ADOPT JUSTICE! The last Furgotten dog 💔

This is Justice— an 8-year-old Pittie whose heart is as big as his head! 🥰

Justice is the heart and soul of what Furgotten Dog Rescue has always meant: “Helping the unwanted.”

Justice came from a life of abuse. He was famous, and not in a good way, after a viral Facebook video showed his owners beating him with a hammer and a crutch. With his owners in jail, Justice was forced to go to the shelter, where he placed on the euthanasia list. So, Furgotten Dog Rescue came to his rescue— or so I thought….

When people see that a rescue has Justice, they think, “He’s safe.” But as a rescue, I want everyone to know that being “ALIVE” and having a “QUALITY LIFE” are not the same 😞

That being said, I have to be honest and admit that I cannot give Justice the life he deserves 😭

Because of the dynamics between the dogs I am keeping, Justice has to be rotated. That means Justice spends most of his time in a spare bedroom because I cannot safely have everyone together.

He deserves more than a spare bedroom. He deserves more than 45 minutes of attention a day. He deserves more than being “safe.”

This is not due to a lack of commitment. I have fostered and committed to Justice for 7 YEARS. That is 7 years of rotating. 7 years without a family. 7 years of being passed over. 7 years of being “safe” but never truly being home.

And I do not want his story end that way 🙏

I want Justice to know what it’s like to have someone look at his sweet face and think, “How did nobody want you?” 🥺

So if this person is out there, and willing to give Justice his forever home, I am willing to pay for his food and veterinary care for the rest of his life 🤩

Justice’s adoption will mark the end of of a fostering era with Furgotten Dog Rescue, but will start a new mission with the idea of helping owners keep the pets they love before those pets become “unwanted.”

But first…

I need to finish what Furgotten Dog Rescue started— and Justice is the last Furgotten dog who needs a furever home.

➡️ If you or someone you know would be interested in adopting, please message text Stephanie at 513-623-7109 for more information the adoption process ❤️

‼️Justice is great with kids, okay with 1 other large dog (no small dogs), dog reactive on a leash, hates cats, hates a crate, and loves his in fenced yard‼️

‼️10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ADOPT GYPSY‼️

1. Seven Years Old = Perfect Age: Think “retired but still fun.” 🤩

2. Certified Playground Supervisor: Kids playing? Gypsy’s on duty. 👮

3. Professional-Level Cuddler: She doesn’t just “like” cuddles, she EXPECTS them. 🥰

4. Never Feel Alone Again: Bathroom? She’s there. Kitchen? There. She’s basically a Stage 5 Clinger 😬

5. Emotional Support, No Paperwork Required: Sad? She knows. Crying? She already has her head on your lap. 🥹

6. She’s cheaper than therapy: And unlike your therapist, she won’t ask you why you keep texting your ex. 😂

7. Elite Fly Hunter: Flies in your house? Not anymore! 🪰

8. Professional crumb vacuum: Drop food? Gypsy says, “I got you.” Floor = spotless. You’re welcome. 😋

9. Security system upgrade: Knock on the door? ALERT. Amazon package? VERY IMPORTANT ALERT. 🚨

10. Because Gypsy deserves a forever home: And honestly… your couch looks like it’s missing a dog anyway 😉

SALLY UPDATE!

After raising funds for her eye removal surgery, we did pre-operative bloodwork this morning just to be safe. Unfortunately, the results showed that it would not be safe for her to undergo anesthesia (her red blood cell count was low and non-regenerative).

The vet was very honest and felt the risks were simply too high — there was a strong chance she would not make it through surgery 💔

As much as we wanted to fix her eyes, we will never risk her life for it.

Instead, we are shifting to comfort care. Sally now has medicated eye drops and a lifetime prescription of gabapentin to manage her pain as much as possible. We also treated her chronic ear and bladder infection again to make sure she’s feeling as good as she possibly can.

While this wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, your generosity still made a difference. The additional funds raised for Sally’s surgery were applied to our outstanding veterinary balance — including the bill that saved Harley’s life. Because of you, both dogs are being cared for 🥰

Thank you for loving Sally with us. Please continue to keep her in your prayers as we focus on keeping her comfortable and happy ❤️

💔 $2 Tuesday for Sally 💔

Today, I’m asking for just $2 for Sally— a 10-year-old BLIND Cocker Spaniel who was rescued from a shelter after suffering a life of breeding and abuse 😢

Sally needs both of her eyes removed. Her surgery consultation and appointment is at Owen County Vet this Thursday at 8:00am.

Originally, we were told Sally was not healthy enough for surgery. But with her bloodwork improving and her eyes causing her excruciating pain, the kindest thing we can do for her now is surgery.

She doesn’t understand why it hurts — she just trusts us to make it better. After all she’s been through, she deserves to live the rest of her life pain free.

If you’ve ever loved one of our dogs… rooted for the underdogs… believed in “Helping the Unwanted”… please help us help Sally.

If 300 people gave just $2, we’d have $600 toward Sally’s surgery.

✨ Final Wishlist Wednesday ✨

This is the last time I will be asking for donations or supplies 😢

Supporting five dogs and one cat that aren’t mine is a heavy financial responsibility to carry alone—but it’s one I am choosing to fully take on from here forward. After this, everything they need will be on me.

So I am asking for help one last time to get us through this final stretch 🙏

The biggest and most urgent need—always—has been dog food ‼️

If you’re able to help in any way today, it would mean more than I can put into words. And if not, please know how grateful I am that you’ve been part of this journey 🥹

Thank you for standing with me until the very end.

🐾ADOPT GYPSY🐾

Gypsy is guessed to be a 7-year-old Boxer/Bulldog/Lab mix. She’s a big baby weighing 73 lbs.

Gypsy is the kind of dog who makes you believe in second chances 🥹

At seven years old, she’s already survived more than any dog should. Gypsy came from a heartbreaking situation involving animal cruelty—one where help came for the children, but not for her 😢 She was left behind, unspayed and suffering, eventually showing life-threatening signs of pyometra 💔 When her future was about to end, we stepped in and saved her life.

Now, Gypsy is fully vetted, healthy, and ready for the forever home she’s always deserved. And here’s the best part…she is PERFECT! 🤩 She’s calm, affectionate, and just wants to be close to her people. Her favorite place is right next to you—on the couch, in bed, or following you from room to room 🥰

Despite her age, Gypsy still has a playful, puppy-like spirit. Her only little quirk? She may jump up when she’s excited to greet you… because she’s just that happy to see you 🤪

Gypsy is….

✨ Dog-friendly
✨ Kid-friendly
✨ Cat-friendly
✨ House trained
✨ Crate trained

Gypsy isn’t asking for much—just a soft place to land and someone who will love her for the rest of her life. After everything she’s been through, she deserves nothing less ❤️

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, cuddle-loving companion who will adore you endlessly… Gypsy is your girl!

‼️FURGOTTEN DOG RESCUE UPDATE‼️

First, I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has adopted, fostered, volunteered, donated, or shared a post! Together, we saved 500 Furgotten dogs, and 20 cats! I am grateful, and so are the animals who would have never gotten the second chance they deserve without your help.

Second, I would like to confirm that I am in the process of closing the rescue. This will take time as we cannot officially “close,” on paper, with animals still in need. I am not giving up on the dogs (and 1 cat) I still have. That will never change.

I have gotten a lot of messages trying to persuade me to stay open. I get it, but it actually makes my decision even easier. The same people who sit behind a screen and tell people what to do, are the same ones who never made a donation, never fostered a dog, never volunteered at an adoption event, and could never possibly understand what it’s like to run a rescue.

So I am going to be fully transparent and real to try to explain why I HAVE to step away from rescue. And maybe this will save another rescue in the future….

🐾 Rescue is ALL VOLUNTEER! It is not a paid job. In fact, rescue has cost me everything. When funds aren’t raised, I pay the difference, or we go into debt. The rescue debt, is my debt. For example, I will personally have to pay the $3,500 we still owe for Harley.

🐾 Rescue is mentally exhausting. I have to make the calls that no one should have to make. Just saying, “No” plays a mental toll— You want to help, but cannot. The worse part is feeling like you are the deciding factor between life and death. I would not wish that on anyone 😢

🐾 Rescue is not sustainable for 1 person. We had a few reliable and dedicated fosters and for that I will forever be grateful, but I was alone in all other aspects of rescue. No one wants to “work” for free, but that’s exactly what it means to be a VOLUNTEER. Outside of fostering, I was the only volunteer.

Yes, it’s hard to close this chapter. For the past decade, it is all I’ve ever known. It feels like I’m ending a 10-year-abusive relationship. I stayed for the dogs, but left because it was toxic 😢

Moving forward, this is what I will and will not be doing effective immediately….

What I WILL be doing:
✔️Fostering the 5 dogs, and 1 cat, we have left until they get adopted.
✔️Accepting donations for their food and veterinary needs until they all get adopted.
✔️ Keeping our rescue account at Noah’s Ark open until they all get adopted
✔️ Keeping our Petfinder account until they all get adopted
✔️ Hosting one final adoption event (date and location TBD)
✔️Networking dogs in need, and my fosters, on my personal page.

What I WILL NOT be doing:
❌In-taking ANY new dogs (or cats).
❌Responding to e-mails outside of adoption inquiries/applications.
❌Responding to tags on Facebook.
❌Managing this page after February 15th.

Animals don’t just need ME, they need ALL OF US. I am officially retiring from always being that “someone” ❤️
