This is Zephyr. He is a professionally trained bed bug detector. When he recognizes the scent of live bed bugs, he gives an alert by sitting and smiling exuberantly at his handler. His process is quick and noninvasive, which helps locate infestations efficiently and allow for swift treatment. Zephyr performs routine inspections at apartment buildings, libraries, hotels, and senior care facilities, but he’s also been called out when someone has been bitten and needs his help, or when they’re moving to a new place and just want peace of mind. “The craziest place he’s had to go sniff about was at a zoo because they were in their computer hardware!” his human told us. We’re pretty sure no one has ever been more excited to find bed bugs in their life, and we love that he found his passion. 13/10 (follow @emmercrew)

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (follow @jaktlabben.finley)

This is Radley. She needs extra mental stimulation sometimes, so her family started “structured destruction” after a recommendation from her trainer, and it quickly became one of her favorite pastimes. “She gets plenty of walks and physical activity,” her family told us, “but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos.” 13/10 (follow @radley_barkley)

This is Oliver. He just can’t win. First they light his food on fire, then they laugh at him for blowing it out. On his birthday no less. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: la_cabrita_kelly)

This is Moses. He and his human were on a morning walk when a bobcat came out of nowhere. “I thought it was a coyote because we don’t have bobcats around here,” his mom told a local news station. She suffered a scratch on her arm before the bobcat turned to go after Moses. “I kept saying, ‘Go, go, go, go,’ to Moses … wanting him to get away.” But Moses stood his ground, letting his human get away before killing the animal. Bobcats normally stay far away from humans, but this one was acting aggressively because it had been infected with rabies. Fortunately, Moses was up to date on his rabies vaccine, so while he’s quarantining at home for several weeks, he’s expected to be just fine. His mom said, “he’s the hero of the day.” We agree, so we’re awarding him a 15/10 ❤ (credit @wsfa12news)

This is Big Boi. He was transferred into the care of our rescue partner during the California wildfires in January of last year. Dogs like him were moved to rescues with available space so local shelters could take in pets displaced by the fires.

Since his arrival at @theanimalpad, Big Boi has had one ear infection after another. When his last infection wouldn’t go away, vets took a culture test that found an antibiotic-resistant bacterium that causes painful, chronic infections.

He will likely require a Total Ear Canal Ablation and Bulla Osteotomy to relieve his pain, but first needs a dermatology specialist to assess the severity of his condition and determine if surgery is the best option. With your support, we’ve committed $12,000 to his care to ensure he receives everything he needs to live comfortably. 
 
In the meantime, we sent him balloons to celebrate his sponsorship. He wore his best bandana to the photoshoot, and even jumped through the hoop of the number zero balloon to mark the occasion 🎉

This community continues to inspire us with its compassion and commitment to dogs like Big Boi. Thank you for making milestones like this possible! We’ll pupdate you on his journey here ❤️‍🩹

[EDIT: fully funded in 53 minutes! Link updated to help other dogs in need] This is Jodie. She was found alone as a stray at only 9 weeks old, lethargic, with pale gums, diarrhea, and a loss of appetite. Her symptoms are consistent with parvovirus, a life-threatening disease that requires emergency hospitalization. Our rescue partner was called just 10 minutes before the shelter closed to save her from euthanasia. She now needs multiple days of supportive care to survive, including blood transfusions and a feeding tube to keep her nourished. You can help us cover her lifesaving care through the link in our bio ❤️‍🩹

Thank you to @caitiesfosterfam for rescuing her. Follow @1510foundation for pupdates on Jodie and the rest of our fundraiser dogs 🤗
