Thought we’d get one day of rest after a big 9 dog transport? Us too! But we thought wrong 🙃

Today Belle and Bugatti, 2 year old Australian Shepherds, headed to us on an emergency transport after other rescuers realized just how dire the situation was. They spent all winter living in a horse trailer with no heat, and it’s hard to tell through their thick unbrushed coats, but they are emaciated. We got word that Belle was lethargic before transport but we think she was just stressed out, both are currently stable and we’ll be working to get their weight back up.

These dogs needed to get to safety TODAY and thankfully we had two new fosters step up to take them. They submitted their applications, we got them approved immediately, and they’re already set up waiting to receive their pups tomorrow after they get a much needed bath. It’s that quick and easy!

We have a waitlist of dogs that need help. We do have to prioritize situations like this over owner surrender requests right now, however we wouldn’t have to if more fosters would step up and open up their homes. Please open up the discussion with us if you’re interested in fostering a dog… most people tell us they didn’t realize it would be so easy!

If you’re able to donate to Belle and Bugatti’s vet care please visit the link(s) below. They will both need lots of food, vaccines, bloodwork, and spay/neuter once healthy 🐶🩵

🚨FOSTERS NEEDED ASAP!!!!🚨

We are desperate for fosters to save at least some if not all of these Australian Shepherds. They will need a little bit of TLC but they are said to be SUPER sweet! They are smalller, 25-30lbs (likely mini’s)

2 Blue Merle females (2 years and 5 years - 5 year old is the most urgent), 1 Blue Merle male 2 years, 1 Black Tri male 2 years (fearful of men)

PLEASE reach out if you can help or if you have any questions! They can be fostered in pairs or alone. The rescue will provide everything - all supplies, food, vet care. You just give them the loving home they deserve 🩷

Such an exciting day!!! Our Texas dogs are finally here and settling into their foster homes 🥰

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored a dog (sponsors will be tagged under individual photos!) as well as San Antonio Pets Alive for setting this all up and handling the dogs care in TX, and Dog Is My CoPilot, Inc. for flying them all the way to NY!

We can’t wait to watch these pups blossom and help them find their forever homes 😍

Our flight for our TX dogs has been rescheduled to tomorrow so today we wanted to introduce you to Hazel instead!

Hazel is a 10 month old female Australian Cattle Dog weighing around 40lbs who came to us after being passed around in Facebook rehoming groups a few times. She was VERY misunderstood, labeled as a “mean” dog when in reality she was just an overwhelmed, under-stimulated “teenager” lacking guidance who landed with someone who had zero understanding of this incredible breed that we love dearly.

She sees our vet on the 1st and then will be seeking a breed experienced home, preferably one with a job. She is crate trained, seems to be potty trained when on a routine, does well with other herding type dogs but does have some barrier frustration. She is excited when on a leash but working on it, and we will cat test her if need be.

If you’re interested in adopting Hazel please complete an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt
Adopters must be local enough to get her to her spay appointment in Hamburg, NY.

*Please keep in mind that it is time consuming for our volunteers to process applications. We ask that you are sure you are ready to welcome a dog into your home and are seriously interested in adopting BEFORE applying.*

The need for help with dogs from all over truly never ends. Today we welcomed in two 8 week old puppies from our friends at the Pike County shelter in Ohio. Say hello to Salwa (meaning solace) and Saleem (meaning safe) 💞

These group transports never cease to amaze me. Today we had 4 rescues, 6 drivers, one very dedicated transport coordinator, and a loving “shelter mom” all work together to get a total of 9 puppies to safety. We can’t thank everyone enough who was involved!

As usual, these puppies are not yet available for adoption and are on a 2 week health hold before they can leave foster care, however you’re welcome to submit an application and we will look them over when the time comes ☺️

Imagine having to tell these sweet little babies that NOBODY wants them… it’s not easy! 😭

Nova and Indy have not received a single adoption application, not even an inquiry… their brother Crew settled into his new home wonderfully, he’s catching on to crate and potty training already and his adopters absolutely love him. We promise you’ll feel the same way about these two!

Beagle/Plott Hound mixes, 11 weeks old, currently around 10lbs

💚 Dog and cat friendly
🩵 Working on crate training
💚 P*e pad trained due to vaccination status
🩵 Neuters scheduled for July
💚 Will need 2 more rounds of vaccines after adoption

Please keep in mind we do not adopt out littermates together. Puppies should be socialized with “no paws on the ground” outside of your immediate yard area until fully vaccinated.

Sponsor a pup! We’ve seen other rescues have some luck with this and especially with our recent medical bills, we wanted to give it a try. It would help us out immensely. The following dogs are all coming in on a transport from Texas on March 20th. This has been in the works for a while and we’re so excited for the opportunity to bring them north and help them find their forever homes!

Every new dog we take in requires a crate, food, toys/blankets, collar/leash, a travel crate to replace the one they come in, and of course vetting such as spay/neuter, vaccines, microchips, preventatives, bloodwork for the older dogs, etc. As you can probably imagine, this adds up quickly. So we’re asking for your help in sponsoring one of these dogs for $50! Dogs can have more than one sponsor. We’ll give sponsors a shoutout on their official “freedom ride” post and you’ll know you helped directly contribute towards the rest of forever for them 🩷

Below will be information on all the dogs, in order that their photos are posted. Please make note of which dog you’d like to sponsor either on this post or with your payment ☺️

💙 Bubby, 7+ year old Chihuahua mix brought into the shelter as a euthanasia request after his owner passed (bonded pair w/ Sissy)
🤍 Bud, 10 year old Poodle mix removed from a neglect case. He struggles with some anxiety and joint pain in his hind end that we will assess.
💜 Bunny, 2 year old Chihuahua mix with a fractured femur. We will be discussing her options with our vet when she arrives i.e. orthopedic surgery, amputation, etc.
🧡 Colleen, 10 week old Terrier mix escaping growing up in a shelter.
🩵 Davy, 2 year old double merle Aussie/Border Collie mix who is deaf and visually impaired.
💚 Fred, 2 year old double merle Aussie/Border Collie mix. Considered them a bonded pair for now until we determine whether or not Davy relies on his brother for navigation/comfort.
🤎 Meleys, 4.5 month old Pointer mix who survived Parvo in the shelter.
💛 Sam, 2 year old Chihuahua mix. He is cryptorchid which will result in a more expensive neuter procedure.
❤️ Sissy, 7 year old Chihuahua mix brought into the shelter as a euthanasia request after her owner passed (bonded pair w/ Bubby)
🩷 Zuri, 10 week old Terrier mix making the flight with her sister who’s going to another local rescue.

Yesterday we welcomed 3 sweet little local Chihuahua mix pups into the rescue family - mamma Peanut, and her puppies Lilac and Cedar. Peanut is the sweetest little lady and has taken such good care of her babies, who are now officially weaned so we can put some much needed weight on her. She always makes sure to check in on her little ones but their foster mom keeps reminding them, the milk bar is CLOSED 😂

Peanut has an appointment next week for a checkup and some bloodwork, and the puppies will have their checkup during the next 2 weeks of their health hold as well. We are not processing applications for anyone yet, but they can be submitted and we’ll reach out if they seem like a good fit when they’re ready 🥰

This whole family will be vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and Peanut will have some more extensive bloodwork done due to her body condition. Please visit the links below if you’d like to contribute to their care 💗

Pumba, 9 months old, neutered male, Hound mix, 25-30lbs

Okay, it’s been long enough… ALL 3 of Pumba’s siblings have been adopted and he’s the last one hanging. It’s always the black dogs 🥺
He’s been with us since he was just a 6 week old baby growing up in foster care, and he just lost his most recent foster home at no fault of his own. He’s moved back in with his original foster temporarily, but we need to find him a spot to land by the 20th. We’ve never had to put a dog in boarding before but it’s becoming a very real possibility 😭

🤍 Dog friendly
🖤 Cat friendly/neutral
🤍 Crate trained
🖤 Good with potty training after adjusting to a routine
🤍 Currently has a fenced yard but is fine on a leash
🖤 Very sweet, chill pup who loves to cuddle 💕

Someone please give this sweet boy a chance. An adopter would be great, but even another foster would benefit him greatly! Please fill out an application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt (indicate “foster only” if that is the case)
Long distance adoptions considered within the US only, at the adopters expense.

$305 / $3,000 raised to help with this cost

Rescue is at times so rewarding and fulfilling and full of happiness but it’s also unexpected, and scary, and stressful, and really, really hard. Yesterday and into the early hours of this morning, we had one of those days. It resulted in a $3,000 vet bill but ultimately a safe and recovering dog, which is always our end goal.

A little over 2 weeks ago Annie was surrendered to us with very little info/history. She came in pretty thin and we started her on a good high calorie feeding regimen but about a week in we realized she was not just gaining weight in a normal way. We became suspicious of a possible pregnancy and confirmed this with our vet on Tuesday. We determined that she would likely be due in a little under 3 weeks and scheduled another xray for 2 weeks out, all seemed well.

Yesterday afternoon Annie unfortunately birthed a very premature puppy. We rushed them both to Village Vet, the puppy was sadly far too premature to be saved, but after an assessment of mom and an ultrasound on the babies all showing normal healthy heartbeats, plus the determination that she didn’t seem to be in active labor, the vet thought the odds of trying to save the remaining puppies with little to no risk to Annie were good. We took her home to monitor, but around 1AM she birthed another premature, stillborn puppy.

We brought her this time to Orchard Park Vet and the ultrasound showed that the puppies heart rates were low, indicating they were in distress. We knew then that Annie would not be able to carry her puppies to term and that the safest option for her was an emergency c-section, but that the puppies were sadly too young to be saved 🥺

Annie is now back home recovering from surgery, tired but so far doing well. This is yet another dog we took in expecting it to be a “normal” foster and adoption experience, with very high unexpected vet bills. We’ll do anything to save our dogs, but the more we get like this, the harder it is to commit to helping more.

If you can consider donating to help recoup some of the costs for her vet visits/surgery, please visit the link(s) below to send via PayPal, Venmo, or purchase supplies off our Amazon wishlist. And if you can’t donate, PLEASE encourage people to spay/neuter their pets! Reach out to rescues if they can’t afford it at a regular vet. When questioned, Annie’s owners said she couldn’t be pregnant, they only had girl dogs. But they didn’t consider the dogs in the same apartment building that shared a yard, where she often was outside unattended. If you have unaltered animals, pregnancy is more likely than you’d think.

*We’ve added a few recovery suits as we only have 1 in her size and she doesn’t love wearing a cone. Those would be extremely helpful, along with the Pro Plan High Protein wet food as she eats at least 1 can of that per day.*

Our Beagle mix boys saw the vet today for a check up and officially have a clean bill of health and are out of quarantine! Crew gets to meet his adopters next week but unfortunately Nova (lighter tan brindle) and Indy (brown with black) haven’t gotten a single application 🥺
We had over 60 people apply to adopt our two Shih Tzu mix puppies yesterday. These guys may be a little bigger and a little less fluffy, but we promise they have amazing personalities and soooo much love to give! If you have an application on file for another dog and have not heard from us, please reach out and ask us to process it for one of these sweet boys. You won’t regret it!

Our Shih Tzu mix puppies got a ton of love, let’s see if we can do the same for our Parvo survivors! 💪🏼 These pups fought hard to be here and they deserve just as much attention!

Nova and Indy are 10 week old Beagle/Hound mixes. They are super happy-go-lucky boys who love everyone they meet and should adjust well to any family dynamic. We anticipate them to be medium sized once fully grown, around 30-40lbs.

Last night we were asked to help with a local senior dog whose owner has sadly been struggling with her health and has entered into hospice. Unfortunately with the current state of rescue, sometimes it’s just luck of the draw if we’re able to help a dog when asked. We constantly get surrender requests for mostly large dogs, or dogs who aren’t good with kids/cats/other dogs etc. and we just don’t have foster homes available for them. We already have so many dogs like that, who have been waiting with their current fosters for months or even years to find their forever home.

Thankfully, we had a foster available to take this little guy and were able to welcome Kappo into the rescue family 🩵 His owner now no longer has to worry about her pup at the end of her life, and her family doesn’t have to stress about taking care of him while dealing with the other hardships of losing a loved one. We want to be able to say yes more, and help more dogs… that’s why new fosters stepping up is so important. If you can consider opening up your home and heart to foster a dog, please please complete the adoption application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt and indicate “foster only.” Follow the prompts to help us understand what the ideal dog for your home would look like. Dogs like Kappo need it, and we have a waitlist of dogs we want to say yes to but can’t without your help 🙏🏼

🚨Fosters or foster-to-adopt needed! The pictured dogs we have either tagged, or would like to tag, for transport from a Texas shelter on March 20th. But we can’t save them without your help!

🩷 Meleys (top left) female, 4.5 months old, 12lbs, Parvo survivor 💪🏼
🩵 Liu, Raiden, and Scorpion (middle), males, 8 weeks old, currently only 3-4lbs 😍
💜 Maddy (top right), female, 3.5 months old, cat friendly! 🐱
🧡 Bubby and Sissy (bottom), male and female bonded pair, 7 years old, 20lbs, potty trained ✅

All fosters must be able to take their dog off transport on 3/20. The rescue supplies everything needed! There will be a 2 week health hold after transport before meet and greets begin. Fosters will have the opportunity to adopt their dog after those 2 weeks if they choose, otherwise they will continue to foster until their pups forever family is found. This is a great chance to get a longer than usual “trial period” to make sure you find a dog that’s the perfect fit for your family! 💞

Please complete the adoption application at www.rosebudrescue.com/adopt and indicate “foster only” next to the dog you’re interested in. Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions about fostering. Don’t forget, if these dogs don’t seem like a good fit for you, we can pair you up with a different dog to foster which would open up a space for that foster to help save one of these babies 🥰
