Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue

Look at that sad face from Moon. She says “ that smarts!” ( she was spayed today) You will be ok sweet girl. You are going home to eat dinner and get some rest. You are in good hands with Foster Mama Monica. ❤️
Moon says….. an adoption application would cheer her up! 😁🏠

Can you help ROWDY? He needs a foster by this weekend. He’s a handsome boy of 5 months old. Labrador Retriever/Shepherd Mix. Loves other dogs ( cats unknown). Please open up your heart and home to sweet Rowdy.

This is VELVET. She’s about 6 years old and was found on the streets with BIRKENSTOCK. They were out there surviving TOGETHER. ❤️❤️ And we would like to keep them together as a bonded pair. They groom each other and cuddle. Velvet
had a very large mammary tumor on her belly. We have had it removed and she is healing ❤️‍🩹 nicely with Birkenstock by her side. Their bond is undeniable, and we are determined to keep them together as they find their forever home.

However, Velvet’s surgery was unexpected, and with so many medical bills piling up, we could really use some help. If you’re able to donate, even just a little, it would go a long way in covering her surgery costs and ensuring both Velvet and Birkenstock get the care they deserve. 🙏

Please consider donating and sharing their story! Together, we can give this pair the happy, healthy life they’ve been waiting for.

Meet Bluetooth, the charismatic 11-month-old Husky who’s ready to find his forever home! With his striking markings and sweet personality, Bluetooth is a local Connecticut dog whose family realized that he needs more time, attention, and exercise than they could provide.

Bluetooth is everything you’d expect from a Husky puppy—adorable, fluffy, and full of energy. But as he’s grown, so has his need for an active and engaged lifestyle. This lovable pup would thrive with someone who can match his enthusiasm for life, whether that’s running, hiking, or exploring the great outdoors.

Bluetooth has so much potential and is already an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic friend to join you on your adventures, Bluetooth could be the perfect match. He’s ready to be your running buddy, your hiking friend, and most importantly, your new best friend.

🚨🚨🚨 URGENT: Please Help Our Puppy Matilda🙏🙏🙏

Needed: $270 Donated: $730

Our sweet puppy, Matilda, is in a critical fight for her life. After surviving a rattlesnake bite, Matilda's journey to recovery has taken another turn. She’s now spiked a fever, and we are rushing her to the vet.

This black-and-white beauty has already shown so much strength and resilience. We’ve managed to raise $320, but we know that more is needed to cover her ongoing medical expenses.

Matilda deserves a chance to grow up and find her forever home. If you can, please consider donating to help us support her through this tough time. Every little bit counts.

Let’s come together and give Matilda the fighting chance she needs. ❤️

“Where there is hope… sun shines! ☀️

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

🚨🚨🚨URGENT: We Need Your Help to Save a Puppy’s Life! 🚨🚨🚨
Amount Needed: $270.00
Donated: $730.00

We’re heartbroken to share the story of a sweet little street puppy who was bitten by a rattlesnake. Tragically, her sibling didn’t survive, succumbing to the venom within an hour. The only reason this brave pup is still fighting is because the snake likely used most of its venom on her sibling. She’s hanging on, but without emergency care, she won’t make it through the day.

We can’t do this alone. The cost for her treatment could be as high as $2,000, but we urgently need to raise at least $1,000 to give her a chance. We know times are tough, and we’re not asking you to bear the full burden—we’re asking you to be part of our family, part of a community that refuses to give up on those who can’t fight for themselves. We can’t even describe the amount of people involved in multiple states just to find her and get her off the streets last night and into a home.

Will you be part of her journey and help us save her life? Please donate now and share this post. 🙏🙏🙏

Sailor ⚓️🐶 :

From South Texas sands to New England’s shore,
A little gray Shih Tzu named Sailor did soar.
He left behind heat, in search of the cold,
To find a forever where love is untold.

Once in the valley where warm breezes play,
Sailor wandered, waiting for his bright day.
But fate had a plan, a journey ahead,
To a place where new dreams are carefully bred.

Through miles and miles, he traveled with grace,
A small furry sailor on a voyage to a safe place.
In Connecticut’s arms, he found his true port,
A haven of love where kindness is sport.

No longer alone, no longer afraid,
In his new foster home, Sailor’s worries started to fade.
A family to cherish, a bed of his own,
The heart of a Shih Tzu, finally known.

A rescue dog’s tale, of hope and of home,
Wherever he roams, he’ll never roam alone.

Hopscotch’s soft brown eyes,
Little heart full of big dreams—
Who will be his home?

The first ( and smallest) of Felicia’s Fruitbowl Litter of 8 has been adopted. Tamarind is now known as Anduin ( Andy) and settling in nicely. He’s eating up all the one-on-one attention and quickly becoming an expert cuddler!

Meet the Unlikely Duo: A Pitbull ( male) & Pug ( female)Pair. In the heart of South Texas, amidst the sweltering heat, an unusual yet inseparable pair was found—an unlikely combination of a Pitbull and a Pug, wandering the streets in search of food and water. Despite their differences, they have forged an unbreakable bond, sticking together through thick and thin, surviving one day at a time.

A kind-hearted man who had been observing them for days shared that they not only travel together but also cuddle up close to sleep, providing each other with comfort and warmth. Their bond is truly something special, and when we were asked to step in, we couldn’t say no, even though our resources are stretched to the limit.

We’re committed to giving them the chance at the beautiful life they deserve—together. But we need your help. Their journey to a new beginning will require medical care and transportation, and any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.

And now, we need your creativity! These two need names as unique as their relationship—names that reflect their loyalty and dedication to each other. Got any ideas? We’d love to hear them!
