Operation Saves

Everyone keeps asking about the puppies. The fluffy dogs. The doodles. The toys breeds but what about all those dogs that don't quite fit those molds?

Dogs like David who wait day in day out patiently bringing his toys to the staff dreaming of the day he gets his forever family.

No applications. No meet-and-greets. No one asking if he's available. David has gotten not one application which baffles me as he is such an incredible unicorn of a malinois. Beautiful,smart, dog friendly, eager to please. He checks all the boxes yet he sits day after day

David doesn't know why either....

He only knows he's still waiting for someone to choose him.

Please help us share David's story. His forever family may be just one share away. 🐾❤️

It costs nothing to share David's story.

Meet Sydney!

Sydney is the amazing human behind the scenes who keeps our facility running like a well oiled machine! She is truly one of the most helpful, hardworking, and kind people I've ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with and we are so blessed to have her. I wanted to formally introduce her so here she is! She is the best. Here is a quick little autobiography from her🩷

Hi, I'm Sydney!
I've been with operation saves since November of 2024. But I was the Facilty manager for Toledo Pet Farm in 2013 and 2014 also. I love my job! I love watching the progress of our rescue dogs. Seeing them come in scared and often they don't know how to even be a dog because of their life history. I really enjoy slowly getting to know them and working them out of their shells. I've now watched at least 5 rescue dogs go through our rescue from intake to final adoption and yes, I cry every time. It's so rewarding to watch a DOG go to their forever home after working with them and helping them gain confidence in themselves and humans. I just genuinely enjoy helping others, humans and animals alike.

Outside of my job I'm a mom to my 7 children. Yep that's right 7! I also have an XL American bully named Carl and my very bossy king Charles cavalier, Eloise! I'm also a writer and will be publishing my first book on Amazon this year! My family and I are always ready for a good adventure together!

Thank you everyone that has donated to operation saves, we truly cannot express enough how much we appreciate you. If you ever come in you'll hear me telling all of our dogs I love them. Don't make it awkward if I tell you I love you too when you're dropping off or picking up your fur baby, I'm just a human that's loves everyone!

Doggie daycare is such an amazing way for dogs to run, play, and be social!

Daycare services help with boredom, potty training, helps curb unwanted behaviors at home like chewing and destruction. Best part is the dogs come home tired!

Just another way we are doing our best to keep dogs in their homes and doggy daycare helps those who work long hours or need some extra help throughout the day.

This most handsome hunk of adorableness is Odin!

Odin did not have the best start in life. He was found alongside his littermage emaciated to the point it was unsure if he would make it however the shelter he was rescued by nursed him back to health and he has done remarkably! With kindness, proper vet care, and good food he thrived! He is full of life and looking for his forever family.

Odin is now 10 months old and such a wonderful guy. He may be a puppy but is a old soul 🥹 gentle and inquisitive he just adores people and wants to be with humans. He bonds deeply and loves nothing more than to be near you.

Odin loves car rides! He walks well on lead, loves other dogs, is kennel trained, and working on basic commands. He is a staff favorite and deserves the very best forever home.

Odin is a petite boy and although he was guesstimated to be a great dane mix with dwarfism caused by his emaciation we believe he is just a medium sized heinz 57 lol whatever he is he is pure perfect!

🐾 Adoption Update: Shelly 🐾

Nothing makes us happier than hearing how our alumni are doing, and Shelly's latest update absolutely made our day!

Since finding her forever home in Michigan, Shelly has been putting in the work and thriving alongside her family. She has officially graduated from obedience school and is now a regular member of a daycare play group, where she gets to socialize and have fun with her canine friends.

Her family shared some impressive milestones, too: Shelly can now relax quietly in her crate, and she has gone an incredible 62 consecutive days free-roaming in the house without getting into anything she shouldn't (if you got the privilege to meet her while she was with us you'd understand how impressive these are). Most importantly, she's living her best life and continuing to grow into an amazing companion.

We know that rescue is a journey, and stories like Shelly's remind us that patience, dedication, and love can make all the difference. We are so grateful to her family for giving her the chance she deserved and for sticking with her every step of the way.

Thank you for choosing adoption. Seeing Shelly happy, loved, and thriving is exactly why we do what we do. ❤️
