🚨 PLEASE DON’T SCROLL PAST THESE FIVE LIVES. 🐾💔 Yesterday was supposed to be a new beginning. After everything these dogs have been through, they were finally given a chance to move from the shelter toward foster care and, hopefully, forever homes. But their stories are not all the same — and some of them are still running out of time. Meet Chucky, Cookie, Murphy, Oliver and Teddy. Five dogs. Five different journeys. But all of them deserve the same thing: A safe place to call home. 🐾 CHUCKY & COOKIE Good news — their adoption is now clear to move forward. There is no adoption fee for either of them. Only the standard pre-adoption fee and the necessary care/needs for the dog would apply. They have already spent enough time waiting. What they need now is someone who sees their little faces and decides, “I’m going to be the person who finally takes you home.” Please don’t let the fact that they are now safe make you think they no longer need help. Safe is not the same as home. 💔 OLIVER Oliver is still facing uncertainty, and we are desperately trying to keep his story moving in the right direction. Thankfully, half of his transportation cost has already been paid, bringing him one step closer to getting where he needs to be. But we still need help with the remaining needs of his journey. Oliver doesn’t know about transportation costs. He doesn’t know about applications or deadlines. He only knows that people have come and gone, and he is still waiting for someone to make sure he is okay. And if he cannot move forward, his life remains at risk. 💔 MURPHY Murphy is currently under reserve, but we have not seen the next step completed yet. That means we still don’t know if the person who expressed interest is going to continue. If you were interested in Murphy, please don’t wait. Submit your application through the website linked in our bio and continue with the next step. A reservation means nothing if the process never moves forward. Murphy needs certainty. She needs someone to say, “Yes, I’m coming for you.” ❤️ TEDDY And Teddy’s story has a beautiful update. Teddy has been successfully adopted. He is NOT waiting for a home anymore. 🥹❤️ But adoption doesn’t mean everything suddenly becomes easy. Teddy is showing signs of fear and is still struggling to trust people. After everything he has experienced, his new family understands that he needs patience. He needs time to learn that people can be kind. That a hand reaching toward him doesn’t have to hurt. That a home doesn’t have to be temporary. That when someone says, “You’re safe,” they can actually mean it. So Teddy is being given the time he needs to understand this new life before he is fully settled into his next chapter. And that is what rescue should be about. Not just saving a dog from a shelter — but helping that dog learn how to live again. ❤️ Now we need to do the same for the others. If you are watching this from New Jersey or somewhere far away, please know that out-of-state adoptions are welcome. 📍 We are located in New Jersey. 🌐 Our website and application are linked in our bio. If you can adopt, please apply. If you can foster, please reach out. If you can donate, even a small amount can help with transportation and the care these dogs need. And if you cannot do any of those things, please SHARE this video. Because sometimes the person who can save a dog’s life is not the person watching right now. It’s the person who sees it because you shared it. Please leave their names in the comments: CHUCKY. COOKIE. MURPHY. OLIVER. TEDDY. Let people know they are not forgotten. Let their names travel. Let someone see them. Because these dogs are not asking for a perfect life. They are asking for one chance. One warm bed. One safe home. One person who won’t give up on them. Teddy has his chance. ❤️ Now let’s fight to make sure Chucky, Cookie, Murphy and Oliver get theirs too. 🐾 REPORT. SHARE. COMMENT. DONATE. FOSTER. ADOPT. Please don’t let their stories end where they started. 💔 #Chihuahua #puppy #PitBull #dogsoftiktok #fyp - @purrpawanimalrescue
