We couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas than one where Archi finds his forever home! 🐶🎁

This is a first for us! Archi is actually heading back to Texas to return to his former foster home who misses him dearly. After months with no interest, they decided Archi’s home is with them and we couldn’t be happier! ❤️ We are grateful Archi gets to go to a familiar place and a family who already loves and adores him.

Enjoy some pictures of Archi’s latest adventure at the Quad City Botanical Center Christmas Lights walk! 🎄

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎊

Penny and Maverick had their first vet visit today! We cannot get over their cuteness. These two are inseparable. 🥹 They weighed in at 8 pounds, received their first round of vaccines and are on a 5 day course of dewormer.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to their care, whether it was monetary to help cover their vet visits or off of their Amazon wish list. We appreciate you so much! ❤️

In what kind of world do we live in that people abandon puppies in a bag on the side of the road? 😢 Fortunately, a Good Samaritan found them and rescued them from this cruel act and unknown fate. They are safe now with a wonderful family that will be fostering them until the end of January when they will be available for adoption.

Meet Maverick and Penny! 🐶🐶 Maverick (white, male) and Penny (tan, female) are estimated to be around 8 weeks old and are just the cutest duo. They are playful, sweet and are slowly starting to come out of their shells. These two pups have a second chance at life and we need your help! 🥰 Their first vet appointment is Dec 16th with Houston Spay Neuter and they will have a second visit four weeks later. We also put together an Amazon wishlist to help their foster family get through these next couple months.

💫 Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CLQK4BAWGI5K?ref_=wl_share

We are grateful to be able to use a rescue budget friendly clinic, but costs still add up quickly. 😅 Their first vet visit will be a total of $200 followed by $190 for their second visit. This includes (per puppy) wellness exam: $35, DAPP: $15, Bordetella: $15, Nexgard plus: $35. Second Vet visit (per puppy) DAPP: $15, Rabies: $15, Nexgard plus: $35, Health Certificate: $30. Additional expenses - Transport: $275, Microchips: $30, Dewormer: $15. Any and all donations are much appreciated, thank you! ❤️

Archi likes to celebrate National Dog Day in style - as he should! 😎 Can you believe just a few months ago he was wandering the streets wondering where his next meal would come from. 🥺 Thanks to his foster, he’s been living in luxury with all the love, toys, treats and pjs he could ask for! ❤️ She even threw him an Archi Party over the weekend to celebrate his milestones and the next step in his adoption journey. 🎉 Archi will transport to IL this weekend and we can’t wait to welcome him!

Archi is approximately 10 yrs old and the perfect size at 35-40lbs. Don’t let his age fool you as he still has lots of s***k and loves to play! 🐾 He loves all people and is good with other dogs. Archi is crate trained, treat motivated and the ultimate cuddler. He is current on vet care, neutered, microchipped and will be fostered in Mount Carroll, IL. 🐶 Let’s find this senior gentleman a forever home to live out the rest of his days!
