Pup Squad Animal Rescue

Pup Squad has always been all about puppies and their mommas and right now we are swimming in puppies (Yay!... and also $$$)

In the past several weeks, thanks to the generosity of fosters who opened their homes, we were able to say YES to quite a crew.

11 Husky Mix babies found abandoned at a construction site. 11 puppies so young their eyes didn't open for another week - all alone in a carboard box. Sadly, two pups were lost early on, but 9 are thriving thanks to some very dedicated fosters - the two women who took in ELEVEN one week-old puppies and bottle fed them around the clock. Another open-hearted couple scooped up a fading puppy and took her to the emergency vet (at their expense) and nursed her back to health. Now the pups are a little older and a few more generous fosters have stepped forward to take some of the pups (even though they have scabies). As you can imagine on top of the normal 'healthy' puppy expenses (vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, de-wormer) these medical expenses are adding up.

One sweet momma dog + 7 puppies This is the story of a stray rescued off the street who presented her rescuer with 7 babies two months after the rescue. It's the story of another individual who said YES and gave momma a safe place to have and raise her babies. Pup Squad is happy to have been able to support this person, who despite being in a tough spot themselves opened their heart (and home). And we're grateful to the fosters who have stepped in to help this family now that the pups are ready for the next step in their journey and who have made room for momma to recover and get ready for her own happily ever after,

Mangey Margo Recently, a pair of rescuers who focus on rehabbing challenging dogs, were driving to the vet and spotted a small, almost bald puppy on the side of a busy road. Unlike the other cars, they didn't drive past, they stopped. And the frightened pup promptly ran into a drainpipe. After crawling in after her, they were able to get her out and took her to the vet with them. Despite more than having their hands already full, they couldn't turn a blind eye. Pup Squad was happy to say YES and take Margo into the program. Following her 14-day quarantine, Margo was able to move to a Pup Squad foster.

Now we need your help. For these and all the pups we have now and who will enter the program in the future. Donate today and help us continue to get puppies and their mommas healthy and placed into loving homes.

Donate today and double your money.

For Giving Tuesday all donations will match up to $2,500.

An anonymous donor has come forward to match our August donations to honor Darbie Bruning. Darbie was one of the first to step up and foster for Pup Squad in the early days. We lost Darbie to cancer just a few short years ago and she is sorely missed. This fundraiser will help us keep our promise in Darbie’s honor.

Thanks to this generous donor, you can double your impact by supporting the Pup Squad Promise in August.

For 15 incredible years, Pup Squad has worked hard to be a beacon of hope for countless puppies in need. Our commitment to each and every pup goes beyond adoption day – it's a lifelong promise.

While our focus has always been on rescuing puppies and their mommas, we also stand by those who haven't yet found their forever homes. Some have grown up with us, some are returning pups, while others are patient mommas awaiting their own 'Happily Ever After'. These loyal companions often come with medical needs and require extra care, from treating skin issues to addressing the challenges of aging.

But they're not alone on their journey. Thanks to the unwavering support of generous donors like you, we're able to provide them with the medical attention, training, and love they deserve. Along with our small band of amazing fosters, our dedicated boarding and training partners work tirelessly to prepare these dogs for their forever families, ensuring they remain safe, healthy, and happy along the way.

However, our resources are stretched thin, and the need continues to grow. Adoptions are slower than ever, and we struggle to find enough fosters to provide temporary homes for these deserving pups. Despite the challenges, we refuse to turn our backs on them. We believe in their potential, and we're determined to keep our promise.

But we can't do it alone. Your support is vital in helping us uphold the Pup Squad Promise. Your donation will go directly to covering essential expenses such as medical treatments, training sessions, boarding costs, and emergency care. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of these dogs.

Together, let's ensure that every member the Pup Squad family remains a cherished member for life. Join us in our mission to rescue, nurture, and find loving homes for these deserving dogs. Will you help us keep the Pup Squad Promise alive?

This Giving Tuesday is especially important to Pup Squad. Candidly, it's been a rough year.

The routine expenses of healthy puppies such as vaccinations, deworming, spay or neuter surgery and microchipping, add up. The not-so-routine expenses like torn ACLs, tumors (benign TG) and illnesses, as well as the typical issues often seen in rescue dogs like mange, heartworms, and severe intestinal parasite infestations can stretch the budget.

Also, we stand by our pups - Once a Pup Squad pup, always a Pup Squad pup. Whether a pup's road to adoption is longer than expected, a momma dog needs some training, or an adoption doesn't work out, we are committed to the dogs in our program. With a shortage of fosters (and adopters) these situations can further strain our limited resources.

The fact is, in addition to the changes in the world around us over the last fifteen years, running a 15-year-old puppy rescue looks very different from running a 5-year-old puppy rescue. While we're excited about some future programs we're working on to address these shifts, they'll take some time to bear fruit. So, we are you asking for your help to get over the hump. We owe it to all the dogs in our program today, all the dogs we've rescued in the past and all the dogs we hope to help in the future to keep going.

Can you help us?

Every little bit will make a big difference.
