We want to thank everyone for making this Christmas miracle possible! It is tremendously hard to find a home looking for the addition of a dog, that doesn’t already have an existing dog residing within it. Thank you to everyone who helped share the courtesy plea we made for St Joseph Animal Control Rescue for a dog named Nova. Thank you to everyone who reacted, commented, and shared that post, Nova found her forever family! If the smile in this picture doesn’t say it all, read what her adopter sent us as an update.🥹❤️

“On our drive home from the shelter last night. She was shaking so much at first, but she was so eager to come with us. She settled in well on the almost 2-hour drive home. She’s so well behaved, but she’s clearly been through a lot. All she wants is love and company. She’s settled well into the house. She has caused zero problems. She’s fully crate trained and house trained. Doesn’t even seem interested in getting into things she shouldn’t. She’s such a good listener and people pleaser. She just wants to be with her people as much as possible. She’s been interested in the cats, but they’re still warming up to her. My daughter loves her, and she loves my daughter. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog or a better situation for her.”

🎄❤️ Santa Paws 2025 Was a Huge Success! ❤️🎄
What an incredible day! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who brought their furry friends out for Santa Paws. This was our largest photo event yet, doubling last year’s participation. Your support helps us continue our mission of Changing Lives Through Animal Welfare, and yesterday you helped make a real difference. 🐾✨

We are thrilled to share some of the wonderful photos from the event — the smiles, the paws, the festive spirit… it was pure holiday magic. 🎅🐶💚

A special shout-out to Andrew Hardin and Aaron Heim for their amazing work helping with photos all day. Your talent and energy made everything run smoothly.

And of course, Pawportunities wants to thank our entire volunteer team — from setup, to greeting families, to keeping everything organized — you made this the best Santa Paws ever. We couldn’t do any of this without your dedication, heart, and teamwork. ❤️🐾

📅 Mark your calendars now… Santa Paws 2026 will be December 5th!
We can’t wait to do it all again next year — bigger, brighter, and filled with even more holiday cheer.

Thank you again to everyone who came out, supported, donated, volunteered, and celebrated with us. You are the reason animals get the second chances they deserve. 💚✨

🎄❤️ Hang Hope on the Tree This Holiday Season ❤️🐾
This year, our Pawportunities Christmas tree is shining with something truly special — handmade ornaments featuring the sweet faces of the rescue pets who have touched our hearts this year.

Each ornament represents a life we’ve had the honor to save… a story of resilience… a second chance that only happens because of compassion from people like you.

Some of these precious faces — like Shamrock, Wolfey, Luna, and Pearl — are still waiting for their forever homes. Others have been lucky enough to already be curled up with their new families this holiday season.�But every ornament holds a story worth celebrating. 💚✨

When you take home an ornament, you’re not just decorating a tree…�you’re helping write the next chapter of a rescue pet’s life.
Your support directly provides:
�🐾 Warm shelter�
🐾 Medical care�
🐾 Full bellies�
🐾 Second chances
And most importantly… hope.

✨ A special thank you to Kathlyn Hardin, who lovingly designed and carefully hand-crafted each ornament. Her creativity and heart helped bring this idea to life, and every detail reflects the compassion behind our mission. We are so grateful for her dedication to the animals and this project. ❤️🐾

As you prepare your home for the holidays, we invite you to hang one of these beautiful ornaments on your tree — a reminder of the love, resilience, and magic that saving a life brings.

🎁 Suggested donation: $20 per ornament�🎁 SPECIAL HOLIDAY OFFER:6 for $100 (save $20!)�🎁 100% supports animals in need�
🎁 Pick your ornament in person at our shelter location 1113 NW Knox St in Blue Springs

Let’s fill this season with compassion, connection, and joy.�Let’s hang hope on the tree — together. 💚🐾

Animal Angels Network has reached out to see if we can help a precious senior named Jingle. This 9 year old, who weighs about the same, had an owner who has been in and out of incarceration. Ultimately she was left behind at a trailer park- OUTSIDE! In the cold.😭 She’s just an itty old bitty.😞

She was severely underweight, and in awful condition. We are told that pictures don’t come close to doing her condition justice, and that she’s 1,000 times worse in person. We would love to help her, but in order to be able to do so, we need either a foster or foster to adopt home for her. We want her to know what real, actual care and love are. Can you or someone you know be her hero, by opening up your heart and home to her?🙏🏼 Please private message us if you’re interested in being jingles savior.

This adorable 2-year-old sweetheart is the perfect sized companion and an absolute joy to have around. Street Tacos came to us after being abandoned with her five puppies. She was the sweetest mama to her babies, and now she is ready to find her forever family!

Street Tacos can be a tiny bit timid, but give her about two minutes and you’ll see her whole body wiggle with happiness. She loves to snuggle and is happiest with people close by!

She has a great, balanced energy: playful and full of silly hops, dances, wiggles, and an adorable submissive smile… but she also settles beautifully and is calm and easygoing in the home.

Street Tacos would love a canine buddy who enjoys playtime. She’s very respectful of the resident cat, offering him polite wiggle-butts whenever he’s around.

On leash, she’s a star… unless a squirrel decides to make an appearance! Then she taps into her inner athlete. She appears to be housebroken. Just an all around great dog!

Please share this post to help Street Tacos find her forever home.🙏🏼
