Help a WDR dog start their journey feeling their best.

Coming into rescue is the beginning of a whole new world for many of our dogs—and one of our first priorities is making sure they’re healthy.

Your gift helps provide the essential veterinary care an incoming WDR dog may need, including a wellness exam, vaccinations, microchip and preventatives.

It may not be the most glamorous part of rescue, but it’s one of the most important. A healthy dog is ready for everything that comes next: settling into foster care, learning what it means to feel safe, and eventually finding a family of their own.

What Your Gift Can Provide 🐾

Wellness Exam
A veterinary check to make sure we understand what each dog needs.

Vaccinations & Preventatives
Protection to help keep them healthy as they begin life in foster care.

Microchip
A tiny chip that helps make sure they’ll always have a way home.

Give It for Someone Special

Make your gift in honor of a friend, family member, teacher, coworker—or anyone who loves dogs as much as you do.

You’ll have the option to share a digital or printable card letting them know that a gift was made in their honor to help a WDR dog get their first healthy start.

One Gift. Part of Something Bigger.

Every dog’s needs are different, and every journey through rescue looks a little different. Gifts in the First Chance Collection represent the real care WDR provides every day.

Your donation supports Warrior Dog Rescue’s overall mission and will be used where it can make the greatest difference for the dogs in our care.

For many of our dogs, this isn’t their second chance. It’s their first.

Help a WDR puppy grow from tiny to thriving.

The first weeks and months matter. Your gift helps give a WDR puppy the care they need as they take their first steps toward a happy, healthy life—including vaccinations, deworming, preventatives, enrichment toys, and medical treatment when needed.

It’s more than keeping a puppy healthy. It’s giving them the chance to play, learn, grow, and discover what it feels like to be safe and cared for.

From their first vaccines to their first toys and tail wags, you’re helping fill their earliest days with the care every puppy deserves.

Be part of their firsts—and help make their First Chance possible. 🐾

Give a WDR dog the joy of discovering just how much fun being a dog can be.

A squeaky stuffy. A ball to chase. A Kong filled with something delicious. A puzzle that makes them stop and think.

For some WDR dogs, toys and play are completely new—and watching them discover what to do with them can be pretty special.

Your gift helps provide toys, stuffies, Kongs, balls, puzzles, chews and other enrichment that keep dogs busy, engaged and having fun while they're in foster care.

Enrichment is more than just play. It gives dogs an outlet for their energy, keeps their minds working, builds confidence, and gives them opportunities to simply be a dog.

From their first squeak to their first game of fetch, you're helping fill their journey with fun along the way.

Give them a reason to play—and be part of another WDR first. 🐾

Give a WDR dog a soft place to land—and finally rest easy.

$40 symbolic gift

For some WDR dogs, a soft bed of their own is a brand-new experience. No hard ground. No cold floor. Just a warm, comfortable place where they can curl up, exhale and sleep.

Your gift helps provide a cozy dog bed for a WDR dog to enjoy while in foster care, giving them a space that feels safe and all their own.

A bed may seem simple, but to a dog learning what it means to live in a home, it can mean so much more. It’s a place to retreat, relax and begin to understand that they’re safe now.

From their first cozy nap to their first peaceful night, you’re helping give them the comfort every dog deserves.

Give the gift of a First Good Night—and be part of their First Chance. 🐾

Help a WDR dog look good, feel good,

For some WDR dogs, their first bath in rescue may be their first experience being gently groomed and cared for.

Your gift helps provide the grooming care a dog may need—from baths and nail trims to brushing, ear cleaning, and professional grooming when needed.

But it’s about more than looking good. A clean coat, trimmed nails, and proper grooming can help a dog feel healthier and more comfortable—and get them ready for those all-important adoption photos.

From their first warm bath to their first freshly brushed coat, you’re helping them leave a little of their past behind and step into what comes next.

Give a First Chance to Shine—and help a WDR dog put their best paw forward. 🐾
