We have a heartwarming update on Millie who has continued to adjust well over the past two-and-a-half-weeks to her new home with her forever foster mom, Jane. Millie loves her new big yard, though she usually looks back to be sure Jane is close behind when it's time to go potty. 😅 The two usually go outside for a good half-an-hour before Millie is ready to head back inside. Then, her favorite thing to do, after waiting for Jane to sit on the recliner, is to curl up next to her and sleep for two hours. ☺️ Jane tells us that you would never know how old Millie is -- something we noticed when she was in our care. Millie follows Jane everywhere and is fast to do anything! 🥰

When Millie first came to us, her anxiety was so severe we did not think she would ever be able to have a home outside of the Sanctuary. Her previous owner loved her dearly but could not provide the environment and care she needed. That’s when Rick took her on as one of his shadow dogs - if anyone could get through her anxiety and help her live her best life, it was Rick. That she has overcome her OCD behaviors, no longer needs medicine, and now resides with Jane is something we would not, in a million years, have predicted. ☺️ Our hearts are beyond full knowing that Millie is living a pretty perfect life with Jane. What makes this all the sweeter is that Jane, whose beloved dog of many years crossed the Rainbow Bridge just a few months ago, has found great comfort having Millie in her life. Jane needed Millie as much as Millie needed Jane. 🙏

Tomorrow, Millie has an appointment for a dental, a routine exam and vaccines. Jane discovered a lump which will be looked at too. We commit to cover the expenses when a dog is placed in a forever foster home. A forever foster home is the best fit when a fur baby is older and it becomes harder to find someone to adopt them. Can you help cover Millie's veterinary care? It is all of the little donations that add up to help these pups. You may send a gift in any of the following ways:

Biscuit and Jack have seen most of their siblings adopted recently. They are hopeful their fur-ever family will find them soon! 🙏 Maybe before Christmas!! ☺ Both of these one-year-olds have a great energy and a heart filled with more sweetness than Santa's favorite cookies! Can you help these doxie mixes find a home?

We caught Zella trying to steal some gifts from under the Christmas tree!!😮 She was sporting this shirt - "Feelin' Grinchy"! 🫣🫢😂

Zella is one of our seniors at 12 years young. We still believe the right home is out there for this very sweet soul. ❤️

Below is a great update from Bob K. who adopted Snickers a couple of weeks ago! 🥰
Thought I'd share how (Snickers) now Rudy, was doing, He's fitting in great with his siblings. It's all about boundaries right now and the others let him know when he's crossed one. No fights and has progressed with his potty training just fine. We're wondering what happened to the shy quiet boy we picked up. He loves chasing squirrels in the backyard and runs constantly when outside. Thanks again for allowing us to adopt.

Look at that photo!!! 😍

We have several fur babies who, like Rudy, are ready to let their true personality shine with the right family! Visit our site to see the sweet pups who are ready to be adopted: pldstexas.org/adopting

Yesterday, Dolly Hinsz and our other friends at Dog Rescue R Us, began the transport of four of the puppies we took in over the summer who have been adopted up North. 🎉 Milo, Sister, Lilo & Stitch, are all on their second day of going by bus to their new homes thanks to this group we are blessed to partner with! We are overjoyed that these four will soon be with their fur-ever families ... just in time for Christmas! 🎄

All of these puppies have siblings who are still in our care. 🐾 If you’d like to adopt, visit our website: PLDSTexas.org/adopting

A couple of months ago, Riley was adopted by Joe in the Dallas area. Our awesome adoption coordinator, Rhonda, asked him for an update recently, and we were blown away by what he had to share. **Riley did not come through the Sanctuary, so he was not vetted through us as dogs who come to the Sanctuary are.** Rather, this furry guy stayed with a foster, and we just helped to find him his home with Joe. When Joe took him to the vet, he learned that Riley actually had more medical issues than the previous owner had shared. 😕 Fortunately, Joe already knew that Riley had a heart problem, and he was prepared to offer him the care he needed. He told us that the adoption was “meant to be,” because Riley would have likely been euthanized had he ended up in a shelter, given all of his medical issues. 🥹 Thanks to Joe opening his home and heart to Riley, this “old man in a 10-year-old-body,” as Joe fondly describes him, is getting the love and attention he deserves, including other dog "siblings" to play with. 🫶 🐾

Your support allows happy endings as in Riley’s case. Your financial gift enables “meant to be” matches, like that of Joe and Riley, to happen!

Auggie, one of our "misfits," wants nothing more than to be in a home to call his own by Christmas! 🎄 Can you help us make his wish come true? 🌟

This fellow came to us in the spring, barely escaping being euthanized. Haylee, who was working with us at the time, knew that he didn't have much time left, and we knew we had to step in to help him. He is a good boy, ready to love and be loved in return, and he is great with kids. Auggie would thrive being the only pup in town, and we want to make this happen for him. ❤

If you can open your home to Auggie, please fill out an adoption application. Share this post, please, if you can't adopt him into your family. Let's get Auggie to his fur-ever home by Christmas!

CONGRATULATIONS to Walter & Karen Lindsey who adopted brothers Disco and Puddles! When the couple went to pick up Disco, they saw him playing with his brother, Puddles, and they could not resist adding him to their family too! 🥰 They returned on Saturday to adopt Puddles and take him to his fur-ever home. 💖 These two boys were born with us over the summer after we rescued their mom, Perdita, who was in labor. We could not be happier that all of them are now in loving families of their own. ☺️ Thank you to the Lindseys for opening their hearts and homes to these sweet boys! 🫶
