⭐ Foster Update: Robert Redford ⭐

Our handsome gentleman Robert Redford is settling into foster life with the Bennett family, and he’s quickly learning how good the spoiled life can be—soft furniture, a full belly, and endless snuggles. 🥰

He recently had his very first heartworm injection, so he’s taking things slow, but still manages to share plenty of tail wags. ❤️ His foster mom, Kailee, says a little extra spoiling is definitely in order—and we couldn’t agree more!

Robert Redford isn’t available for adoption just yet, but we’ll keep you posted as he continues on his journey to recovery. 💛

💜 Happy Tails: Jasmine 💜

A couple of months ago, Jasmine found her forever home with the Lawson family—and what a perfect match it has been! This sweet girl has settled right in, soaking up all the love (and spoiling!) she deserves. 🐾✨

Jasmine and her sister Harley are still figuring each other out, but they’ve already discovered the joy of running around the yard together, chasing squirrels and rabbits, and sharing in the fun of being part of a family. 🐶🐶💕

We’re so thrilled to see Jasmine living her best life, and we couldn’t be happier for Jane and her family. Here’s to many more happy adventures ahead!

🐾 Meet Briggs! 🐾

Looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you laughing, comfort you with snuggles, and always be up for an adventure? Meet Briggs—your new best friend.

✨ At just 2 years old and about 70 lbs, Briggs is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. If you sit down, he’ll try to climb right into your lap—because snuggles are his specialty. He loves belly rubs, ear scratches, and toys galore.

🚙 Car rides? He’s the first one in the car.
🐿️ Backyard wildlife? He’ll happily keep watch for squirrels and chipmunks.
📚 Smart boy? Absolutely—he knows sit, stay, come, and “leave it.”

Briggs is house-trained, crate-trained, and enjoys hanging out with his family. He’d do best in a home with older kids or adults who will give him time to settle in and shine.

💛 Happy Tails: Phoebe 💛

We love hearing from our adopters, and sweet Phoebe’s update put the biggest smiles on our faces!

Phoebe is living her best life with her mom, Nadia, and her new fur siblings — a dog sister and two cat brothers. 🐾 She’s officially spoiled (just as she deserves!) and is loving her new backyard where she can play fetch to her heart’s content. Her current obsession? A green ball from BarkBox that she carries everywhere! 🎾💚

We’re so happy for Phoebe and her family — here’s to many more days filled with fetch, fun, and love.

🐾 Foster Update: Jet 🐾

Our sweet Jet is working hard on his road to recovery! This week he had his very first heartworm injection and, to make sure he’s extra comfortable during his downtime, his foster family got him a brand new cozy bed. 💤

His foster shared: “Jet had his first heartworm injection on Monday, so he got a cozy new bed for all his downtime through the treatment💙 He’s taking it all in stride and been such a good boy.”

We’re so grateful to Jet's foster family for giving him the love and care he needs during this healing process. He’s not available for adoption just yet, but we’ll keep everyone updated as he continues to recover! 🐶✨

💛🐾 Happy Tails: Daisy 🐾💛

It’s been about a month since Daisy found her forever home with the Mohr family—and she’s already thriving! 🌼

From the looks of it, Daisy has settled right in and is soaking up all the love (and giving plenty in return). We’re so happy for this sweet girl and her wonderful family. 💛✨
