🐶❤️ ME!❤️🐶 These kiddos are now available for adoption and are hoping and praying to find wonderful furever families for the New Year. Adoptions are almost nil, folks, so can we please show these guys some love? The more comments, likes and these kiddos get, the better the algorithm gets and the more likely it is that their families will 👀👀 them and fall in 🥰 We can't save more until the ones we have go home!

ALL of our adoptable dogs are:
✔️ Spay/Neutered
✔️ Microchipped (free lifetime registration)
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Tested H/W Neg if over 6 months
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ Come home with 30 days of medical insurance
✔️ Come home with their "things" to help them settle into their new home. ❤️

Please check out our website (link in comments and on pictures) to read their individual bios, watch their videos, and apply to adopt today!

💜 SABLE PUPDATE! 💜 after two looooooong weeks of tranquilizers, pain meds, antibiotics, cold compresses, and wearing a cone so that her vulvoplasty surgery could heal, this soul dog is finally FREE to be a dog again, and she took full advantage of how good she's finally feeling! 💜 No more recurring vaginitis for this little darlin'!

We have to give a HUGE shout out to PRAR adopter and first-time foster mom, Deb, who doted on Sable during her recovery and brought her through this surgery with flying colors 🥰 👏👏👏👏

Kody at Denver & Front Range Weather (our most trusted weather guy) says we are expecting some nasty-blowy wind tomorrow, folks. Gusts of 60-70mph are possible on the eastern planes and along and west of I-25. MAKE SURE YOUR GATES ARE SECURED WITH A PADLOCK SO YOUR DOGS DON'T GET OUT!! Also, you should prolly ratchet down all the other crap in your yard that you don't want to give to the neighbors the next block over. (I'm l👀kin' at you, trampoline owners)!

And please, for the love of dawg, don't let them itty-bitties out alone. This year has been bizarre enough. We don't need flying chihuahuas for our season finale. 😳

😍 DAT FACE!! 😍 I spent some time with wittle teeny baby Rudolf today and OMGGGG what a little lover 💞💞💞 Hard to imagine that he and his siblings were unceremoniously stuffed into a box and left outside the city shelter.

12/29/2024

💚 HAPPY TAILS! 💚 Our sweet girl, Reese, picked her furever family! Her last owner dumped her out on a busy highway and never came back for her. Today, she went *HOME* with a wonderful family who is already madly in love with her, and so is their pooch, Hank! Go live your very best life, baby girl! We will love you forever!! 🥰

Thank you, Mama Cathy, for saying *YES* to letting Reese crash with you for a couple weeks while we found her perfect hoomans! 🐾🥹

Ronald loves it, I think young puppies will, too. Teenagers trying to act cool on a video chat with friends don't love it so much. 🙄 Mom is having a GREAT TIME with it, tho... BUBBLES!! 🫧🫧

💚 FREEDOM RIDE! 💚 Everyone, please help us welcome Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, V***n, Comet, Cupid, Dawner, Blitzen, and Rudolph to safety! These bitty nuggets were left on the doorstep of an already over-full animal shelter without their mama. 🥺 With great thanks to rescue partners at Gracie's Project and transport angel, Glenda, they are here and celebrated their very first Christmas with full bellies and surrounded by love, warmth, and LOTS of kisses. 🥰

The ONLY reason these babies are alive today is because caring individuals worked together to get them out and keep them safe! Thank you, Jackie, Victoria, and Catherine, for saying YES to giving them a temporary home while we work to find them responsible forever homes. 💜

Thorne is checking in to say Merry Christmas to everyone! He hopes you are enjoying time with family, and he * really hopes* that someone out there will make him a part of their family soon. 🥰

12/25/2024

Here's a fun little game... 🎶 Change A Christmas Song! 🎶 I'll start us off with, "A stray in a manger..." now it's your turn

Merry Christmas, everyone! We hope your day is filled with love, peace, and lots of slobbery kisses. 🐶❤️

P.S. if you need some slobbery kisses in your life from a loving, gorgeous, faithful, ride-or-die, snuggly little boo - please consider adopting a dog who needs you as much as you need them at Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue. 💜🥰

🩵🩷 We are on BABY WATCH! 🩷🩵 I don't get completely GOBSMACKED often, but it happened today. The ONE thing you can count on in dog pregnancy is that every pregnancy is different. is full of surprises. This morning, she refused breakfast, which is very uncharacteristic of this chow hound! Then she started piddling often and in small amounts, which made me think... uh, oh, is she getting a UTI? I then took a temperature to see if she had a fever indicating an infection... Her temperature was 98.5 😳 A temp drop like that in a pregnant dog is indicative of the progesterone shift that begins stage one labor. 😳😳

At that, I was very fearful that she was going into preterm labor. I packed Mama up, and we rushed to CVSG for a consult with the maternal fetal medicine specialists.

I won't go into the horrific scenarios running through my head that had me nearly vomiting in the client room. I'll jump ahead to the juicy stuff.

Elfia is in labor with ONE little Christmas elf. ONE. That explains a LOT. It explains why she doesn't LOOK pregnant. It explains why we are only just beginning to feel movement. It explains how she can be so far along but is giving 7(ish) week vibes.

We are RACING to get the private pen, equipment, and whelping box set up, while also trying to work around the intake of 9 additional dogs into rescue this afternoon.

I will be monitoring her every hour to see when the temp starts to come back up so we can better gauge a whelping time frame. For now, we are expecting one little miracle pup to make its grand entrance within the next 24 hours.

There are concerns regarding a singleton pup, I'll go into that later. Right now, we're in *sh*t-sh*t-sh*t-go-go-go* mode.

12/23/2024

💜 Pupdate!💜 We've got fetal movement! 😍 Elfia is doing very well, settling into a life of leisure and love at home base. 🥰 She weighed in today at 15lb 2oz! She's gained 1lb 11oz since she arrived at PRAR on the 8th, though you wouldn't know it by looking at her. She was a Skinny-Minnie when she was removed from the shelter, but her shelter records don't indicate an intake weight for comparison.

Elfia is now entering / in her 3rd trimester, and this is when we see explosive growth in the pups. They will increase about 75% in weight during this time! On par - her belly is now beginning to fill out. We should see between 15% and 25% weight gain in Mama during the last few weeks, so a total gain of 2.02 to 3.38 lbs.

There are incredible demands for energy and additional nutrition now, what with growing wittle wiggly ones. That being said, abdominal space is at a premium as the pups begin to rearrange her internal organs. 🙄 She's now getting several small meals per day on top of the pre-natal vitamins that she started last week. She's also getting some all-natural, easily digestible schnacky-schnacks to ensure we're hitting all of her protein, vitamin, mineral, and caloric needs.

She was dewormed today and will be again every 2 weeks until the pups are weaned. I can go more into the 'why' behind that if anyone wants additional info.

This week, we will set up the whelping box for her to start getting used to, but I don't expect she'll want to spend any time in there yet. As pregnant dogs do, she's become very clingy and does not want to leave my side. Ever. She won't even eat if I'm not standing right there with her. 🤦‍♀️ She is a snuggle bug and cuddles in (like velcro) in bed at night, which I don't mind one bit! That gives me opportunities to lie quietly with her, my hand on her wittle tum-tum... waiting to feel the flutter of the puppy nuggets. That finally happened last night! I felt movement in two distinct spots.

When she gets a little closer to whelp, we will get her in for an x-ray to try to get a count on how many we are expecting and to ensure they will fit through her tiny pelvis. Remember, she's an itty-bitty thing and we don't know how big the daddy was, which can increase the risk for complications during whelp. 😳

❤️ADOPT THORNE! ❤️ SOUL DOG ALERT!!! World, meet Thorne! This 11-month-old mixed breed masterpiece is a walking oxytocin boost waiting to happen. One look into his deep, soulful eyes, and you’ll feel like he’s downloaded your life story, flipped through the pages, and decided, “Yep, you’re my person.” His face is a work of art with THE most incredible markings, and his fur? It’s tan-and-white velvety perfection. And those eyes... seriously, they’ll hit the love button in both your brain and his!

Thorne isn’t just a looker—he’s the whole package. This sweet, curious boy has an unmatched love of life. He’s an active boy, always ready for playtime, zoomies, or exploring the great outdoors. (think hiking, running, adventure ride-or-die bestie!) He’s the life of the party whether it’s with dogs twice his size or the tiny pups he gently matches energy with. He's on the cusp of adulthood, but still has some puppy left in him, and he's figuring out the rules as they come. Quick to redirect, Thorne’s already mastered the art of learning boundaries (mostly).

House Manners? ✔️ Fully potty trained and has no problem hanging solo for hours without any accidents. While his humans are proactive about getting him outside, Thorne hasn’t needed to signal—it’s all been smooth sailing!
Crate Training? ✔️ Thorne’s got that down too.
Leash Walking? ✔️ He’s learning to walk like a champ and only needs a little redirection when other dogs catch his attention.

Thorne LOVES all the toys—stuffies, chew bones, and anything that vaguely resembles a plaything (yes, holiday décor, he’s looking at you!). He’s still perfecting his fetch game but excels at entertaining himself when his humans are busy.

And oh, the cuddles! Thorne doesn’t believe in personal boundaries. He’s a certified lap dog who loves sprawling across you like he’s the most luxurious blanket ever made. Sleep? Thorne’s idea of perfection is curling up in the nook of your arm with his head on your chest or pillow, as close as possible to his favorite humans. And kisses?

Thorne’s goofy side will keep you laughing for days. He’s like a toddler with a favorite blankie, always wandering around with a stuffie or bone dangling from his mouth. And every time he sees you—even if it’s been five minutes—it’s the most exciting moment of his life!

Thorne is more than just a dog—he’s a SOUL DOG. Folks, soul dogs don't come around too often, so get your application in for this keeper ASAP! He’s a loving, cuddly, goofy, smart, and affectionate companion looking for his perfect forever family to love him as much as he will love you!

Please this wonderful boy and help him find the family he was always meant to have! You can read more about him, watch his videos and apply to adopt him on our website at www.pawsitiverestoraitons.com
