In November 2020, Real Time Rescue was contacted by Banning Veterinary Hospital in the Hi-Desert area. They explained that an elderly woman had called asking about euthanizing her two dogs, who were under three years old and healthy. She let them know that the reason for her call was she could no longer care for them and didn’t know what to do. Instead of scheduling an appointment, they gave them our number. Their daughter reached out to explain that she had just moved back to help her parents- her father had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s 6mos earlier and recently her mother with fibromyalgia. All three were surviving on very limited funds and the dogs, Bella & Buddy, spent their lives outside. She further explained that when her mother called a local shelter and asked what would happen to them if they turned them in, she was told if not adopted quickly they would be euthanized due to an already over crowded shelter. Her next call was Banning Vet, feeling that euthanizing them there would be the better option over a shelter taking care of it. This is a woman who did really want what was best for her dogs but didn’t have any idea how to help them with the resources provided to her. RTR let the family know we could help, but we’d have to find fosters first… and thanks to the rescue gods, we did! Bella is around 3 years old. Both she and her brother Buddy went directly to one of our trusted vets in Orange County and were given a clean bill of health and vaccinated. Both have been in foster homes since, decompressing and learning the ropes on how to live indoors. We hear Bella is a smart, loving lady, now fully potty and crate trained and ready to find her forever match! She’s a multi-talented kinda dog- both an expert cuddler and great hiker. Eager to please, she loves hanging with her people ,whatever they are up to! show less

We were introduced to 10yo Moose after looking into a message received about a dog in need that was seen chained to a car. He was actually chained to a tree with very little room to move, covered in flies with severe fly strike on both ears. Although he clearly needed our help, he did have an owner. After talking with them about what we could offer him in terms a new home, they gladly surrendered him. So after living 24/7/365 with chickens as his main companions, we're happy to say he is on his way to a better life! He has now been fully vetted, including treatment for the flystrike on his ears and an overdue dental on account of his rock chomping days. While he awaits the right foster match, he will be sleeping indoors with his own cot and clean blankets, enjoying regularly scheduled outside playtime throughout the day. As we learn more about Moose, one thing is clear- he is still learning what it means to be a functioning part of society. As a dog that has lived strictly outdoors with very little human attention and no dog socialization for ten years, we at RTR recognize that his next home will be asked to patiently guide him into this next phase of his life. He will need to be the only dog in the household and preferably based in an area where he wouldn't regularly encounter a large number of other dogs. Currently showing ribs and underweight at around 75lbs, we do expect that with the appetite we are seeing this scrawny senior should be filling out in no time. He is VERY strong and only beginning to know what it means to walk on a leash. He will need a solid routine and a bit of time and forgiveness to help with this. Are you looking to help teach an old boy some new tricks? Are you ready to show a dog what it means to be loved and respected? Let us know! show less

*COURTESY POST - THIS DOG IS NOT WITH REAL TIME RESCUE. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW* Meet Sadie! Sadie is just over a year old and is a German Shepherd/Mastiff mix. After getting her as a puppy, her owners were going to drop her off at the shelter because they were unable to deal with her now as a large adult dog. Luckily, a friend took Sadie in to foster and is looking for a forever home for her! Sadie has been super sweet with all humans so far and good with kids 10+. She is doing well with the 2 male dogs in the home but is not getting along with the female dog, all of which are medium to large sized dogs. Small dogs and cats are unknown. She loves any and all toys and is very playful . Sadie is potty trained and knows some basic commands and is a minimal barker. She was hit by a car as a puppy so has a rear leg injury that is mostly healed. It does not hinder her walking or running at all. Sadie will be getting spayed and vaccinated in the coming weeks and then will be ready for #adoption! Interested in this sweet girl? Contact Greg at 818-231-7671 or gregsdesignx@gmail.com. show less
