🧀 Cheese, please!!!
Mama Brie and her littles had a rough start, found outside and in awful condition. Thanks to their amazing fosters they’re happy, healthy and ready for their forever homes!
Brie is estimated to be 2-3 years old and she is a DOLL. Very friendly with dogs and people, house trained, super affectionate and playful but not overbearing. She was horribly emaciated and overall in bad shape when we brought her in but she’s still very trusting and took amazing care of her babies. She deserves a perfect home where she’ll be loved and spoiled.
The puppies are ~9 weeks old now and their individual personalities are starting to show. They’re all very sweet and social and it goes without saying - they’re absolutely adorable.

Are you looking for a pup who’s always on the go? An agile, energetic sidekick to accompany you on your morning run? One who’s built for speed and will wow you with his athleticism? If you answered yes to any of these questions…Severus is *not* your guy 🤣

Sev enjoys the finer things in life like soft blankets and long naps. He’s completely unbothered by chaos (please refer to photo of children wrestling in background) and snores like a grown man when he sleeps. He’ll happily entertain himself with a toy or bone and he’s been practicing fetch but that dang ball manages to roll right between his feet every.single.time. 😅

He’s a total goofball his clumsy zoomies will provide you with endless entertainment. He has some puppy energy but for the most part, he’s a laid back dude who’s just trying to figure out how to use his long legs. Sev may not be winning any agility competitions but he’ll definitely win your heart…and he’ll probably steal your spot on the couch, too.

Happy One Month to Reggie! The vet was out today and was encouraged by his progress 🙏🏼 It was another costly visit ($635) and we’d be very grateful for any help replenishing those funds. I haven’t shared this publicly but at Reggie’s initial vet visit (just a few days after he arrived) we were strongly encouraged to euthanize him. We genuinely considered it. He was in awful condition and it was clear he was in pain. We chose to give him one week on supportive care before making any decisions and he’s shown us he’s not ready to go anywhere yet.

Unfortunately, he does have several ongoing medical concerns. When he arrived, we immediately noticed drainage coming from a small lesion in his groin area. It subsided after a round of antibiotics but has since returned. After assessing today, our vet feels there’s a foreign body or necrotic tissue causing the ongoing infection but it’s not an area that can be explored without general anesthesia and unfortunately, that would be really risky due to his age and size. Bloodwork is being sent off to try to determine how significant the infection is and in the meantime we’ve restarted antibiotics.

His feet are an ongoing battle. He seems much more comfortable overall but his hooves and the bones within are deformed after being neglected for who knows how long. He’ll continue to receive corrective trims every 5 weeks and he’s been started on medication for pain management.

He also had his teeth floated today and to no one’s surprise, they were in terrible shape. He had lots of uneven surfaces and sharp edges cutting into his cheeks and tongue. Poor guy was NOT a fan (note the wild eyes in the photo) but now that they’ve been filed down, it’ll be much easier for him to chew and in turn, it should help with weight gain. He does have two teeth that’ll need to be removed in the near future.

He has a long road ahead of him but we’re really pleased with his progress so far and as long as he’s happy, we’ll keep fighting for him.

C‘mon, those puppy dog eyes are irresistible!

Adoptable Sharon is a little pup with a lot of s***k. She’s a social butterfly and enjoys outings, people and other dogs. She’s respectful of cats, too! At ~5 months old she’s still less than 20lbs but she has no problem keeping up with the big dogs. Sharon would make a great brewery pup and/or adventure buddy!

On this day, THREE YEARS AGO, Big Mac got his freedom ride from . He was scheduled to be euthanized but one of our fosters was determined not to let that happen and she rushed down to the shelter to grab him (see photo #1) on her wedding day. Yep, you read that right. Three years later and he’s still with the same dedicated foster, still waiting for his forever home.
Big Mac doesn’t need much - a calm, loving home, a comfy bed to sleep on, some belly rubs and plenty of treats, please! He’ll join you for a walk if he must, but lounging on the couch is much more his vibe. If you’re looking for a guard dog, keep scrolling. Mac is the dog that immediately befriends the plumber and insists on “helping” until the job is done. As much as he loves people, he doesn’t enjoy sharing his space with other animals. He’s not reactive on walks etc. but he really wants it to be all about him (can you blame him?) and therefore needs to be the only pet in the home. This handsome fella is ~9 years old now and deserves to be the center of someone’s world in his golden years 🫶🏼

Adopted! Looking for a pup who will keep you laughing and melt your heart at the same time? Percy is a lovable Basset Hound mix with little legs and a huge personality!

He’s a happy-go-lucky, goofball who trots through life with much enthusiasm. He’s a social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people and plays well with dogs of all sizes. At 10-12 months old and 30lbs, he still has lots of puppy energy. He loves to carry around stuffies, socks, bones, blankets and anything else he can get his paws on. You can almost always find him with one of his “babies” in tow.

Percy is ready to find a forever home where he’ll be spoiled with love, treats, and plenty of toys. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy companion that’ll provide endless entertainment, this is your guy!
