✨ Auggie Update! ✨

It’s been a little over a month since Auggie (formerly known as Rudy) found his forever family, and I just got the sweetest update from his mom! 🐾💌

Here’s what she had to say:

“We wanted to share some new Auggie pictures—he is doing so good!! He turned 6 months the other day, and he’s just over 20 lbs! He’s the biggest love bug with the funniest personality, and fetch is his FAVORITE activity!!

We think eventually we’d love to get him a buddy, probably one that’s already 1-2 years old, and hopefully through you! We dog sit regularly, and we can tell he loves having a friend, so definitely something on the horizon we’d love to work with you on!!

We thank you so much for bringing him into our lives!!”

How amazing is this?! 🥰 It warms my heart to see Auggie thriving and being so loved. Seeing updates like these is what makes all the hard work so worth it. ❤️🐶

Adoption Announcement: Cortez’s Forever Home! 🎉

I might be a little behind on my updates, but this one is worth the wait! 😍 The incredibly handsome hunk, Cortez, has found his forever home, and we couldn’t be happier for him. Can you believe this sweet boy waited over a month to meet his perfect match? Just look at that face—how could anyone resist?! 🐾💛

Cortez will be heading to his forever home at the end of the month. While he won’t make it in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with his new mom, Katelyn, we know he’s going to have an amazing time ringing in the rest of the holiday season in the comfort of his forever home. He’s finally getting the love, joy, and family he’s been waiting for—and it’s going to be the best life ever!

A huge thank you to Shayla Gates for introducing me to this handsome guy and helping make his journey home possible. 💕

Congratulations, Katelyn—I can’t wait for you to meet your amazing new boy!

🌟 A Day to Celebrate: Medusa’s New Beginning! 🌟

Today marks a truly special moment as our sweet girl Medusa (soon to have a new name!) has completed her journey from Texas to New England and is now safe and loved in the arms of her forever family. 🐾💖 Adopted by one of our wonderful former adopters, we know Medusa is about to experience the life she has always deserved—filled with love, comfort, and joy.

Some of you may remember Medusa’s incredible story. She arrived at the shelter just a few months ago, heavily pregnant and hopeful for a brighter future. After raising her puppies, she faced heartbreaking odds—risking euthanasia due to overcrowding and her heartworm status. But in the nick of time, Karen and her family stepped up to save her, changing her story forever.

Not only is Medusa now safe, but she’s also joining her new sister Kaida (another PIYHR x BCAS pup)! 💕 Watching her embark on this beautiful new chapter fills our hearts with so much gratitude.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this possible:
🌟 Her amazing foster mama, Terry
🌟 Wendy (I couldn’t do this without you!)
🌟 Tiggers Texas Transport
🌟 And every single person who played a role in her journey

Welcome home, Medusa—you’re going to flourish in this next chapter of your life! 🐶✨

She's living her best life alongside her partner-in-crime and best friend, Auggie. These two look like long-lost siblings, don't they? 🐾❤️

Here's to many more adventures and cuddles for this dynamic duo! 🐕💕

It’s official—Cosmo has found her forever home!

After waiting patiently, this sweet girl is finally getting her happy ending. Cosmo was the last of her litter to be adopted, but as they say, the best is always saved for last! Her five siblings found homes locally, but Cosmo is ready for an exciting new chapter up north in cooler weather. ❄️🍁

She’ll be leaving Texas behind at the beginning of November and kicking off the holiday season with her new family. What a perfect time to start a new adventure! 🏡

A huge congratulations to Nick for welcoming Cosmo into his life! Thank you for giving this wonderful girl the loving home she deserves. We’re so excited to see all the joy and memories ahead for you both. 💕🐶

We are beyond excited to share the news—Edith has officially found her forever home! 🏡✨ Although this post is a bit delayed, Edith couldn't wait any longer to start her new life and left earlier than originally planned. She's now on her way to meet her forever family and will officially be in their care by Sunday! 🚐💕

While pictures don’t do this gorgeous girl justice, we can assure you Edith is one BIG pup—watch out world, she’s only going to get bigger! Her new family is absolutely thrilled to welcome her home, and we just know she’s in for a life full of love and adventure.

Congratulations to Karen and her family—Edith is one lucky girl to have found you! We can’t wait to see all the adorable updates as she settles into her new home. 🐾💖

Today is a day to celebrate! Three adorable pups—Edith, Oso, and Auggie (formerly known as Rudy)—have embarked on the biggest adventure of their lives: finding their forever homes! By this weekend, they’ll be wrapped in the love and warmth of their new families, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

Oso and Auggie, having grown up in foster care, have experienced the magic of being part of a family from an early age. Their foster families showered them with love, taught them the ropes of home life, and helped them blossom into the confident, joyful pups they are today. Though Edith’s foster journey was shorter, the love she received was just as transformative—giving her the courage to step into her new life with tail-wagging excitement.

But today, we want to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of rescue: our amazing fosters. Your love, patience, and willingness to say goodbye, knowing that you're paving the way for a brighter future, is the heart and soul of everything we do. It’s never easy, but because of you, these pups are ready to live their best lives.

To everyone who played a role in these journeys—thank you. We’re beyond excited to see updates of Edith, Oso, and Auggie thriving in their forever homes. Their stories are just beginning, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. 💕🐾

Hi y’all,

The 9th Annual Bastrop County Pet Photo Contest and 2025 Calendar Fundraiser is happening RIGHT NOW, and it’s basically the cutest way to make a difference. It ends on 10/18/24, so time to whip out those adorable pet pics and give the people what they want—your furry besties!

By entering, you’re supporting spay and neuter vouchers for Bastrop County animals through Save an Angel *AND* helping shelter pets find their forever homes! 🐾🐾

Now, here’s the thing… we noticed there’s been a lack of fresh faces in the contest! Where are all those lovable fluffballs we know and adore? We would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see some familiar furry faces grace that calendar! 📸

Even if you’re not up for entering, don’t forget that every vote counts (and your vote could make a huge difference). Their goal is $5,000 and they’re currently just shy of $600—let’s help them get one paw closer to their goal!

This week has been challenging, but one thing I’ve been eagerly looking forward to is Laila’s departure day! This gorgeous girl has been waiting since June for her happy ending and was officially adopted last month. While waiting for her forever home, she blossomed in the care of her wonderful foster, Terry Gummelt, who set her up for success with all the love and support she needed. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who was part of Laila’s journey—I can’t wait to share all the updates from her new family! 💛

Today, another special girl, Gemini, is also leaving Texas. Although her adoption wasn’t through our rescue, I had the pleasure of speaking with her adopter, and she’s an absolute gem. Despite Gemini’s heartworm status, her adopter didn’t let that stop her from giving this sweet girl a chance. Thanks to Wendy Ballard RogersGemini has found her happy ending too. Both of these amazing dogs are off to live their fairytale endings! ❤️

Another huge shoutout goes to our AMAZING transporter Tigger's Texas Transport, LLC🚐✨ Without their dedication and care, none of this would be possible.

I know I’ve been behind on updates, but I’m excited to finally share these adorable photos sent in by our amazing adopters.
