Thank you so much for supporting us!

We need fosters for these two beauties. They could be fostered together but separate is fine too! They are mother and daughter being surrendered by their breeder.

Fiona in first pic and Yoda in second. They are dog friendly, crate trained and love people. They are a tad shy at first but then just really excited and grateful for some love and attention.

If you are available to help foster these girls so we can get them to their first step to their perfect forever homes please fill out an application on our website or linktree in our bio.

Spirit and her ears are officially available for adoption! They must be adopted together 😉

Spirit is a tiny girl at 5 months and 16lbs. We pulled her from our local shelter after she was found very emaciated as a stray. 💔 We pulled another pup a couple weeks prior we thought may be her brother so we had to swoop her up too! DNA test had been sent 🧬

Spirit is some sort of mix, maybe pittie/husky 🤷🏻‍♀️ but what we know she is: smart, loving, playful and adorable! Spirit has already learned some basic commands like sit, place and come. She loves to learn and loves to play.

She loves everyone and everything. 🤍 she is still a puppy so she will need continued guidance and training but she is crate trained and potty trained with a dog door. 🖤

Spirit looooves Summer and Summer loves Spirit (last pic) consider a pair!! 😉🖤🤍🩶

If you are interested in adopting Spirit please fill out an adoption application on our website or the linktree in our bio. 🙏

Welcome Mocha 🤎

Mocha is looking for a foster to adopt family!

Mocha was surrendered to us by her very loving family due to circumstances not necessary to air on social media. All that matters is she is here with us now and ready for the best home.

Mocha is 2.5 years old, loves everyone she meets including kids. She is dog friendly and potty trained. She’s a very kind and affectionate.

Mocha is looking for a foster to adopt home, meaning you foster with intention to adopt once her vetting is complete.

If you are interested in making adorable Mocha a part of your family please fill out a foster application via the linktree on our website in our bio. ♥️♥️♥️

🙏🙏🙏PLEASE SHARE🙏🙏🙏

Spay and neuter and all vet care is out of touch and out of control!
This is the key to at least trying to slow down this horrific crisis!

Every time a female dog goes into heat they run the risk of pyometra which is an infection of the uterus. It is very painful, life threatening and extremely expensive to fix.
Also spay and neuter eliminates the risk of multiple cancers!!

Please, please share so more people know about this amazing opportunity! And if they do well this month they will continue to do it!!

**Adoption Pending**

Our sweetest, sweetest baby girl Ocean is still looking for her forever family ♥️🏡

Ocean is 12 weeks this week! She is all of 4lbs and is as sweet and she is silly. I love this little girl so much!🥰

Ocean came to us via breeder surrender with her siblings, her mom and 2 other female frenchies (Corintina still available). She has thrived in foster care. She is happy and healthy and ready to meet her forever family. ✨

Ocean’s adoption donation is $1,500. These puppies are saints to our rescue and their adoption fees go directly towards helping the less unfortunate bulldogs who didn’t find their way into rescue as quickly as they did and need extra care because of it ♥️

If you are ready to welcome this tiny wonder into your home, please fill out an adoption application via the website link in our bio.

We do adopt out of state but you are required to come pick her up from Las Vegas, NV. Pick up required within 10 days of approved application.

I don’t know if you’re crying but I’m definitely crying.🥹🥹🥹

Rolo 🥰

Rolo was dumped with another frenchie (Tootsie, who is also in her forever home now)several months ago. He was extremely emaciated when he came into rescue. He fostered with the amazing for a bit then made his way to me for the last bit before his forever.

I really fell in love with this dog and I just kept saying he needed a Dad. Well he found one and man oh man….this is just everything. ✨♥️🙏

Rolo has always been a happy guy with the cutest wiggle butt, but he is just exuding nothing but happiness in these photos… it really touches me and makes me feel so honored that I have the ability to help save these most deserving dogs of the sad fate so many face.

Thank you Ryan for being exactly what he needed🙏

To help create more of these happy endings you could support us by buying some high quality really nice apparel from our store. See the link in our bio!

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY!!

Hunk is ready to spend the rest of his life blessing you with his presence. 😏

Hunk is an owner surrender that has been decompressing and basically just showing his foster how amazing he is. 😍

Hunk is 1 yr 10 months old and about 60lbs. His foster says he is playful, happy, agreeable and takes direction well. He is potty trained and dog friendly although he can be a little humpy with other dogs, that should improve with neuter coming this week!!

Hunk is pure wrinkly joy and is ready to find his real forever home 🏡

If you are interested in adopting Hunk please fill out an adoption application via the link to our website in our bio. 🙏

Welcome Corky to the Retired to Rescue Fam♥️

This perfect character is looking for a foster to adopt home 🏡

Corky was a breeder surrender because he is a cryptorchid, meaning his testicles did not descend. Lucky him 🍀
It is a little most costly of a neuter for these guys as the vet has to go hunting for their balls 😝 but it’s worth it because Corky is everything.

Seriously he looks part corgi, his wiggle butt is intense and his legs are sooo short!

Corky is about a year old, dog and cat friendly, crate trained and mostly potty trained. He has lived his life aside from the last two weeks in a crate so he will need continued guidance and training. But he is nothing but sweet🥰

This guy with his luscious locks and sweet face will cuddle you then have you in stitches laughing a minute later. He’s going to be a great companion. ♥️

If interested in foster to adopt (meaning he is a foster until his vetting is completed), please fill out an adoption application via our website link in our bio.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Meet Spirit
and her ears
GAH🥰

We pulled Spirit from our local shelter on Thursday. She was found as a stray and was placed on a 10 day hold- I believe because of the condition she was in. We were able to pick her up when that hold was over. I stated previously that I believe that Spirit is related to Lakota, who is another puppy I pulled from the shelter that was also found as a stray a few weeks ago.

Spirit is about four months old and she’s only 14 pounds. She has bigger paws and long legs but she’s so so skinny and that’s after being fed at the shelter for 10 days 💔 She is full of s***k and spirit and we love her so much already! Spirit will be looking for her forever home in the next week or two so please stay tuned if you’re interested in adopting Spirit.
She’s great with cats and dogs and loves all people. She is working on potty training and is crate trained- but she is likely part husky (dna has been sent) so she does have a lot to say about the crate for a few min before she settles. She is just a puppy so she will need continued training and guidance ✨

PLEASE help us welcome Spirit to the RTR family. She might be the cutest one we’ve ever had!😍

Let’s help her!!

I’ve been asked to take in this total beauty queen! 🤩

She is a year old and probably 80ish pounds. She is dog friendly with other large dogs but not sure about smaller yet. Cats unknown.

She is crate trained.

I need a foster with other large dog friendly dogs or no dogs. Seeing as that is a long shot I would super appreciate some rescue tags for rescues that take in large dogs.

She is so stunning and sweet and chocolatey! 🤎

Comment or message me if you can help and tag rescues in the comments. 🙏🙏

Peyton is being adopted today!! 🙏🙏

‼️EMERGENCY‼️

The most incredibly handsome Peyton needs a new foster or foster to adopt by Saturday!

Peyton is a 4 month old American Bully. He isn’t small now and definitely will not be when he grows up but every inch of this handsome fella is SWEET!

He is crate trained, walks well on a leash and is 95% potty trained. Peyton loves every person and dog he meets. He is respectful of other dogs and plays well.

This seriously beautiful boy is a total catch!

Peyton is loosing his foster and needs a new place to lay his head in Las Vegas or surrounding areas (driving distance here) unless seeking adoption then we will allow out of state.

He needs placement by this Saturday but if you would still consider him and you are in vacation this weekend we can hang onto this gentleman until you return 🥰

If you are interested please fill out a foster or adoption application via the link in our bio.

✨New Girl✨

🖤Meet Shadow🖤

I am helping a friend of mine find Shadow a forever home that will keep her forever!
My friend’s mom got her from someone giving her away about a year ago, now her mom is encountering some life changing events so she can’t keep her so my friend agreed to take her in and help her find a real forever. She cannot keep her due to housing restrictions where she resides. And through it all poor sweet Shadow is just being shuffled around.

Shadow just turned 2 on the 19th. She is less than 10 lbs yorkie, schnauzer mix. 😍

She is dog friendly but mostly just cares about her person. She is potty trained and does ok in the crate but like I said Shadow just wants her person. She has separation anxiety so she does have a lot to say about being left alone and should be crated if left alone to reduce destructive behaviors.

A perfect home for Shadow would be someone wanting a literal lap dog that’s home most of the time. She loves all people and is just happy as can be sitting on a lap. She has not been around cats.

If you are interested in adopting Shadow to help show her that not everyone will give up on her please fill out an adoption application via the link in our bio. ♥️

Please share as we don’t have a large following for people who want dogs other than bulldogs so it would be super helpful!

🙏🐾🙏🐾🙏

Tomorrow we welcome this most beautiful baby to the RTR family! 🥰🥰

She is about 4 months old and too cute for any of us! 😝

A few weeks back I pulled a boy puppy from the same shelter. After loosing all Summer’s babies, which I fully intended on keeping one, I wanted to feel better about the whole situation by saving a pittie puppy. It wasn’t more than 24 hours until I fell in love and knew he would stay.♥️

Then, my friend sent me this girl last week 😳 Tell me they aren’t related!

So seeing as I couldn’t let my baby’s sister stay in the shelter 🤣 we requested her and are picking her up tomorrow!

She will come stay with me for some training (if they are related, she will be a genius like him and live to learn 🥰) then be available for adoption pretty quickly after that!

So stay tuned for this beauty queen! And drop some name ideas below!!🐾

7 days left to shop our merch and help save bulldogs at the same time!! 🥳

☀️UPDATE☀️

I meant to post earlier, it’s been another long day. BUT Oliver is doing great!!😍

Oliver is still in quarantine and receiving treatment but he is testing negative for parvo.
🙏😮‍💨🥳

Oliver had some swelling in his foot Saturday that was getting worse so Saturday night his fosters took him to emergency. He was sedated, his toe was lanced and drained and he was sent home with meds. Once home his new foster parents observed he had thrown up and his p**p was bloody. So he went back to emergency vet where he was originally parvo tested. His first test was a “light positive” but considered positive. That’s when treatment and hospitalization estimates were given. I asked for another test as the situation as a whole just did not lead me to believe he had parvo. They performed another test which was “technically negative” but there was a faint dot so with the first test being positive they said they all agreed to treat him as positive.

What the emergency docs knew but failed to even consider despite my urgency that I really did not believe this dog had parvo, was that Oliver was vaccinated on Friday with a live virus. Despite it being unlikely or not, it should have been considered and is likely the reason all of this happened.

This has caused a ton of tears, cleaning, wasted time (of mine and multiple friends, family, fosters) and a lot of stress on 4 little puppies. I was devastated to be facing a hospitalization bill we could not come close to affording or sending him “home” with treatment, which for most is too big of an ask, to relinquishing him with the understanding if he could not find placement he would be euthanized!!

What is important right now is Oliver is likely going to be just fine, the other three puppies are doing great and back in their foster homes tonight and most importantly our community came through for us when we truly needed you the most. 🥹🥹🥹

Oliver continues quarantine for a bit, he is getting supportive care, meds and treatment for his foot along with a f***l test to try to get more answers on what else is going on with his tummy if not Parvo.

Please continue to send him all the love and positive energy ✨♥️✨

🚨Temp fosters needed!!!🚨

Can anyone foster:

Betty (1st pic) 8/28-9/8

Presley (2nd pic) 8/28-9/3

Velvet/Ube (3rd pic) 8/28-9/3.

They are all dog friendly and super sweet good dogs! Betty & Velvet are a couple years old and Presley is 4 months.
Crate trained and potty trained. 😍

If you can help let me know!!

🚨E-MER-GENCY🚨

$7 Sunday 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

We are begging for your help.

We picked up four frenchie puppies on Friday from a breeder. Very long story short, one of the puppies is testing positive for parvo. 💔💔💔

To say we are devastated is an understatement. We have never experienced this and just feel… frantic, lost, scared….

We have all puppies at the vet. Three are testing negative but the one, Oliver (1st pic) needs the antibody treatment asap. See estimate in picture.

We also will have to also quarantine the other three with periodic parvo tests and antibodies if they pop positive at any point.

We are broke, exhausted and broken and we just can’t loose another dog, let alone a puppy right now. We just can’t. 😭😭😭

If you have any ability to help with saving and supporting these puppies we could just REALLY use your help today.

Thank you🥺

$5 Friday to introduce our new guy Hunk! 😍😍😍😍
And to desperately fundraise for the spays and neuters we need to get done for our existing and incoming pups! 🙏

Hunk was surrendered by his owners this week. He was a pup from their English’s litter but now at almost 2 years he’s a big boy and a little too much for their toddler.

We are grateful Hunk has found his way to us and we have no doubt we will find him an amazing home (if interested fill out an adoption application on our website).
Hunk is 1 yr 10 months old. And around 60lbs. His foster says he is playful, happy, agreeable and takes direction well. He is potty trained and dog friendly although he can be a little humpy with other dogs, that should improve with neuter!!

It costs us close to $500 to spay or neuter a frenchie and we have a 20% discount 😦🫣😩 we are working with our vet to try to lower that cost some more but that’s where we are at right now. It’s the sad reality right now and honestly discourages spaying and neutering in our community only making this whole problem worse…. But let me not go there today. 🫠

We have 8 dogs needing to be fixed right now. This will cost us over $4,000!

WE NEED YOUR HELP, per usual but now more than ever. Adoptions are down, donations are down and intakes are waaaay up. 🥺

If you can spare $5 today (or more if you have it😉) you will be directly helping not only the homeless dog crisis with spay and neuter but being a part of the next step to find these most deserving dogs homes 🏡 ♥️

I also want to say a huge thank you for all of your kind thoughts and shares of the family members you have adopted from me. It made me cry but happy tears, and I’m very grateful for you all for supporting this little rescue and for choosing to adopt😘♥️🙏

You can donate today via the LinkTree in our bio.

🌙 Meet Moon! 🌙

This little lady was a breeder surrender due to cleft palate. She was born 6/6/24 so she is 10 weeks old now. She is teeny tiny but full of sass and personality. She is a side-eye pro and will let you know when she needs something with a little growl and bark. She loves to cuddle.

She has cleft palate but she eats kibble and drinks out of her bowl like a normal puppy. She just can never eat wet food as it will get stuck in her palate.

She’s crate trained and has started working on potty trained but she will need continued trained like any puppy.

Her adoption donation is $1200. She can be adopted out of state, but you must be able to pick up in Las Vegas.

I would like to accept this incredibly handsome man from the shelter but we NEED A FOSTER!

He is about 2 years old, 50lbs, found as a stray. 🥺

Can anyone help???

Must be driving distance from Las Vegas for vet purposes.

We provide all supplies.

Message us if you are able to help.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

🌊Ocean🌊

Ocean is still looking for her forever home 🏡
She is 10 weeks old and packs a whole lot of personality in that tiny body.

Ocean was surrendered originally as her and her sister were very small and failing to thrive. Ultimately the whole liter was surrendered and Ocean has thrived since in our care.

Ocean had suspected hydrocephalus which could be a reason why she is so small, but she is perfectly healthy and happy and looking for the perfect home to spoil her rotten her whole life! ✨♥️✨

Ocean is one of our angel puppies whose adoption fee will be used to support the existing dogs in our rescue needing vetting and medical support. Her adoption fee is $2,000.

If you have big feelings about that, that’s ok. Just keep it to yourself. If people are paying breeders thousands of dollars for puppies, you should absolutely be willing to donate that money to a rescue for a vetted puppy who has been loved and dotted on while under our care, and also help other pups AND it’s tax deductible 🤩

If you are interested in adopting Ocean, please find the adoption application via the linktree in our bio or on our website:
www.retiredtorescue.org

‼️Fosters STILL needed‼️

We have a request from a breeder to take in four 4 month old frenchie puppies. I am not sure if they are male or females yet but I cannot accept them without fosters. They can be fostered separately or a pair.

All supplies and vet care covered by us.
Las Vegas and surrounding areas (Henderson/Pahrump) only.

Please message us if you are willing and able to help.

This will probably be a 2-4 week commitment. 🙏♥️

How have these 2 stud muffins not had any interest 🥺 they have the most irresistible faces & personalities.

Presley & Peyton are 4 month old male Bully pups that was saved from a Walmart parking lot, in a tiny crate being given away in the blazing heat. Peyton and his two brothers came into rescue when the good Samaritan asked for our help.

It was evident they had not had the proper care for puppies, they had no idea what it meant to run around and be a puppy. They were flat footed in their back legs most likely from being in a crate or space way too small for them.

The good news is they made their way to us and now they are ready for their forevers!

Though they are brothers, they are being fostered separately and learning how to be good pups in their foster homes. They’ve picked up potty training quickly and are cuddly clumsy puppies. They’re ready for homes who will continue to show them the ropes.

If you’re looking for a new companion, please fill out an application!

Candy and Corintina are for some reason still looking for their forever homes… 🤯

Both of these short stack girls are almost 2 years old. They are super dog friendly, very playful and super affectionate.

Corintina is all vetted and ready for her forever home.🏡

Candy will be a foster or foster to adopt until her spay in a couple weeks. ♥️

These girls are both crate and potty trained. 🥰
