Following Sundays adoption event, we have these amazing pets still looking for families of their own, is it you?!

Click on their pictures to go to their bios where more info can be found 🙂. And remember, if they weren't born in care, we simply don't know how old they are, we break them into age categories but there is no way to know for sure. AND, we also do not guess at breeds. Breed guessing is usually based upon a person's experience with specific breeds and then certain looks or traits will remind us of those dogs, this does not mean that is what the dog is made up of. We do not feel comfortable grabbing information out of the air. We encourage owners to do a DNA test to find out what their dog is made up of based on science 😁

Cutie patootie Jo-Jo is such a cute little girl. She loves to pounce and run around the house, do some neighborhood watch, alerts foster mom about those big dogs with horns that like to sleep in the flowerbeds and then she snuggles in with her foster brother and sister for some recharging.

If you’re looking for a sweet little thang, click on Jo-Jo’s link:

A big thank you to St. Teresa of Calcutta School for having us to their Valentine’s Day school dance for the third year! We always have an amazing time with the kids. We took puppies from an upcoming litter and sweetheart boy Poncho was delighting kids and parents all night.

We love getting out into the community, please let us know if you are having an event that we can participate in!

PS: Poncho would love to find his own family!, click here to apply for him: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/61281cc804efec330223adf0/67634a9653afffe0ad0fc725

Siblings to Donny and Dom from the previous post, are Duke the little boy with white and tan spots and his sister Dezi who’s tan w white markings. They too were able to score an awesome foster home to teach them the basics of home life that will set them up for their future.

Donny, Dom, Dezi and Duke have four more siblings to show off and all eight of them will be on the market for new homes at our adoption event on Sunday March 2nd.

Donny in black and Dom in tan are loving foster life! These two boys are of a litter of 8 pups that came in with their lovely momma Dinah, out from cold life in a free roaming dog community just in time 🥶

We will be showing off the other siblings in hopes that awesome families will attend the adoption event on March 2nd when they make their debut!

We absolutely LOVE Twinkle! She came in so shutdown and scared of any human contact.

Slow and gentle work started at our facility with a team of 45 people coming into contact with her, contact that involved understanding, gentle contact, food and treats and she started to unravel. Twinkle started going out for leash walks to experience the neighborhood sights and smells and some days when there was more traffic she chose to head back but those moments of hesitation quickly faded and we saw the twinkle in her eyes.

She joined in with playtime with other dogs and we saw a silly flirty player emerge and progress to eager acceptance of other dogs and any visitors that came on those days.

Twinkle attended her first adoption event a few weeks ago and after spending about 15 minutes of controlled anxiety in a quiet corner, she couldn't help herself haha, she had to say hi to the people and venture around the room saying hi to the other dogs, it was so beautiful to watch.

Twinkle has since joined a foster family, loud teenagers, tv images to watch, and a foster brother Max to keep her entertained and give her all the confidence that everything in the home is normal.

We can't wait to get an application from a loving and fun family, another dog in the home is a must to continue giving Twinkle her confidence and help her really settle into herself and her new life.

Playtime fun
Playtime fun

You know those people who might show up to a social function but don’t really want to be there and they kinda stay aloof and non interested…..then an outgoing person starts showing them attention and they let the day go, let loose and have some fun?….thats Melody. She is a beautiful slim long dancer legged black and white dog who is quiet and chill and seemingly pretty uninterested in the goings on…..until she meets a nerd dawg like Ruston and he was able to annoy her enough that she really let loose and had a great time playing with him. Puppies Dutch in brindle and Deacon in black were also enjoying playtime with the big dogs

Ava and Motley
Ava and Motley

Ava came to us months ago with no, none, zero dog skills. She seemed very hesitant and not knowing what to do so she would simply ignore another dog. We worked Motley out with some of his other playmates til he was a bit tired out and did about a dozen sessions where he and Ava would just hang out together. We had a break thru with little Ava, finally! We got to see a little silly goofy girl finding her playful side. This was a huge boost to us. We never pressure the dogs to interact, we want the dogs to have appropriate exposure, always respecting their thresholds and it paid off big time for Ava and Motley. She will need a home where a resident dog will respect she needs time to unravel and find her fun. **Also, much credit, love and good boy to Motley who showed such great patience with Ava, he truly has amazing dog skills and smarts.....sometimes with the smarts haha. Such a fun young boy.

Teddy Time
Teddy Time

Racheal and her partner Ryan got into a lazy bit of Teddy chewing. Ryan and Racheal are two wonderful dogs that we had the pleasure of helping over a year ago. They came in as skeletons, bodies caved in and emaciated. We have over double their weights, cared for their wounds, and gave Racheal much needed eye surgery for horrendous cherry eye in both eyes. We would love to find them a home together knowing that’s a huge ask, huge as in they are huge too!

Big Teddy
Big Teddy

We let our majestic beasts have a turn with the big Teddy. Racheal in black is a stuffy slayer and we expected a lot more fluff to be flying but maybe she’s just warming up. But it gives you an idea of just how big this teddy is! 13 little dogs crawling all over it in the video we posted a few weeks ago or Racheal who weighs in at a glorious 102 pounds. Enjoy and the happiest of Thanksgivings to all, especially our amazing team of volunteers who have been giving up a bit of their holiday weekend to ensure the dogs get lots of love and attention. 💕

Big Teddy!
Big Teddy!

We have been having such a great time getting to know our 13 small dawgs. Volunteer Stacey had donated this giant teddy bear a few months ago and we set it aside with no real plan for it as with a giant Teddy, comes a giant amount of fluff to pick up! We dragged it out for the smalls today and man, we were not disappointed, even the wind couldn’t damper their joy and minds were blown! Enjoy!

Little Dawgs

We’ve been overwhelmed with the newest additions to our program. So many adorable babes needing baths, nail trims, love, cuddle seshs and all we can give. Interested in fostering?, we would love to hear from you!
