Happy Gotcha Day, Jubilee Jade šŸ–¤Five years ago a teeny tiny, deaf and blind puppy came into our lives..and she came in like a wrecking ball. She quickly learned commands, how to walk on leash and how to navigate our home. She also learned how to open the cabinets and doors, jump the gates and escape her crate. It didn’t take much time for her to earn the nickname The Creature but it did take nine long, exhausting months before she finally slept through the night for the first time. She started with an all pink nose and now has exactly 5 freckles. Each year she gets one new freckle and I get a bunch of new gray hairs thanks to her antics šŸ˜† Jubilee is resourceful, inquisitive and ridiculously smart. She loves to explore and does so with an alarming amount of confidence. She also loves to steal things. She’s excitable and energetic and makes a game out of everything. She has to be touching someone at all times and *must* be as close as physically possible. It’s honestly really hard to describe her - she’s interesting and unique and unlike any other dog I’ve ever met. Five years later and I’m still in awe of her. Watching her navigate the world the way she does, literally and figuratively, is nothing short of remarkable.

Reggie says THANK YOU all for the love and support! He had exploratory surgery at UF on Wednesday and they didn’t find a foreign body after all. However, they did remove substantial amount of infected tissue from his inner thigh/groin area. He was discharged Friday evening and he’s doing well so far. I can’t believe how well he’s getting around considering . These guys are so stoic. He’s on quite a few meds and his surgical site has to be hosed and flushed daily, which he (understandably) doesn’t enjoy. That hasn’t been fun for either of us, but if it were the minis I guarantee I’d have been kicked already šŸ˜…
The next few weeks will be telling. We can’t say definitively what the source of the infection was/is, so we also don’t know whether or not it’ll fully resolve. We’re hoping for the best and as always, we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has donated, shared or sent well wishes.

Coming to you all with a big ask for a big guy šŸ™šŸ¼ We need to get him to UF, where he can be seen by a specialist, and donations are needed. As we’ve shared in the past, Reggie came to us with a mysterious infection in his groin area which we’ve been monitoring closely. He has a scar in his rear end where it looks like he was impaled at some point in time and there’s suspicion he may have a foreign object (splinter, piece of fencing etc). We’ve done multiple rounds of antibiotics and the infection improves but ultimately comes back. It hasn’t seemed to bother him overall and his bloodwork has been relatively normal. Out of the blue he’s developed massive swelling, so much that he’s having trouble walking. I’ll spare you the details but the infection is draining from numerous areas that aren’t very pleasant and he’s very uncomfortable.
He was started on meds immediately and after discussing with multiple vets, our only option is to humanely euthanize or haul him to UF where they’re fully equipped to treat him. The infection is in a very sensitive area with a lot of arteries and blood vessels. Between that and his age/size, there’s no way to safely sedate, evaluate, or treat him in a field setting.
We’re looking at $350 to haul him to UF, which I am covering personally. $800 for diagnostics and an evaluation with then surgeon. If he is a candidate for surgery, that would ultimately require more funds.
I realize this is a big ask. There’s a possibility we get him there and they say there’s nothing that can be done, or maybe it turns out he needs a surgery that isn’t safe and/or feasible but at the very least, he deserves a chance. He’s a fighter and he’s come such a long way in just three months, I can’t just give up on him.
He’s scheduled to go in Tuesday and we’re hoping to at least raise the initial $800 by then. For now, we’re praying the meds bring him some temporary relief and that we have an uneventful weekend šŸ™šŸ¼

Mama Brie came to us in horrible shape (see last photo) with her six nursing puppies. Despite the condition she was in, she took amazing care of them and has been loving and trusting from day one. All of the little cheeses have been adopted and this beautiful girl is ready for a forever home of her very own.
Brie is 2-3 years old and super easy going. Her foster describes her as sweet, snuggly and playful. She’s house trained, crate trained, great on leash and friendly with people and other dogs. She enjoys walks, playing with toys and other dogs but she isn’t overly energetic and is more than happy to chill. Brie is amazing and so easy. She’s going to make someone very happy!

Adoptable Doug, quite possibly the best boy to ever exist. His gorgeous eyes, perfect smile and shiny coat will win you over in an instant but this handsome fella is more than just good looks. He’s great with other dogs and well behaved in public. He’s gentle with his toys and adores them almost as much as he adores babies. At 2 years old he’s still a baby himself but he has a bit of an old soul.
Doug is house trained, crate trained and playful without being overbearing. Snuggling is his love language and he’s looking for an adopter who will shower him with attention and doesn’t mind a 60lb lap dog.

October 1st is National Black Dog Day, a day used to raise awareness about ā€œBlack Dog Syndrome.ā€ This is the phenomenon where black dogs are often overlooked, leading to lower adoption rates and higher euthanasia rates in shelters.

How can you help? Promote adoption by sharing black dogs in rescues and shelters, educate others and help break the stigma!
