for the party.

If you’re in, email [email protected] or send us a DM. Let’s Raise the Woof together! 🐾💪

🎉 Help us give a huge welcome to our newest arrivals, Millie and Judith! 🐾💕

Millie is a sassy little Chihuahua mix with a big personality in a tiny package, and Judith is a sweet, curly-haired Mini Poodle mix who’s basically made of sugar and sunshine. These two lovely ladies came to us from a local rescue who needed a little backup, and we were more than happy to step in.

While we won’t go into their pasts (let’s just say they’ve been through more than their fair share), what matters most is how beautifully they’re blooming now. 🌸 Both girls are adjusting like champs—tails wagging, hearts opening, and trust growing by the minute.

We’re already smitten. ❤️ Welcome to the RISE fam, Millie and Judith! You’re safe, you’re loved, and you’ve got a whole family cheering you on.

Stay tuned—we have a feeling these two are going to steal a lot of hearts. 🐶🐶

🎉 CAMRYN GOT ADOPTED!! 🐾💥

Cue the happy dancing — our girl Camryn has found her forever fam!! 🥹💛

Watching her meet them for the first time was pure magic. They played together in the yard like they’d known each other forever — zoomies, giggles, tail wags, and ALL the good vibes. We could see it right away: these were her people.

Now she’s off to live the good life — full of cuddles, adventures, and probably some well-deserved spoiling. We’re so, so happy for you, Camryn. You hit the jackpot. 🐶✨

Help us celebrate this sweet girl's new beginning! 🎊

Did you know? Working breeds like Belgian Malinois are landing in shelters at an alarming rate. These dogs are bred for purpose—but when that purpose is missing, they often spiral. Most shelters and rescues simply don’t have the resources or experience to help them.

At Rise Rescue Alliance, we’re changing that.

We’re one of the only rescues in the area with extensive working dog experience, and right now we have 7 in our care. These aren’t “problem dogs”—they’re dogs with untapped potential. Dogs that struggle more than most in a traditional shelter environment.

In these photos, one of our volunteers is learning how to work with them as she begins her journey into Search and Rescue—proving that rescue dogs can have jobs, and humans can be part of the solution.

In the future, we plan to launch a working dog-specific training program—a place where humans can learn how to train and channel these dogs’ energy, and rescue dogs get the purpose and partnership they were born for.

Because these dogs don’t need saving—they need someone who sees what they’re capable of.
