Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project
Help Save Abandoned Pets in South Florida
HELP US SAVE THESE DOGS
Why We Need Your Help
We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to saving animals in the Redland Rock Pit area of South Florida.
Redland, Florida is known to many as the agricultural side of South Miami-Dade where residents tour the bordering Everglades for some beautiful wildlife scenery.
For animal lovers, however, it is a very different story. It is known as the “dumping ground” for unwanted pets. The reality is, many individuals drive to a secluded area, open the car door, throw out their unwanted pet and then drive off.
Many of these loyal and loving dogs will run after the car in an attempt to catch their owner’s vehicle until they become exhausted and can’t run any further, leaving them confused, disoriented and lost.
These domesticated house pets are left to fend for themselves. The ones that are not killed by traffic are often poisoned, injured or shot by local workers and residents who feel they don’t belong in their neighborhood. Many starve to death because this is an agricultural area and there are no resources for them to survive.
For many of them that remain on the truckyards and the farms seeking human companionship, their bodies become ravaged by mosquitos, parasites, disease, and most will eventually succumb to death unless rescued.

Sweet little family.
Midnight's puppies are healthy and the whole family is doing great. Two boys and two girls. Midnight is an incredible, attentive mom to her sweet babies. After all she has been through -- abandonment, severe injuries from getting hit, surgery to repair the damage and still dealing with healing fractures as well, this 2-year old girl is simply amazing. Always happy, always loving and now a great mom.
Happy Friday Everyone!

Not wanted. Not loved. Left to die.
No dog should ever have to experience the confusion, the fear and the unknown of abandonment, yet more and more dogs are enduring this cruelty forced upon them by the people they were loyal to -- the people they loved unconditionally. The harsh reality is their humans don't care what happens to them -- if they will have food or find a safe place to be; if they will get injured or sick.....or worse. When they open the door and shove them out, these sensitive, loving and loyal dogs cease to exist in their minds.
Today, one of our feeders, sadly, saw two deceased dogs on the side of the road. They were most likely new arrivals to abandonment, who were terrified and not knowing what to do, just ran, and like so many, didn't survive the harsh world they were dumped into. And their humans probably didn't give these poor dogs a second thought. Out of sight, out of mind.
Abandoned dogs are all we think about and your donations help us help them by providing food to keep their bellies full and keep them from wandering, medical for injured or sick dogs and because rescue doesn't stop when they are picked up from the streets, boarding. With the increasing number of dogs being abandoned, we need your support more than ever -- these (and other) abandoned dogs need your support.

A surprise from Midnight.......
When we found her seriously injured and limping in pain (fb.watch/kNOmYxYwBe/), we didn't know that we weren't just rescuing Midnight, but her unborn puppies. In fact, we did have x-rays taken at the time and nothing showed up, to our short-lived relief, which means she had just gotten pregnant right before she was rescued. This sweet, girl may have been tossed out to the streets, but that is behind her and a life her puppies will never know.
We are still seeking a rescue to take Midnight, which means a whole family! 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾......
Midnight is amazing! She has always been friendly, happy and loving to everyone she's met -- even when she was in severe pain-- right up to the operating table and on through her recovery. She has been just a great dog through everything. But she deserves a quiet, comfortable place to have her babies.
If your RESCUE is interested in taking Midnight, a please submit an application at >>> redlandrockpit.org/partner-application/, or if current partner, email partners@redlandrockpit.org.

Ezra update.
We are happy to report that little Ezra is doing so much better. The swelling in his face has gone down, the sores are healing and he has been eating like a champ! A shine has even started to replaced the sad eyes we first saw of a suffering puppy. While Ezra still still has a ways to go, we can't wait to see this sweet boy being the playful, carefree puppy he was meant to be.

Those eyes say "adopt me please."
Cane is a sweet senior who would be the perfect companion for a family who wants a quiet, friendly pet with good manners. It would be wonderful if this 7 year old gent had a home where he could live out his golden years being loved for the incredible dog he is.
Cane is UTD on vaccinations, neutered, and house trained, and while loves being with people, he does need to be the only pet in the house. If you are looking for a new family member, look no further. Go to redlandrockpit.org/adopt-or-foster/ to complete an application for Cane. If you have any questions, please email adoptions@redlandrockpit.org.

Kelly update.
She had her surgery and is doing pretty well with the amputation of her leg. If you don't know or recall, this video (fb.watch/kruHCMcPan/) tells the story of Kelly, a nine-year-old abandoned dog who was injured so badly the shattered pieces of her left femur couldn't be repaired. This poor dog suffered excruciating pain and would still be out there if we hadn't picked her up. Your donations paid for the surgery to end the pain and now she will be starting a new life as a tripod. Kelly is understandably frightened, but with time she will understand that her life of abandonment is over forever and she will get to life of a senior that she deserves: safe, comfortable and taken care of by people who cherish her.
Donations save and change lives for abandoned dogs.

Today is National Rescue Dog Day!
Today is their (rescued dogs) special day to be recognized for all the benefits of adopting one of these amazing dogs into your life.
For dogs that have been abandoned, most are used to a home life and finding themselves suddenly in an unfamiliar place makes it difficult for them to fend for themselves. Food and safe shelter are hard to find, and humans and other animals pose a very real threat to these dogs. They are forced to overcome extreme obstacles just to survive.
Once rescued from the streets, each one needs a forever home and their potential is limitless. These dogs provide comfort, security, and incredible friendship as family pets. Giving a second chance to a once abandoned dog is opening your world to immeasurable love and loyalty that only a dog can give.
We have several dogs just waiting to share their special selves with a new family. Some of their photos are attached, but please visit AdoptaPet.com/shelter105862-pets.html to see them all and read their stories. You never know, you may just find your new BFF.

There is no more grateful love than that of a “rescued” dog that has been adopted and I do wish those that ADOPT a rescued dog stop referring to themselves as having “rescued” it. No you did not. You adopted a dog someone cleaned up for you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Update on Ezra.
Test came back and this poor little guy has Puppy Strangles, also known as Juvenile Cellulitis, which a rare skin disease that affects puppies. Puppy strangles causes facial swelling, oozing, crusted, painful lesions on the skin, and lymph node enlargement, which makes it difficult for puppies to eat and drink. Ezra is getting all wounds cleaned and drained, and will be given steroids and antibiotics round the clock. Tonight he is resting quietly at the vet hospital where this sweet little puppy is getting the help he so desperately needed. We will keep you updated.
