Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Sorry was a little late as had so many things to accomplish....below is from one of our adopters, Remi...she was a female puppy that, @Robin rescued and asked us to find her a home....i absolutely love this! Happy tails Remi!! And MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Out running around for last min Xmas items and OF COURSE a stop at TSC is a must for the pups....they love their pig ears....butttttt I wanted to share this....she is making such amazing advances and I couldn't be happier! I also got an adorable video of Jack with my daughter so I'll share that one later....he's WONDERFUL with kids!!! And absolutely loves my daughter.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas Eve!
I'm stoked to show this video!! From a dog who was petrified of humans, to almost eating in front of me.....we're almost there....lots of decompressing and positive reinforcement and she's doing so well....we will be getting her vetted next week and then after new year she'll go for her spay....until then we will work on building her confidence, and making her see humans aren't all evil....
Lastly, we still need towels, sheets and blankets....and dog food....if anyone has any, pls message the page. We also are waiting on an update from the vet for the 2 GSD puppies at our foster home in TX. Karen took them today so were patiently waiting....we'll update when we hear back.
Thank you all!
If this video doesn't scream WHY all I do is beg and scream for everyone to help us, help these precious lives, IDK what does!!! She is the sweetest thing!!

Yes I am well aware the floor and door are dirty....love how some people point that out INSTEAD of focusing on the beautiful video....Kai is totally coming out of her shell....I have said this many many times....we as humans can only teach so much....dogs leave from EACH OTHER!! Yes my guys are obnoxious but whatever they are telling her, she is totally receiving it!! And if you look closely when I talk to her, she gives a tiny tail wag!! We're getting there!!! Slowly decompressing one hour at a time....we have not gone outside or exposed her to anything yet. We have a set routine and she get a leash around her head, and we walk in our kennel space....she NOW allows me to put it around her head and she walks with me....it's only about 15/20 steps but she's doing it without resisting anymore...I'm hoping to get her outside this week....I have pee pee pads where she can use the bathroom in the kennel, and we just clean it up. Not what I want to do but it's more important to me that she starts to trust me....and that LITTLE tail wag is BIG for me!!
Today is $2TUESDAY and we are still short for her vetting....I'm asking everyone to PLS donate your $2 for today......we've got to get her in soon....

Thank you ALL!!!
I am beyond excited to share this video with you....there's more also but can't fit them all here....I'll post a few today....I'm so stoked Kai is coming around!!!! From a dog who won't look at me, to cramming in the corner to get as far away from me as possible, to now grabbing the yummy Lilly Bear Treats chicken jerky(that'll do it always 🤣🤣🤣) that I put in her bowl....I am just elated!! So proud of you Kai....the trick...getting her around other dogs, so she can see humans aren't monsters, well at least not all of us...leaving her alone to just observe her new environment, no forcing her to do anything, and that even means no walks...I left her in the 5x5 so she could use the bathroom in it and I'll just clean it up...YES kinda gross, BUT I need her to only get positive energy, vibes and attention and she absolutely wouldn't have walked with me outside at all.....anyway....but today was a HUGE step forward and I'm so happy she's coming out of her shell! I know some people may disagree with me, but I'm not here to debate, what I'm here to do is save this girl, make her into the best dog that she can be, and find her an incredible home or an incredible job! So if you have different opinions about what I'm doing and how I'm working with her, please keep those to yourself. We're only here for POSITIVE reasons:)))
I also want to thank those of you who donated to her vetting, boarding and transport....$185 is left to raise for her vetting....THAT'S IT!! My goal is to get her into the vet this week, to get her vaccines, a 4DX, and a fecal....then once she's cleared medically, I'd like to spay her next week....so my GOAL, to get the remaining $170 today AND to give away our awesome raffle basket....so we CAN do this!!! Let's get that donation train MOVING 🚊🚊🚆🚆!!

Thank you ALL! We'll be back around 4/5 and I'm 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻we'll have
Morning!! Great news....I am taking Beckett to his home today!!! Fingers crossed all goes well! He's met Tom and Tom'a dog and all went well....so I envision all will be good!
Ok need some help yall! As most know I picked up my potential SD a little over a week ago...he's incredible....we did our first outing last night and he did wonderful. We have a LONG road ahead of us, but I'm very positive about him. But we need a name....I have Louie/Sammy/Frankie....my family and kids want Sammy or Franky but I love Louie! It so fits him....BUT even more so, I totally believe that things happen for a reason, I don't believe in coincidences I don't believe in fate, other than fate being God made it happen, and as many remember when we were down to the wire about Kevin, only having a few hours left before euthanasia, that I had to save him because that was my oldest brother's name who passed away 15 years ago. and look at how and where Kevin is now! Living his best life, and I am overjoyed! This dog came into my life, I firmly believe because of my Caesar, and my family that is up in heaven! I was very, very close to my grandparents, matter of fact, they are quite often when I was a child, and my Poppy's name was Louie.... so aside from this big puppy being just a big goofball and those three names fitting, Louie means a lot to me! I also did have an uncle Sammy, but funny being Italian you think we'd have a Frank in our family, but we actually don't, lol so let me know what you guys think, Louie, Sammy or Frankie!
Lastly, I am overjoyed with the fact that Maisie did very well with him and my dog Trouble, this morning. Below is the video, so we are looking to get her into a foster or an adopter ASAP!  she is absolutely amazing, one of the sweetest females out there, she's only about 45/50 pounds, gets along with both big dogs and small dogs, did live with the cat, however the last home she went to, we had to take her back because she was fixated on their cat, so I wi
I am absolutely delighted in the fact that all of the puppies that were adopted out, are all around the Hudson Valley area. Not only did I get to see Harley yesterday, but I got to see Theo and Livie today! I'm also super excited that we have a possible home for Jack, Beckett, AND Maisie!! Fingers crossed everybody! This is what we need!
Below is a video today I got of Theo and Livy, who are owned by Katie and Jeff! Enjoy!
Ok guys we have only a few hours left to get in your donations for GIVING TUESDAY....gotta say the donations are super slow today....I was hoping we'd get more being as it's all about GIVING back today, but we've only had a few people donate....so we're coming to you now to ask to pls don't forget to help us! And because it's also $2 TUESDAY, even a $2 is fantastic!

We got a quick update with our beautiful Finnigan today! He's doing AMAZING!!!
Thank you all!
Well it's been a hellacious day that's for sure....what I was thinking is beyond me....took us 7 + hours and of course got to Pittsburgh as rush hour was happening so we sat in traffic for a long time. Poor Hazel got car sick and puked 3x all over the car and my daughter's bag, and I spilled coffee and if that wasn't bad enough I then sat in it! Yah been a LONG day...BUT the great news is that I saw Kevin and OMG he looks amazing!! He's so happy! I wish I got it on video when he realized it was me....he didn't at first but then he did and it was precious! He's doing so well with Lesley Plaisted! We couldn't ask for a better home for him.
So we brought Hazel in and while I NEVER do face to face intros I know both dogs and well we were all stressed and tired so we took it slow, and as soon as Hazel saw Kevin she licked his muzzle and flopped on her back!! It was adorable....I had a feeling they'd be ok as BOTH are dog neutral if not actually dog friendly...it will take some time, but I'm confident in Lesley's abilities and knowing both dogs, it will be fine.
Right now we're at the hotel in Pittsburgh and we're about to crash....I'm happy to report all is well and tomorrow I'll be meeting @Nick to pick up the puppy....fingers crossed!!
We didn't get too many donations for $2 Tuesday so seeing as how it's still Tuesday....pls donate your $2 if you are able.
