🎁 A huge thank you to Harry's secret Santas for making his holiday season extra special! 🎄💖

Hi, I'm Harry! 👋 I'm a sweet, wiggly boy with a smile that can melt anyone's heart (just look at me)! 😁 I’m great with people, love other dogs. I'm only 1 1/2 years old.

My foster says I'm super handsome with the smooshiest face, and she calls me "wiggle butt" because I’m always so happy! 🐾 I can't stop wiggling unless she’s giving me chin scratches... ooooh, I love those and treats! 😍

All I need now is a forever family to give me all the love and scratchies I deserve. Could that be YOU? Apply at itsthepits.org today!

🚨 URGENT: Foster Home(s) Needed for Mac & Spud! 🐾

Mac and Spud are two incredible, lovable pups desperately seeking a second chance. 💔 These sweet boys, just 1 ½ years old, are dog-friendly, people-friendly, and full of love to give.

🐶 Mac & Spud’s Details:

Both are neutered
Can be fostered separately or together
One needs cherry eye surgery, generously funded by the shelter

⏳ Time is running out!
They’re on the shelter’s “hot sheet,” and the vet hopes to perform the surgery ASAP—but we urgently need a foster home to save them.

🏡 Can you open your home to foster one or both? Fostering is temporary, life-saving, and rewarding.

❤️ Apply now to foster at 👉 itsthepits.org

Every share and second counts—please help us save Mac & Spud! 🙏

🚨 URGENT: Milo Needs a Hero! 🚨

Milo is out of time—today is his last chance. 🐾 We desperately need a foster to save him. Milo is sweet, loving, and deserving of a second chance, but we can't pull him without a foster home.

Can you step up? Becoming a foster means giving Milo the safe space he needs until he finds his forever family. It's simple, and we'll provide everything you need to care for him.

💔 Milo's life depends on YOU.
Apply now to foster at itsthepits.org.

Please share and help us save Milo before it's too late! 🙏

🩷🐾 Thank you for making a difference!

Milo is a 4 year old male.

FREEDOM POST
🌸 Meet Charlotte, our mini piggy-potomus! 🐖💕

This beyond adorable little lady arrived yesterday, and although she was a bit timid at first, she quickly started feeling more comfortable (even gave us a couple of cute baby zoomies 🏃‍♀️💨)! After a much-needed bath, she snuggled up and showed us just how sweet and tiny she is – weighing in at just 35 lbs! 🥰

It’s clear that Charlotte is housetrained and has a heart full of love to give. 💖 While she’s going through some tough times with demodex mange (which has left her with little fur and angry skin 😔), we’re here to help her heal and show her nothing but love. Her toenails are ridiculously overgrown, and although the shelter listed her at 9 months old, it seems like she may have recently nursed a litter. 🍼

Despite everything, Charlotte’s spirit shines through, and we’re so excited to watch her bloom into the confident and happy pup she deserves to be. Stay tuned for updates on her journey, and thank you for all your support! 🌸🐾

🎅🎁✨ Santa’s helpers were hard at work spreading holiday cheer, and Big Buster is one happy pup! 🐾🎄

One of Santa’s elves delivered Buster’s Secret Santa gifts, and WOW did Big B make out! 😍 He got:
🦴 Delicious treats
🎾 Fun toys
❄️ A snuggly blanket to keep warm on chilly nights
🛏️ A comfy bed perfectly sized for his XL frame

Thank you to our amazing Secret Santas for making this possible and to helper Ashley for the special delivery.

Buster is still looking for his forever home. Visit itsthepits.org to learn more and apply.
