Can you help us with another miracle?

Mama Ruby & her puppies ❤️‍🩹

Ruby and her little family are the LAST dogs left on the property where Bunny & Frankie came from. After taking Frankie yesterday, we just couldn’t leave Ruby and her babies behind.

Ruby gave birth under the abandoned house on November 3rd, which makes the pups 5 weeks old today, and she’s done an incredible job keeping them safe.

For weeks, she kept her puppies hidden in the dirt and darkness while volunteers tried to bring them food and comfort. About two weeks ago, the pups were moved to an outdoor pen with a doghouse and heat lamp. Frankie even wandered in to say hi (maybe he’s dad… who knows 😅). Volunteers were able to handle the puppies in the pen, but Ruby would hide under the house until it felt safe again. She’s not mean—just scared, undersocialized, and used to surviving outside. This isn’t her first litter 💔

Just a few hours ago, Ruby was humanely trapped and the puppies were crated. They’re spending the night together and tomorrow morning they’ll make their way to us. 🥹

We’ll start by keeping them all together in a kennel and getting a feel for Ruby, but she will absolutely make more progress in a home. She may not think she’s ready for indoor life—but hey, Frankie surprised us, and she might too. 🤍

We’re looking for a foster for this sweet little family. The puppies can leave mom in about 3 weeks.
Do you have experience with scared dogs? Or just patience, a secure yard, and a big heart?

If so, please reach out. We’d love to get them settled somewhere safe.

Frankie & Amelia are HERE! ❤️🥰❤️

We are over the moon to finally share these pictures with you. Frankie is the sweetest, big, stinky lovebug who deserves so much better than the cards he’s been dealt.

He’s crusty, scaly, ye**ty, smelly, and truly cannot stop scratching. He even dragged himself across rocks just to itch his chest 💔 We gave him what was probably the first real bath he’s had in years, and the suds literally turned yellow and green from everything coming off of him 🤢 We did our very best to help him feel some relief—and judging by how he’s sleeping now, we think it worked ❤️

Frankie has a long list of medical needs: severe skin issues, ear infections, eye infections, entropion/cherry eye, a neuter, eye surgery, broken teeth, and we’re fully expecting a positive heartworm test. But we will fix it all. This boy will get every bit of care he needs to be healthy and happy again.

Guess what? He has GORGEOUS blue eyes 🩵

Now let’s talk about Amelia. She is the tiniest, cutest, most playful little girl—and we absolutely ADORE her. Watching her lay in front of the Christmas tree tonight, we couldn’t help but think her holiday wish is simply for a home. Don’t worry, she will be ready soon ❤️

Who wants to spoil this boy? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Feel free to add things that you love! • https://tinyurl.com/SpoilFrankie

The biggest THANK YOU to the brand new foster moms, Mariryan & Heather, and our long time fosters Erin & Shane for taking both of these dogs into your amazing homes. You guys made this possible! 🙌🏼 🥳

Update on Frankie! ❤️

✅ Foster home found! 🥳🥳🥳
✅ He’s headed here TOMORROW!

At this time tomorrow night, he will be warm inside a home. We just can’t wait. Who wants to help spoil him? 🥰

We also have a second request: Amelia — a sweet friend of Frankie & Bunny — would love to hitch a ride with Frankie and hopefully land herself a foster home. She’s already spayed (huge bonus!), but she does have a little limp that we need to get checked out.

Amelia absolutely adores other dogs and will need a doggie friend in her foster home. She’s only 31lbs — truly tiny! She also needs a fenced yard and a home without young kids who might accidentally let her slip out.

Any takers for Amelia? ❤️

Don’t forget, we’ll be at the officebar_srq from 2-5pm TOMORROW with adoptable dogs! 🐕

Update on Frankie ❤️‍🩹 This was the first time they’ve taken him out on a leash since catching him yesterday. He’s about as slow as a turtle and so gentle 🥹 Look how sweet he is eating out of her hand. We love him and really want to help him. We just need a foster home! www.love4pawsfl.org/foster

We need an angel.

Frankie is an old friend of Bunny’s 🥹 He’s at the same property that she came from. There were 10-13 dogs left behind when the person passed away and they’ve lived as a friendly pack with rescuers feeding them the last few months. One by one, just like Bunny, they’ve all gone to rescues… except Frankie and one mama dog.

Frankie has roamed the area for about a year. He is crusty, stinky, itchy, slow moving and has eyes that look like he can’t see much right now. He has cherry eye and very gross eye infections, so people in the town call him “demon dog” because of how he looks 😔💔Yet he never does anything wrong to anyone. He has nothing, but he’s so grateful for a dog house and food.

Yesterday, sweet Frankie was finally trapped and put in an outdoor kennel. He’s been nothing but sweet and tolerant. He allows pets, lets them look at his teeth and he eats out of their hands. We have a feeling that he was once loved and didn’t look like this ❤️‍🩹

We desperately want to help Frankie and get him into a vet immediately. He deserves relief, a bath and a huge cozy bed - can you imagine how good that would feel? We just need a committed foster home.

Anyone have a soft spot for the underdog? Want to give him a spot in your home to sleep? He’s about 60lbs, dog friendly and has always been around other dogs. A home without kids would be best until we know him better though.

Ideally, we would like someone within an hour of Tampa or Sarasota and with a fenced yard. But if you’re just a smidge further and interested, please let us know 🙏🏼

PLEASE help us help this boy and share this post. We can’t think of anyone more in need of a miracle than him 😭 Videos in the comments.

Georgiana needs a foster home ❤️

This sweet girl is one of 6 dogs that we rescued from a breeder about 10 days ago. One of our awesome fosters jumped in to help her over Thanksgiving, but now she needs a more permanent place to land.

She is a 45-50lb red Goldendoodle who was shaved down due to matting. She needs another similar size dog for companionship, a 6ft fenced yard and no kids since she’s nervous and they leave doors open.

She LOVES dogs and is a great companion to any dog she’s with. She will follow them everywhere 🥰

If you are within an hour of Tampa or Sarasota and can let her stay with you until she’s adopted or as a foster-to-adopt if you’re thinking of adopting, please let us know and complete the application below.
