Scar has never known a home life; he was born on the streets. The first time we saw him was in 2016 when he was about two years old – he is now a senior and his whole life has been about surviving a world that wasn’t kind to him. He was one of about 10 dogs born in the same area, living together as a “family”, regularly roaming through the landfill area they made as one of their safe havens. Through the years, we have rescued six of the dogs-- two died of cancer after rescue; sadly two died before we could get them, all of their diseases, indicative of the hazardous environment they were subjected to.

Scar was one of two remaining dogs, and it was past time we got him. The hard life of a street dog showing in his slower movements; the stiffness of his old limbs making it more difficult to move as he had for many years; illness seemingly becoming more pronounced each passing day, but every time we tried to rescue him, we came up against obstacles. Until now.

Scar is no longer a street dog. For the first time in his life, he is sleeping in a comfy bed, with food and water nearby and his old, achy bones finally able to rest instead of having to constantly move to avoid danger.

As though he was grateful for finally getting off the streets, Scar jumped in the car and was showing affection to his rescuers – people he has seen for years who showed him kindness and made sure he was fed. Scar especially enjoyed the air-conditioning in the car as he left the area he had known his whole life.

Initial medical examination surprised us with the great news that he does not have heart worm. However, he is displaying breathing issues which we are having further testing done to determine what it could be. He has anemia, which will just take time, but too, his testicles have raised concern of potential cancer, which be biopsied when he is neutered.

Once the vet gives the approval, we will need a long-term foster who is experienced with street dogs to help this old guy transition into living in a home. We don’t know how long he has, but we want him to be comfortable, loved and enjoy being what he should have been all along – just a dog.

If you have experience and would like to open your home and heart to this sweet old dog, please complete a foster application at redlandrockpit.org/foster-forms/.

If you would like to donate to help with Scar’s vet bill, we would be most grateful.

Please meet ZELDA 🥰

Her owner gave her away when she was only 4 weeks old 😞 Zelda had to face the world and be a strong little girl at a very young age. Unfortunately, her mom couldn’t protect her anymore; within seconds she lost everything she ever had 💔

The lady she was given to couldn’t care for her either, Zelda was missing her mom terribly and all she would do is cry endlessly
Her new owner couldn’t deal with this situation, and although her little boy and Zelda were deeply in love, she decided to break them apart and contacted us.

There are no words to properly describe Zelda’s heartbreak. But despite all the unfortunate events she has gone through, this little gem is sweet, loving, playful, gentle, fun and available for adoption. She is now 10 weeks old!

Zelda needs to be HOME for Christmas!!!

If you’re interested in adopting her please fill out an adoption application

Rosie enjoyed some "me" time and just enjoyed hanging outside with her new friend, while her adorable puppy played and received all kinds of attention. It is hard to believe that just five days ago this little family was going to be left behind in a trash-strewn lot, without a care if they would survive or not. Both have been checked by our vets, and other than Rosie having Anaplasmosis (a bacterial tickborne disease), which she is being treated for, they both are doing well. Puppy is now eating solid food and they are happy, content, and are soon going to a wonderful foster home together.

This is indeed a happy-ending story -- Rosie got to escape the world of an abandoned dog and her puppy never had to fight to survive in it. Your support made this happen and gave them many happy tomorrows.

Happy Friday everyone!

In the blink of an eye it all changed.....

One minute he was walking down the road he has travelled many times, and without warning his routine was violently disrupted when he was hit by a heavy equipment truck exiting a lot. One of our volunteers watched in horror as he wobbled away in shock, as she was raced to help him, only to see him hit by another truck before she could reach him. This poor dog was in so much pain and on top of it, bleeding profusely from his mouth. Thankfully a police officer helped her get the injured dog in her vehicle, after stopping because she was parked in the road. He is now at our vet hospital.

Surprisingly, (shockingly more like!) he sustained no broken bones, however, X-rays indicate head trauma and an opaque area on the back of his head, possible bleeding of the brain. A CT scan has been ordered, so we won't know the full extent of the head trauma until that is complete. He is being kept sedated, as this poor dog is in a lot of pain.

He name is now Moose and he is a perfect example of the dangers abandoned dogs face every second.

Moose needs your support to help with his medical costs and care, which are going to be expensive, so any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

SAFE!

Mama dog is so unbelievably sweet. She melted at the touch of a kind hand, so happy for the attention, and her tiny, still-nursing puppy, snuggled into the warm arms of our volunteer. All the dangers on the lot where he was born -- that his mom had somehow survived, are now miles behind them, and for the first time in the puppy's life, he and his mother are safe. We couldn't wait for a rescue to step up. And while we were told the other puppies were taken, volunteers are still out combing the area just to make sure there aren't any still there.

Please donate for them -- this little family who were going to be left behind in a trash-strewn lot are now sleeping in a clean, soft bed and will have many happy tomorrows. Care, vetting, spay/neuter, vaccinations are what they will receive, and of course, lots of love.
