🥹 From urgent plea to happy ending… Buttercup (now Winnie) has officially landed her forever! 💛 A few weeks ago, we weren’t sure what the future held for this sweet girl—but thanks to Isabel and Jack, her next chapter is already being written in love, belly rubs, and endless adventure. ✨

I couldn’t be more grateful to this amazing couple for stepping up when it mattered most. Winnie is exactly where she’s meant to be, and my heart is so full knowing she is going to have a happy life.

🚨 URGENT: Foster or Adopter Needed by June 6th! 🚨

Please SHARE to help Buttercup find a safe place to land!
Meet Buttercup — a sweet, gentle girl who’s in desperate need of a new foster or forever home. Her current family can no longer keep her, and we only have until June 6 to find her somewhere safe.

Roland, one of our incredible rescue partners, reached out to us on behalf of a wonderful Texas-based rescue he works closely with. This group is doing amazing work, but they’re overwhelmed right now and it would be really hard on BC to make the trip all the way back to TX. Since we’re here in the Northeast, we’re stepping up to do everything we can to help from afar.

Buttercup was adopted back in March, and while she’s been a total sweetheart, the family’s cat has become too stressed out by her presence. Out of love for both pets, the family made the tough decision to ask for help.

🩷 About Buttercup:
• 2 years old
• Great with other dogs
• Medium energy — just the right blend of playful and laid-back
• Walks wonderfully on leash
• House-trained
• Not aggressive toward cats, but a cat-free home is best
• Heartworm positive — currently undergoing fast kill treatment (final injection is June 5)
• Needs to rest and take it easy while she heals — we’ll guide you through aftercare

📍Foster Incentive:
The current family is offering $500/month to help support her foster care until she’s adopted.

If you’ve been on the fence about fostering, now’s the time to step in and truly change a life. Buttercup needs a safe, calm space and someone willing to give her a chance. We’ll be sharing more details soon, but if you or someone you know can help — please don’t wait.

📩 DM us or email [email protected] ASAP.

This is one of those posts I truly wish I didn’t have to write.
Before I say anything else, let me make one thing clear: this is nobody’s fault. Life sometimes throws us curveballs we can’t control, no matter how much love and intention are behind our choices.

As many of you know, Crepes recently found what we thought would be his forever home. And it truly felt like the perfect match. I absolutely adored this family, and I know they adored him just as much. But due to completely unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, they are no longer able to move forward with his adoption. My heart breaks for everyone involved.

That said, Crepes is once again looking for a forever home. We have him scheduled to leave next week, and we’d love nothing more than for him to still make that trip—or one later this month—but we need a committed adopter to make that happen. He’s currently in foster care, but I can only pull him if he has a confirmed adoptive home, as I can’t guarantee how long it would take to find one for him locally.

Crepes is about a year and a half old, weighs around 50 pounds, and is full of love and personality. This bubbly guy makes friends easily and was quick to get along with the other dogs in his foster home. He’s playful and strong, so he may not be the best match for fragile or low-energy pups, and he might accidentally knock over small children during playtime. He walks well on a leash and only occasionally pulls when something exciting catches his eye. A Gentle Leader-style harness helps remind him to stay focused and calm. While Crepes hasn’t been tested around cats, we recommend a home without feline friends. He’s crate trained, potty trained, and rides well in the car. He’s also neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly preventatives.

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting this sweet and well-rounded boy, please reach out via email at [email protected]. I’d be happy to share more information and answer any questions.

Let’s help Crepes finally find the home he’s been waiting for. He’s been so close—let’s not let him fall through the cracks now.

🌟✨ ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT ✨🌟
It’s official — Sasha is getting her fairytale ending! 🏡💖

After months of waiting patiently, our beautiful girl Sasha finally has a forever family to call her own. She first arrived back at the shelter last fall, and while she was lucky enough to participate in a 12-week training program (where she absolutely crushed it 🐾🎓), she returned to the shelter and waited… and waited…

Despite being incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of potential, Sasha was sadly overlooked time and time again. But we never gave up hope — and neither did she. Because as they say, good things come to those who wait, and her time has finally come.

Sasha has officially been adopted and will be leaving in just a few short weeks to meet her wonderful new family — and her new brother, Bud! 🐶❤️

We are SO excited to see this girl blossom in a loving home, surrounded by people who see her for the gem she truly is. Your journey is just beginning, Sasha — and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🥹🐕✨

Fresh, clean, and camera-ready! 🛁✨
We tried the Earth Rated Waterless Dog Shampoo in the scent White Tea & Basil, and we are obsessed. It’s perfect for a quick refresh between baths – no mess, no stress, and it left our coats feeling soft, clean, and smelling amazing. Plus, it’s gentle enough for all coat types and made grooming time feel like a spa day instead of a chore.

If you want to try it out too, you can find it here:👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4C8LQ4S?ref=t_ac_view_request_product_image&campaignId=amzn1.campaign.3P5FAVRQPJF8L&linkCode=tr1&tag=amaladas-20&linkId=amzn1.campaign.3P5FAVRQPJF8L_1745701289744

✨ ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

Today is a day worth celebrating… our sweet, squishy-faced Crepes has finally found his fairytail ending! 🐾💛

After over 4 months of patiently waiting and dreaming of a forever family, his wish has come true. Just last week, the Stachowski family came across his profile and instantly knew he was meant to be part of their lives. 💫

This lucky boy is about to start the best chapter yet — one filled with endless cuddles, backyard zoomies, and the unconditional love of his amazing new family (plus some awesome human siblings too!) 🎉👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Congratulations to the Stachowski crew — we are SO excited for you to meet your new best friend in just a few short weeks. 🐶💖 Until then, we’ll be showering him with extra love and belly rubs!

✨ Big News & a Bittersweet Surprise ✨
I’ve been keeping a little secret… and today, I can finally share it with all of you. While this update is bittersweet, it comes with the happiest of endings—and a fresh new beginning for a very special boy. 🐾💛

Some of you may remember Mork, the gentle German Shepherd mix who stole all our hearts. He was adopted in March 2023 after spending quite some time in a shelter, then at Pearl’s Place. Despite being returned once before—through no fault of his own—he remained the sweetest, most deserving soul.

When we finally placed him with a family, we truly believed it was his forever. I made it clear that he didn’t need to be adopted—he was safe, loved, and secure with us—but we hoped for a home that could offer him even more. For a while, it seemed like we found just that. But after nearly two years, the family made the difficult decision to surrender him, as they felt like he wasn’t getting the time or attention he deserved.

I don’t share this to blame or shame—life is unpredictable, and circumstances change. But it's always hard when a placement doesn’t work out, especially for a dog as special as Mork. Once again, he found himself back in limbo… the same place he was years ago.

But here’s where the story takes a joyful turn. 🥹💫

This time, Mork’s forever is locked in—for good. I am beyond thrilled to share that he is officially joining my family! My amazing aunt has stepped up and opened her heart and home to him, ensuring that this sweet boy never has to wonder where he belongs again. ❤️

He’ll be renamed York—a fresh start for a new chapter. While he won’t be moving in right away (we’re waiting for my cousin to return from overseas to help with a smooth transition with their current pup), he’s in the best possible hands in the meantime.

A huge thank you to two of our wonderful former adopters, Kelsey and Mikey—aka Zoey (Mika)’s amazing parents—who didn’t hesitate to foster York while he waits for his new chapter to begin. Knowing he’s safe, loved, and being cared for like family brings me so much peace. 💕🐶

Welcome to the family, York. Your journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see you thrive. You’re home now—and you’ll never be without love again. 🏡💛

P.S. I know how much so many of you adored him, and now I’ll be able to share lots of updates on how he’s doing—and hopefully even get to spend some time with him myself now that the weather’s starting to get nicer!
