Deep thoughts by Maggie the fruit bat…🍓🦇✨

If only we could read her mind. Her eyes peeking out beneath her Gandalf brows say so much. Maybe she’s mad at her foster for the long day at the vet. Maybe she’s thinking about cheese. Maybe she’s plotting her next evil sneak attack on the house cat who is four times her size. 🐈‍⬛ What we know for sure, is that she has a gnarly allergy to something still unknown. She is being poked and prodded with 3 medications, a topical spray (she HATES), medicated flushes, and a soothing salve. Thankfully, she should be better in no time.

Her total today was $253.54, which reflects our rescue discount. We would be very, very grateful for your financial support. Donations can be made here (thank you!!❤️):

He needs a hero.

❤️ Adopted! ~ Brother Mr Beefy is still available! ❤️

Adorabull and adoptabull! Little Nicky is just waiting for tomorrow.....perched. 😍

Tomorrow he hopes to have a home! 🤞

It's amazing that Little Nicky and his brother have been waiting, but we understand that taking on a Bulldog mix is a big commitment!

These boys have great temperaments and greet everyone and every dog with a waddle, wiggle and look of "cute".

✨️ We open Wednesday at 10am! ✨️

‼️‼️HELP! We need your donations.‼️‼️

Maggie has an unusual and very itchy spot on her neck. It’s somewhat large for her size and worrisome. She will receive veterinary care to try and determine what the heck this is.

Maggie has spent the day being carried around and nestled into her foster as her foster works, since a cone is not an option where this is located. Maggie doesn’t seem to mind, but is not her normal, spritely self. She didn’t even react to her foster’s dirty socks. (If you’ve been following her story you know how unusual that is.😢🧦She even mustered the energy to retrieve them after her recent dental surgery.)

We would really appreciate your donations. No amount is ever too small. Here are ways to help:

I'm getting some serious sass from Cannoli, who's throwing a tantrum as I try to drag him outside. When I called him to join the other dogs outside, he gave me the ultimate puppy dog eye-roll, flopped onto his back, and pretended to snooze. If you're in the market for a dog who will roll over at the words go outside then Cannoli is your boy. If you don’t mind a dog who will throw his bowl at you because it’s empty Cannoli is your boy. All joking aside Cannoli is one of the best little dogs we’ve had in our rescue. He is a chug, he weighs about 12 pounds, he is neutered vaccinated and microchip, and he is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. Cannoli is currently located in Pomona California if you are interested in meeting this wonderful dog, please go to our website and complete our application at www.gunterslegacy.org/Adopt

🌷🌷🌷NAOMI🌷🌷🌷
(Grass Valley, CA - available)

Naomi is such a love. Heterchromia gives her a unique look through two different and beautifully colored eyes. 🩵

Naomi was lovingly surrendered to GLAR when her former owner wanted more for Naomi than what she was able to provide. Since joining our rescue, she's been caught up on overdue vetting and a given a whole bunch of love through her foster. But what she most needs is her forever home.

Please like, comment, and share to help Naomi be seen. You can learn more about sweet Naomi here:

We love a good alumni update.🥹😍

If you don’t remember, Otis came to us from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento. He arrived with a slew of health issues. His foster-turned-forever-mom, Sarah, stepped right in and took the lead helping to connect him with the care he needed. In the process, Sarah and Otis came to realize they had found forever in one another. We couldn’t have been happier when she decided to adopt him.

Sarah sent these photos of Otis enjoying the sling life. She added, “He's amazing! He always wants to be close to people. Finally heard him bark a few days ago, I couldn't figure out which one was barking because I didn't expect it to be him. 😆 He has three teeth left after his dental, is a happy little guy most of the time, but plays the part of grumpy old man to a T.” How wonderful for Otis that he gets to. ❤️

A very special thanks to Sarah for the update. It is our truest hope that each and every dog that enters our rescue could be afforded a long and happy life, especially in their senior years. We have so many wonderful dogs that have been overlooked for too long. If you’ve been considering adoption, please remember our available dogs. You can learn more about them through the link below. And just a reminder, Joey’s adoption fee remains fully sponsored, and Piper’s adoption fee is reduced. Please get in touch to learn more.

A little update on Potato… who may be more of a baked Potato at the moment. 🤭😵‍💫

His foster reports that he did quite well today, despite refusing to cooperate for anyone but her. We can’t say we blame him. ❤️ He is under her and his foster sibling’s watchful care tonight. We trust he’ll be back to his joyful antics in no time.

We appreciate any donations. He is already scheduled for his boosters. The costs to run a rescue never end. Fortunately, these little ones are more than worth it. Here are ways to help:

The verdict may still be out on the use of AI, but Harvey appreciates getting its help in portraying his inner Elizabethan self. All Hail His Majesty Harv, Duke of Sacton (as one volunteer put it). 🤭👑

Do you have a favorite AI enhanced photo of your beloved animal family member? We’d love to see it in the comments below. 📸

…and if you don’t, and if you’d like to, might you consider some of our adoptable dogs who have been waiting a long, long time to be the king and queens of a forever family. You can find them here:

This morning Potato had to leave the luxurious comfort of his foster family to be neutered and vaccinated. 🫢 Thanks to his foster and the veterinary care Potato has received, he is finally healthy enough to be vaccinated.

Please send your well wishes his way for a successful and safe surgery. And please, if you are able, send any donations here (no amount is too small and we can always, always use them!):

Potato, enjoying his first ever pup cup. He’s a turkey and his adoring foster has nothing but great things to say about him. 🥔🦃

The Potato man isn’t available for adoption, but will be after he is neutered tomorrow. We are accepting applications now, however. ❤️ He is being fostered in Sacramento, CA.

Potato isn’t yet on our website but he is 12lbs and guessed to be 2 years old. You can find our adoption application here:

🌸🐾 Adopt Darby! 🐾🌸
(Roseville, CA - available)

Sweet face Darby is guessed to be 10 or 11 years old. She is 16 pounds of love. She’s been waiting patiently for her forever home, but so far has had no luck finding it. 🙁

Darby came to us with some skin issues, but thanks to her foster’s care and a special hydrolyzed diet, she’s doing much better. She’ll need someone who can help her stay on track with her allergies and ear care. Her foster says she is worth every bit of the TLC. ❤️

Darby may be a “senior,” but don’t tell her that. Her favorite thing is rolling in the grass like a puppy 🌱🐶 (probably not the best for her allergies, but it makes her so happy!).

Darby would love a quiet home where she can be your little shadow and finally get the forever family she deserves.

✨Please share to help Darby find her people!✨ And if you see her darling self and know she’s the one for you, apply to adopt Darby here:
