This .....🐶

I rescued a human today.....

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.

I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.

Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.

I would promise to always be by her side.

I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.

So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.

So many more to be saved.

At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.....

Here's a fun little fact about our furry pals: while dogs can devour just about anything, there are certain foods that can turn them from happy pups into not-so-happy campers! 🚫🍫

Take grapes, for instance. You might think they're a healthy snack, but they're actually a big no-no for dogs. Just a handful can lead to kidney failure! 😱 And don’t get me started on chocolate—because, let’s be real, if dogs could have a sweet tooth, chocolate would be their first choice! 🍫 But it’s a serious danger.

Xylitol, often found in sugar-free gum and some peanut butter, is another sneaky ingredient that can wreak havoc on a dog’s health. It drops their blood sugar and can lead to liver failure! Yikes!

So, next time you're enjoying a snack, remember to keep those toxic foods away from your pup. They may give you those puppy-dog eyes, but trust me, it’s better to stick to doggie treats. 🥳🍖 Let’s keep our furry friends safe and sound!

Unconditional love 🐶💗

I sometimes wonder why dogs are so good to us.
We don’t deserve it, not really. We’re flawed, selfish creatures, stumbling through life, yet there they are, offering us something pure, something real.
They love us without conditions, without asking for anything in return, just happy to be by our side. Maybe it’s because they see something in us we can’t see in ourselves, a goodness we’ve forgotten or buried under layers .
They don’t care about our mistakes, our shortcomings they just see the person who feeds them, who takes them for walks, who sits quietly beside them in the dark. And somehow, they make us better, just by being there. They remind us that there’s still something worth loving in this messy, chaotic world. Dogs don’t hold grudges, they don’t judge—they just give.
And maybe that’s the lesson we’re too blind to learn: that being good isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, day after day, with a heart wide open, no matter how many times it gets bruised.
