Who is interested in fostering this guy.. here is his sad story of survival..he is definitely a fighter.

**** some pictures show his injury and stitches so don't look at some of them If that is a trigger***

Clinton's story in pictures from the beginning. He was picked on 7/19, and we looked for him on the 18th but could find him. He had been in that area for 2 to 3 weeks living as a stay with terrible wound form and attack that became grossly infected. The smell was awful. Vet says Clinton is a walking miracle. He said he had the most maggots he had seen on/in 1 animal. The smell almost made him sick as well.
Almost 4 months of healing time and 6 surgeries not counting his neuter.
His a young, playful adult. He would love some big kids to play with, or an active person or couple.
We are building his strength and endurance, which he loves!
He is excited for all the smells and everyone he meets.
He wants so badly to play our dogs, we are taking that slow because my dogs do not have the same energy level he does and find him irritating lol. They are old and crotchety like me lol.
Any who, it's time to find a safe place for this sweet boy to land.
Hoping yall can help

Thanksgiving Feast Safety Guide for Your Furry Friends! 🍁 This Thanksgiving, share the love, not the tummy troubles! Here’s a list of pet-friendly foods to keep your pups happy and healthy at the table:

✔️ Turkey (plain, no skin or seasoning)
✔️ Sweet Potatoes (steamed or baked, no sugar or marshmallows)
✔️ Green Beans (plain, no butter or seasoning)
✔️ Pumpkin (cooked, unsweetened—not the pie!)
✔️ Apples (sliced, no seeds)

Remember to skip the gravy, fatty sides, and desserts that could upset those adorable stomachs. Enjoy a safe, happy upcoming holiday with your furry family! 🐶🧡

Planning to introduce new furry friends to each other this holiday season? Here’s how to make the introductions smooth and stress-free:

✨ Start slow: Let them sniff each other from a distance first, then gradually allow closer interactions.
🏠 Use neutral ground: If possible, introduce them in a neutral space where neither pet feels territorial.
🐶 Supervise closely, especially during the first few meet-ups, and watch for signs of stress or excitement.
🎁 Reward calm behavior with treats and praise!

With a little patience, your pets could be best buddies by New Year’s!

Adoption number 2... and we couldn't understand why we still had her for so long, but she held out for a great family!! A family that is already in our rescue family.. welcome home Amelia, we are so happy and excited for the wonderful life that Rick and Lynn Mentz Menth will give her. Our ATO4P alumni Eleanor aka Ellie is Amelia's new sister... once they figure out the routine I can't wait to see these 2 play, have to take this slow as they both play hard... need to build their bond and trust. We had great walks and interaction today.

Thank you to Susan Vieweg and Tabitha Vieweg for doing such a great job with her. She was a lucky girl to be fostered with you all and Teddy. He can now get his bed back. I so appreciate the love you both have for our fosters, as well for the Great Pyrenees breed.. we are dangerous together. Lol

Time for the happy dance... our boy Rocky NKA Chevy has found his forever family. What a journey we have had with him, this just melts our hearts and are just over joyed with happiness for him. He has found such a great family that already loved him before actually meeting him. We had to make sure his new sister Loretta felt the same. It was love at first sight. They are becoming BFF's already, they are so alike with the best personalities. We are so thankful to Michael McPheron and Nick McPheron for opening their hearts and home for our boy. Age and thr fact he is deaf didn't matter at all❤️❤️❤️ Happy Tails Chevy

We are forever grateful to Nora Challender for opening her home and heart for us to save Rocky and Rosie back in May. He needed the soft touches of love and the safety of home.. and also thank you to Kim and Kelly Hnatek for stepping in when we needed to move Chevy. He is so lucky to have had 2 great foster families that both love him so much. Chevy is such the Casanova, such the charmer.

🚨 Xylitol Alert for Pet Owners! 🚨

Xylitol, a common sweetener found in many foods, gums, and even some medications, is extremely toxic to dogs—even in tiny amounts. It can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar and lead to liver failure, seizures, or worse.

Please check all labels carefully, especially around the holidays when treats are everywhere! Foods like sugar-free gum, candies, peanut butter, and some baked goods can contain xylitol, so keep these out of reach. Medications to treat reactions like Benadryl gel caps even contain this pesky ingredient.

Protect your pup by double-checking labels, and when in doubt, keep it out!

If you missed our plant event, but wanted some plants, or if you're looking for a hostess gift or centerpiece for the holidays, we've got you covered!
There were a few pots and plants left after the event, plus Justin, from Plant Parenthood, donated the pot he staged at the event.
We're asking $30 for the great apple. $60 for the beautiful 2 tiered, barn style, serving tray.
We'll also throw in with each, a cute little dog bowl planter.

We had such a great time at our friend Michelle Knox Parker business Chi-cuterie a couple of weeks ago. We are so thankful for her honoring our rescue and inviting us out for the 1st Barks and Brews❤️. Michelle also has created candles in memory of our boy Winston, aka Winnie and his brother Bernie, that part of those proceeds will be donated to the rescue. We will post more and the link to purchase. The candles are named Winnie's Garden and Bernie's Bourbon Library Candle... These boys were so special and so loved I personally feel blessed to be part of their lives. We are so grateful for the love and wonderful home our Winston had.

We had so much fun and met so many wonderful people at the event. Our pups were thrilled with all the love and attention they were given. The day of the event, she had musician Steve Mast, who is so very talented that we enjoyed every song he sang! Also, Brother Chimp Brewery and Mount Ara who donated some great dog treats for the pups. Michelle and this wonderful talented group graciously followed up after the event with a generous and loving donation for the rescue. Thank you all so very much. We appreciate all your support.

So stay tuned for more information on the candles.. and hopefully, we will be back out there in 2025.

But in the meantime, please go show some love to Michelle and her team at Chi-Cuterie in Geneva. Her business is so special, everything Michelle does has purpose, meaning, love, and so much passion.. it's the perfect time as many start to get together with friends and family for the holidays. They do wine tasting, bourbon tasting, charcuterie events, and such a beautiful store - you can get some of your holiday shopping finished.

Enjoy the pictures from the day, as well. I had the privilege of pup sitting Bernie and Winston a few times and sharing some of those pictures ❤️🐾🐶

Sunday 7pm update on Sophia.... today started with a 5am update from the vet. She wasn't eating any food. Her blood pressure and blood sugar were good. Her Iv fluids needed to be reduced. The xrays taken over night showed no obstruction, thankfully. The barium was moving but slowly. We needed to re run her bloodwork to see if her levels were still improving before putting her on Metoclopramide for her tummy. She was given a food stimulant around 3:15 - 3:30. Shortly before the stimulant we decided to bring Sophia her BFF Rocco.. she was so happy to see her friend. Between seeing her friend and the stimulant we finally were able to get her to eat a little KFC and cheese!!! By 4:45 the stimulant kicked in full gear and she was now looking for food to eat. They re ran her blood work in the afternoon and all of her levels have improved, most were at normal levels and the rest going in the right direction Please see the pictures and videos of our sweet girl coming back to us. We are so thankful to everyone for all the prayers, she has heard them!! Thank you to those who generously donated towards Sophia's medical expenses. With your support so far we have raised over 50% of the emergency bill. If you are interested in donating towards Sophia's medical expenses you can send through Chase,Zelle,or Paypal using our email [email protected]. OR Venmo using @atailof4paws Please continue to say prayers for Sophia. If she continues to improve overnight we are told they could send her home as early as tomorrow morning.
