🐾 Understanding the Heartbreak: Why Some Dogs are Returned to Shelters 🐾 At Border Tails Rescue we pour our hearts and souls into matching our furry friends with loving forever homes. Every wagging tail and hopeful bark fills us with joy as we witness the magic of adoption unfold. However, despite our best efforts, we occasionally see some of our beloved pups return to our shelter doors. It's a reality that often brings tears to our eyes, but it's one we must confront with honesty and empathy. We want to shed light on the reasons behind these heartbreaking returns, not to place blame, but to initiate a dialogue and perhaps even spark change in the way we understand and approach pet adoption. Here are just a few of the reasons we've encountered: Despite the pain and disappointment that comes with each return, we remain steadfast in our mission to find every dog their perfect match. We believe that every dog deserves a second chance at a loving forever home, and we'll continue to work tirelessly to make that dream a reality. To all our supporters, adopters, and volunteers, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your unwavering support sustains us through the challenges and reaffirms our belief in the transformative power of love and compassion. Together, let's continue to advocate for the well-being of our four-legged friends and strive to create a world where every dog is cherished and valued.

✨ Super Senior Pug Intake ✨ We need your name suggestions for this senior 🥹🤍 We're delighted to introduce you to our latest intake, a senior pug with a heart of gold.

Estimated to be between 15-17 years old, this super senior pug has already captured our hearts despite facing health challenges such as dry eye, dental issues, respiratory concerns, and mammary masses. But through it all, her resilient spirit shines bright, especially when she's singing her heart out. Today marks the beginning of her new journey with us. After receiving essential care from our veterinary team, she's settling into a foster home where she'll receive all the love and support she deserves. We don't know how long she has, but what we do know is that we'll give her all the time she needs, ensuring her remaining days are filled with comfort, compassion, and endless cuddles. Join us in sending all the love and positive vibes her way as she embarks on this new adventure. 💖🐾 #BTRFamily #RescuePug #SeniorLove
