Yesterday, I adopted the oldest, sickest, and most broken dog at the shelter. I’ll never forget the look in his eyes. When I stepped into his cage, he didn’t even glance up—he was so used to being overlooked. Curled up in the corner, he had already accepted his fate. The volunteer kept asking me, “Are you sure about this one? Are you sure?” Without hesitation, I said, “YES! This is my dog.” As the cage opened, three other animals tumbled out, but I went straight to him. Suddenly, he looked up at me as if he were seeing an angel. I wrapped him in my arms and whispered, “You’re going to be happy again.” He fell asleep in my lap—probably the first peaceful sleep he’d ever known.

Give them a chance. Give them love. They need us.

From a dad who saved a soul.

Hi everyone. We are desperately in need of foster homes between NJ and Maine. Please consider opening your home to temporarily help a Mastiff in need. It makes a huge difference to a dog and when that one you’ve been taking care of leaves you for his/her forever home, you get to do it again. There is nothing like the feeling of having been everything that dog needed to reach its best life.

Below is Blaise, our latest foster fail♥️🐾🐾

Please help Jagger. Jagger is an 8yo Cane Corso, whose human companion passed away. He currently resides at Quabbin Animal Control in Athol, MA.

Apparently Jagger loves everyone though he's very scared and confused, as anyone would be. He has been well-cared for. The shelter has 38 pages of vet records on him, but he's big enough that he doesn't fit through the dog doors at animal control.

Please share widely. This guy has a lot of years left in him to love.

Last week, we lost our beloved little Piecitos, a.k.a. P. We adopted him as a blind puppy 15 years ago and he regained his sight before turning one. He was full of fun until being diagnosed with lymphoma last fall. P, you filled my heart and I will forever miss your light.
