Hello, fellow dog lovers!
I need some help. I’m the co-founder of Nothing But Love Canine Foundation and we are in the running for $25k.
Our mission is to help rescues get dogs out of the shelter by sponsoring spay/neutering. We have spayed and neutered 183 dogs since we starting over a year ago.
Would you vote for us and share to help us win? The link is attached and our page is pinned at the top! We are in 1st but don’t want to give up our lead!
Help us help the dogs.

Good morning, just thought of sharing this here in hopes to find anew home and/or financial support for Melanie.
**UPDATE** We just got back from vet. Started Apoquel for skin. Future health plan is small senior blood panel, x-rays for lameness/pain in rear right leg, and dental. Estimate @ $425... Let's keep the love coming!!!***
I recently acquired an unexpected rescue as her daddy died and her mean "step-mom" was going to have her PTS. I am having health issues and am in need of gall bladder surgery and have no health insurance. Miss Anna is old and her health has been ignored for years as her dad was not healthy enough to care for her properly! Please help me help this sweet girl! She has her first vet appointment on Feb. 23 and I'll have better diagnostics and a health plan but I can say as a former vet assistant and full time vet tech student that her vet care is going to be up there, but hey, It's all about the dogs.... JUST A COUPLE $$ A PERSON COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE OR DEATH FOR THIS SWEET OLD GIRL gf.me/u/zjagtk
** I am not looking to rehome her. We just need help getting her healthy so we can keep her healthy. We are going to foster her until her last day. It was a promise I made to her dad when he used his last breaths to ask me to take care of her. I've groomed her her entire life so she is happy with me.***
Sam had a great 1st day!!
Iris joined our family on July 8, 2020. She and her brother, Charlie, are having a great time. Thanks to her foster parents, Anne and Gary, who took such great care of her, as well as everyone else from RDR who played a role in getting her here from NC.
Do you still sell Hound District shirts? I bought one a few years ago, and I’d like to replace it if you do.
Somehow in my decision making for what to feed my dog Roger, I bought a giant bag of Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach. I ended up keeping Roger on Hill's Sensitive Skin and Stomach and the pet food store won't take returns during corona. The bag is unopened, and I don't want it to go to waste. If anyone wants it for rescue or otherwise, please let me know. I live in Reston.

I have a beautiful 7year old male foxhound that I'm trying to rehome. He's currently in WV on a farm and about to be put in the shelter by the person that I rehomed him to last month. He is a typical hound, sniffs and chases stuff. But he keeps breaking out of the yard to hunt in the woods. I love him but he and my husband don't get along so I can't bring him here to VA. He loves woman and is a worry wart around me; always checking on me and following me from room to room (at my home in WV). He loves car rides, McD treats, bedtime at 9, and walks. Please help me find this brave boy a good home. 703-728-3260. I am teaching online and can't leave VA for a couple more weeks bc I need Internet. Thank you so much for considering him.

Pup Update!
I adopted Tucker (John) two years ago this month and couldn't be happier! He is sweet and goofy and full of love. Still an excited puppy even though he's 4 now. Just wanted to say thanks for all that you do and I hope more underdogs find their forever homes!
Sharing info this is not my post. These dogs are on borrowed time and need a home. See the link below
