📰 This just in! Flint likes whipped cream!

Maybe it’s not that surprising, because who doesn’t love whipped cream? But we love any opportunity to learn more about our dogs. We didn’t really know anything about Flint when he came to RO. We have to piece those parts together as we go.

Though he was very much lacking in confidence for the first several weeks, he has come a long way. This little guy loves to hang out with his foster brother and learn from him. He also craves attention, but won’t demand it. He’s generally a shy guy, but will sweetly stand up and stretch his paws out on you when he wants some snuggles.

Flint is about 1 year old and 30lbs. He lives with cats now, but enjoys the company of his doggy siblings more. Breed guesses are something like heeler/dalmatian/catalouha leopard/terrier thing? All we know is that we really love those freckles. Apply for Flint at rescuedohio.org! ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to the Leatherman family and Chomper! Chomper, now Ollie, ended up in a shelter with a fractured femur before coming to RO. After 2 surgeries, weekly rehab and countless appointments with the amazing staff at Animal Medical Center and The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center, we got him feeling better, and now he is ready to live the life he deserves! He is so excited to explore his furever home that not only comes with a HUGE backyard, but most importantly, four loving humans! Happy tails, little guy 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

RESCUEDohio is asking for donations.

9 hours ago

UPDATE 1/19: Two of these pups have just tested positive for parvo (see last photo). Please keep Ogden and Meka in your thoughts and prayers, and if you’re able, please donate to their care below. They are terrified and struggling, but at the vet now and we’re doing everything we can.

While most people spent yesterday worrying about driving through the snow this weekend, shelter workers had a different problem. Outdoor kennels are perfectly fine in most weather, but a snowstorm is no place for a dog. One of our partner shelters worked tirelessly to fill kennels with straw and warm bedding, because when the shelter is completely full, that’s the best you can do. Where else can they go? It’s January and more dogs are surrendered now than any time of the year.

Those volunteers then have to go home and worry about if they did enough. Were the tarps placed in the best locations? Did we use enough straw and blankets? How soon until their water freezes? It’s a heartbreaking scenario, and it is in no way their fault. We wanted to give as much help as we possibly could, so we sent some volunteers to the shelters and took in 9 dogs yesterday. Nine lives that would have been subject to the cold, but instead went to the vet for an intake exam. Instead, went to a foster home where they could be cleaned and loved and fall asleep on a warm bed.

We are just a small piece of the journey for these dogs. A shelter had to be willing to accept them in the first place. They needed a place to go when they were either found wandering the streets or given up by their families. This is why we beg people to keep their dogs, and then beg people to foster. An empty shelter is a happy shelter, and makes for some pretty happy dogs too.

Here are the 9 lives transported yesterday. They’ll be available for adoption soon. In the meantime, these intakes weren’t exactly planned, so we have no idea what to expect medically. We’ll be spending quite a bit on vetting along with spays/neuters and whatever else is needed beyond the basics. If you’re able to help us cover these costs, you can do so directly through this post, or via PayPal (info@rescuedohio.org). ... See MoreSee Less
