🐾❤️ HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! ❤️🐾

Today we’re celebrating a few of the many faces that remind us every single day why we do what we do.

Some came to us scared. Some came sick. Some were abandoned, neglected, unwanted, or simply never given the chance they deserved.

But look at those faces now. 🥹❤️

Behind every one of them is a story. A foster who opened their home. A volunteer who showed up. A donor who helped pay a vet bill. A transporter who drove the miles. An adopter who said, “You’re coming home with me.” And an entire community that helped us keep going.

National Dog Day may only be one day on the calendar, but around here… every day is dog day. 😂🐶

Today we celebrate the goofy ones, the naughty ones, the seniors, the puppies, the medical cases, the scared ones learning how to trust, and every beautiful little mutt in between. ❤️

To every dog we’ve had the privilege of loving along the way—and every person who helped us give them their second chance:

Happy National Dog Day from One Mutt at a Time Rescue Foundation! 🐾

Rescue. Foster. Adopt. Repeat. ❤️

🐾 BEN NEEDS A VERY SPECIFIC KIND OF CRAZY. 😂❤️

Ben came to us almost 2 years ago after his owner of 9½ years dropped him at one of our adoption events because she was leaving the country and didn’t want to buy him a plane ticket. 😑

Since then, we’ve tried.

And Ben has had… opinions. 😂

The sweet senior couples LOVE him. Ben, however, is apparently not interested in retirement.

Too much energy.
Too much barking.
WAY too obsessed with his ball. 🎾😂

Then came another home. One month later, Ben was returned for allegedly biting — and came back sick, pooping blood, stressed and acting like a completely different dog.

And every one of those homes had something in common:

Ben was the only dog.

Meanwhile at our house? He lives with a whole pack, gets tons of attention, has structure, activity, dogs to follow around and plenty going on.

And he THRIVES. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Apparently Ben wasn’t “too much.”

He was just submitting formal complaints about our matchmaking skills. 💀

So we finally got the memo.

Ben wants DOG FRIENDS.
Ben wants activity.
Ben wants someone who appreciates his barking commentary.
And obviously, Ben requires his emotional-support ball. 🎾

He may be a senior, but he is NOT applying for retirement. 😂

We’ve turned down plenty of applicants waiting for the home that actually fits HIM.

Somewhere out there is Ben’s kind of crazy.

And when we find them, we have a feeling he’s finally going to say:

“Yep. These are my people.” ❤️🐾

Remember Rory? 🥹❤️ One of our Ridglan beagles whose liver values put his neuter on hold.

Last week, Rory had his six-week recheck… and we got the news we have been waiting for:

His bloodwork is completely NORMAL! 🎉

Our sweet, healthy boy has come SO far.

When Rory arrived, he was just 12 pounds and incredibly fragile. His little body had been through so much, and when his bloodwork showed liver damage, we knew we needed to slow everything down and give him time to heal.

And heal he did. ❤️‍🩹

Today, Rory is 22 pounds, bright-eyed, strolling around with his friend Bonnie, and finally getting to enjoy the life he was always meant to have.

And now that his recovery has officially been confirmed, we can finally take the next step.

🦷 Rory’s dental and neuter are scheduled for September 3rd!

His procedure is expected to cost approximately $1,500, and we would LOVE some help getting our boy across this final medical finish line. ❤️

If you’ve followed Rory’s journey from the beginning, you know just how huge this moment is. From a frail 12-pound research beagle whose body needed time to recover… to a healthy 22-pound boy who is finally cleared for surgery.

Every donation — $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can spare — gets Rory a little closer to being fully vetted and ready for the next chapter of his life.

🐾 Help us raise $1,500 for Rory’s neuter + dental!

We couldn’t be prouder of you, Rory.

You fought your way back to health. Now we just have one more big step to go.

Here’s to the bright chapter ahead, sweet boy. ❤️🐶.

Pupdate: ADOPTED ‼️🎉
Meet Rue 🐕
A two-year-old Belgian Malinois dumped in Gavilan Hills. Our friend is the good Samaritan who found her and tried to help, but Rue's energy and drive were more than she could safely contain.

Rue was taken to the shelter on July 16th. We all kept checking on her status and we were soo thrilled to see she had been adopted and that felt like a win, but during her spay appointment, the adopter never came back for her. 💔
Rue is now back at the shelter, and heartbreakingly, she is now euthanasia listed. 💔💔

Rue has been let down by humans at every turn. First abandoned in the middle of nowhere, then lost her adoption through no fault of her own. 💔
She’s intense, smart, athletic, a true Malinois. Which means she needs a tall fenced structure, routine, exercise, purpose, and an experienced handler. But she does not deserve to die.
She needs someone who understands dogs like Rue, someone who sees potential where others see too much.

If you can foster, adopt, rescue pull, or even just share her story, please do. Her life is literally on the line.

This is a courtesy post to try to help Rue. We were contacted when she was found and we do not have space at this time.

I am a spayed female, 54.20 lbs, tan Belgian Malinois....

We voted! Of course we voted for you Big Dog Ranch for helping us secure our beagle babies 🫶🏼
now that we have worked directly with Big Dog, we are even more impressed with them and they are sooooo deserving of this!
There are so many great rescues on this list this year, but we are going with our beagle babies crew ‼️
