The 3-3-3 Rule For Rescue Dogs
Adopting a rescue dog is a rewarding journey, but it’s important to understand that adjustment takes time. That’s where the 3-3-3 Rule comes in—a helpful guideline to understand what your new dog may be experiencing in their first days, weeks, and months at home.
🐶 What is the 3-3-3 Rule?
3 Days – Decompressing
Your new pup is likely feeling overwhelmed. They may be scared, unsure of their surroundings, and hesitant to eat or interact. Give them space, quiet time, and a predictable routine.
3 Weeks – Settling In
You’ll start to see their personality emerge. They’re beginning to feel safer and more comfortable. Training can begin gently. Be patient with any behavior issues—they’re still learning your expectations.
3 Months – Feeling at Home
By now, your dog knows this is their forever home. Bonds are formed. Routines are understood. Trust is built. This is where the real magic begins.
✨ Every dog is different, but the 3-3-3 Rule is a great reminder to let them go at their own pace. With consistency, love, and patience, your rescue pup will become the loyal companion you both dreamed of.
🐾 Thank you for choosing adoption and giving a dog a second chance!

Our donors are vital to STBTR.

!!!!!!!!!!Just In!!!!!!!!!!!!!
********MEET DASHER********
He’s a male, weighing in at about 20–25 lbs, and he’s as cute as he is clever. He’s dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other pups, but he doesn’t seem to be a fan of cats, so a feline-free home would be best.
He walks very nicely on a leash and loves getting out for some fresh air. He is quite the escape artist, though, so he’ll need a secure yard and someone who can keep a close eye on him—he’s got a Houdini streak!
He is not yet fixed, but that will be taken care of prior to adoption.
If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, and spirited companion, this little guy might be the perfect match!

Thanks today go out to our foster, Robin, for seeing a need, and our rescue friends Sabrina and her friend Whitney for grabbing this guy out of the shelter in Abilene today. We saw the need but had no one close. We are fortunate to have friends in rescue who will jump in to help even when it’s not convenient. This pup is seeing a vet to get this eye taken care of because of them. Y’all are Lefty’s angels today.

🐾💛 National Senior Dog Month Spotlight: Panda! 💛🐾
Meet Panda, the most gentle, loving senior girl you could ever hope to meet. At her age, she’s mastered the art of calm companionship — no puppy chaos here, just quiet love, loyal eyes, and a heart full of gratitude. 🥰
Panda enjoys simple pleasures — cozy naps, slow strolls, and being near her favorite humans. She’s great with other dogs and has the sweetest soul. Seniors like Panda still have so much love to give, and adopting one means gaining a devoted best friend who already knows how to enjoy life’s peaceful moments. 🌸
Let’s celebrate Panda and all the amazing senior pups out there! 🐶💕
Panda is also wishing everyone a wonderful Tuesday full of tail wags and happy hearts! 💫

🐾💜 Celebrating National Senior Dog Month with Shiloh! 💜🐾
If you’re looking for a dog with zero drama and all the love — Shiloh’s your girl! 🌸 This sweet senior is as easygoing as they come. Her foster says she’s the absolute easiest foster they’ve ever had — calm, gentle, and perfectly content to just be near you. 🥰
Shiloh loves cozy naps, quiet companionship, and living life at a relaxed pace. She’s the kind of dog who reminds you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful moments. 💕
If your heart (and couch) have room for a sweet, low-maintenance companion, Shiloh would love to be your forever friend. 🏡🐶

Adopting a senior means gaining a loyal best friend who’s calm, grateful, and ready to fill your days with unconditional love. 🐶✨

😍🐾 Isn’t Rollie the most absolutely handsome boy?! 🐾😍
Just look at that face — those eyes, that smile, and all that charm! 💕 Rollie isn’t just handsome, though… he’s also sweet, playful, and ready to steal your heart (and maybe your spot on the couch 😆).
He loves other dogs, is great with kids, and is always up for some fun or cuddle time. 🐶💖
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect mix of good looks and a golden heart — Rollie’s your guy! 🏡✨
