Our website is down!

After having issues with our website, we are making the move to a different web hosting service. Please be patient with us while we get this resolved and build a new website.

This is putting a big strain on our Giving Tuesday campaign as well as our ability to get our adoptable dogs seen. We would appreciate any help with sharing our adoptable dogs and the need for donations!

Our donation link is still active via PayPal and is unaffected, or you can donate directly through Instagram or Facebook. Thank you so much and we are hoping to have our new website up and running by the end of the weekend! 🩵

Giving Tuesday is right around the corner, which means from now until December 2nd, your donations will be matched up to 15k!! Plus, every dollar you give grows our Giving Tree — and unlocks fall fun for the dogs!

🎁 First stop: at $500, the dogs unwrap their first fall surprise- a gift to kick things off! The next prize is unlocked by your donations! 🔓

We have an urgent request!!

Remember Pumpkin? Her adopters have sadly received a devastating diagnosis in their family and Pumpkin needs to find a new home asap. We urgently need a foster or adopter to step up for her!

Pumpkin is a one year old sweetheart who was born with a spinal deformity. She is fully mobile, and she is also incontinent needing bladder and bowel expressions 4x a day (we will work with anyone interested to learn her expression routine and come up with a schedule that works for you both so please don’t let this deter you!) Pumpkin has been loving life as an only dog, but she does like other dogs too!

If you are interested in helping this sweet girl, please send us a message or send an email to [email protected]. We will gladly go over all the specifics of her care with you to make sure it’s a good fit all around! We are so sad for her and her family to have to say goodbye. Please share to help her find a loving home❤️‍🩹

This month we will be introducing each of our team members so you can get to know who is behind the rescue work that happens here.

Meet Dr. Brown!

⭐️I have been working in the veterinary field since I was 15 years old, beginning as an assistant at a local hospital where I spent eight years learning and growing in the profession. From there, I applied to veterinary school and was accepted at Colorado State University, where I completed my four years of training. After graduation, I returned home to Reno and worked at a local hospital for six years.

During that time, I was introduced to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and was inspired to pursue my master’s degree in the field. To continue my studies, I transitioned to another hospital in town that offers holistic care. It was there that I met Marie, her amazing dogs, and her organization, Scoot to the Stars—and I instantly fell in love with all of it.

The opportunities this rescue gives to dogs who might not otherwise have a chance at life are nothing short of inspiring. Each dog is so grateful, sweet, and loving, as if they know the gift they’ve been given. I truly admire what this organization represents, as well as the dedicated people who make it all possible. I am beyond excited and honored to be part of such a remarkable group of animals and humans, all working together to change lives. ⭐️

We are so happy and grateful to have Dr. Brown on our team. She has always been an incredible advocate for our Scoot to the Stars dogs, seeing them for more than their disabilities and going above and beyond to work with us to figure out how to provide the best care and comfort for every dog in our rescue.

What an honor it is, indeed, to work beside this incredible group of people. We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know each of us and our drive behind helping dogs in need! 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

After waiting for over 2 years, we are beyond excited to share that Holly is ADOPTED!!!!

Holly is the most special girl and part of our OG crew. We are going to miss her so much here but we know she is in the best home—and that’s the same home as our lovely little Matilda who has been living her best life with her Mom. We couldn’t think of a better family to welcome Holly into. Happy gotcha day, sweetest girl!! 🩵

This month we will be introducing each of our team members so you can get to know who is behind the rescue work that happens here!

Meet Riley! An animal lover since birth. Her spark for rescue was ignited by her very own rescue pup, Bailey. At just 8 years old Bailey developed Lymphoma and passed just months following her diagnosis after putting up a hard fight. Advocating for Bailey’s diagnosis and stepping up for her more challenging care made Riley realize she had the capacity for more. Knowing most dogs are abandoned in their time of need, Riley and her girlfriend Amy, began looking into fostering, with a special emphasis on disabled or different dogs in 2023. In March 2024, they discovered Scoot to the Stars through PetFinder and immediately knew it was the right fit. Since then, they’ve been proud to be part of the mission, providing love and care to dogs who need it most.

Professionally, Riley is a fitness instructor, sales manager, and marketer, with a passion for building community through fundraising and events. She has led numerous initiatives that bring people together while supporting various important causes. We are so grateful to have her support, kindness, passion, skills, and initiative driving our team and mission forward. 🩵

In their free time, Riley and Amy love spending time outdoors paddle boarding, kayaking, and adventuring with their three rescue dogs —Zooey (14), Zeus (14), Lily (9 months)- and taking their fosters on fun adventures!

As we move closer to our nonprofit birthday, we wanted to take a moment to reshare our purpose and passion with you all🩵

Here at Scoot to the Stars Rescue our mission is rooted in love, hope, and the unshakable belief that disabilities do not define a life and every dog deserves a chance to shine.

🐾 Saving Disabled Dogs: from those who have been injured, neglected, or abused to dogs born with special needs, we rescue and rehabilitate so every pup has the chance to heal, find their forever home, and thrive.

🩵Building a Community: From the start of our journey in caring for disabled dogs we have seen a lack of resources for dogs with mobility challenges and the need for more. We stand beside our adopters, fosters, and families, offering resources and support so no one feels alone caring for their differently-abled dog. We hope to expand that reach even further with our physical therapy program and more.

🌟Changing Perspectives: Every happy, fulfilled dog and life saved is a reminder to the world that dogs with disabilities are not less. They are resilient, whole, and capable of living beautiful, fulfilling lives.

Every dog who joins our rescue and every family that joins our community teaches us something new and further drive home our mission.

Join us in changing the way the world sees disabled dogs, help us change and save lives. Share their stories, follow along, donate and help us help more dogs . We couldn’t do it without you!
