Dogs for Better Lives’ Post

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗽 - 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆, and we want to shout it from the rooftops, so please share this post with others!📣🐾 This day is all about raising awareness for the incredible animals waiting in shelters for their forever families. By adopting instead of shopping for a pet, you're not just giving a deserving furry friend a second chance - you're literally saving a life. The reality is that in 2023, according to Shelter Animals Count (https://bit.ly/3wdLrCe), approximately 6.5 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠, and only around half get adopted. The others? Well, we don't like to think about it. 💔 But YOU can change those heartbreaking odds! Adopting from your local shelter, humane society, or rescue group is one of the most impactful things you can do to combat pet overpopulation and homelessness. We've written & hosted some amazing articles & webinar about saving lives, overpopulation and kitten basics - check out the links below!

Today, we celebrate the amazing dogs that bring joy, love, and companionship into our lives! 🐶❤️ Whether you’ve adopted a rescue pup or are thinking about it, today is the perfect day to shine a light on the incredible journey of these fur babies. 🐾 Why Adopt a Rescue Dog? 1. Save a Life: Every year, millions of dogs are in need of a loving home. By adopting, you’re saving a life and making space for another dog in need. 2. Unconditional Love: Rescue dogs often have an unmatched gratitude and bond with their new families. 3. Support Shelters: Adoption helps support local shelters and rescues, enabling them to continue their life-saving work. #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #TOGETHERUNITED

Puppy Mill Awareness Day sheds light on the importance of adopting dogs instead of shopping at pet stores (which are often sourced by puppy mills).We must protect beloved animals by ending the cruel conditions that take place in puppy mills. Here are a few ways you can help: 🐾 Adopt a pet and spread the word to encourage others to do the same. 🐾 Spread awareness regarding puppy mills and the number of dog's lives lost due to neglect. 🐾 Help collect funds to support organizations working to end the puppy mill industry, and organizations taking care of homeless dogs.

It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it 🤍 Being a dog rescue does not mean cuddling cute puppies all day (although there are times for that)! There’s a lot that goes into saving lives behind the scene that often take months-a year of planning to save each life. Our team is human and we will never get used to seeing dogs go through tough times. Ongoing support from you all truly makes all the difference in the world for dogs, and for us. Help dog rescues whenever you can. There is something everyone can do! How you can help: -Set up a monthly donation (link in bio) -Donate kibble. This is a never ending need! (Amazon wishlist in bio) -Foster! We need at least 20 short term and long term fosters currently to help current dogs and local surrenders who need help (apply on our site) -Volunteer your time (we always need drivers, supply hubs, administrators, and photographers) -Share our content! Getting the word out about dogs in need of fosters and adopters does work! #dogrescue #torontodogs #redemptionpaws #adoptme #fosterme #adoptdontshop

Happy National Black Dog day! October 1st is a great time to remember to adopt, don't shop. Often, black dogs wait longer in shelters and rescues just because of the color of their fur. Don't miss out on the joy of loyal companionship. Our favorite rescue has lots of available pups looking for their forever homes.

Banfield Foundation is back from a weekend on Najavo Nation in Lechee, Arizona and the message is clear: spay and neuter saves lives! 🧡🐕🐈 In communities where spay/neuter is not accessible, we end up with an overpopulation of dogs that can’t be cared for — many get hit by cars, become sick or injured, go without food or shelter and in most cases, become pregnant and the cycle begins again… This is why we are increasingly committed to bringing comprehensive preventive care to Tribal lands and under-resourced communities. The struggle is real (as is the cuteness) — but it doesn’t have to be! #spayandneuter Upon arrival in one neighborhood, this (adorable) mama and her four puppies were found running the streets — all are now spayed/neutered + all four puppies were relinquished; two are looking for new homes. Visit another neighborhood, you’ll find the same situation. In just two days, our team worked with our partners at The Parker Project to spay and neuter 180 animals — we also provided wellness/sick care for 230 pets and provided food, shelter and extended tie-outs for dozens of deserving dogs and cats. + we funded it all! ➡️ Three days on Navajo Nation, three takeaways: 1. Spay/neuter your dogs! 2. Spay/neuter your cats! 3. Support nonprofits working hard to spay/neuter! #abetterworldforpets #endingpethomelessness #proudlymars #proudlymarspetcare
