💜🐾 SIMON SAYS… I NEED RESCUE! 🐾💜

Simon Says it’s time to get this tiny guy out of the shelter! 🥹💜

Simon A929956 is a 1-year-old Papillon mix who weighs just 4 pounds! This little guy is scared of shelter life, and we know there has to be a wonderful rescue partner out there with room for this tiny boy. 🐶❤️

Shelters can be overwhelming for little dogs like Simon, and he needs a chance to feel safe, decompress, and learn that the world can be a wonderful place. At just 4 pounds, he may be tiny, but he deserves a big chance at a happy future! 🐾💜

Simon Says… who has room for one more little guy? 🥹

💜🐾 PAVLOVA A928444 NEEDS RESCUE! 🐾💜

Pavlova is a 2-year-old Husky who is dear to our hearts! 💜 She has an unsteady gait that may suggest cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), but that doesn’t stop her from living her best life! 🐾

Yesterday, Pavlova let us know that she loves all her doggie and people friends, but what she really wants is a true place to call home. 🥹💜

And I don’t usually say this, but I’m pretty sure Pavlova is potty trained! I’ve never seen a mess in her kennel. 🐾💜

This special girl deserves a chance at a beautiful life outside the shelter. Could your rescue be the one to give Pavlova her chance? 💜

Rescue Partner Spotlight: Misfit Mutts 🐾

TEAM Bradshaw is proud to recognize Misfit Mutts as a valued rescue partner supporting animals from Bradshaw Animal Shelter.

Rescue partners play an important role in helping create additional pathways for shelter animals by pulling dogs into rescue, providing foster placement, medical care, rehabilitation, and ultimately helping them find permanent homes. Misfit Mutts has been a strong partner in that work, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to Bradshaw animals.

We look forward to highlighting more of the rescue organizations that work alongside Bradshaw Animal Shelter and help expand lifesaving opportunities for animals in our community.

🎉 Every shelter dog deserves a birthday worth celebrating.

Today marks the start of DOGUST—the birthday month for shelter dogs whose actual birthdays are unknown. It’s a reminder that every animal deserves to be loved, celebrated, and given a second chance.

To celebrate, all dog adoption fees are FREE throughout the month of August as part of the Clear the Shelters campaign—making this the perfect time to welcome a new best friend into your family. ❤️

We’re kicking off the month by celebrating Nala and cheering on every adoptable pet waiting for a loving home.

Check out the flyer below for all the details, then stop by Bradshaw Animal Shelter and help make a birthday wish come true.

Happy DOGUST! 🐾🐕🎂

👑 Cinderella Needs Your Help

Meet Cinderella, a 4-year-old shelter dog who has been diagnosed with bilateral cherry eye (pr*****ed third eyelid glands).

Cherry eye is a common condition in dogs that occurs when the tear gland behind the third eyelid slips out of place, creating the red, swollen tissue visible in the corner of the eye. While it isn’t usually an emergency, it can cause chronic irritation, discomfort, inflammation, and reduced tear production if left untreated.

The good news? Cherry eye is highly treatable. Early surgical repair by a veterinary ophthalmologist offers an excellent prognosis and helps preserve normal tear production and long-term eye health. Because both of Cinderella’s glands are significantly enlarged, the shelter's veterinary team has recommended that her procedure be performed by a specialist to give her the best possible outcome.

Her surgery is estimated at $3,017.08.

TEAM exists to ensure treatable medical conditions don’t become barriers to adoption. When shelter veterinarians identify animals needing specialized care beyond routine treatment, donor support allows us to step in and say “yes.”

Your donation helps fund Cinderella’s surgery—and ensures we’re ready to help the next shelter animal needing specialized medical care.

If you’d like to help Cinderella and future animals like her, please consider making a donation today.

💙 Donate here: https://linktr.ee/team_bradshaw

Every dollar helps provide the specialized medical care that gives shelter animals their best chance of being adopted.
