Good morning from Yuki! Who wouldn't want to wake up to these cuddles?!

Yuki really wants to be brave but is still working on it. When you're calm, he'll come up to you and give so much love. He really likes when you sit on the floor with him and feed him treats. He can get spooked easily but usually tries to come back for love once he sees there's no monsters. He does great with all different cat personalities and co-exists with dogs. He was extremely shut down in the shelter and ignored for a month. but now his silly side is starting to show!

He is 1 year old, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated!

Sweet Neil update! Neil continues to show his resilience and is getting a teeny bit stronger each day. Today he was able to bark to tell his foster mom he had to go out and potty and was able to go unassisted ❤️ Neil is on a very strict refeeding schedule with special wet food which is pricey so any help is immensely appreciated!
We will continue to celebrate every small victory along the way!

Jemma is a 9-month-old Rottweiler mix with a heart as precious as her name. She was dumped at a local police station with her sister and no one came to claim her, so we don’t know much about her past but she is very eager to please and once given time to warm up is the best gal!

She’s on the smaller side for her breed, weighing in at about 45 pounds, and she has the cutest little nub tail that wiggles when she’s happy.

This shy but sweet girl takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’ll be your most loyal companion. She loves playing with other dogs and is making great progress with her potty training. While she adores her canine friends, a home without small animals or kids would be best—cats are just too fun to chase, and young children make her nervous.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who just needs a little patience to truly shine, Jemma might be the perfect match for you!

Do you need a dog that likes tea parties? How about playing dress up or staying still for her pretend vet check up? Bee is a fantastic family dog at just 1 year old. She is extremely tolerant and became fast friends with her 3 year old little foster human. She loves to be pet and get all the snuggles. Bee does well with dogs her size and would do best in a home without cats or tiny dogs as she thinks they're fun to chase. Bee is potty trained and was just spayed- she's all ready for her fuerver home!

🐭Mousers for hire!🐱

Looking for a top-notch rodent control team? Snuggles and S’mores are ready to clock in as working kitties!

These 4-month-old brothers came into our care two months ago after struggling to adjust at a local shelter. While in our care, they have made it clear they prefer observing humans from a distance rather than up close and do not want to be in a home around them.

What they do love? Playing with each other and fellow feline friends! They’d thrive as barn or working cats, where they can put their natural skills to good use while enjoying the freedom they prefer.

✅ Neutered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Ear-tipped

In return, all they ask for is food, water and shelter.

If you or someone you know is looking for a cute pair of felines to hunt critters, please apply! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat

Today was a great day for Neil! He was able to go potty without support and even walked into the kitchen for his next meal ❤️ This "little" warrior is making great progress in just a few days (if you missed his story, please check out yesterday's post).

Neil has a long way to go for his triumphant cheeseburger but we will celebrate every step of the way. If you're able to help with Neil's medical bills, we would greatly appreciate it!
You can also shop directly from our wishlists if you'd prefer to send food or supplies for him!

Hey there I'm Cramer! I am a 5 year, 50lb lab mix. I came from a hoarding situation but despite that am a well-adjusted, super-duper friendly and a happy go lucky boy. The minute I came into my foster home I made myself at home getting all comfy on the dog beds and human ones too . I love people and want to do nothing but give you kisses and hugs.
I am housetrained. I don't like the crate but am fine in the house and don't get into stuff. Foster mom can even leave her slippers around! I am SUPER CUDDLY! And the folks here love that because my coat is so soft; softer than a teddy bear!
I am low energy and happy just chewing a bone. I'm great on leash and will walk by your side. I can be jumpy when wanting lovins but respond to back turning. I came from a home with cats and do well with other dogs.

Hi I’m Tad!

I’m a 1ish year old chihuahua mix with ears that can pick up satellite! 📡

I’m very sweet and friendly and love everyone i meet. That being said I am true to my breed and have a spicy side. I prefer to be your only doggie pal (i could possibly be friends with another dog who gives me space) but get along with other cats and have an affinity for guinea pigs.

Neil is a 5-year-old Mastiff with a heart as big as his spirit. When Neil was found as a stray, he was severely emaciated, hypothermic, and very weak. We agreed to take him when his stray hold period was up, but Friday we received an urgent call that he had deteriorated and needed to leave the shelter immediately for emergency care.

Neil’s blood sugar had dropped to dangerously low levels, and he was unable to stand. A sign of his heartbreaking desperate condition, Neil vomited a cheeseburger wrapper upon arrival and later found ketchup packets in his re**um during a temperature check.

Thanks to the swift action of our volunteers, he was rushed to the emergency vet and is now stable. However, his journey to a full recovery is just beginning, and he still needs all our support.

That’s where you come in. Every donation will help cover vital vet bills, nutritious food, rehabilitation, and ongoing care to help Neil regain his strength. And here’s our promise: when Neil’s health is fully restored, we’ll celebrate his triumphant journey with a proper cheeseburger—with a generous sq**rt of ketchup—because every dog deserves a joyful ending.

Please join us in giving Neil the second chance he deserves. Donate today and share his story to help him on his road to recovery. Together, we can ensure that Neil not only survives but thrives—and eventually enjoys that well-earned cheeseburger treat, sans wrappers.

Reba has been with us for an entire year! Can you help us find this girl her furever home?

This stunning 4.5 year old chocolate brown pittie is a total lovebug and total snugglebug! Reba adores people and is happiest when snuggling up with you on the couch after a day full of adventures. Whether it's going for walks, exploring new places, or splashing in the water-this pup loves it all!

Reba is crate trained, housebroken, and ready to be your loyal companion. She's eager to please! While she loves people, she does best with slow introductions to other dogs and would do best in a home without cats. With some patience and guidance, she can be a great friend to other pups.

If you're looking for a sweet, active, and affectionate dog, Reba is ready to be your sidekick!

Meet our little friend, Scottie. He is about 1 year old, 12 lbs of love. Scottie just wants to be the center of your world and have you love on him and carry him around. He is learning that leashes are not scary, that when his people leave they will also come back, and that he should be careful walking near your feet when you are also walking. Scottie is neutered and vaccinated and would love for his new family to be patient with him as he is working through his challenges. He has been fine with the children and cat in his foster home, but would prefer to be the only dog. A home with a fenced yard would be preferred for our little guy as he learns about leashes

That look you give when your foster puts you in a ducky shirt 🤣
Meet Bee! Bee is the sweetest little pot of honey! She adores children and other dogs her size. She loves to wiggle her little quarter sized tail and get all the pets. Bee is crate trained and house trained. She is learning to walk on the leash as in her prior home was a "free roam" dog. Bee prefers a home without cats and without dogs that are significantly smaller than her. Bee enjoys the game of chase, but has yet to learn how to retrieve the toy. She is 1 year old and about 45 pounds

Merida and Jemma are 9-month-old Rottweiler mix with adorable nub tails and sweet dispositions looking for their (seperate) homes! They're on the smaller side for the breed, weighing in at about 45 pounds. These girls were dumped at a local police station with no one coming forward to claim them from the overcrowded shelter.

Merida and Jemma takes a little time to warm up and build up enough confidence to give you snuggles, but once they do, theyll be your most loyal companion. They loves playing with other dogs and are making great progress with potty training. While they adores canine friends, a home without small children may be best suited for them to gain confidence.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who just needs a little patience to truly shine, Jemma or Merida might be the perfect match for you!

Bentley is a 15 year old Yorkie who loves life! He is totally housebroken, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He loves to go for car rides. He was in pretty bad shape arriving in foster care. He had lost all of his fur and had two severely infected ears. He has been seeing the vet on a regular to be evaluated for his progress and for medication. He will be continuing his ear drops for several more weeks and followed by his vet for one more follow up visit ( this is sponsored by The Hero Rescue). He is a older guy and it is recommended he be on urinary care food for his kidneys but he is ready to get his new life started. He is full of love!

Check out Alvin being the goodest boy and very focused while doing a few training exercises in the middle of a VERY crowded event with lots of dogs, people, and noises. Alvin is eager to please and already knows "sit", "down" "come" and is very willing to learn more if treats are involved 😉 Alvin is a young boy, about 2 years old, and would make a great family dog!
