This weekend, during our outreach program, we met a dog named Little Bit and his owner. Sadly, both are homeless, and Little Bit desperately needs surgery to remove a tumor hanging from his neck.

Little Bit’s owner has been collecting cans to pay for his care and was able to get him bloodwork and an estimate from a vet, $2290. Thankfully, Little Bit is healthy enough for surgery! However, the vet they saw isn’t experienced with mass removal surgeries.

We found a vet just six minutes away from the safe sleep area where they’re staying, who has the expertise to perform the surgery. Unfortunately, this vet won’t be open until January 6. To ensure we’re ready as soon as they are, we’re starting a fundraiser now.

Once the vet opens, we’ll set up an account so donations can go directly to them. In the meantime, we’ve created a Zeffy account, and every donation made there will go toward Little Bit’s surgery and care.

Our goal is to raise $2,700. This will cover an additional pre-surgery vet visit, the surgery itself, the aftercare appointment, and transportation expenses.

Thank you for helping Little Bit and his owner during this difficult time.

🌟 Today, we distributed 336 dog meals throughout Lane County, ensuring canines in need had full bellies this holiday season.🐾 Along with the meals, we handed out scarves, gloves, jackets, blankets, dog treats, and 24 cinnamon rolls to the homeless, all of whom were so grateful for the support.

A huge thank you to Giggly Goodies for the delicious cinnamon rolls that brightened everyone’s day! 🥰

We’re so thankful to everyone who contributed to making this possible. Together, we’re making a difference, one paw and one person at a time. ❤️

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas 🎄

Lila two weeks old tomorrow! Her eyes are open, she’s getting fluffy, and she’s learning to stand and wobble. She’s also quite particular—she absolutely has to go potty before eating or she’ll refuse her bottle, even if she doesn’t really need to go. And when it comes to crawling, she’s the fastest little puppy I’ve ever met!

🌟 Lila’s Christmas Eve🎄

Our little Aussie mix has decided it’s time to truly take in the world—her eyes are now open, even more than in these photos!

We’re so excited to watch her curiosity grow as she explores her surroundings. Stay tuned for more adorable updates from this sweet girl! 💕

🐾 Woof Woof! It’s Kailee Here! 🐾

Hi there, friends! My name is Kailee, and I’m a playful and friendly Kelpie Mix, around 1-2 years old. I weigh about 40lbs, which makes me the perfect size for snuggles and adventures!

Not too long ago, I was a stray, wandering the streets and feeling a bit lost, and so hungry. I was very malnourished when I was found, but thanks to some kind humans, I’ve been given the love and care I needed to thrive. Now, I’m mostly healthy (still gaining a bit of weight), happy, and ready to find my forever home!

I’m a social butterfly who loves being around people, and I get along fabulously with both my dog and cat pals. Whether it’s a fun romp in the yard or a cozy cuddle session on the couch, I’m always up for anything! My energetic spirit keeps me on my paws, and my affectionate nature means I’m always eager to snuggle close.

I’m crate trained and potty trained, which makes me an ideal companion for any household. Plus, I am spayed, and fully vetted, so I’m all set to join your family without any worries.

If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s been through a lot but still has so much love to give, I’m your girl! Let’s go on some fun adventures together and create lasting memories! 🐶❤️

Lila is growing like a w**d! She now weighs 21 ounces, eats like a champ, and is a very wiggly little girl. Thank you so much for the donations when we first got her—the extra syringe ni***es and puppy pads have been absolute lifesavers!

Callie is absolutely thriving! She was one of our very first shelter pulls—a fun-loving, outgoing puppy back then, and she’s still just as full of life today. Her journey has been nothing short of amazing, and we couldn’t be happier for her.

Her family takes her everywhere—whether it’s car rides, meeting new people, camping or making new four-legged friends, Callie is always ready for an adventure. They completely adore her (and honestly, who wouldn’t with those big, soulful eyes?). She’s formed a special bond with her human kids and her Labrador sister—who, funnily enough, Callie is now almost the same size of her Labrador sister! She’s even become a proud member of the K9 4-H program with her human siblings, where she’s learning, growing, and having so much fun.

Callie’s story is a reminder of why we do what we do. Seeing her flourish in such a loving, devoted family fills our hearts with joy. Thank you to her wonderful family for giving Callie the life she was always meant to have. Your love and care mean the world to her—and to us!

Ginger went to a wonderful lady willing to give her the time she needs at this point it’s a trial run but she is now out of her old pen!

12/21/2024

Today we went and passed out Grizzly bags for our stop k9 starvation program. We passed out 180 meals in lane county. While we were out we met one of the sweetest boys, unfortunately his owner is homeless but stays in a safe sleep area the city put up.

We will be calling vets, in the next few days to see if any of them would be willing to give us at least a rough estimate on what it will cost to remove this tumor. Hopefully we can raise enough to get this boy some help.

I’d definitely call him a hero! 💗

An 8-year-old boy from Arizona demonstrated a serious act of kindness when he gave up his skateboard to save a kitten.

Big News for Smalls and Mr. Moo! 🐾🎄

We’re overjoyed to announce that both Smalls and Mr. Moo have officially found their forever homes this holiday season!

Smalls’ new family had been praying for months for the perfect little puppy, and we’ve been praying for the most loving homes. This holiday season, all those prayers were answered, and we couldn’t be happier for everyone involved!

Mr. Moo, now named Moose, is heading to his new home with a big sister named Luna, along with about 20 horses and chickens to keep him company. Fun fact: at home, we used to call him “Moo the Moosifer,” so his new name is a perfect fit!

We’re so excited for these two sweet pups as they start their next chapters in life surrounded by love. 💛

Brotherly Love 🐾💛

These two brothers are the sweetest duo, snuggled up and sharing their favorite toys together. Watching them play and bond has been such a joy—it’s moments like these that melt our hearts!

The love and connection between these two is something truly special. 💕

12/19/2024

I’m so proud of Mr. Moo and Smalls! Normally, I clean their pen in the evenings when I have another human around to keep an eye on them. But this morning, they made a mess I just couldn’t leave.

So, for the first time ever, they went into a crate with the door shut. I was a little worried about how they’d react, but they were absolute champs! No whining, no anxiety—just calm and relaxed, like they’d done it a hundred times before.

They are such good puppies and are going to make a family (or two!) so incredibly happy someday.

🐾 Meet Ginger – A Sweet Australian Shepherd in Need of a Forever Home! 🐾

Ginger is a beautiful 3-year-old AKC-registered Australian Shepherd who is spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations. She has so much potential and love to give, but her current elderly owner hasn’t been able to dedicate the time she deserves.

Unfortunately, Ginger has spent much of her life in a pen, leaving her full of energy and eager for a fresh start with someone ready to guide her. She’s a high-energy girl who would thrive with training and a home that can provide her the activity and attention she craves.

Despite her past, Ginger is an absolute lover—she just needs someone patient and willing to help her reach her full potential.

📍If you have the time, space, and commitment to give Ginger the life she deserves, please reach out to us. Let’s help this sweet girl find her perfect match!

🌟 Lila’s Week 1 Milestone Update! 🌟

Our sweet Aussie mix, Lila, is officially one week old! 🐾 Her little body is growing stronger each day, and her nervous system is developing beautifully.

She’s starting to figure out how to go potty on her own (though a little help with stimulation is still needed—yay, progress!). Most importantly, Lila has a BIG appetite and an even bigger personality to match. She’s strong, determined, and already winning hearts with her tiny but mighty spirit. 💕

Keep cheering her on as she grows—we can’t wait to see the amazing pup she’s going to become! 🐶✨

Big Puppy Update: Moo & Smalls Edition!

“We love our crate—it’s the coolest bed ever! Right now, our human keeps the door tied open so we can take our time getting used to it. She says we’ll eventually be okay when it closes… but we’re in no rush.

Guess what? We’re getting really good at sitting for attention! We’re even starting to understand the word ‘sit.’ Humans seem to love when we do it, so we’re happy to oblige.

Potty training? 95% pros over here! We’re using our potty box like champs, but sometimes Number One sneaks up on us. It’s a work in progress, but we’re so proud of how far we’ve come.

All in all, we’re doing our best to grow into the perfect little dogs we’re meant to be—one wobbly step at a time!”

— Love, Moo & Smalls 🐾
