📣HEAR YE, HEAR YE 📣

Big announcement here on the WEST COAST!!

DOBBY is accepting adoptions applications😍

Here’s the scoop on this cutie

✔️ breed: French Bulldog

✔️ age: 4 months

✔️ s*x: male

✔️ NO special needs, he’s a normal little guy!

Applications accepted 2 hours from Sacramento, California. Why is this? So we can house check, vet check, reference check, and be close to take the puppy back quickly if it doesn’t work out. Also, we can continue to be a part of their lives 🩷

Application is located in our Bio! Please shoot me a dm after you’ve filled it out and I am happy to answer any questions you have!

What’s the home Dobby is looking for?

Humans that are ready for puppy training, socializing, have funds for vet care, pet insurance and overall care for a frenchie. 🙏🏼

He loves other dogs, big and small, likes cats, loves to play, is independent and will put himself to bed. He is a pig and will eat anything, so someone needs to watch him at all times and be happy to continue his crate training.

Dobby is an absolute delight and will bring so much joy to your home!🥹 he definitely has left an impact on ours!

Please share and let’s find him the perfect family!

It’s $5 FRIDAY! 🥳🥳

We have 6️⃣ FOSTERS in our care.
With our newest little Yorkie pup, Ralphie, coming our way next week! He will be needing a specialist appointment at and if he’s strong and healthy enough, an MRI in his future. This will be thousands of dollars, so we will be posting a lot of fundraisers 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Every $5 adds up! So please share and let’s see how many donations we can earn today 🫶🏻

Thank YOU for donating so we can keep helping more puppies! We can’t do it without YOUR help!

All donations go straight to the rescue. Kyle and I both have full time jobs that are NOT the rescue. We pour our hearts and souls and whole lotta tears into this. But we do not pay ourselves. We want to make sure donations 💯 go back to the rescue and keep our vet bills paid!
Donations also help us run our website, participate in events, purchase supplies, insurance and so much more! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We appreciate you all so so much!😻

I love this boy so much 😍

But I owe him a HUGE apology.

You guys, I totally didn’t post that he celebrated his THIRD birthday 😫

Dog. Mom. Fail. 😰

So please every one, wish Brickles a happy birthday 🎈🎉

I never know how many more of these I’ll get to celebrate with him.

For our new followers, Brick is one of our hospice cases. He’s been with our rescue since he was 4 weeks old.
Brick was diagnosed with moderate hydrocephalus at 6 months via an MRI, and while that is very well managed, his AWFUL BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Disease) has kept him here in our home. He had surgery when he was just shy of a year old, and at that point he was already stage 2 laryngeal collapse 😥

Shortly after surgery, all of his BOAS signs started returning. Snoring. Sleeping standing up. Putting his chin up on objects to open his airway more. Nasal discharge. Honking noises. Gas. Bloat. Etc etc.

We recently got an opinion about a permanent tracheostomy or a laryngeal procedure to help him. But unfortunately none of these options are what would be best for Brick. 😣 as much as this vet tech wants to do anything to make him better, I have to also think of his day to day life and what joy he has still.

🤎Brick is on a list of medications to help him. One of those is costing $150+ a month 😳

I personally pay for most of his care bc it’s so much money to take away from the rescue. But this is the reality of what we are dealing with.

We would greatly appreciate anyone who would like to donate continuously towards our rescue efforts to help offset costs like this.
PayPal offers a plan to set up monthly donations 👏🏼

Also shopping from our Amazon Wishlists helps us not spend funds on supplies and saves it for vet bills! 💸

Brickles is the bestest boy and with so many of my personal pets passing, he has taken over as my cuddle buddy 🥰

And don’t worry. This dog mom has been treating him like king 👑 since forgetting to tell everyone it was his birthday 😂 he really loves Whip Cream straight from the can 😜

Dobby 🧝 Update

This boy is making such wonderful improvements in just a week of care! 🥳

His eye ulcer is much smaller, his skin is more clear, he has more fur AND his toe bean is almost normal 🙌🏼🙌🏼

We are working on potty training
Socializing
Quiet time
Leave it
Drop it
No eat
Yucky
Dobby what’s in your mouth
😵‍💫😂😂😂😂😵‍💫

This guy loves to grab things like clods of dirt and sticks 😝

Overall he’s a total sweetheart and tomorrow he will have a recheck out our vet (the incredible Dr. Alli at South Main Veterinary Hospital) and we should then have a game plan of when we can post him for adoption!!!🥹

He is going to bring so much joy and tiny frenchie sass to someone’s home! 🏠

🚨 URGENT QUESTION 🙋🏻‍♀️

Who would like to order candy for Valentine’s Day? 🍫

our candy fundraisers are always super successful but we know it’s a struggle right after the holidays.😒

🎤 Foster Roll Call 🎤

We currently have 5 foster pups in our care 🐶 and even more exciting is 2️⃣ of them are accepting applications for adoption 🥳

We are looking for homes near central Massachusetts that have LARGE breed experience.

Calvin 🩵 he’s a cleft palate Cane Corso mix.

Tilly 🩷 she’s a bilateral cleft lip St. Bernard mix.

Both of these kiddos are eating on their own and drink from a water bottle on a stand. 💧

Their foster would love a DM of any questions you have! Application is in our Bio!

Our other kiddos are on the West Coast ☀️

💚Kringle and Richie are cleft palate frenchies

🧝 Dobby is our newest addition. He needed some extra TLC with an eye ulcer, demodex and the start of pneumonia 😮‍💨 (and he has a toe bean that’s swollen and funky)

We’ve been busy busy busy! 🏃‍♀️
Events are coming up to help support our increasing vet bills and we have our Valentines Bandanas for sale 💕

We are so happy to share these little ones and show that special needs pups deserve a chance!

Please share and show others that cleft does NOT equal euthanasia. 🥺
We welcome questions and can help guide people to care for their own special needs puppies and kittens. ❤️‍🩹

We have 4 different sizes, they are double sided, fit over the collar, $15 each (included shipping) AND 100% of sales go towards our special needs fosters 😱

As a special needs rescue, costs add up quickly 😬 between medical bills, supply costs, equipment needs, and the logistics of legally running a 501c3 we are ALWAYS needing to find fun ways to fundraise! With SIX fosters currently we are hoping that our Valentine’s Day bandanas become a hit 🤞🏻

If you would like one of our Valentine’s Day Bandanas, comment your pets size on this reel (size details below) and I’ll DM you the options in your size choice 🩷❤️💗and if you can PLEASE share this reel it would mean the world to me 🙏🏽 each share helps us reach more people!

🩵💚 Please welcome our two new babies 💚🩵

Yesterday we took the day to volunteer our time to transport dogs from a local shelter to a humane society. Which of course turned into puppy pick up for myself 😆

This is why I always have a go container of supplies! We already had formula made up and with us for baby Kringle so it was easy to feed the new babies once they were in the car!

They are both boys, born on the same day, but totally different breeders! One baby has a cleft lip, the other has a full cleft palate. 🙏🏼 they are both frenchies.

Neonates are extremely fragile, so we are cautiously optimistic. But for now they are feeding well and I went ahead and put them together. Their snuggles are THE cutest 🥰

With two new neonates, we would greatly appreciate supplies for our West Coast side. I need formula ( we use goats milk powdered), cotton balls and it would be great to get another heat disc! (We have donated several to our transport helpers so they can keep babies warm!)

Our wishlist is linked in our Bio! 💚

As far as names… we’re thinking something Valentines related.
Like a fave rom com or maybe a French name? Please comment below with suggestions!

UPDATE. SADLY BOTH PUPPIES HAVE PASSED AWAY💔💔

I’m leaving this post up because if there is anyone in the SLO area that can be a future transport driver or is a rescue who can help special neonates, please dm us.

These puppies were extremely lucky they had a breeder who could tube feed and had an incubator to keep them warm. They had full tummies and love and that’s all any of us can hope for. Unfortunately the reality is that not all cleft affected pups make it. They can have other underlying issues. These pups also looked like water babies or anasarca where they retain fluid. 🙁

🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨

We need to help these puppies. Both are cleft affected.

They are in San Luis Obispo. Their owner can meet someone near Santa Nella or somewhere near there. And I need to get them to Jackson. We are looking at tomorrow 1/11.

I’ve contacted multiple other rescues and no one is available in that area 💔 if you are in that area and can tube feed and care for them properly please DM me. I would rather them get help immediately than wait for transport.

But if anyone can help with transport and get them to me near Jackson that will have to work!

We can help pay for gas. We just need you to have a way to keep them warm 🙏🏼

Please please share. Their owner can tube feed but she wants them to get more help with their clefts.

Fudge 🐻

Our tiny little teddy bear went for his vet check up and saw all his favorite vet techs and the best Doctor 😍

I love our staff and it’s such great socializing for our little guy! He gave lots of kisses to everyone and was a trooper for his vaccines. 💉

Fudge weighed in at a whole 2.5 pounds 😅 so he’s still a teenie little Frenchie, but that’s really common for the cleft affected doggos.

Our Vet wants us to keep an eye on his growth. She still feels his head is a little on the larger side, but he doesn’t have any of the symptoms of a hydro pup. 🐶 I’m pretty confident that he’s going to be just fine!🙌🏼

So we will give him a couple more weeks before putting him up for adoption. We will continue working on potty training, socializing and experiencing new sights and sounds and smells! 🥳

If anyone would like to contribute to his Vet appointment we are always appreciative!❤️

FOURTEEN Happily Ever Afters 🥹🏠❤️

That’s right, we had fourteen fosters in 2024 get adopted and are now living amazing lives🎉

To think that EVERY SINGLE one of them would have been euthanized simply because they are special needs is heartbreaking 💔 but our biggest goal going into 2025 is to continue raising awareness about these special needs animals!

Every success story is another living proof that they deserve a chance at life and that the community we have connected with will continue to grow every day!

We want to give a HUGE thank you to all of our incredible adopters🙏🏽❤️ thank you for loving our fosters just as much as we do! Adoptions are always hard on our hearts, but knowing they are going to the most amazing homes makes it all worth it!

Here’s to 2025 where we hope to make an even bigger impact and help show more and more people that taking a chance on special needs animals is worth it all ❤️🐾

🎉Our first Foster Round up of 2025🎉

Let’s do some intros to start the new year…

Ernie is our frenchie that was suspected to have hydro. But he got the clear from Tufts Neurology this week that he’s a normal puppy 🙌🏼

Brick is a fospice case that’s been with us since he was 4 weeks old. He’s about to celebrate turning 3 this month 🥳

Tilly, the fuzziest floofy fluff puppy with bilateral cleft lips. She’s a St Bernard mix and is going to be a tank. 🐼

Calvin the Cane Corso cleft palate boy 💙Also going to be a big guy! He’s doing marvelously and is already weaned!

Kringle is our youngest foster at 1 week old. He’s a frenchie with a full cleft palate 🙏🏼

Leonie is the most beautiful bifid nose kitty 🐱 that we saved from an extremely full NYC shelter. She’s currently looking for a home of her own!

Kuromi our first cleft palate kitten. She’s almost 7 months old and doing so well. She’s been up for adoption for months now, but due to her other health issues, she’s been a tough case to find a match for 🙁

Last but definitely not least is Fudge 🐻 he may be a tiny brown bear disguised as a frenchie. 🤫 😂 he has a cleft lip and we’ve been suspicious he may have hydro but only time will tell.

Whew! That’s a wrap for now 🥂 we have a feeling this year is gonna be a busy one!

Thank you everyone for being here as we start 2025 together.
Let’s share some cute animals and spread some kindness and awareness 🐶🐾🩷

Saying goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025 🐾🥳

We have had an amazing year of educating and saving lives. There’s been many ups and downs and that’s just the reality of rescue. ❤️‍🩹

This has been an incredible year of meeting new people, gaining more knowledge and so many adoptions!

Kyle and myself are so grateful for our friends and family who are beyond patient with all of our rescue shenanigans 🤪

To our jobs who provide us the flexibility to do this! We know that’s not possible for many people.

Let 2025 bring more of us together to help save the perfectly imperfect 🥰

❤️💚 Happy Holidays 💚❤️

To all of our followers, friends, family, adopters, and more, we send you all of the love we all deserve this time of year.

Enjoy this season in whatever capacity that looks like.

For us it’s tube feedings and sleepless nights 😂 and movies 🎥 with our family with dogs 🐶 and cats 🐱 on our laps 🛋️

It’s time to formally introduce FUDGE🧸

I’m pretty sure he’s a tiny bear, or maybe an Ewok? Or some sort of ? 🪄

We are told he’s a Frenchie, but I definitely think he’s something more amazing 🤩 😍

Baby Fudge is 5 weeks old, he has a cleft lip, palate is intact. I’m suspicious of hydro, but it’s always hard to tell on tiny brachy breed puppies. They all have giant heads at this age 😂

He’s a perky strong little guy. He loves to eat his puppy mousse, but reallly loves to have his formula 😋 so we’ve been using a miracle ni**le and doing lots of feedings to keep his blood sugar up. He’s super tiny, still under a pound, so it’s important to do consistent meals.

Fudge has already stolen my heart ❤️
Swipe 👉🏼 to see why.
(He’s the doppelgänger of a tiny Brickles)

Please send all the positive vibes our way!
