Hello there, I'm Ember, a 1.5 year old terrier mix. I'm a bit shy when we first meet, but give me a little time, and I'll be your best friend. I love exploring new places and satisfying my curiosity. I'm playful too, and I'm always up for a game of fetch or a nice walk. Car rides? I'm a pro! After a day of adventure, I enjoy nothing more than curling up for a cuddle. I'm crate trained, which makes things easier for you. I may be a little reserved initially, but my sweet nature shines through once I get comfortable. Adopting me means gaining a loyal, loving companion who's always ready for the next adventure, yet equally content with a quiet evening at home. I promise, with me, your life will be filled with joy, laughter, and lots of love.

Everyone, meet our newest resident, Blair! She is one gorgeous pup, and I’ll be real honest—I was completely blindsided by her awful situation. Those haunting eyes and the sheer beauty of this girl had me doing an emotional poodle pull, and I can admit it. Blair is a hot mess. Honestly, I’m floored by what people do to dogs, whether it’s intentional or unintentional.

This sweet girl is the epitome of everything someone wants in a dog and all the things NO ONE wants: so much separation anxiety and a fear of the crate that honestly breaks my heart. But here’s the thing—Blair deserves a chance to heal and shine.

Follow along on this journey as we work together to rehabilitate this gal and find her a forever home filled with love and understanding. It won’t be easy, but every pup deserves their day in the sun. Have you ever witnessed a dog overcome difficult circumstances? Share your stories below!

Y’all have met Saylor, our beautiful 5-month-old Great Pyrenees puppy. Unbelievably, she is still looking for her forever home! This gentle giant came to us as a 10-week-old puppy but faced some tough challenges along the way, battling distemper and nearly dying. Thanks to the love and support of her foster family, Saylor came out stronger than ever and is ready to find her perfect family.

At just 5 months, she already weighs a whopping 89 pounds and is expected to grow into an XL beauty! Saylor is not only stunning but also incredibly smart and sweet. She loves her people fiercely and plays well with other dogs, making her the ideal family companion.

If you've got a big heart and space for a loving cuddle buddy, Saylor is the girl for you! Let’s help her find the home she deserves. Share this post and spread the word. If you know someone looking for a new furry friend, tag them!

Thank you to our amazing friend, Kimberly D***s for always helping capture the beauty of our foster dogs.

What makes a dog special for you? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

UPDATE: CELESTE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!

Meet Celeste, the sweetest little terrier you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing! This 10-pound bundle of sass and love is ready to wiggle her way into your heart and home. At around 4-5 years old, she’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. Celeste is all up to date on her vaccines and is spayed, so she’s ready for her new adventure!

Now, let’s talk personality—Celeste knows how to make her needs known, and she’s mastered the art of using the bathroom outside (good girl!). She’ll begrudgingly go into her crate when needed, but let’s be real, she’s not a fan of being confined for too long. After all, who wouldn’t want to strut their stuff and soak up all the cuddles?

If you’re looking for a charming companion who keeps life interesting, Celeste could be your gal. Are you ready to add a little spice to your life?

🎉 Exciting news, everyone! 🎉 Our sweet Ace, the Neapolitan Mastiff, has officially found his happily ever after! 🐾 He’ll be heading to Oklahoma to live with an amazing family who adores big dogs just like him. They recently lost their own Neapolitan Mastiff, so we know Ace will be stepping right into their hearts and home. Plus, they raise cattle! Talk about the perfect match! 🐄💕

Ace is such a gentle giant, and we couldn’t be happier that he’s going to a place where he’ll be cherished and loved. He deserves all the belly rubs, walks, and sunshine! ☀️ We’ll miss his slobbery kisses and goofy personality, but we know he’s heading to a bright, new adventure!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Ace on his journey, especially Denise Modern K9! Without your help teaching Ace some manners our road would have been much much harder. We hope you’ll join us in wishing him all the best in his new life!

🐕❤️

Let’s give Ace a big round of applause for his new chapter!

💔 Rescuers’ hearts are a powerful thing. Just yesterday, my partner firmly said, “Do not bring home another animal to this house. We are full!” Yet, in the very next breath, he sends me a picture that breaks my heart—a little kitty struck by a car on Independence Blvd. Someone hit her, stopped briefly, then callously moved her to the median and drove off. 😢

Without hesitation, his compassionate side took charge. He pulled over, scooped up this sweet baby, and rushed her to an emergency vet. She’s banged up but will survive, thanks to his quick thinking and big heart.

It’s a reminder of the struggles countless animals face every day and how crucial it is for all of us to take action when we see someone in need, even when our homes feel full. I'm so grateful for his willingness to help, despite the understandable reservations.

Let’s show compassion and always be ready to lend a helping hand (or paw)! 🐾❤️
