Update: ADOPTED!

All of his friends have found their homes, but Major is still waiting.

Major is the last of the Labs from our recent rescue still waiting to find a home at our Philadelphia headquarters.

He’s the oldest of the group, with a few gray hairs sprinkled across his face and a slightly slower pace, but his heart is just as big.He has all the classic Lab charm everyone loves - gentle, sweet, and so grateful for every moment.

Major is open to meeting other dogs and kids, and would love nothing more than a soft place to land and a family to call his own.

Can we find Major his home today?

💕MEET LOUISA💕

Louisa is a lovely senior German Shepherd, about 10 years old, with a heart as big as her warm brown eyes. She came to us as a stray, and heartbreakingly, no one ever called to claim her. Despite everything, Louisa has remained calm, kind, hopeful and quietly waiting for someone who will finally see how special she is.

She is both Lyme and anaplasmosis positive, but she’s already on medication and feeling better every day. She also has a few patches of missing hair, possibly from a flea allergy or poor nutrition in her past, but with regular medicated baths twice a week, she’s healing beautifully. Through it all, Louisa has been gentle and patient, grateful for every bit of care she receives.

Louisa walks wonderfully on a leash, knows some commands, and her intelligence shines through in everything she does. She’s one of those dogs who seems to understand the world with quiet wisdom.

What she needs now is simple: a soft place to land and a loving home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort and peace.

If you’re looking for a loyal, devoted companion who still has so much love to give, Louisa is ready to be your faithful friend.
If you are interested in meeting her, please submit an application at the link below.

"In my years of law enforcement, this is one of the most disturbing crimes I have ever witnessed and the individuals involved should be ashamed of themselves," Sheriff Colton Havard said.

Pit bulls are now welcomed in Prince George's County after the 27-year-old ban. On Tuesday, the county council voted in favor of ending the ban on pit bull-type dogs in the county.

Mickey’s amputation surgery went well!

He made it through like a true fighter. Now, he’s learning to adjust to life on three legs — and he’s doing incredible. It’ll take time for him to regain balance and confidence, but we know he’ll be just fine. So many dogs live happy, high-quality lives as tripods, and Mickey will too.

We still need help covering Mickey’s hospital bills and preparing him for travel to the U.S. or Canada. Without a flight out, Mickey will spend the rest of his life in a shelter in Azerbaijan — and this sweet boy deserves so much more.

Please consider making a donation. And if your heart and home are open, apply to adopt or foster Mickey on www.gwarp.org. He’s so ready for a fresh start.

Seniors, bonded pair 🥺

** THE BONDED PAIR HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! **

5 days ago we posted a bonded pair of chihuahuas. The post had over 270 comments. We were excited to see the interest these seniors were receiving on social media and thought their stay would be short.

Pouncer and Angel are still here. They’re still in a loud shelter environment. They’re still just hoping their ages (15 and 14) aren’t scaring off adopters. We are not charging an adoption fee for this pair (we will screen applicants though!) We just want them in a warm home together.

Please, share this post. Let’s work together to get this senior bonded pair into a home where they can live out their golden years 💜💜
