THEIR FIRST PHOTO BECAME THEIR LAST MEMORY💔
This picture should have been the beginning of their story.
Nine blue American Bulldog mix puppies—beautiful, innocent, full of life.
But this photo is all we have left.
Before we could line up fosters, their story ended before it began.
Their first photo became their last.
This is the brutal reality of rescue.
Not because they didn’t deserve love.
Not because they weren’t adoptable.
But because we didn’t have enough foster homes ready to open the door.
And here’s the part people need to understand: this isn’t a “shelter problem.” It’s a community problem.
Every day, people dump dogs at shelters and walk away. And shelters—already bursting—are forced to make impossible choices. Don’t we all wish we could roll up to a building, staffed with people, and dump our problems so we don’t have to deal with them? That’s exactly what’s happening to these dogs. And they pay the price.
Every empty crate… every “maybe next time”… costs lives.
We can’t bring these nine back. But we can fight for the next litter.
And the truth is—they’re already waiting.
Fostering saves lives. It’s that simple.
Please don’t let the next “first picture” be the last.
