Meet Eloise, a 7-year-old Staffordshire mix who's ready to steal your heart! 🐾 This sweet girl is spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative—ready for her forever home.

Eloise is a total social butterfly, getting along with dogs, kids, and even cats with the right intro. She loves to follow you around, but her low energy makes her perfect for cozy days in or casual walks. She’s potty trained, adapts well to routines, and is a dream in her foster home. 🏡

Whether as the only dog or with others, Eloise is happy to cuddle up and share her love. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion, Eloise is the one for you! She’s currently in Mexico awaiting a committed adopter.

A Year in the Making: Fossi’s Journey to His Forever Home Sometimes, the best things in life take time. Fossi, a sweet and soulful pup, spent over a year waiting for his perfect match—a family who would see him for who he truly is and give him the chance to bloom. Fossi’s journey wasn’t a sprint; it was a marathon of patience, trust, and love. Before he found his forever family, Fossi was lucky enough to have an incredible foster home that gave him the space to grow. His foster family met him where he was, offering him the understanding and time he needed to feel safe and start discovering his confidence. Their dedication laid the foundation for Fossi’s transformation. Through their kindness and consistency, Fossi learned that the world isn’t so scary after all. He began to trust again, wagging his tail a little more each day and showing glimpses of the playful, affectionate pup he was meant to be. When his forever family came along, Fossi was ready to take the next step. They met him with the same patience and love, continuing the journey his foster home had started. Today, Fossi is thriving—a happy, loyal companion surrounded by love. To Fossi’s foster family, thank you for believing in him and giving him the space to grow. Your role in his story was vital, and your love made all the difference. And to his forever family, thank you for continuing to nurture his heart and spirit. Here’s to Fossi and all the other pups still waiting for their moment to shine. 💛🐾

Fossi, who has been in rescue for over a year, patiently waiting for the love and stability he deserves. His incredible long-time fosters have poured their hearts into him, but now they’re moving, and the clock is ticking. In just a few weeks, he will need to find a new home or face the heartbreaking possibility of being sent back to a shelter. He’s come so far—his confidence has grown, his heart is full of love, and he’s ready to finally belong somewhere. Please, help us give him the chance to keep growing in a forever home. He deserves a family to love him, not the cold walls of a shelter.

Meet the puppy crew 🫶🏻. Thank you @thecaptivatemethod for taking the time to meet with @meggers520 & @cassandrayoung1028 to capture these sweet sibling’s. If you’re ready to open your heart and home, come meet these precious puppies and see how they can brighten your life! Let’s spread the word and help these little ones find their forever families.

Perri ❤️ is still patiently waiting for her furever home, Apply today!

A big thank you to @mariewulframphotography for capturing the puppies at the @zoomroomtacoma event! Too many good photos to share. But here are some of our favorites ⭐️

We cannot figure out how this guy is STILL looking for his forever home!! He is an all-around catch. Hopper loves dogs and kids. He's doing great on learning to potty outside and really looks to his doggy foster siblings to learn from. Hopper loves belly rubs, snuggles, running outside and playing with toys. He would do best in a home with another dog; he really enjoys the companionship. He has a great balance of spurts of energy and periods of relaxation. He can be timid around new people but warms up quickly (especially if they have treats). The family that chooses to add him to their family is hitting the doggy jackpot. #adopt #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #chihuahuamix #roswellsurvivor #familydog #slobberykisses #bellyrubs #adoptdontshop
