We’re Rescues! October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month! To celebrate, we’ve launched a Razoo fundraising project for the organization that saved us, Friends for Life Animal Rescue. Our goal is to raise $2,000 over the course of October. Help if you can, but we’d love your help spreading the word regardless. Click here to donate or share.
Because we know firsthand how scary it is to be homeless, we want to do everything we can to help our friends that haven’t been fortunate enough (yet!) to find their furever families. We also want to help breakdown some of the stereotypes that can be associated with rescues.
We’re NOT broken…
or untrainable…
or sickly…
or ugly.
Believe it or not, Sparkle & I used to be scared…
and dirty…
and scrawny…
and unloved.
But then Friends for Life took us in and showed us love. We found our furever homes.
Now we are happy…
and playful…
and adventurous…
and cherished.
With gratitude, we will do everything we can this month to help our furry friends that are still waiting in shelters find their happily ever after. Every furry deserves that.
Still on the fence? Here are some of our favorite friends on Instagram, who also happen to be rescues! There’s no doubt, rescues are the best! #AdoptDontShop #OptToAdopt #RescuesRock

I lub rescues – cuz I’m a rescue! Adopting a dog, or any animal, is such a noble and selfless act – thanks for sharing dis post and let’s celebrate our mutual ‘lub’ for rescue dogs!
My cat is a rescue – not from an animal shelter but directly from the street. He was abandoned when he was only 5 months old, but fortunately I found him just in time and took him home. He’s now a happy 6 year old big boy 🙂
Kilo the Pug is a rescue too. Rescues Rock! We love to share happy tails so maybe we could do a feature on you and your efforts? Let me know if interested. X Susie and Kilo the Pug
Rescues are some of the best dogs and cats to be found. They always have a special smile. ☺

Rescues make amazing companions!
I’m so happy that you two were rescued and now have a loving forever home! I will share to help other dogs who are still looking for their loving forever home.

Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
All my pets are rescues, and I wrote about it on my blog this week, where I dispel some of the myths about rescues and shelter dogs. My thoughts? Think adoption first.
