Dog breeds Miles would get: an archive of many of Miles’s foster boys and girls. You could call our home somewhat a halfway home, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

His owners called him “old and aggressive.” He was only 6 and just wanted to be loved 💔

Finn had spent all six years of his life chained outside when his owners got a younger dog and wanted him put down. But when @sidewalkspecials took him in, Rachael couldn't believe the affectionate dog in front of her had really spent his entire life on a chain. Dodo producer @valentinathedodo shares how Finn finally got his chance at a real home, with a family who already had a very familiar-looking Sidewalk Specials alum.

Complete strangers covered his entire vet bill within 24 hours 🥹❤️

Brookies was badly injured after being attacked by a much bigger dog, and his family couldn’t afford the surgery he needed. But when Rachael from @sidewalkspecials asked the community for help, people came together to cover his entire vet bill within 24 hours. Dodo editor Tarang shares Brookies’ incredible recovery.

Last week, our Driven By Nature team was back in the field with @sidewalkspecials for another sterilisation clinic.

From collecting and transporting animals to distributing food and lending a hand wherever needed, we were glad to be part of the work happening on the ground.

A heartfelt thank you to the Sidewalk Specials team for welcoming us back and for the care and dedication you bring to every clinic.

We’re looking forward to joining you again this week! 🐾

They knew earning Tessa’s trust was going to take time 😅❤️

Dodo editor @valentinathedodo shares the story of Tessa, a spicy senior who wanted absolutely nothing to do with her rescuers. @sidewalkspecials worked with her family so Tessa could stay at home while still getting the care she needed, and kept showing up no matter how much she growled at them. When Tessa eventually needed a safer place to live, the relationship they'd built with her family meant they were finally able to take her in. Now she’s looking for a family who understands her needs and will love her exactly as she is ❤️

Tessa is available for adoption in South Africa. Help support Sidewalk Specials rescue more dogs like Tessa. Click the link in our bio to learn how 💗
