1/17/26 Meet Barron, a 5-year-old boy who ended up at a shelter in Melbourne after he got hit by a car. His owner couldn’t afford treatment, but thankfully, the X-rays showed no fractures—just some scrapes and bruises. He’s on antibiotics now, and his wounds are healing well. Barron's such a sweet and adorable dog! We're currently assessing how he interacts with other dogs to get a better sense of his personality. Since he came from a shelter, we’re not sure how he feels about cats yet.Not every dog is available for adoption or need a foster - some are wards of the rescue (usually due to medical reasons, but sometimes behavioral). These dogs will always be supported by DRL. We welcome financial support for these dogs. Here are links to foster and adoption applications for those dogs who need a foster home or adoptive home.
