Retired to Rescue, Las Vegas, NV (2026)

Do you have a desire in your heart to help dogs? ❤️ To make a difference in our community? To literally be the person who changes a dog’s life forever? If yes, WE NEED YOU🐾

Fostering is one of the most rewarding things you can do. By simply providing love, safety, and a temporary home, you’re giving a dog a chance they may not otherwise have had. ❤️

🏡 We are currently seeking foster homes in the Las Vegas area only.

✅ We provide all medical care
✅ We provide supplies
✅ We provide support and guidance
❤️ You provide the love

🐾 BETTY WHITE & BILL MURRAY 🐾

These sweet 10 year old Olde English Bulldogs came to us from the shelter last night. While we don’t know their full story, we believe something unfortunate may have happened to their owner, leaving them alone for days before Animal Control became involved.

There were originally three dogs surrendered. Sadly, the third dog did not survive an emergency surgery she needed at the shelter. 💔 We don’t have details on what happened😔

We believe Betty and Bill are bonded siblings who have spent their entire lives together. Their reunion after being separated at the shelter was one of the most emotional things we’ve witnessed in a long time. 🥹

They are currently in a temporary foster home, but we urgently need a foster willing to take BOTH dogs together. At this time, we are looking for a home where they can be the only dogs or safely separated from resident dogs until we learn more.

🐾 BEYONCÉ & POCAHONTAS 🐾

These beautiful Frenchies are breeder surrenders who are still waiting to come into rescue.

Beyoncé (the chocolate girl) needs an only-dog foster home, as she only gets along with her daughter. Pocahontas (the black and tan girl) is dog-friendly and can be fostered separately or together.

We are desperate to secure placement so we can bring these girls into rescue before they are bred again.

🙏 Please share this post.
🙏 If you’ve fostered for us before, we’d love for you to share your experience in the comments.

Every foster home opens a space for us to save another dog.

Today we welcomed three new rescue dogs into our care, including one surprise last-minute addition. ❤️

Meet Posey, a sweet Frenchie who was found as a stray in active labor with two very large puppies stuck inside her. Sadly, the puppies did not survive, and the shelter performed an emergency C-section to save Posey’s life. Despite everything she’s endured, she is incredibly sweet and is settling in nicely. Her body is still recovering, and her swollen milk-filled mammaries are a heartbreaking reminder of the babies she lost. She does seem dog friendly so far and is looking for a foster who is comfortable monitoring her during her recovery.

We’d also like you to meet Betty White and Bill Murray. We originally requested Betty after reading notes that she had been stuck in her own f***s for nearly a week before being surrendered. Her notes mentioned two companion dogs, but we couldn’t find them online. Then late last night, Bill appeared on the shelter website, and we immediately requested him as well. How could we leave any behind!

Unfortunately, the third dog who came in with them underwent emergency surgery when she arrived at the shelter and did not survive. 💔 We were not informed of the circumstances that led to her needing surgery. While we’re heartbroken for her, we’re grateful that Betty and Bill made it out safely.

These senior sweethearts appear very bonded and find a lot of comfort in each other. We’re still getting to know them, but we’d love to find a foster home willing to keep them together.

Tomorrow all three dogs head to the vet. Bill has a large mass hanging from his chest that is actively bleeding and needs immediate evaluation. We are urgently raising funds for tomorrow’s veterinary visit, diagnostics, and treatment. Every donation helps.

If you’re in the Las Vegas area and can foster any of these pups, please fill out an application through the Linktree in our bio. We provide all medical care needed and supplies.

Tonight they are safe, warm, loved, and finally getting the chance they deserve. ❤️🐾

💔 Another week goes by and the adorable Winnie is still looking for her forever home…🥺

This sweet girl has been with us for months, and while we’ve watched her blossom into an incredible dog, we’re sad that no family has chosen her yet. Winnie deserves so much more than waiting. ❤️

If you have no other dogs but you have kids and looking to add a companion, this girl is FOR YOU! Winnie LOVES children🥰

Winnie came to rescue as a breeder surrender after spending nearly five years living a very sheltered life. When she arrived, she was one of the shyest dogs we’ve ever taken in. She was insecure, unsure of her surroundings, and didn’t seem to know what it was like to simply be a beloved family pet.

Fast forward to today, and thanks to her amazing foster families, Winnie has completely come out of her shell. 🌸

She is playful, affectionate, silly, and so much fun. She loves toys, loves playing fetch, and loves being with her people.

✅ Potty trained
✅ Crate trained
✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Ready for her forever home

One of Winnie’s favorite things in the world? Kids! ❤️ Both of her foster homes have had young children, and she absolutely adores them. While she doesn’t need a home with kids, she would make an amazing family dog.

Winnie is dog-friendly but selective. Winnie would much rather play fetch with her humans than wrestle with another dog all day. 🎾 She is looking to be someone’s one and only pup! But she also isn’t going to be outwardly reactive or aggressive towards dogs, she’s just more of an independent girlie🥰

And let’s be honest… she’s absolutely adorable. 😍 This black-and-tan fluffy Frenchie is a total showstopper.

📍 Adoption Fee: $650
📍 Located in Las Vegas, NV
📍 Out-of-state adoptions welcome, but adopters must pick her up in Las Vegas within 10 days of agreeing to adoption.

Before applying, please make sure everyone in your home is on board with adopting.

Applications can be found via the Linktree in our bio or at www.retiredtorescue.org.

Please share. Winnie has waited long enough and deserves to finally know what it feels like to be home. 🏡❤️🐾

🚨🐶 INCOMING TOMORROW! 🐶🚨

Our summer of saving bulldogs continues! ❤️ Tomorrow evening we’ll be welcoming TWO incredibly deserving girls into rescue, and we couldn’t be more grateful to give them a second chance. 🥺🐾

🌸 Posey 🌸

Posey is a tiny French Bulldog who was found as a stray weighing just 21 pounds. At the shelter, it was discovered she was pregnant with two puppies who had unfortunately already passed away. 💔

French Bulldogs require C-sections to safely deliver puppies, and Posey’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of the consequences of irresponsible breeding. She never should have had to endure this. 😔

We’ll be picking her up tomorrow and getting her to the vet on Thursday so she can receive the care she needs. ❤️

🤍 Betty White 🤍

Betty White is a 10-year-old English Bulldog who was surrendered to the shelter with two other dogs. We don’t know her full story, but we do know she arrived dirty, neglected, and in need of medical care. 💔

Despite everything she’s been through, this sweet senior is finally safe, and we’re committed to giving her the love and care she deserves. 🥹❤️

🏡 BOTH GIRLS NEED FOSTERS IN LAS VEGAS!

We’re hoping to have foster homes lined up by Friday and will share more about their personalities in the coming days. We also have additional dogs waiting to come into rescue and desperately need more foster homes.

❤️ Please make sure that ALL members and people living in your home are agreeable to fostering BEFORE applying.

💸🐾 It’s $5 Friday! 🐾💸

The rescue has been BUSY lately, and the expenses just keep coming. 😅

In the last few weeks alone, we’ve welcomed multiple new dogs into rescue, completed several spay and neuter surgeries, and covered extensive veterinary care for some very deserving pups. ❤️

One of our biggest unexpected expenses was Moira’s emergency pyometra surgery. What we thought would be a routine spay turned into a life-saving procedure costing over $1,400. Unfortunately, we raised very little toward that bill. 😔

Then there’s our sweet Toad. 🐸❤️ After X-rays and diagnostics, we learned that he doesn’t have any fractures, dislocations, or past trauma. All four of his legs are simply severely deformed. The good news is that his bloodwork looked great! 🎉

Our next step for Toad will be a consultation for palate surgery because his breathing is very concerning. This happy little guy is finally safe, out of the shelter, and living his best life—and he deserves to breathe comfortably too. 🥹🐾

We have BIG plans for June and hope to save even more dogs, but we can’t do it without your support. 🙏

🏡✨ TAKE THEM HOME TUESDAY ✨🏡

How is little Zipper still waiting for her forever home?! 🥹❤️

This tiny girl is the TOTAL package. She’s adorable, affectionate, dog-friendly, people-friendly, and ready to be someone’s best friend. 🐾✨

Zipper is approximately 2-3 years old and came to our rescue after being found abandoned and wandering with an English Bulldog who has since been adopted. While her friend found a home, sweet Zipper is still patiently waiting for hers.

Since arriving in foster care, Zipper has absolutely thrived. 🌟 She loves going on walks, does great going outside to potty, and enjoys spending time with her foster family. She adores her foster dog sister and loves to play, cuddle, and be part of the action. She also has a special bond with her human foster brother. ❤️

Honestly, Zipper would fit into just about any loving home. She would do well with other dogs, kids, adults, or anyone looking for a sweet companion. She’s easy to love and impossible to resist. 😍

And can we talk about those adorable little dark markings on her tiny toesies?! 🐾💕 We are completely obsessed.

Zipper is spayed, fully vetted, healthy, and ready to find her forever family.

📍 Adoption Fee: $800
📍 Located in Las Vegas, NV
📍 Can be adopted out of state
📍 Adopters must pick her up in Las Vegas within 10 days of agreeing to adoption

Before applying, please make sure everyone in your home is on board with adopting.

🏡✨ Sloppy Joe is ready for his forever home ✨🏡

We are SO excited to officially announce that Sloppy Joe is available for adoption! 🎉🐾 And somewhere out there is one very lucky family that’s going to get to welcome this adorable little guy into their home. ❤️

Sloppy Joe came to us about a month ago as a breeder surrender. He was being kept on an apartment patio, wasn’t receiving proper care, and when he wasn’t successfully sold, he was surrendered to rescue.

Since then, this sweet boy has gotten a fresh start! ✨ He has been neutered, had his cherry eye repaired, is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find his forever family. 🩺✅

Sloppy Joe is approximately 6 months old and is considered a micro bully. He has a cleft lip, which is purely cosmetic and, if you ask us, just makes him even cuter. 😍

This boy LOVES everyone. ❤️ He adores people, loves other dogs, has done well around cats, and would be wonderful with children. He’s playful, affectionate, silly, and always ready for fun.

Like any puppy, he’s still learning. He’s doing great with potty training, uses his crate when needed, and is making excellent progress. Of course, any dog changing homes will need continued guidance and consistency.

If possible, we’d love to see Sloppy Joe go to a home with another playful dog. He absolutely LOVES to play and would thrive with a canine buddy who enjoys puppy antics as much as he does. 🐶🎾

We do not expect him to get much bigger, likely topping out around 35-40 pounds.

📍 Adoption Fee: $650
📍 Located in Las Vegas, NV
📍 Out-of-state adoptions welcome, but adopters must pick him up in Las Vegas within 10 days of agreeing to adoption.

Before applying, please make sure everyone in your home is on board with adopting a dog.

💔 We truly don’t understand why Winnie is still waiting for her forever home.

This sweet girl has been with us for months, and while we’ve watched her blossom into an incredible dog, we’re sad that no family has chosen her yet. Winnie deserves so much more than waiting. ❤️

Winnie came to rescue as a breeder surrender after spending nearly five years living a very sheltered life. When she arrived, she was one of the shyest dogs we’ve ever taken in.

One of Winnie’s favorite things in the world? Kids! ❤️ Both of her foster homes have had young children, and she absolutely adores them. While she doesn’t need a home with kids, she would make an amazing family dog.

Winnie is dog-friendly but selective. She takes a little time to warm up and would do best with a calm, respectful dog who doesn’t expect constant playtime. Winnie would much rather play fetch with her humans than wrestle with another dog all day. 🎾

And let’s be honest… she’s absolutely adorable. 😍 This black-and-tan fluffy Frenchie is a total showstopper.

🏡✨ TAKE THEM HOME…WEDNESDAY ✨🏡

Every week when we post Vella, we’re shocked that we’re still having to do it. Just LOOK at this face. 😍❤️ How has no one scooped her up yet?!

Vella is approximately 5 years old and is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She came to us as an owner surrender when her family fell on hard times and knew keeping her alone in a bedroom all day wasn’t the life she deserved. They made the difficult decision to let her have a chance at something better, and now we’re determined to find her forever home. 🥹💕

Vella is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, has had a full veterinary exam, and is a healthy girl. ✅🐾

This girl LOVES people. ❤️ She is affectionate, gentle, and just a kind soul. Her foster absolutely adores her. She loves her morning walks and will literally take herself home when she’s decided she’s done for the day. 😂🐶

We’ve received applications for Vella, but we’re looking for a home where she can truly thrive. While Vella is dog-friendly and has even enjoyed some playdates with our Cricket, she’s clearly uncomfortable and insecure around other dogs. We suspect she simply wasn’t well socialized. Because of that, we believe she’d be happiest as an only dog.

For out-of-state adopters, we will not place Vella in a home with another dog.

👧👦 Great with kids
🐱 Cats unknown

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love her people, Vella is your girl. 🥰

📍 Adoption Fee: $650
📍 Located in Las Vegas, NV
📍 Out-of-state adoptions welcome, but adopters must travel to Las Vegas and pick her up within 10 days of agreeing to adoption.

Please make sure everyone in your home is in agreement about adopting before submitting an application.

Apply through the Linktree in our bio or visit www.retiredtorescue.org.

Please share! 🙏 Vella is LONG overdue for her happily ever after. ❤️🏡🐾

🚨 More help needed 🚨

This just never ends.💔💔💔

Today we took Moira in for her spay surgery… and found out she had pyometra. What was supposed to be a $200 routine spay turned into an over $1400 emergency surgery.

We are beyond grateful we were able to get Moira out of her breeding situation and into surgery quickly. She had no obvious symptoms—she was eating, acting normal, and seemed completely fine. That’s what makes this so scary. We are so thankful we caught it in time 🙏🥺

We are also incredibly grateful she was surrendered to us… because without that, her outcome would most likely have been fatal.

In the last 6 months, we’ve seen 6 pyometra cases. In the previous 3 years combined, we’ve only seen about the same total. Something is very wrong.

We are seeing far too many dogs coming from breeding situations where C-sections are either not being done by licensed veterinarians—or not being done properly at all. Whether it’s improper technique or incomplete care afterward, these girls are paying the price with life-threatening uterine infections like pyometra.

Pyometra is not minor. It is deadly. 💔 There is “open” pyometra with visible discharge, and “closed” pyometra where everything is trapped inside. Moira had closed pyometra. If she hadn’t been spayed when she was, this could have turned catastrophic very quickly.

We are emotionally drained, and today’s bill is a major blow we did not anticipate.

We are so grateful for the support you’ve shown for recent dogs like the abandoned Frenchie in the yard and Toad—but we are hurting right now and truly need help getting through this one.

Adoptions are slow with summer travel season, but the dogs keep coming and emergencies don’t stop. We keep saying yes… and we will try to keep doing so —but we can’t do it alone 💔

If you’re able to donate even a few dollars, it would mean the world right now.

Please consider donating via the link in our bio PayPal (debit/credit accepted), Cash App, Venmo, or
Zelle at 725-265-0396.

Please share Moira’s story and spread awareness🐾💔
