🐾 Lulu’s Staycation – Day 7! 🐾

Big day for our girl! Lulu had her first day staying home while her foster mom went to work — and she absolutely rocked it! 🙌

Foster mom popped home at lunchtime for a quick bathroom break, and Lulu made it clear she was not impressed that mom was leaving again. 😆 Thankfully, all was forgiven by dinnertime!

After work, the two enjoyed a lovely walk in the park where Lulu faced a little excitement — an off-leash dog came by unexpectedly. Foster mom admits Lulu handled it way better than she did! Lulu stayed calm, didn’t bark or growl, and let her foster mom scoop her up and remove them from the situation. Way to go, Lulu — what a superstar! 🌟

Now she’s back home, dinner in her belly, happily playing with her toy and ending the day like the good girl she is. 💕

Anyone missing a pup? Found around Teagues Point RD, Hughesville. There was no microchip found but friendly around people. Please contact the hospital if you may know the owner.

🐾 A Message from River 🐾

Hi everyone, it’s me, River! 💕

So apparently, I’m what they call a “happy girl.” I was wagging my tail so hard — like, Olympic-level wagging — that I ended up with something called “Happy Tail.” Next thing I knew… part of my tail was gone and they stuck this dumb-looking thing on my head. 🙄

But don’t worry — my new “tail style” hasn’t changed a thing about me! I’m still the same sweet, friendly, totally adorable girl who wiggles her whole butt when she sees you. 😍

Right now, I’m soaking up all the love from my friends here at the rescue while I wait for my forever family to find me. I’m a 1-year-old Terrier mix with a heart full of love, a tail (well, most of one 😉), and a personality that’s impossible not to smile at. I get along with everyone — people, pups, and pretty much anyone who wants to be my friend. 💛

So, if you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky girl to bring endless joy (and a few wiggles) into your life… I’m your River! 🌊🐶

🌞 Lulu’s Staycation: Day 6 🌞

Our beautiful, fun, goofy, and all-around good girl had another wonderful day today! Between her naps and snacks (a true pro at both), Lulu spent her time perfecting her legendary side-eye — yes, we’ve all seen it, and yes, she absolutely knows what she wants. 😏

She also pulled her foster mom up the hill at the park with all the excitement of a pup on a mission, then spent the rest of the day being her joyful, silly, goofy self. After all that adventure, Lulu tackled her next challenge: trying very hard — and very unsuccessfully — to get the pepperoni out of a rolled-up towel. 🍕🐶

Lulu, you’ve brought us so much joy and endless smiles watching you on your staycation. It makes our hearts happy to see you enjoy the good life — just as you should. 💕

Now, our hope is that someone out there will fall in love with this silly, sweet girl and want to make her part of their family — so they too can join the ever-growing Lulu Fan Club! 🐾💛

🇺🇸 Today—November 11—is Veterans Day. 🇺🇸

It’s the day our nation sets aside to pause and honor those who have worn the uniform of the United States military — ordinary people who made an extraordinary choice to serve something greater than themselves.

We are deeply grateful for the bravery, sacrifice, and dedication of all who have served and continue to serve. ❤️

From all of us here at the Humane Society of Calvert County, thank you, veterans, for your service and for protecting the freedoms we hold dear. 🇺🇸🐾

🐾 Lulu’s Staycation – Day 5! 🐾

Our sweet Lulu had a pretty uneventful (but happy!) day today. 💕 She started her morning with a nice walk in the park followed by some yummy snacks, then headed back home to relax and recharge.

But of course, peace and quiet only last so long — because right on schedule, her foster mom’s favorite time of day arrived… the “Witching Hour”! 😆 Every evening around 5 p.m., Lulu transforms into a playful little gremlin, bouncing around and showing off her goofy side.

Oh, Lulu — you make us smile and laugh every single day with your silly antics and fun-loving personality. 💖 We’re so happy to see you coming out of your shell and showing this wonderful side of yourself to your foster mom — and to the world! 🌎🐶 Keep shining sweet girl!

Congratulations to our sweet boy Jackson on finding his forever home! 🐾💛🎉

Jackson’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. He was found in a hoarding situation and taken to a local shelter — covered in fleas, suffering from hair loss, and overgrown nails. But through it all, his spirit never broke. 💪 He remained the same friendly, loving boy who soaked up every bit of attention and affection he could get — he just needed someone to see him and give him the TLC he so deeply deserved. ❤️

Just six days ago, we welcomed Jackson into our rescue family… and today, he hit the jackpot! 🎰 This wonderful couple met him, and the connection was instant — for them and for Jackson. ❤️

He even got along beautifully with his new cousin Holly, one of Marnie’s pups and another of our alumni, so playdates are already in the works! 🐶🎾

From rags to riches, Jackson’s story is a reminder of why we do what we do — and just one of the many reasons we love rescues so much. They are always so grateful when given a chance, and Jackson is the perfect example of that. 💕

We couldn’t be happier for this sweet boy and his amazing new family! 🏡✨

🐾 Lulu’s Staycation – Day 4! 🐾

Lulu’s foster mom thinks she may have spoken too soon — because last night, Miss Lulu decided they’d be sharing a pillow again! 😆 This girl knows what she wants!

This morning, they headed out early to Green Spring Gardens, and with not much going on, Lulu got to take her time exploring all the sights and smells. 🌸 She’s getting braver by the day — casually strolling past a senior group exercising, checking out the ducks 🦆, and completely ignoring all the little yappy dogs along the way. What progress! 💪

As a reward for her bravery, Lulu enjoyed a pup cup stop on the way home. 🍦 Back at the house, she’s feeling more and more comfortable — even taking a break from her neighborhood patrol duties to relax on the balcony couch with her foster mom. 💕

For dinner, she was treated to a little hot dog with her kibble, and now she’s resting up after another fun-filled, adventurous day. 💤

Lulu is going to make the best companion, the best friend, and the best snuggle buddy for someone — she just has to find them. 💖

What a good girl she is — we’re so proud of our brave, wiggly Lulu! 🥰
