Little Victories Animal Rescue Shelter

12/10/2024

Our is hitting a heartbreaking milestone we never want for any of our Little Victories family. 💔 Axton has officially been living at the shelter for two years. Despite being young, friendly, and full of life, he still hasn’t found his perfect family.

🐾 More about Axton 🐾
Details: 4 years old, Large (70 lbs)
✅ Great with dogs who want to play
✅ Loves people of all ages
❌ House trained
✅ Crate trained
⚠️ Climbs fences

Axton is the kind of dog who greets everyone with a wagging tail and a big bark. He’s playful, affectionate, and full of s***k. His favorite things? Hiking steep trails, sniffing out every scent in the woods, and cruising in the car — where he’s just as happy popping his head out the window as he is resting it on your shoulder.

Axton is a big, strong dog who does have some reactive tendencies. With a proper outlet for his energy and some basic structure in a home, this guy will thrive! He plays very well with most other dogs and has quickly become one of our best helpers for assessing new pups and their temperaments.

But the truth is, shelter life is taking its toll. Every day spent in a kennel adds to his struggle. He is learning to be more brave in unfamiliar situations and is doing such a great job overcoming his hesitations, but Axton needs the stability of a home or a foster to be the best dog he can be.

How can you help Axton?
💛 Apply to adopt him and make him your new hiking buddy at littlevictories.org.
💛 Ask about fostering Axton if you can’t commit to adoption right now.
💛 Come visit him from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
💛 Take him out for a adventure! A short break makes all the difference for this sweet boy!

Let’s make sure Axton doesn’t spend another year waiting.

Can you imagine a cuter face on your feeds this morning? Spider is ready to say hello!

This 8-month-old cutie is still new to rescue and can be pretty timid, but he loves people. He is very scared in the Cat House and keeps to himself, but when you get his attention he's all sweetness. He craves affection and wants to be the playful kitten he is meant to be! A forever home would give him the security to do just that.

Catch him timidly asking for affection and making the most nervous biscuits you have ever seen. Spider is the kind of cat you can't help but fall in love with.

✨ Looking to fall in love with a kitty friend? Come meet Spider from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, or complete an adoption application at littlevictories.org. ✨

This hound dog is looking for a buddy! Meet Steve! 🧡🐾

Details: 4 years old, large (70 lbs)
✅ Dog selective but would rather be solo
✅ Cat friendly
✅ Previously lived with kids
❌ House trained
✅ Crate trained
✨ Adoption fee sponsored

Steve is a goofy, lovable hound who’s ready for his forever home! 💛 The shelter environment is overwhelming for him — it’s noisy, chaotic, and keeping this sweet boy on edge. Steve would much rather be out exploring, going on long walks, or earning treats for his good boy tricks.

Though he can be a little shy at first, it doesn’t take long to earn his trust. Once you’re on his team, you’ve got a playful pal.

Steve is fine with laid-back dogs, but he would prefer to be your one and only. He’s previously lived with cats and kids. Steve would thrive in a home where he can do his own thing without being forced into affection.

✨ Let’s help Steve find the loving, peaceful home he deserves. Could it be with you? Apply to adopt at littlevictories.org, or come meet him from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Sunday. ✨

Salt is here to brighten up your chilly Thursday! 🐾

This sweet boy might seem a little shy, often tucked away in a cozy window spot, but don’t let that fool you! Salt LOVES affection and will happily lean in for a friendly chin scratch. He is a more low-key companion, always ready to keep you company, enjoy a treat, and maybe play just a little.

Salt gets along well with other cats, as long as they respect his personal bubble. He will thrive in a multi-cat home where he can be his easygoing self. But what he’s really looking for? A forever lap to call his own.

✨ Ready to give Salt the cozy home he deserves? Apply to adopt him at littlevictories.org, or stop by the Cat House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Sunday. ✨

Happy tails, Hank! 🧡

UPDATE: Bandit has been adopted!!

BOLO! We've got a Bandit on our hands! 🐾

His most likely targets are any human he meets or banana squeaky toys. 🍌 Catch a peek of this cutie as your at 12:30 p.m. on WSAZ!

🐕 More about Bandit
Details: 11 weeks old, Husky/ACD/Bully mix
✅ Dog friendly
✅ Cat friendly
✅ All-ages friendly
✅ Mostly house/crate trained

Bandit is quite the stunner! With his piercing blue eyes and fluffy coat, he could melt the coldest of hearts. Found as a stray, we don’t know much about his past, but we do know he loves playing with toys, chasing balls, and meeting new people!

Bandit has practiced leash walking, potty breaks, and is always thrilled to greet someone new. But don’t let his cuteness fool you — his mix of breeds means he will most likely grow into a driven adult dog who needs mental AND physical stimulation to thrive.

Our behavior team is dedicated to helping his future adopter succeed, but we recommend researching the needs of huskies, bully breeds, and Australian cattle dogs to ensure Bandit’s happiest life!

✨ Apply to adopt Bandit at littlevictories.org, or come meet him during our walk-in hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. We are open by appointment only today. ✨

As winds down, we want to shine a light on some of the most deserving souls in our care: our senior Sanctuary Sweethearts. 🐾

From those like Sasha (14), Fifi (11), and Sunny (14), who, despite some arthritis and minor issues, seem to be in excellent health, to others like Bart (11), Sadie (11), and Bolt (14), who have more severe medical diagnoses, your support gives them all they need to stay as comfortable as possible.

All six have spent the majority of their lives at Little Victories. Senior pets often wait the longest for adoption, but these Sanctuary Sweethearts have spent a lifetime waiting to be chosen.

We give them every comfort we possibly can, but the financial toll of their medical needs adds up so quickly. They need your support now more than ever.

Here’s how you can help tonight:
💛 Donate: Provide medication, vet care, and comfort for our seniors: https://bit.ly/3Ozr489
🔄 Share: Spread the word to inspire others to give.
🤝 Volunteer: Spend time with these gentle souls, foster through the rest of their days, or help them find loving homes.

Let’s finish this Giving Tuesday strong and ensure every senior animal is cared for with the dignity they deserve!

He watched each of his siblings find their perfect home, now it’s Barnacle Boy’s time to shine! 🐈‍⬛

This black-and-white cutie is the most playful guy in the Cat House. Catch him rolling around wrestling with another cat or chasing a toy most of the day. He will do better in a multi-cat household as he has never been the only one.

Barnacle Boy can be shy with new people and takes some time before he is ready to be physically affectionate. But once he knows you, he occasionally seeks out a familiar pet. He is, however, always very friendly and wants to be wherever you are.

Barnacle Boy will make such a great addition to his future family! 🖤

✨ Apply to adopt at littlevictories.org, or come meet him from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Sunday! ✨
