FREEDOM RIDE ✨🐾
 Rick & Enoch made it out of Devore Shelter just in time — both were hours from being euthanized. 💔 Because of our incredible fosters, networkers, and donors, these two boys got their second chance at life. 🖤

🐶 Rick is a one-of-a-kind heeler with a facial deformity that only makes him more special. Despite the neglect he’s endured — including an embedded collar that left his neck raw — he’s nothing but love and sweetness. He’s now safe, healing, and will be seeing our vets soon for continued care.

🐾 Enoch, a pitty mix, was suffering with a bad URI and feeling so sick in the shelter. Thankfully, we got him out in time. He went straight to the vet, received all his meds, and is now resting and recovering thanks to an amazing donor who covered his initial medical costs.

Both of these boys were saved at the very last minute — proof of what’s possible when our community comes together. Thank you to everyone who helps us save the overlooked and forgotten dogs who deserve a chance to live and be loved. 🐕‍🦺💛

Please consider donating or fostering so we can keep saying yes to dogs like Rick & Enoch. Every share, donation, and foster truly saves lives! 🖤🐾 #lendabone #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogrescue #savedbythevillage by @lendabone

🐾 Meet Luna! (aka LuLu, aka the Energizer Bunny) 
Saved from euthanasia at Devore Shelter a couple months back, Luna is ready to start her happily ever after! 🩷

This goofy, happy girl is full of love and personality. She’s always excited to see you and never says no to cuddles — whether it’s on the couch or while out for a walk. Luna walks beautifully on leash and is even great off-leash, with a built-in recall that’s impressive for her age!

She’s a smart cookie too — currently learning commands in Spanish and already has “come” and “paw” mastered. Luna adores playtime with her foster sister (a 5-year-old pit mix) and is completely fascinated by cats — she lives with two senior cats and just wants to play!

Because she’s still working on some resource guarding, Luna would do best (for now) as the only dog in the home. Cats are totally fine, and she loves kids — she’s lived part-time with a 5-year-old and was a total sweetheart.

To top it all off, she’s got an extra dew claw on her right foot — a built-in good luck charm! 🍀

If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal, fun-loving companion with endless affection to give, Luna might just be your perfect match. Reach out to meet her! And if you can’t adopt or foster, please share or donate. It all helps! 💫 #lendabone #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedog #adoptme by @lendabone

Brownie is ALIVE and FREE! 🥹

We are beyond thrilled to share that Brownie was saved just seconds before it was too late. Her kennel card had already been pulled—she was literally next in line for euthanasia. But thanks to a last-minute offer from a foster, we were able to step in, contact the shelter, and let them know she had a safe place to go. This was a true miracle save.

Brownie is already showing us what a sweet, loving, and amazing girl she is. She’ll need to be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped before she’s ready for adoption, but if you’re interested in giving this beautiful pup her forever home, don’t wait—reach out to us!

As always, if you’re not able to foster or adopt, please share her story or consider making a donation. Every little bit helps and directly supports life-saving efforts like this one. We’re currently on an intake hold, but with your support, we hope to lift that soon and keep saying YES to dogs like Brownie!

Thank you for standing with us. We truly can’t do this without you! 🐾🖤 #LendABone #FosteringSavesLives #AdoptDontShop #RescueDogsRock by @lendabone

The compassion you’ve shown us has been overwhelming ❤️ Every message, share, and donation reminds us we’re not alone — and neither are our dogs.
But we’re still in a fragile place. We urgently need donations and new fosters to keep our doors open. The next few days are critical.

Meet Luna 💜 aka LuLu, our little Energizer Bunny 🐰✨ She’s a happy, wiggly goofball who loves to cuddle, walks beautifully on leash, has great recall, and is already learning commands in Spanish. She’s great with kids, okay with cats, and would thrive as an only dog while she works on some resource guarding.

Luna has LOTS of energy and needs an active foster or adopter ready for adventure + snuggles. She just needs stability and someone willing to meet her where she’s at.

If you can foster, adopt, donate, or share — it makes a huge difference 🐾

To everyone who has donated so far, shared our post, reached out with kind words, or offered to foster… your support means more than we can ever fully express. When things feel heavy and uncertain, it’s you who remind us why we keep going.

You have no idea how much hope this gives us. That said, we still URGENTLY need more donations and additional fosters to keep Lend A Bone going. We are still struggling, and the days ahead are critical.

Over the next days, we will be posting each of our dogs individually who are in urgent need of placement, whether that’s a foster or a forever home. Every open spot, every share, every donation helps lighten the load and brings us one step closer to stability.

The first pup we want to introduce is Cash! 🩵

Cash is a coonhound mix with the sweetest soul. He is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and deeply loves his people. He’s very smart and picks up commands quickly, is house trained and crate trained, and has a calm, easy-going personality that makes him a joy to be around.

Cash absolutely loves playing tag with his buddies Oso and Duckie — the three of them will run around endlessly, chasing each other and having the best time. He would make an amazing companion for someone who enjoys traveling, being outdoors, or just having a loyal best friend by their side. Cash is a true lover boy — he gives hugs, seeks affection, and has a way of looking at you that radiates pure, unconditional love.

Cash is more than ready for a forever home, but even a foster would mean the world to him right now. He deserves stability, comfort, and someone to see just how special he is.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Cash — or helping in any way — please reach out. And if you’re unable to do so, sharing his story can make all the difference.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping us keep our promise to these dogs. We are holding onto hope because of you 🐾🤍 #lendabone #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #rescue #dog #help

✨ Mars is STILL searching for his forever home! ✨

Mars is a sweet, soulful husky who was rescued from Devore’s euthanasia list alongside Denali — who has since found his happy ending. Now it’s Mars’ turn to find the loving family he deserves 🩵

Mars is around 2 years old and truly has the best heart. He’s great with all people, including kids (who he absolutely adores 🥹), and he’s wonderfully social with dogs of all sizes and even cats. He loves connection and thrives on affection.

This sensitive, intelligent boy is food-motivated and eager to please. With time and support from our trainer, Mars has come out of his shell beautifully. He is now fully house trained, potty trained, and crate trained, and has excellent manners both at home and out in the world.

Mars is leash-trained, does great on walks, and is also trained in off-leash recall up to ¼ mile. He enjoys playing with toys, spending time outside, and going on hikes. While he’s generally low-energy and easygoing, he lights up during playtime and adventures.

An added bonus — Mars is naturally alert and will bark to keep coyotes away while outside, which has been such a comfort and allows smaller dogs to safely enjoy the yard. 🐺🚫

Mars truly checks all the boxes and would make an incredible addition to almost any home 🏡

If you’d like to meet Mars, please reach out or submit an adoption application through our website. He’s ready to love his forever family endlessly 🥹🩵

🐾 If you can’t adopt, please consider sharing or donating. Every share helps, and every donation saves a life!

Merry Christmas from our rescue team and some of our pups 🎄🥹🐾

Our hearts are so full this Christmas. We truly cannot put into words how grateful we are for the love, kindness, and support you show us every single day. Especially today we’ve had several people donate and it’s all incredibly helpful. Because of you, dogs who once had no hope are given safety, healing, and a second chance at the life they deserve. This work is only possible because of this incredible community ❤️

We are especially overwhelmed with gratitude for one of our former adoptive/foster families—who we love dearly—who stepped in and donated to cover the remainder of our $2,500 match… and then went above and beyond. Their generosity brought us to happy tears, and we cannot thank them enough for continuing to stand by us and the dogs we fight for. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do.

While this blessing means so much, the need never stops. We are still desperately in need of donations, fosters, and adopters to continue saving lives. Please keep sharing our posts, opening your hearts and homes, and supporting us in any way you can. Every act of love truly matters and helps us keep going.

From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our rescue family. Merry Christmas and endless love from all of us and the pups 🐶🎁 #lendabone #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #rescuelife #christmaspups #adopt by @lendabone

We’re still struggling to stay afloat, and we know how hard the holidays can be for everyone ❤️

Please know that every bit of support we receive means the world to us — because we truly could not save the lives we do without our community.

At Lend A Bone, we take pride in saying yes to the dogs that aren’t always “easy” — the ones who need extra medical care, time, training, and rehabilitation. That commitment comes with higher costs, but it’s also why these dogs get a second chance.

To continue this work and keep going, we urgently need donations. If you’re unable to give right now, sharing our posts, fostering, or simply spreading the word makes a huge difference and helps more than you know.

🎄 Right now, all donations are being matched up to $2,500 — but only until Christmas. If you’re able to give, any amount truly helps and goes twice as far during this match.

Donate ⬇️ Venmo: @lendabone CashApp: $lendabone PayPal: link in bio

Bojji is getting adopted🥳❤️ This boy is so incredibly special and deserves nothing but love, treats, toys, and belly rubs 😊 I am honored to have been part of his story and humbled by his incredible resilience and loving, trusting nature despite everything that he's been through. Please consider opening your home to an urgent shelter dog. There are no words to describe how amazing it feels to help one of these beautiful dog's stories continue beyond the shelter. We love you Bojji ❤️🥰

Adopt Chunky! 🤩

Chunky, who we rescued a couple months ago from euthanasia, is ready for adoption and searching for his forever family! 🏡❤️

Chunky is the ultimate chill companion—he just wants to be wherever you are. He’s like a little bodyguard who’s happy to follow your lead and keep you company.

Some facts about Chunky ⬇️

• Great on walks: He does well on a leash and loves getting out to explore. He’s a total Mr. Nosey—ready to greet everyone and check out what’s happening around him.
 • Couch potato + cuddle king: He absolutely loves relaxing on the couch and soaking up snuggles.
 • Car-ride enthusiast: Hanging his head out the window is his absolute favorite.
 • Smart boy: He even knows how to give high-fives!
 • Treat lover: Strawberries and apples are his top snacks.
 • Mostly house-trained: He does excellent when foster is home—they have a great routine. When they leave, he’s crated with a diaper on just in case they’re gone longer than expected.
 • Crate trained: He loves his crate and happily naps or plays with his toys inside it.
 • TV buddy: The Sopranos is his comfort show—his fosters put it on for him when they’re out.
 • Play style: He plays a bit like a little football player—fun, goofy, and a bit rambunctious.
 • Kids & dogs: He doesn’t have experience with babies or small children, and he’d likely do best as the only dog in the home.

• Chunky is currently with a foster in Southern CA

If you can’t adopt, please share to help Chunky find the loving forever home he deserves! And donate to allow us to save more lives like his 🩵🐾 #lendabone #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslive #adoptme #rescuepup by @lendabone

🧡 We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 🧡 
We’re feeling incredibly grateful for this community — for every share, every donation, every kind word, and every single person who believes in our mission to save dogs from euthanasia. Your support truly keeps this rescue alive and helps us give overlooked pups the second chance they deserve.

Thanks to you, we’ve now raised $513 out of our $1,500 goal, and our amazing donor is matching every contribution— but only until the end of this week. If you’re able to give or share, it will make twice the impact for the dogs depending on us.

From our rescue family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for helping us save lives! All the pups in this video are available for foster or adoption, reach out if you’re interested in giving any of them a forever or temporary home during the holidays 🐾🧡 #lendabone #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslive #dogrescue by @lendabone

✨ Update: Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve now raised $419 of our goal. We are beyond grateful for every donation, share, and kind message — your support truly keeps us going.

We also have amazing news: our donor has extended the matching deadline by an extra week and increased the match to $1,500. That means every dollar donated right now goes twice as far toward saving more dogs from euthanasia.

If you’re able to give, even the smallest amount makes a huge difference. And if donating isn’t possible, fostering or sharing our posts helps more than you know.

Thank you for helping us continue this mission and save more lives 🥹🩵 #lendabone #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #donate #rescue

Dogs in photos are Thanos, Oso & Duckie, and Cash all looking for foster or forever homes 🏠❤️
