Celebrating my 4th year on Facebook. 🥳

Which is crazy that it’s been 4 years since we I started this social media!

My goal was to save one more puppy, educate more veterinary staff, and bring attention to the fact there are other options outside euthanasia for cleft animals🙏🏼

Thank you for your continuing support🩷
This has grown so much and now we are a nonprofit!
With saving lives possible on both coasts.

I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

All of your likes and shares help spread the word and further bring awareness 😻

Here’s to another 4 years 🤩

It’s Friday Foster Roundup 🤠

This may be the most puppies under our organization at one time! And keep in mind it’s just two of us! Myself (Courtney) on the West Coast and Kyle on the East Coast!

So let’s do a quick catch up on who we have!

🐶Courtney’s fosters: Dobby, Kringle, Truffles and Richie

🐶Kyle’s fosters: Ralphie, Niamh, Cian and Lachlan. Plus she has Eivor the super hero 🦸 baby shepherd who has survived against all odds! His ENTIRE litter passed away 💔 she’s fostering him through another awesome organization.

Whew! That’s a lot of babies!!

So if we look tired in our posts or not responding as quickly…now you know why! 😂😂

I’m also recovering from surgery. Which has its own challenges as I navigate caring for everyone and making sure I care for myself 🩷

🙏🏼We thank each and every one of you for all of your support so we can continue helping all of these innocent puppies.
They deserve a chance and you let us make that happen!

Saint Patrick’s Day is almost here and we have LOADS of these badanas left🍀‼️

On Friday we confirmed that Ralphie will be getting MRIs in about 3 months 🧠💦 so that means we have about $5,000 to fundraise!

Each bandanas is $15 and that INCLUDES shipping 😱

🐶West Coast Foster Update 🐶

Our 4 frenchies: Dobby, Kringle, Richie and Truffles 💙

What a line up!
They are all so cute 🥰 and funny and it’s been a whirlwind with all of them!

Dobby has a meet and greet this Friday! 🤞🏼

Kringle is now accepting applications and can be adopted in another couple weeks once he’s a little bigger and independent. 🙌🏼

Richie is fully weaned and loving his FROMM kibble and uses the water bottle.

My only girl, Truffles, is showing improvement on her neurological issues. I do think she’s visually impaired somewhat. But as I know with having Blossom in my life, that won’t slow her down. She has her neurology consult THIS Friday with plans of getting an estimate for an MRI to see why she has a head tilt and is ataxic (difficulty walking, she goes backwards a lot and tips on to her back). She eats like a champ, drinks from a water bottle and I still give her forumla bc honestly it’s too cute to feed her 😂

We are currently trying to fundraise for Truffles MRI AND Ralphies’ (our ever adorable Yorkie pup on the East Coast)

Could you do us a huge favor??
Please share our fundraiser! Even if you can’t donate, please share! You can support us by adding it to your bio as a link as well! 🙏🏼

PLEASE help us, help them 🙏🏽We figured it was time to formally introduce Truffles and Ralphie, and the HUGE fundraising goal that comes with them 😳Ralphie and Truffles, while very different pups, BOTH suffer from neurological conditions 🧠 and this means that they are going to need LOTS of appointments with specialists🏥Truffles is our 6wk old Frenchie on the West Coast with and we aren’t 100% sure exactly what is causing her neurological symptoms, but we are thrilled to share that we scored her a last minute appointment with our neurologist for WEDNESDAY 😱 this exam alone will cost $377 😬And then there’s Ralphie! He’s our 11 week old Yorkie on the East Coast with me () ❤️ Ralphie was born when a condition called hydrocephalus or fluid on the brain 💦🧠 and this causes him to exhibit neurological symptoms. We are still waiting on an appointment with our neurologist at but are optimistic we can get him seen soon 🤞🏻 BUT this will be about another $350 for just his exam But the more than $700 in exams isn’t all… BOTH of these pups will need MRIs on their brains 🧠 and EACH MRI costs around $5,000 😳 so that means we are looking at spending $10,000 😭This is a HUGE chunk of money for our tiny little rescue, but getting these scans is critical in ensuring we truly and fully know what is going on with each pup! We are desperately scrambling to organize fundraisers and events to help us raise this money, but we can’t do it without YOUR help 🙏🏽❤️ I know the world is a rough place right now, but a donation of any size truly would mean the world to us 🙌🏻 How to donate‼️⭐️ Using the fundraiser on this post or linked in our bio⭐️ Venmo/PayPal: ⭐️ Zelle: [email protected]⭐️ Keep an eye out on our profile to see our current online fundraisers!

📣HEAR YE, HEAR YE 📣

Big announcement here on the WEST COAST!!

DOBBY is accepting adoptions applications😍

Here’s the scoop on this cutie

✔️ breed: French Bulldog

✔️ age: 4 months

✔️ s*x: male

✔️ NO special needs, he’s a normal little guy!

Applications accepted 2 hours from Sacramento, California. Why is this? So we can house check, vet check, reference check, and be close to take the puppy back quickly if it doesn’t work out. Also, we can continue to be a part of their lives 🩷

Application is located in our Bio! Please shoot me a dm after you’ve filled it out and I am happy to answer any questions you have!

What’s the home Dobby is looking for?

Humans that are ready for puppy training, socializing, have funds for vet care, pet insurance and overall care for a frenchie. 🙏🏼

He loves other dogs, big and small, likes cats, loves to play, is independent and will put himself to bed. He is a pig and will eat anything, so someone needs to watch him at all times and be happy to continue his crate training.

Dobby is an absolute delight and will bring so much joy to your home!🥹 he definitely has left an impact on ours!

Please share and let’s find him the perfect family!

Thank YOU for donating so we can keep helping more puppies! We can’t do it without YOUR help!

All donations go straight to the rescue. Kyle and I both have full time jobs that are NOT the rescue. We pour our hearts and souls and whole lotta tears into this. But we do not pay ourselves. We want to make sure donations 💯 go back to the rescue and keep our vet bills paid!
Donations also help us run our website, participate in events, purchase supplies, insurance and so much more! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love this boy so much 😍

But I owe him a HUGE apology.

You guys, I totally didn’t post that he celebrated his THIRD birthday 😫

Dog. Mom. Fail. 😰

So please every one, wish Brickles a happy birthday 🎈🎉

I never know how many more of these I’ll get to celebrate with him.

For our new followers, Brick is one of our hospice cases. He’s been with our rescue since he was 4 weeks old.
Brick was diagnosed with moderate hydrocephalus at 6 months via an MRI, and while that is very well managed, his AWFUL BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Disease) has kept him here in our home. He had surgery when he was just shy of a year old, and at that point he was already stage 2 laryngeal collapse 😥

Shortly after surgery, all of his BOAS signs started returning. Snoring. Sleeping standing up. Putting his chin up on objects to open his airway more. Nasal discharge. Honking noises. Gas. Bloat. Etc etc.

We recently got an opinion about a permanent tracheostomy or a laryngeal procedure to help him. But unfortunately none of these options are what would be best for Brick. 😣 as much as this vet tech wants to do anything to make him better, I have to also think of his day to day life and what joy he has still.

🤎Brick is on a list of medications to help him. One of those is costing $150+ a month 😳

I personally pay for most of his care bc it’s so much money to take away from the rescue. But this is the reality of what we are dealing with.

We would greatly appreciate anyone who would like to donate continuously towards our rescue efforts to help offset costs like this.
PayPal offers a plan to set up monthly donations 👏🏼

Also shopping from our Amazon Wishlists helps us not spend funds on supplies and saves it for vet bills! 💸

Brickles is the bestest boy and with so many of my personal pets passing, he has taken over as my cuddle buddy 🥰

And don’t worry. This dog mom has been treating him like king 👑 since forgetting to tell everyone it was his birthday 😂 he really loves Whip Cream straight from the can 😜

Dobby 🧝 Update

This boy is making such wonderful improvements in just a week of care! 🥳

His eye ulcer is much smaller, his skin is more clear, he has more fur AND his toe bean is almost normal 🙌🏼🙌🏼

We are working on potty training
Socializing
Quiet time
Leave it
Drop it
No eat
Yucky
Dobby what’s in your mouth
😵‍💫😂😂😂😂😵‍💫

This guy loves to grab things like clods of dirt and sticks 😝

Overall he’s a total sweetheart and tomorrow he will have a recheck out our vet (the incredible Dr. Alli at South Main Veterinary Hospital) and we should then have a game plan of when we can post him for adoption!!!🥹

He is going to bring so much joy and tiny frenchie sass to someone’s home! 🏠
