Animals have a way of capturing our hearts and true animal lovers could never conceive of hurting an animal in any way. But for foster pawrents who have seen pups go through the worst of humanity, they can conceive the horrors that await some dogs with neglectful, terrible owners. Fighting to help save the lives of some of the cruelly treated puppos of the world, foster hoomans are truly a dime in a dozen when it comes to TLC and infinite love.

  • Recently a foster story went viral when a woman decided to take in a young pup on the verge of survival. Roo, the puppy, was only a few weeks old when she first came to 'A Crew of Rescues', but she had a slim-to-none chance of making it past her first week. Emaciated, weak, and hardly strong enough to eat her first meal, her rescue mom was determined to keep Roo alive and help her thrive as a real pup.

  • After a week of tender love and care, this twiggy little puppy transformed into a portly, adorable dog, frolicking in the yard with her foster siblings and embracing her new life as a beloved pet. I'm inspired and hypnotized by this captivating puppy's new lease on life and can wholeheartedly admit that this heartwarming story made me tear up just a little bit. So if you're looking for a wholesome tale of triumph and blissful puppy joy, keep scrolling for Roo's exciting and adorable blossoming moment into a happy, healthy doggo bursting with love, trust, and rambunctious energy.

    Introducing: Macaroon (Roo) # Were my famous last words that I needed to wait a while before we took another foster in? Yes. But, we knew we needed to step in when we saw a litter of seven puppies that were brought to the Wake County Animal Shelter in horrendous condition. RADA

    Neglecting any animal is something I'll never understand, but especially innocent puppies...I just can't comprehend it. For every moment of disappointment I felt in humanity because of this, my faith was restored, when we asked for help and donations for Roo's journey to healing.
