Our sweet boy Eeyore has the happiest news to share—his foster family realized they simply couldn’t bear to part with him and have officially made his adoption permanent! 🎉👏 Huge congratulations to Eeyore and his forever family! 💙

His new family says:
"We are so happy Eeyore has joined our family! We love him and his sweet personality so much! He loves to go to the park (both playgrounds and nature parks), jumping over and sitting on playground items for rewards! And, of course, he adores cuddling and staying warm."

🌟 Pupdate Time: Celebrating Ellie’s First Gotcha Year! 🌟

A year ago, sweet Elenor found her forever family, and the love they’ve shared since has been nothing short of heartwarming. Her family shared this beautiful update:

"When we lost our Lenny, we thought we’d never be the same. It still hurts, but our love for Elenor has helped ease that pain greatly. In the past year, she’s blossomed—learning what it means to live inside, navigating hardwood floors, discovering her love for toys, and playing with her brother, Sherlock. We know Lenny is smiling down on us, happy that we found this little love hound."

Ellie’s life is full of joy and adventure. From regular daycare days with Sherlock (complete with playtime, baths, and nail trims) to exploring trails and greeting everyone with a wagging tail, she’s truly thriving. Her family says, “We love her so; she is certainly a spoiled hound!” 🥰

We couldn’t be happier for Ellie and her amazing family. Stories like this remind us why we do what we do. Here’s to many more happy years, Ellie! 💕

We love hearing from our adoptive families, and Fez’s family had the sweetest update to share! 💕

“Fez has been doing great and adjusted well! He gets along with his cat siblings—though he’s a bit attention-jealous. He’s a total lap dog anytime you sit down and loves giving hugs. 🐾

Walks and car rides (even just around the block!) are his favorite activities, but snuggling under blankets is his ultimate happy place. 🛋️ Fez has been working on his confidence around strangers and kids, and while he’s still cautious, he’s made so much progress!

When it comes to toys, Fez has a special talent—he loves squeaky toys... but only until the squeaker is no more, usually in about a day or two. 😂 After that, he’s perfectly content being a cuddle bug.

We’re working on some things like separation anxiety and not jumping on people, but Fez has already made huge strides. He’s even stopped blowing through the gate when I leave.

All in all, I’d say Fez is about 90% angel! 😇”

We’re so proud of you, Fez! Keep being the cuddle bug extraordinaire we all adore. 🐕❤️

🐾 Duchess' Family Update! 🐾

We’re so thrilled to hear how Duchess (aka Dutch) is living her best life with her family! Here’s what they had to say:

"Dutch is doing great, playful, loving, camping, got to swim in Lake Michigan and Superior this summer, digging holes in the back yard, chasing everything, always ready to help…couldn’t ask for a better friend."
