🚨 URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED 🚨

⚠️ By Wednesday!

Chance is an 8-year-old Husky/Malamute mix and a wonderful family dog. ❤️

He currently lives with another dog, regularly visits the dog park and has been raised around children. Everyone who knows him describes him as friendly, loving and easy to live with.

The heartbreaking reality is that Chance’s fur is causing allergic reactions for the family’s baby. They have done everything they can to make it work and have held off as long as possible. We’ve also had Chance listed for adoption, but he hasn’t received any applications.

💔 If we cannot find a foster home, Chance will be surrendered to a shelter on Thursday.

From his owner:
“Chance is a calm, medium-energy dog who enjoys the simple things in life like lounging around the house, watching TV with his people and spending time in the backyard. One of his most special qualities is how intuitive he is ❤️ He seems to sense when someone needs comfort and is happiest just being by your side. He is incredibly patient, affectionate and sweet with our baby”

✅ Currently in Sarasota
✅ Foster’s can be within an hour of Sarasota or Tampa Bay
✅ Neutered and all vet care complete
✅ Shaved down due to a skin issue from his low thyroid and he takes thyroid meds
✅ We provide his medication and supplies

Can ANYONE help? 🙏🏼

PLEASE HELP CHANCE! 🥺❤️

Flash’s Story ❤️‍🩹🥹

Some dogs just can’t catch a break and Flash is one of them.

After her owner entered hospice, Flash (and 9 other dogs) ended up at the county shelter, where she waited for 6 months with no one coming for her 😔

Then things got even worse 💔

Flash was placed in a foster home through the shelter and was lost not once, but TWICE. The first time, she spent a week running scared and alone before finally trusting our volunteer Heather and her dog Blair enough to come close and be safely trapped.

Sadly, Flash was returned to the foster home after the first escape, only to be lost again just days later. The story never quite added up and the foster made no effort to help find her either time 😔 Something was fishy, but Flash needed help again. If Flash had only been relying on the people responsible for her, she may never have made it home. Thankfully, she had us on her side 🙏🏼

For five more days, Heather, Blair, and a dedicated team of volunteers searched tirelessly. Flash would come running to Blair whenever she saw her, but she was too frightened to let anyone catch her. Blair was key in luring her though.

Then came the call none of us wanted.

Flash had been attacked. She was found injured, bleeding and terrified 💔 but was still running for her life.

A dedicated group of volunteers stayed out nearly all night trying to bring her to safety and at 7:30am the next morning, she was finally caught 🙌🏼 (thanks to Blair again!) She was sleeping on the side of a pond and could barely walk, she was in so much pain.

Flash went straight to the vet for wound care, antibiotics and pain medication. Once she was safe, Love4Paws immediately welcomed her into our rescue, ensuring she would never have to return to the situation that had failed her twice ❤️‍🩹

And here’s the thing we’ve learned about Flash: she’s not a dog trying to run away 🥹

She’s a happy, tail-wagging sweetheart who LOVES people and other dogs. She’s in a foster home with mama Fifi and a bunch of dogs and is awesome with every dog she’s met. She even spent a day at doggy daycare with dogs of all sizes 🐕

Flash has been failed more times than we can count, but she’s never stopped being kind ❤️

Now she’s safe. She’s healing. And very soon, she’ll be ready to find the forever home she’s been waiting for all along ❤️

If you’re a pittie lover, this girl is a GEM 💎 and the best of the best. We are the lucky ones!
