🐾 Meet Bridget – Project ARF EACC Saturday Superstar! 🐾

We’re bringing back our EACC dog posts, and first up is the lovely Bridget! Let’s spread the word and show this sweet girl some love. 💖

Bridget has been at EACC for 10 days now. She’s incredibly sweet, well-behaved, and just a little reserved—but don’t let that fool you! She’s not shy, just waiting for the right person to share her love with. She’s all about holding your hand and giving kisses. 🐶💋

We’ll be back on Monday to grab some close-up pics, but we wanted to start getting the word out now. Let’s see if we can find her a loving home! 🏡

Interested in fostering or adopting Bridget? Reach out—we’d love to help you welcome her as the newest member of the ARF family! 🐾

About Bridget:
✨ Female Shepherd Mix
✨ Brown and Black

🎉 Congratulations to Wiley and His New Family! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that Wiley had a successful meet-and-greet today and will soon be joining his furever family! 🏡🐾 His new family is already prepping for his arrival, and judging by their excitement, this might just be the longest week ever for them! 😄

A special shoutout to his incredible foster family, The Tiah Crew—they secretly (okay, maybe not so secretly) love having a little more time with this sweet guy. 💕 Saying goodbye will be tough, but they are dedicated to helping more fur babies find their forever homes. 🐾

And a little message from Wiley himself:
"I knew they would love my handsome face and charming character. I can’t wait to hang out with my new little sis—she’s so nice! And Mr. Don, I’m really sorry about your shoes and for throwing up last time. At least I cleaned your windows and helped you drive again!" 😅🐶

Here’s to new beginnings and happy paws ahead for Wiley! 🐶💖

🐾 Busy Week for Project ARF! 🐾
Donations needed: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/UKADDNXSTTEQN

Snow or no snow, we get it done! ❄️ This week, the ARF Mobile was fully loaded with 8 cats off to their vet appointments. To help calm those nervous claws, we played our best melancholy cat playlist—because even our music choices are all about comfort. 🎶

We're happy to report that all kitties made it home safely and are back with their loving foster families. 💕

While there’s been a lot of good work happening with our claws, we need your support to keep this going. This single vet trip alone cost us $800. On top of that, we’ve covered an additional $400 in vet bills for dogs who needed help to avoid ending up in animal control. 🐶

Every donation helps us continue this life-saving work. Can you chip in to support these essential vet costs?

🐾 Claws Breaking Free! 🐾

Huge congratulations to Sophia, Kiki, Becca, and Jasper for finding their forever homes today! 🎉🏡🐱 Amazing work by Thomas Crofts and the dynamic ARF cat team—you are unstoppable!

Honestly, we’re helping so many cats, it’s hard to keep up. And Tom? Geesh, he’s on a roll! Every weekend, he’s making sure more claws find loving homes. Did you know that if someone is looking for an ARF cat but can’t find the perfect match, he directs them to the PetSmart cat room to help them find the right feline friend? ARF cat or not, he’s there to help them all! 👏🐾

Way to go, Tom and team! Keep those happy claws coming! 💕🐾

🐾 Exciting Journey Update! 🐾

Felicity—now known as Fiona has found her forever home! 🎉 We are beyond thrilled for her and her new family. This big ham is settling in beautifully, and things are off to a great start.

Just a week ago, this wonderful family shared their story with us—they had recently lost a beloved fur baby, and the moment they met Felicity at our adoption event, the bond was instant. 💕 Felicity adored them just as much, and after thoughtful discussions, our dog team knew we had to give her this chance.

To ensure the best outcome, we put together a careful test plan. With the help of our amazing fosters, Alisha Wicks and Tonya-Marie Kirby, we tested separating Felicity and Jasmine. We quickly learned they could thrive apart, as long as they had another companion. The best part? Both pups seemed more at ease—especially Jasmine, who no longer felt the pressure of protecting her little sis.

A huge thank you to everyone who played a role in Felicity’s journey! 🏡🐶💖

And if you see Mr. Ernie, be sure to give him a big hug—he sure does miss his Netflix snuggle bug. ❤️📺🐾 Hang in there, buddy. We know how much you two bonded, but you did right by her, letting her fly. 💙

Quick Update on Mazi! 🐾💕

Mazi is starting to settle in—she still needs lots of tender loving care, but her journey is well worth it. A huge thank you to the first family who took her in and to her new foster-to-adopt for giving her another chance at a loving home.

Of course, none of this would be possible without your support! A special shoutout to SSS Paws Training, LLC for handling transportation. Given how scared this sweet girl gets, we knew it would be a challenge— Leah Young didn’t hesitate! 🚗😂

We are incredibly grateful for your donations, which helped jumpstart Mazi’s journey and assist with some vetting. Thank you for being part of her story! 💕🐶
