🐾 **Urgent Help Needed!** 🐾

We just received a heartbreaking email from a kind-person in the Willis area who has taken in three dogs from an abandoned house. Sadly, she has had to return them to the property, and with the freezing temperatures, these dogs are in grave danger of disease, sickness, and the cold.

We are in desperate need of additional fosters and donations to ensure their safety and well-being. We cannot do this alone, and these dogs NEED your help!

💔 Please consider fostering or donating to help us rescue these vulnerable pups. THESE DOGS DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE!

📩 DM us for more information on how to help. Let’s SAVE these dogs!

🚨🚨🚨URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! 🚨🚨🚨

We urgently need your support! Our rescue has been working tirelessly to save dogs from a dire situation in Willis, Texas. Recently, we discovered a heartbreaking case where multiple dogs—who all appear to be related—were abandoned in horrendous conditions. The living space was filled with f***s, urine, and infested with fleas, leaving these innocent animals in a state of distress.

So far, we have rescued six dogs and four puppies, but there are still four more waiting for our help. We can’t turn our backs on this family that needs us the most. Among the dogs we rescued is a pregnant mama who will be in labor within the next couple of days. Every life matters, and we are committed to providing them with the care they deserve.

Now, more than ever, we need your help! We require financial donations to cover their vetting, heartworm treatment, and essential supplies. Additionally, we are reaching out for **fosters** who can provide a safe and loving environment for these small breed dogs. We supply everything—food, medical care, and more—you just need to open your heart and home.

✨As we reflect on 2024, we feel incredibly fortunate to have continued our passion for saving Houston street dogs, dogs on the city shelters’ euthanasia list, and supporting owned pets in our community. There are no breaks in rescue.
Sometimes it feels like nothing is enough, but in the end the only thing that matters is how we can impact THEM .🐕

Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to expand our mission and we will need HELP!!! Our goal is to build a larger network, purchase our dream property, that will allow us to save MORE DOGS and enhance our outreach efforts!! We are truly blessed to be on this journey, and we couldn’t have done it without you. ALL GOOD THINGS IN THE WORKS!!! 🐶

Cheers to 2025 and all the beautiful things to come! 🐾❤️

🌟 Hey, it’s me again! 🐾 We’re currently caring for three adorable dogs from the Willis, Texas area in our rescue and we just got news that their family is still out there! The fluffy white ones are related to Dandi and Dude, while the short-haired white pup is connected to Aspen. 💔 We can’t just take some and leave the rest behind of this sweet family!

With temperatures dropping and one of the smaller pups being pregnant, we’re racing against time to trap her before she goes into labor. Texas can be a heartbreaking place for dogs, and the struggle never seems to end. 😢

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday! If every one of our followers donated just $1, we could fully vet this sweet crew. If you can’t foster, please consider giving. 🙏

We’re also looking for safe havens for these pups. If you can provide a warm and loving space as a foster, we’ll cover all food and medical needs. Just DM us! 💌

Please help us help them! Together, we can make a difference. 🐕❤️

🌟 Update on Dandi’s brother! 🌟

A few weeks after rescuing Dandi, we found her sibling in the same area. Sadly, he was in rough shape—his gums were white, and a severe flea infestation had left him anemic and severely dehydrated. Much frailer than Dandi, his little bones were visibly protruding, and he’s extremely skittish, needing a lot of tender loving care. 💔

We’re actively seeking a foster for him, but finding one in our city feels like an uphill battle. Some days we’re filled with frustration and exhaustion, but we refuse to turn our backs on the dogs that need us. The challenges we face—limited resources, not enough fosters, and fundraising struggles—can be overwhelming. The commitment we have made to the dogs of this city is paramount to anything else.

We’ve named him Dude, and he’ll be fully vetted tomorrow! While we may not know their past, we’re determined to be a part of their happy future, and we can’t wait to show them the love and life they deserve. 🐾❤️

If you can help in any way, please reach out!

🌟 Dog Update Time! 🌟 Meet Dandelion, our brave little survivor! This sweet girl was found as a starving stray, covered in fleas and struggling with skin dermatitis, unaltered and scared. Tragically, her possible littermate or mom was found nearby already deceased. But thanks to her amazing foster, Dandi has made incredible progress in just a few weeks! 💖

Now weighing in at 12lbs, Dandi is spunky, social, and ready for her forever home! She adores all dogs and people, and she’s recently been fully vetted. This platinum blonde beauty deserves a chance to shine! 🐾✨

Help us find Dandi the loving home she’s been dreaming of! 🏡💛

🚨 Urgent Foster Needed! 🚨

Meet Candy, a sweet 40 something pound, 2-year-old mixed breed pup in need of a temporary home in Bothell, Washington. 💖 Unfortunately, she was returned by her original adopter because their doggie didn’t like her. Candy thrives on human companionship and has even had obedience training! 🐾

She’s great with cats and just needs some slow introductions to other dogs. Her current foster is heading out of town for December, so we’re looking for someone to help her out for a month. Who knows? You might just fall in love with her! 🥰

If you can open your heart and home to Candy, please reach out! 🏡💞

MEET CANDY (right)❣️FOSTER NEEDED FOR DECEMBER ❣️ Our sweet adopter is helping us cross post finding a foster for Candy 🍭 : This smiling beauty is my Sullivan’s sister and she is in Bothell. Her new family’s other dog didn’t like her and they have had to surrender her back.
Her name is Candy and she’s about two yrs old. She’s had obedience training and has been around cats. Slow doggie introductions would be good, she’s been through a lot. She loves to be with her humans (most pitties do, a LOT)! Her current foster mama is leaving town for December so this is only for a month but you never know…. She just might grow on ya 😉 DM me if you or anyone you know might be interested. Please share if your social media community is full of dog lovers ❤️ Thank you!

🚨 LOCAL HOUSTON ADOPTION ALERT!!🚨
🐾 **Meet Peanut Butter: Your Future Gentle Giant!** 🥜

If you’re searching for a lovable companion with a touch of shyness, look no further than Peanut Butter (PB)! This 115-pound fluffball is on a heartfelt mission to find his forever home, ready to be your new best friend! We think PB is an Anatolian + Dane mix!

**About Peanut Butter:**
- **Age:** Approximately 1.5 years
- **Location:** Willis, Texas (also available for adoption in the PNW!)
- **Vetting:** Fully vetted and ready for a new adventure!

**His Story:**
Peanut Butter was discovered wandering the serene Texas national forest alongside his sister, Jelly, who has already found her forever home. While Jelly is living her best life, PB is still searching for that special family who will give him the love and patience he needs to thrive.

**Personality:**
PB is a gentle giant who does great with larger dog friends, especially female pups. He’s been working hard to overcome his timid nature, and with a little time and trust, he’ll be a devoted companion.

**Progress:**
When PB first arrived, he struggled with nervousness. However, thanks to his amazing foster mom, he’s made incredible strides! He now enjoys peaceful walks, confidently visits the vet, and even claims the scale at the vet as his safe haven.

**Ideal Home:**
PB would flourish in a calm environment with a loving family who can help him adjust. Ideally his new family would have other dogs or doggies that are large breed like him and love to play! He’s crate trained and prefers a harness and leash over a collar for his walks.

**Ready to Meet Peanut Butter?**
If you think you can provide the loving home PB has been waiting for, don’t hesitate! Email us at [email protected] to set up a meeting. Let’s give Peanut Butter the chance he deserves to find his forever family!
