Urgent need especially for the ramp that our dogs love!

We could use your help! Our play yards are a favorite spot for the dogs, but we’re in need of some new benches and ramps to make their playtime even better. If anyone is handy and would like to build some for our furry friends, it would make a world of difference. The dogs would love having new places to climb, rest, and explore during their outdoor time. Your support would be greatly appreciated!

If you can help, just message us!

🌟 Message from Betty: Dog of the Week! 🌟

Hey everyone, it’s Betty here, and I’m proud to announce that I am the Dog of the Week! My adoption fee will be sponsored by my friends at Prince Frederick Chrysler Jeep Dodge!

I am a 6-year-old 50-pound Lab/Pittie mix and ready to find my forever home. I’m beautiful with a sleek black coat, very smart, house-trained, crate-trained, and walk well on a leash. I also ride great in the car, love kids, and my foster says I am the perfect house guest. Basically, I’m just an all-around awesome dog! Just let them know you want to meet me—I’d love to show you just how amazing I am!

Our hearts go out to Patricia Stranger and her family tonight as they had to say goodby to their sweet girl Ciara.

Diesel and Ciara were older dogs and found themselves abandoned in a house all alone, with no one to care for them. We rescued them, and even though both were older dogs, Pat and her family adopted them together and gave them a wonderful home. They were devastated at the loss of their boy Diesel last year, and now have lost their sweet Ciara.

We want to extend our sincere sympathies on the loss of both Diesel and Ciara and thank Pat and her family for having such big hearts and giving both of these precious pups the life they deserved. ❤

Our adorable little girl Carol, now Kali sent in a Pupdate to let us know that she has found her new BFF - her sister Princess and is loving life!

Her new mom said, "they play together all the time, share toys, share their food and nap together! They're basically inseparable! Thank you for allowing us to adopt her - we absolutely love her!" ❤

We couldn't be happier for Kali and her new BFF Princess!

Most of us, if not all of us, have been where Ben and Allison are today, grieving the loss of their beloved rescue dog, Savannah. We know how hard it can be and send our sincere condolences to both Ben and Allison on the loss of their sweet Savannah, who was a cherished member of their family.

In the midst of their grief, they have chosen to help others who would benefit from some of Savannah's special things—our rescue dogs. Their generosity is a beautiful tribute to Savannah's memory, and we are deeply grateful for their kindness during such a difficult time.

Here is what they sent us:

"Hi! My wife Allison and I stopped by earlier to donate some stuff that we had following the passing of our senior pup Savannah, last week. She was also a rescue so it only felt right to try and help as many other dogs and families as we could. We gave a few of her beds, her stroller that was so useful over the past 2 years and allowed us to take her many more places with us, some towels, medicines, brushes, and some bowls. I’ll send a few pictures of our sweet girl as well! Thank you for everything you do!"

Happy two year "Gotcha Day" to our beautiful alumni, Ricki! Her family says she has fit in perfectly and brings them so much joy. Oh, and mentioned that she likes to steal her favorite side of the bed ❤

Moon ❤

Our beautiful girl Moon made huge strides today, making an appearance at Tractor Supply! If you know Moon's story, you know that this was a monumental breakthrough for this beautiful girl!

Moon was rescued from the South Korea meat market—just imagine the horrors this girl saw and the fear she experienced. She was so scared and timid, but over time, with a loving and patient foster and working with a trainer, Moon is starting to learn that she no longer has to live in fear. She also loves the company of other canines, and they are helpful for her to understand how to be a dog that doesn't have to be afraid.

Moon would love to find a patient and loving home where she can continue to thrive and learn that everything isn't scary. Moon is a gorgeous 3 year-4-month-old Lab and weighs 50 pounds. More pictures of Moon at our event today in the comments.

If interested in meeting Moon, please submit an application. We are really proud of her today!

Congratulations to Rocky!

Congratulations to our adorable little senior boy Rocky on finding his forever home today! It makes us so happy when people understand the joy of adopting a senior dog. He may be around 14, but he sure doesn't act or look like it!

Wishing Rocky all the love and happiness in his new home with his two new canine sisters!

Thank you to one of our wonderful fosters, Kristina Ganyon for not even blinking an eye when we asked her to foster Rocky and for giving him so much love while he waited to find his forever home. We appreciate you!

Congratulations to our adorable boy Herbie on finding his forever home today! He was such a joy to have for the short time we had him and we know he will bring joy to his new family.

Nettle! Just a dog and his favorite ball!

Hi there! I'm Nettle! You’re probably wondering what’s on my mind here with my favorite ball. Well, I’m just wondering why no one has asked to make me part of their family. I went to an event last Saturday and people and kids were making all over me. I’m such a good boy!

I’m 2 years 6 months old, weigh 61 pounds, and quite handsome. I’m a laid-back kind of guy and so gentle. I'm house-trained and crate trained. I love everyone I meet, and everyone seems to love me too! They tell me that I am really an easy keeper—I don’t require much at all. My favorite pastime? Lounging around and taking it easy.

If you’re looking for a loyal, easy-going companion and best friend, I will be right here waiting for you!

Much love, Nettle

Have You Met Herbie?

Talk about cute! Herbie is sweet, energetic, and absolutely loves kids and other canines. At just 1 year old and weighing 15 pounds, he's the perfect little bundle of joy. He's simply adorable!

08/09/2024

Our pups are getting all spruced up and ready to meet you tomorrow at Pet Adoption Day and Donation Drive - Tractor Supply Huntingtown! They are all so excited and hopeful that their forever families will find them. We hope you can stop by and meet them!

Weather Watch Pupdate from Pepper!

As we all keep an eye on the weather tonight, Pepper checked in to let us know that he's riding out the storm in style on his yacht, and he's not leaving his dad Don's side. Stay safe, everyone!

For those who don't know Pepper, he recently lost the only home he ever knew at eight years old. But then, a lovely couple came along, fell in love with him, and made him part of their family. What a beautiful rescue story! ❤

No words are necessary when we see our beautiful girl Cayenne, now Gypsy, being so pampered, loved, and cherished as a member of a family after waiting 309 days. We feel immense joy, and it gives us hope for the pups in our care who have been with us almost as long or longer, that their dreams will also come true ❤

And a huge amount of gratitude to her fosters, Denis & Kathy Goulet who took her in and gave her all the love and patience she needed to prepare for her forever home.
