🐾 From Survival to Forever! 🏡

Eddy is HOME! ❤️🎉

Eddy’s journey began in heartbreaking circumstances. He was rescued from a severe hoarding situation, where a once-loving dog owner fell into deep struggles, leaving 23 dogs in desperate need.

But thanks to compassionate rescuers, Eddy got his second chance. Along with 10 other dogs, he was saved from neglect and given the care he so desperately needed. And today, we celebrate the best part of his journey—his adoption! 🥰

Eddy has officially found his forever family in Washington! 🌲🐶 He now gets all the love, security, and belly rubs he’s always deserved. No more hunger, no more fear—just a lifetime of love ahead. 💛

Kevin’s New Beginnings! 🎉🐾✨

From the outskirts of Guadalajara to a loving home in Rhode Island—Kevin’s journey is nothing short of incredible! 💛

Kevin’s story began outside a public emergency room, where he sought safety and kindness in a struggling community.

Locals decided he didn’t belong and planned to send him to the pound—a heartbreaking fate for such a gentle soul.

Determined to give him a chance at a better life, she reached out for help, and Kevin’s journey to safety began. He made the long trip from Mexico to Washington and then all the way to Rhode Island, where his forever family was waiting with open arms! 🏡❤️

Today, Kevin is officially HOME, surrounded by love, warmth, and the kindness he always deserved. 🐕💫

Gaston is a 4-year-old Lab/Pointer mix looking for the right forever home. This friendly guy loves to be on the move, whether it’s taking long walks, playing fetch, or running with joy. Gaston’s enthusiasm for life is matched only by his friendliness towards people and other dogs.

Good on a leash and well-behaved in the car, Gaston is ready to join you on all your outdoor escapades. He’d thrive in a home that loves adventure and has plenty of time for playtime. Ideally, he’d love a family with another dog to play with and kids who can keep up with his zest for life.

Rescued from the streets of Tlajomulco, Gaston was found skinny and searching for food, but his noble and kind spirit remained intact. Now, he’s in a Mexico foster looking for a PNW forever home where he can share his energy and affection with a family that loves the great outdoors as much as he does.

A Year in the Making: Fossi’s Journey to His Forever Home Sometimes, the best things in life take time. Fossi, a sweet and soulful pup, spent over a year waiting for his perfect match—a family who would see him for who he truly is and give him the chance to bloom. Fossi’s journey wasn’t a sprint; it was a marathon of patience, trust, and love. Before he found his forever family, Fossi was lucky enough to have an incredible foster home that gave him the space to grow. His foster family met him where he was, offering him the understanding and time he needed to feel safe and start discovering his confidence. Their dedication laid the foundation for Fossi’s transformation. Through their kindness and consistency, Fossi learned that the world isn’t so scary after all. He began to trust again, wagging his tail a little more each day and showing glimpses of the playful, affectionate pup he was meant to be. When his forever family came along, Fossi was ready to take the next step. They met him with the same patience and love, continuing the journey his foster home had started. Today, Fossi is thriving—a happy, loyal companion surrounded by love. To Fossi’s foster family, thank you for believing in him and giving him the space to grow. Your role in his story was vital, and your love made all the difference. And to his forever family, thank you for continuing to nurture his heart and spirit. Here’s to Fossi and all the other pups still waiting for their moment to shine. 💛🐾

His incredible long-time fosters have poured their hearts into him, but now they’re moving, and the clock is ticking.

Perri ❤️ is still patiently waiting for her furever home, Apply today!

A big thank you to @mariewulframphotography for capturing the puppies at the @zoomroomtacoma event! Too many good photos to share. But here are some of our favorites ⭐️

We cannot figure out how this guy is STILL looking for his forever home!! He is an all-around catch. Hopper loves dogs and kids. He's doing great on learning to potty outside and really looks to his doggy foster siblings to learn from. Hopper loves belly rubs, snuggles, running outside and playing with toys. He would do best in a home with another dog; he really enjoys the companionship. He has a great balance of spurts of energy and periods of relaxation. He can be timid around new people but warms up quickly (especially if they have treats). The family that chooses to add him to their family is hitting the doggy jackpot. #adopt #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #chihuahuamix #roswellsurvivor #familydog #slobberykisses #bellyrubs #adoptdontshop
