For Pitties Sake

I sometimes find myself thinking about how my dog pulled me through. Not in any big, dramatic way, but in the quiet moments when life just felt too heavy. He didn’t need answers or advice to offer; he was just there, beside me, every single day. When I was worn out and ready to throw in the towel, he'd give me that little nudge, his eyes saying, "You’re okay. We’ve got this." And somehow, that was enough to keep going.

He never cared about the mistakes I made or judged me for falling short. He simply showed up, steady and loyal in a way you don’t always see in people.
There are days I wonder where I’d be without him—probably lost in my own chaos, tangled up in thoughts I can’t control. But he’s here, keeping me grounded in the simplest way. And that’s how he saved me,one day at a time, just by being there, exactly when I needed someone the most.

Rudy is on a sleepover to get a break from rescue home base. He is enjoying his time lounging around and the peace and quite of being away from the kennels. His hosts, Leslie and Dave, report he is being a good boy and an easy house guest! Video of Rudy playing in the snow in the comments.

If you are interested in adopting Rudy, please head over to www.forpittiessakerescue.org. Rudy is great with other dogs, unsure of cats.

ADOPTED!

Hi, my name is Elenor! I came into the shelter as a stray, so my background is unknown. However, I am a sweet lady, and look forward to spending the rest of my doggie years with my new family! This post is shareable! If you know someone who may be interested in adopting, please tag them!

💕Meet Eeyore!💕

This 7-year old American Bulldog-mix is as sweet as can be! Eeyore is a great leash walker and really perks up when he sees other dogs. He is very gentle when taking treats and just as gentle when playing with his toys. We may not be sure of his exact breed, but we are positive that he is 100% couch potato. Eeyore's permanent sad face all but disappears when he's given tail scratches and cuddles. If you're looking for a low-energy, cuddle bug, Eeyore is the pup for you!🥰
