🚨 OLIVER’S OWNER HAS SCHEDULED EUTHANASIA FOR 4:00 PM TODAY — WE NEED A FOSTER NOW 🚨

THIS DOG DOES NOT NEED TO DIE. HE NEEDS THE RIGHT HOME.

Please take a moment to read Oliver’s story.

Oliver is a 7-year-old Beagle mix whose life has become increasingly stressful over the past couple of years. Recently, young children and a baby have been introduced into the home, and Oliver has struggled with the crying, activity, and constant stimulation. He has become anxious and frustrated, and unfortunately the situation has continued to deteriorate.

The truth is, Oliver isn’t a bad dog.

He simply needs a different environment to succeed.

We are looking for a serious foster home with no dogs, or small children, a fenced yard, and people who understand that some dogs thrive in a calm, predictable environment. As any Beagle lover knows, they enjoy following their nose, exploring the yard, and soaking up the sunshine.

Oliver spent some time up north. While he wasn’t thrilled about the car ride, once he arrived and settled into a quieter environment, he seemed rejuvenated. It was a glimpse of the dog we believe he can be when his surroundings match his needs.

We cannot bring Oliver into the shelter. A kennel environment would only increase his anxiety and add more stress during an already difficult transition.

What Oliver needs is simple: a quieter home, a little patience, and a chance.

We picture him doing wonderfully with someone retired, a couple with no dogs or young children, or a person who enjoys gardening and spending time outdoors. Oliver isn’t looking for excitement. He wants a yard to explore, a sunny spot to nap, and someone to call his own.

At only 7 years old, Oliver still has so much life left to live.

If you are serious about helping, please do not just leave a comment. We often receive many comments, but very few people complete the next step.

Please visit our website and complete a foster application immediately. Makeadifferencerescue.com

If you can help save Oliver’s life, please fill out an application and send us a private message today.

Time is running out.

Please share. Please foster. Please help Oliver.

Truman has already endured more suffering than any dog ever should. He came from a horrific narcotics situation, abandoned as just a baby, living in heartbreaking conditions and struggling to survive completely on his own.

Since entering rescue, Truman has faced one challenge after another... medical issues, a failed adoption, being returned to rescue and now devastating news: this sweet little boy needs TWO patella surgeries to repair his legs and finally give him the pain-free life he deserves.

His surgeries are estimated at approximately $2,000, and we cannot do this without your help.

Please, if you’ve ever wanted to make a direct difference in a rescue dog’s life, this is your chance. Every donation, every share, every raffle ticket matters. Truman has already survived so much. Now he needs people willing to stand behind him and help him finally heal. 🤍🐾
