Handsome Karma is polite yet spunky, a happy little optimist with lovely leash manners! The world is his oyster and he charms everyone. We're still getting to know him, so please watch his profile on betterdaysrescue.org for updates.

Ziggy is devoted, affectionate, and is polite with other dogs. He is sweet, engaging, playful, obedient, eager to please, and bonds hard to his humans. Please share because someone, somewhere, is seriously missing out on the greatest dog! 🐾 He is absolutely lovely. Find Ziggy’s profile and BDR’s adoption application on our site betterdaysrescue.org

Happy Easter, Happy Spring! Jack has come a very long way and was part of the largest hoarding group that BDR has ever taken in. All required socialization and very special families. Jack has survived and thrives, but has always looked for his one and only (cannot manage life in a multi-person family or be required to tolerate visitors). Meanwhile he has made many friends and thrives on routine. He is the best soul! 💝

Foster homes and funding! Foster homes and donors make it possible to say “yes” when we are invited to take on a very ill dog. MIKEY is a very large young dog who had been starved and was extremely weak and ill. He was so frail and sick that there is no way he could have navigated a kennel environment.

Mikey was brought to a foster home and also enjoyed stays with an interim/short-term foster. Together, Mikey's foster families coordinated his care to facilitate his continued healing. Enter foster mom #3, who had her eye on Mikey’s profile and volunteered to provide foster care as well! She has taken on an increasing percentage of Mikey’s care and may not be able to let him move on. To be continued…!

Grateful thanks to for helping us with the significant expenses associated Mikey’s complex veterinary care!

Foster homes and funding! Foster homes make the rescue world go around! Short- and longterm fosters make the ultimate difference for rescued dogs. Two lucky dogs pictured! HENRY (chronically ill) has a fantastic furever-foster mom who oversees every detail of his health and - while keeping Henry’s limitations in mind - ensures that he experiences Genuine Fun every single day. Henry's FB and Insta handles are @ Canine Muscular Dystrophy.

Adoptable ZIGGY’s foster mom was recently away on travel, so Ziggy bunked at House of Henry! Henry loved the camaraderie of a brother, and Henry’s foster mom introduced him to local friends and fun.

Grateful thanks to Phoenix Animal Care Coalition (PACC911)11 for grants that helped us to welcome and care for both of these wonderful dogs! #

Moose is a lovely blend of Aussie and Retriever. He is a gentle, easy-going dog who loves to please. He'll be the delight of his new humans! Visit our site betterdaysrescue.org to view Moosie's profile and our adoption application.

Rose has hit her stride and is so ready for a home! When she arrived, thin and shy, it was hard to imagine her becoming vibrant and very funny. She has put on some much-needed pounds and plays so hard with the boy dogs — she often leaps right over them to change directions! She is still a bit shy meeting new people, but has a lot of verve and is quite the gymnast when she is happy to see a friend. Think: BDR’s Pearl but with a big shot of cinnamon! Rose will make her people laugh every day, she is a hoot. Her profile and our adoption application at betterdaysrescue.com

When we go quiet there’s always LOTS going on! Please consider donating this week! In addition to routine comfort and care, some significant surgeries and rehabilitation are underway. So many good things happening, but also big medical expenses that are adding up quickly. Please visit the DONATE page on our site https://betterdaysrescue.org/donate.html

Regarding Ollie, please read his story on the FOSTER page! He is a darling and will be a big boy someday!

Last but not least, we are very happy to say that we’re receiving some GREAT applications, and some very special dogs are meeting their new families! 😃

Bruce is quietly waiting for his new family. He doesn't complain -- he enjoys attention and walks and playtime -- but he would really love a real home. Bruce has lovely manners and is such a handsome, sweet, and agreeable dog. Where are his people?! 🐾
