Last-Minute Boarding Spot Available! 🐶

I just had a cancellation for this week and now have an unexpected opening for boarding!

I remember telling someone recently that I’d be fully booked, but that I’d reach out if anything changed — if that was you and you’re still looking for a spot, feel free to reach out! Your pup is welcome.

Sorry for the last-minute notice and any inconvenience. Let me know if you’re interested! 🐾

Jax is putting in the reps for neutrality around men, while Beaux is building confidence with a new handler in a fresh environment. Progress looks different for every dog — and we celebrate every step. 🐾

🆘 Let’s Talk About Bloat in Dogs – It Can Be Deadly! 🆘

What is Bloat?
Bloat, or Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), is a life-threatening emergency where a dog’s stomach fills with gas and can twist on itself. This blocks blood flow to vital organs and can lead to death in a matter of hours without emergency care.

⚠️ What Causes Bloat?
While no single cause is confirmed, these risk factors can raise the chance:
🐶 Deep-chested breeds (e.g., Great Danes, GSDs, Dobermans)
🍽️ Eating large meals quickly
🏃‍♂️ Exercising too soon before or after eating
💧 Drinking excessive water rapidly
🧬 Genetics, stress, and even age can play a role

🛡️ How to Help Prevent Bloat:
✅ Feed smaller, more frequent meals
✅ Use slow-feeder bowls for dogs that gulp food
✅ Limit intense activity at least 30–60 minutes before and after meals
✅ Avoid raised food bowls unless advised by your vet
✅ Monitor water intake, especially after meals

💡 Ask Your Vet About Preventive Gastropexy
Gastropexy is a surgical procedure that tacks the stomach in place to prevent twisting. It’s especially recommended for at-risk breeds.
📌 Bonus tip: This can often be done during your dog’s spay or neuter or any time they are under anesthesia for another procedure. Talk to your vet!

🚨 Know the Signs – Act Fast!
⏰ Time is critical. Get to an emergency vet if you see:
• Tight, swollen belly
• Dry heaving or retching with no vomit
• Restlessness or pacing
• Excessive drooling
• Weakness, collapse, or signs of shock

📣 Protect Your Pup – Be Informed, Be Prepared
Bloat is fast, silent, and deadly—but it’s also often preventable. Know your dog’s risk, make smart choices around meals and activity, and talk to your vet about long-term prevention.

Hey friends — just a quick update!
The puppies will be heading back to Middleburg Humane Foundation tomorrow morning. 💔

I’ll be honest — I’m a little bummed that their post didn’t get much traction. Not many shares, and sadly, zero inquiries.

These pups have had an awesome weekend hanging out with us, and we’re so grateful to Middleburg for trusting us with their sweet babies. ❤️ Let’s work together to get them out of the shelter and into forever homes!

Please share this post, tag your dog-loving friends, and help us spread the word. These pups deserve their happy ending! 🐶🏡

🐾 Meet Lily – Your Loyal Hiking + Wine Tasting Buddy 🐾

Lily is a almost 2-year-old German Shepherd who’s the perfect blend of playful, active, and affectionate. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and ready to join you on all your weekend adventures — especially if there’s a trail to hike, a ball to chase, or a winery patio to relax on.

This girl LOVES her people and would thrive in a home with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. She’s got that classic German Shepherd loyalty — once you’re hers, she’s all in.

✅ Crate trained
✅ Potty trained
✅ Fetch queen
✅ Hiking and adventure ready
✅ Velcro-level loyalty

Lily does well with other friendly dogs and would enjoy having a playmate, but she’s also content being your one-and-only. She does have some prey drive, so no cats or small animals, and we recommend a home without young children.

If German Shepherds are your thing — loyal, smart, and full of personality — Lily is your girl.

📍Currently fostered in Martinsburg WV
📩 Message us to meet her or learn more about adopting Lily!

I DARR YOU.

Seriously I have three puppies ready to go if it’s a yes. 🫣

If my fiancé Justin were a dog… he’d definitely be this Justin — sweet, goofy, and impossible not to love. 🐶💍

Today didn’t go as planned — it went better. 💛

I saw a post this morning that Middleburg Humane Foundation lost all power and was urgently looking for temporary fosters. I had planned to visit my mom in the hospital (she’s okay, my grandma is with her), but my mom told me, “Go save the puppies.”

So… I did.

Instead of stopping at the hospital, I drove straight to Middleburg and picked up ALL the puppies. I spent two hours helping the staff clean, organize, and load up animals going to other fosters. We are now home and settled — but I need your help.

📣 Let’s make sure these babies never have to go back to the shelter.
Please share this post and help us get them adopted before they return on Monday!

💥 Adoption special until June 19:
🐶 Dogs: $70
🐱 Cats: $50
Includes vaccines, spay/neuter, and application processing from home!

Meet the Crew:

🐾 Dutch — Male Pittie/Corso mix
Found in a metro station at 3 DAYS old. Bottle-raised by Middleburg staff. Adopted but returned due to finances. Dutch is super social and LOVES other dogs and people, but he’s a high-energy goofball who needs a confident, committed handler. Crate trained, potty trained, and working on basic obedience.

🐾 Justin — Male mixed breed
Pulled from a euthanasia list with his sister Selena. Sweet, curious, and adjusting well to his first home experience. He’s learning crate and potty training fast. Yes, puppies are euthanized too — let’s give him a forever chance.

🐾 Selena — Female mixed breed
A little shy, but brave! She’s exploring every inch of my house and climbing on the couch like a queen. Tiny and likely to stay medium-sized. Doing great with potty and crate training. Total sweetheart.

📬 Interested? Message me or contact Middleburg Humane Foundation to apply!

Let’s make a difference — foster, adopt, or share. These pups deserve better than a shelter return. 💔
