📢 FOSTER FAIL FRIDAY

After 7️⃣ months in her foster, Sweet Pea now known as Zoey is officially a FOSTER FAIL 🥹🐶

Sweet Pea found herself dumped in Brunswick county where a community member did their best to help keep her safe and later got her put into our rescue. 🙏🏼

Sweet Pea has found herself the MOST perfect home with her foster, and we cannot imagine a better outcome ❤️🐾

📢 PSA— PLEASE READ ‼️

🐶On behalf of many rescues and shelters: When you adopt a dog from a rescue, we microchip the dog to us. We have stated in our adoption application that if for any reason you need to surrender your adopted dog, we will immediately take the dog back… and WE MEAN IT.

Emmy’s adopter decided to not notify us that she was not working out in her home. Emmy never received a professional consultation on her behavior. Emmy was taken to a different shelter and was likely sent to euthanize because of her alleged behavior.

🐾 We at Empowering Pawz are here to tell you, we DO NOT give up on our dogs. We provide resources and help if needed! 🐾

We recently learned of a story of a dog brought to a shelter and euthanized because of his alleged behavior which no one from the original shelter or foster had experienced and he was euthanized … we are GRATEFUL 🙏🏼 for our shelter partners for getting Emmy was back to us…❤️🐾

But Emmy is PERFECTLY fine in the right environment. She is p.e.r.f.e.c.t 😍 Carolina Dog Training & Advocacy is where Emmy was immediately brought to. And Emmy is shining bright like the perfect girl she is 🌟

🩷Happy early Valentines Day from our very own VAL! 💕

If you’re looking for a lowkey snuggler 🥰 - Val is hoping you’ll pick her to be your families VALentine 💘!

🩷 Val is an approx 3 year old bully mix who has got a low energy level, and enjoys her walks and naps - walk 🦮, nap 😴 and repeat and she’s the perfect cozy girl!

🩷 Val has been fostered with kids 🧒 , cats 🐈 and other dogs 🐶 - and as long as any potential adopter understands management in the household while she gets used to a new home and surroundings - she’ll be perfect!

🩷Val is crate trained, and any adopter needs to recognize the importance of a crate being a safe her space! Val is just the greatest girl!!

😍🥹 Another FOSTER FAIL announcement 📢

Polly came to us on the Euth list after being in a shelter for far too long. This girl absolutely adores everyone, she has the best demeanor and she deserved so much better than the fate she had been given 💔

Well, that life is officially over for Miss Polly! She has a comfy bed, a family that ADORES her and a beautiful future ahead! 👏 Happy Tails Polly and congratulations to her FURever family for hitting the jackpot with this amazing doggo! ❤️🐶

🐾🍀Handsome and sweet guy, LUCKY is officially accepting applications just in time for Valentine’s Day 💘! Who could not want that face and those ears everyday?!

🍀 LUCKY is an approx 2-4 year old hound/pointer mix who found himself on the Euthensia List 😔. We can’t figure out why as this boy will make a great companion and just loves his people once he trusts. A couple things about Lucky- he will need a patient adopter as he is still tentative about new people and situations. He is getting better with car rides and learning how fun it can be to be a doggo! We believe 🍀 Lucky was an “outside dog” only so he is also learning what it means to be an inside lovebug! Lucky is :

🐾 Working hard on house training and getting better and better!! He will need a Scheduled routine to keep up the good work 👏🏻!
🐾 He does GREAT in his crate and sleeps well through the night!
🐾 Very smart and treat motivated
🐾 Quiet in the house and content being loved by his people!
🐾 Learning to walk on a leash and even visits the ocean!
🐾 He bark at some dogs on a leash but is dog friendly playing in the yard with his doggo friends🐶! Really he just loves his people!

🍀🐾🍀 LUCKY deserves the best home as he’s been through a lot and has been in the shelter environment since early September. Let’s find this boy his perfect forever home with a perfect family who will be so lucky to have him!

Guess who is OFFICIALLY ready for Adoption?!? You guessed it! DANNY BOY (aka Elvis) 🐾🎶

Danny Boy came into rescue approximately a month ago as he was awaiting his heartworm treatment. He has completed his treatment and is fully vetted!

Danny Boy’s Story 📖
✏️ Found emancipated on the side of the road in Georgetown County, barely able to lift his head. An amazing community member took him in, got him healthy enough for vetting and sought out our rescue to help in completing Danny Boy’s mission to find his FUREVER home 🏡

☑️ Dog Friendly!
☑️ Enjoys exploring!
☑️ All people friendly!
☑️ LOVES to eat!
☑️ The best couch cuddler!
☑️ House trained!

If you’re looking for an older boy with s***k, please consider Danny Boy! He is sure to make the best addition to any home! Fenced in yard required!

🔊 To all Community Members and our Shelter partners-

We are unfortunately closed for intake until at least 2/24. We are saddened to have to post this, but we’ve had too many fosters backing out and/or not able to continue fostering the pups they originally committed to 💔 Our Directors will be taking this time to re-evaluate our processes and we are excited for the improvements we will be making!

Our first and foremost priority is to support the foster volunteers that we have that commit their time to supporting our mission. As a 💯 percent volunteer based rescue, we have realized that we are in need of volunteers on multiple levels as we’ve grown much faster than anticipated!

If you’re interested in learning more about our volunteer opportunities, please contact us via messenger or email us at [email protected]

We are in need of the following:
🚘 Transport Assistance: taking Foster pups to vet appointments, picking up dogs from shelters, taking foster famalies supplies…
☎️ Follow-Up Calls: Making follow up calls to foster volunteers and adopters after getting a pup.
🎪 Event Help: Taking dogs out for walks, cleaning up and assisting at our adoption events.
💰Fundraising: Assisting with making calls to local businesses to gain support with fundraising activities, raffles and supporting adoption events.

Please reach out if you’re interested in learning more! We are grateful for the impact we have made so far in only 1️⃣ year and are excited for the amazing things our group will accomplish in the future 🐾
