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.

RESCUE NEEDED
These dogs have been roaming in Redland for 3 days now. The female (black dog) is in heat and the white/black one is injured
Female was skittish at first, but we were able to get close to her, both dogs are dog friendly. The male does not come close to us, but we cannot pick up one dog without the other
At this time we need a reputable rescue to take these dogs OR fosters able to open their heart and home to help them
We have too many dogs under our care, but we cannot leave these ones abandoned any longer. Can you help?
They will also need medical sponsors as our funds have been depleted due to the increase amount of medical cases we have taken on recently
Please 🙏 they deserve a fair chance ... See MoreSee Less

ROCK PIT MAMA’s babies are in need of financial help now.
“We need a loan I can use my house for collateral Momma Hailey went thru surgery they checked her stomach and all intestines n found nothing. We took her to the ER vet for 2 days of aftercare because i didnt want to see her get worse. After they had her they called a few hours later to inform me she was Parvo postive and suffering in alot of pain. Her chances of survival werent good. I got on the phone trying to borrow more money when she went downhill fast n we had to let her go. We are taking her 2 puppies to the vets now. We dont have the money for treatment but my house is worth over $500,000 I owe 120,000 on it. No time for a bank loan n I have no credit Im begging someone to let me use my house as collateral for a loan to pay to save these puppies if u can help please call me 561-306-9363 I am not good at fundraising but I am begging for help to save them the money will go straight to the vets from you so u know i am not using the money for anything else.” ...

So sweet. Rest In Peace 🙏
People could donate directly to the vet if you post the info. So sorry about poor mama dog!
Do you know about how much $$ is needed, and what Vet the pups are at?
Little chickens nuggets checking in 😊 these sweet pups have been dewormed, microchipped and had a lengthy spa day; fleas have been removed from their fragile bodies.
They are feeling a lot better today 🥰 they are about 4lbs each. We are happy to know they finally have a chance to find loving furever homes.

We thought they were chickens running in the street!!
While feeding last night in Hialeah Gardens, these three babies were seen from afar running in the street but we thought they were chickens 😩 until we saw a Good Samaritan start picking them up and putting them in his truck. The last one had to be caught with cat food by Leigh. After talking to the gentleman, they were not his dogs but didn’t want them to get hurt. He also agreed to give them to us! Welcome these three to our family!
Please help us help them!

It's almost Easter, that time of year when many parents buy their children live “Easter bunnies.” But many don't understand the needs of rabbits and the 10+-year commitment. So every year, thousands of baby rabbits (and chicks and ducks) are purchased as Easter gifts only to be abandoned or left at shelters in the days, weeks and months that follow Easter.
Most children want a companion they can hold, carry and cuddle, but rabbits are fragile, ground-loving creatures who break easily when dropped. As prey animals, they can be skittish and children can grow bored of a companion that often doesn't like to be picked up.
Rabbits can be excellent companions (I adopted 2), but before you commit, join me for my next FREE virtual Bunny Basics class to get info on the care and behavior of these comical, quiet creatures and get all your questions answered.
Please share this so we can reach people all over! Thanks! ... See MoreSee Less

COURTESY POST: WE DO NOT HAVE THIS BABY.
We received a message about this baby:
“Hi, my name is Ricky Lenore. I have a dog I've been fostering for several days came from a coworker of mine who's kind of neglectful of the dog and then tried to send them. He was going to send them also kill shelter because he was moving and my wife and I intervened and we've been fostering him for a little while and you know, he's a great dog he gets along really well the other dogs and and kids. I have three kids including a two year old and but we also have four cats and outdoor cat and three indoor cats and so it's getting a little difficult and stressful to keep them separated from the cats so my wife and I were hoping that we could find a place for him. You know if someone took care of for him, but definitely where he's not going to put down or anything. He's a sweet dog is great. But if you could give me a call when you get a chance. Please again my name is Ricky you can reach me at 95449491154. I also have my work mobile number is 954-654-5246. Thank you very much. Have a great day. (Transcribed via voicemail)”
Meet HEMI:

Shared in hopes of more Permanent foster or adopter !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He is a beautiful pup and you are a wonderful person to care
At first I thought the dog’s name was Ricky. I hope they ensure he ends up in a safe situation. It sounds like they’ll do that.

He looks like my Daisy, I'm praying for him 🙏

LATE NIGHT RESCUE ❤️

A plea for help was posted Monday morning for mom and pups in Florida City; this morning we were finally able to make contact with the owner
We drove to their location this evening and we saved this lovely family. Puppies are loaded with parasites 😕 this family will be vetted immediately. Per owner these poor animals have never been indoors, the backyard has been their “home”
We are thankful not only because they are safe, but also because we have incredible volunteers that are willing to save a life no matter how early or late it is
Please consider making a donation 🙏 we thank you in advance for your assistance and kindness!!! ... See MoreSee Less
