✨ Foster Friday ✨

Featuring: Pumpkin

"Meet Pumpkin the cutest and sweetest staffy you will ever meet. We have been fostering Pumpkin for about two weeks now and are absolutely in love with her. When she first came to the house she was very timid and quiet, but now that she's gotten comfortable with us she has blossomed into the most lovable and charismatic pup.

We live in a multi unit apartment building and my husband works in the leasing office. She has become the official office dog and is free leash walking in the leasing office and greets all people of all ages and is super friendly. She will never pass up a good tummy rub from anyone!

Everyday she enjoys to go outside to the dog run to play fetch and is definitely able to do this from 9-5pm as a full-time job. She's a super smart dog and has really good focus, so much so that you won't be able to trick her because she really pays close attention to everything that you do. Even with her high energy outdoors, she knows when she's in the house that it's time to be calm and sit in her bed to chew on a toy or take a good long nap.

She is crate trained and does not make any noises when you leave the house or when it's time to go to bed. No accidents in the house and knows basic commands like sit, wait, come, and down. She does very well with our own pittie and does fairly well on walks. She does get excited when she sees a squirrel or a reactive dog but we believe that patience and a little training will fix that which we already started to do with her with a professional trainer in our building. She does well during baths and does not fight you to clean her.

Overall, she would be the best companion! Plus you won't be able to resist the cutest Pittie smile she shows when she's super happy."

✨ Success Story Saturday ✨

This week: Blu FKA Arkansas

"Our gotcha day for Blu aka Arkansas was 7/31/22. He loves riding on the boat, swimming and being with us. He is our family and always will be he's now 2 1/2 years old. He wanted nothing to do with his kennel 3 days after bringing him home so he has slept with us since 8/3/22 ever since!"

Thank you for this sweet update, he is living his best life!

✨ Meet Missoni! ✨

Missoni was lucky enough to score a holiday foster, and while she's back in the shelter now, here's what we learned about her during her holiday!

"Meet Missoni aka Mission! This 1 year old bundle of joy is looking for her forever home! Missoni loves to go for walks, play with her toys, and receive lots of belly rubs. This sweet girl is fully potty trained and crate trained, perfect for those who work away from home! She would love to find a family who loves to work on training with her and are pretty active!

She is the queen bee and would thrive in a home without other animals. She has done very well with kids as young as 8 years old. She can be a bit jumpy so older kids would suit her better!

This girl isn’t just gorgeous, she’s smart too! She has mastered sit, knows the name “Mission”, and is currently working on commands such a “paw”, “leave it”, “crate”, and “heel”. She loves food puzzles! She’s also significantly improved with her loose leash walking!

Overall, this fun loving, energetic sweetheart would be an amazing addition for so many homes! She is ready to love someone endlessly and wants to experience the Christmas season and the rest of her life with her furever family! How could you say no???"

Meet Mashed Potato, the sweetest pup you'll ever meet! 🥔🐾

This 8-month-old Great Dane mix came into an animal hospital as a stray, and her story tugs at our hearts. Mashed Potato is emaciated, with some skin issues and a condition called happy tail—likely from being crated for long periods. But despite her rough start, she has the most incredible, loving spirit.

Mashed Potato adores everyone she meets and is ready to find a family who will shower her with the love and care she truly deserves. Are you ready to add this sweet soul to your home?

🚨 Urgent Foster Needed for Mel! 🚨

We’re in desperate need of a foster for this sweet girl by December 12th to keep her out of the shelter. Mel has made incredible progress, and returning to the shelter would undo everything her foster worked so hard for. Below are some facts from her foster:

"Here’s what you need to know about Mel:

🐾 Single-pet only – She’s not quite ready to share her space. While she can warm up to other dogs, it takes time and careful management. Expect to keep her separated if you have other pets.
🐾 Super sweet but fearful – Mel’s fear is deep-rooted, but as a professional trainer, I’ve made great strides with her. I’ll provide hours of instruction to any foster or adopter to set you up for success.
🐾 Easy and low-maintenance – She’s perfectly content hanging out, entertaining herself with a benebone, or resting in her crate.

I’ve had Mel for a while, but starting in early December, I won’t be able to care for her temporarily. I’m willing to foster her again after this period, but I need a co-foster to help during this time. This date is 12/10/24.

Her foster will even consider swapping fosters with someone else if your current foster is dog-friendly. Anything to keep Mel out of the shelter!

If you can help or have questions, please reach out ASAP. We’re running out of time, and I can’t bear to see this amazing dog lose the progress she’s made."

❤️🐾 WOW... Just WOW! 🐾❤️

We are absolutely gobsmacked by the outpouring of love and support today. Because of YOU—this incredible, kindhearted community—we saved an unbelievable 35 lives!

In addition to the 23 we introduced you to, We pulled 2 small dogs who weren’t even posted but desperately needed help, and our last minute mom and her 9 precious puppies into safety. The sheer number of lives saved today feels like a miracle, and it’s all thanks to YOU.

We don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are. You showed up, you shared, you donated, you believed in these dogs—and because of that, they now have a chance at the futures they deserve.

This isn’t just a win for us, it’s a win for them: the scared ones, the overlooked ones, the little ones, the mamas, and the babies who were waiting for someone to see them, to say, “You matter.”

From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU. Your compassion and generosity fuel everything we do, and today, you helped make the impossible *possible.*

Stay tuned for updates on all of these sweet souls—you are their heroes.
