Foster needed for Bram!

Bram is a happy boy at 70+lbs and approx 4 years old.
Neutered Male, Bully Mix

Bram does happy dances when he sees you. He also will spin in circles!

He loves to be outside, as soon as you open the door to the yard he will jump down and run out the door.
He loves car rides he will sit in the back seat and look out the window.

Bram says:
I was saved from euthanasia on June 21, 2023 from an over crowded shelter
I’m a very happy boy!
I’m dog friendly (Bram’s play style is more dominate)
Kid friendly
I’m not a jumper and I love everyone around me.
I love playing outside, I can keep myself busy with a toy but would much rather have another dog to share it with.
I’m fully potty trained, crate trained
I don’t mind sharing my toys, I don’t show any aggression with food or treats.
I love treats of all kinds, I’m not picky! When I come in I’ll run to my crate and sit nice for my treat. I’m always up for an adventure if you want to go for a walk, run, hike, or just curl up to cuddle I’ll be content with anything.
I’m just an all around great boy. Don’t take my word for it, fill out my application to witness it yourself. Thank you for reading my plea for a home. Love Bram

Carmen needs a foster!

Meet Carmen!
Mixed Breed
Spayed female, 1-2 years old
✅Dog friendly

Carmen is described as front and center!
She is a fun girl and does well with various play groups.
We are told Carmen began service dog training before she was surrendered back to a facility due to change in owner’s life.

Carmen and her outspoken nature would do well in any adoptive home. She loves to take leadership and show the scared fosters confidence. She also can be very laid back she has that perfect balance.

Carmen is crate trained, potty trained, can play well with all types of personalities from low energy to high energy dogs. She is very quiet in her crate and will sleep sound through the night.

Carmen has had no issues being out of the crate other than her zoomies you won't want to miss out on she is comical bucking her back legs prancing around, cutest zoomies ever!!

She will come for cuddles but won't stay long she likes her independence and play time.

She loves being outdoors playing with rope toys or rings always trying to get another dog to play with her. She is not a resource guarder and will share everything she has.

She will go into her crate waiting for her treat. She does not fuss in there at all. She loves her comfy bed with her blanket, she will fluff up her blanket into a ball on her bed and lay across it.

Carmen is sweet, playful ad well mannered. She does pull a bit on her leash on the start of a walk due to her excitement, harness she is the same, she gets the wiggles after a few minutes she settles down and walks normal. She has shown no aggression to people or dogs. She has not tested with cats. Carmen is one happy dog who just wants to find a home she can settle in. ❤

Bentley is Available for Adoption! 🐶💛🐾

Boston Terrier Mix
8 months old
Neutered Male

Bentley is a super goofy, fun loving dude who quickly becomes best friends with everyone he meets.

Bentley is very trainable, he has great food drive and picks things up very quickly!

Bentley just makes everyone around him laugh. He's great with both dogs and cats!

He has not had any accidents in the house and goes potty in a very timely fashion when you bring him out. It may take a minute for him to settle in his crate, but he quiets down very quickly. He does like having a TV or radio going when he is in his crate if there isn't a dog or human in the room! He is crated when left alone and at bedtime

Bentley would do great in just about any situation! He loves training, going for hikes and playing in the yard.

Carrot and Mushroom are ready to find foster homes! 🥕💛🍄
We shared their welcome post previously, they have now received vetting including alters and have been adjusting to the world from a foster home.

❣️ FOSTERS NEEDED ASAP! ❣️

Carrot - Yellow Lab Mix, Female, 37 lbs
Approx 10 months

Mushroom - Grey Pit Mix, Male, 37 lbs
Approx 10 months

Carrot & Mushroom have been making great strides in the foster home but they are both VERY shy dogs. It is important they transition to separate homes to learn to socialize with others and to prevent littermate syndrome from developing further.

We do not recommend either going to homes with young children as they can be flight risks with open doors.

Neither would be a fit to be unattended outside and must use martingale collars and leash at all times. They are both terrified of loud sounds and not used to unpredictable movements. Carrot is very unsure of the car. However she will follow Mushroom where ever he goes. They will be transitioning from a foster home that describes themselves as very quiet.

💛Carrot has learned she loves to sit on the sofa and have her belly rubbed after playing outside!

🐶Carrot and Mushroom love to play tug with each other and are warming up to human interaction. They love stuffed toys!

✅They are dog friendly, Carrot will chase the cat in her foster home in a playful manner.

They are both crate trained and sleep soundly through the night (after exercise!).

💛They love positive reinforcement and praise! Soft, encouraging voices and lots of love is all they need.

Another rescue mission COMPLETED ✅
This one is especially near and dear to our hearts, as moved 104 animals in 2 days in honor of the loss of Hero Pilot Seuk Kim.

We are so grateful of the team at Pilots N Paws for including us on this massive rescue mission and to all of the rescues, coordinators, volunteers and pilots for working together to bring these animals to their homes for the holidays! 🐾❤️✈️🎄

Wings of Freedom welcomed Dusty, Peanut, Ramona, Parker, and four tiny little pups over the weekend!

Just several days prior we also welcomed Dolly, Turkey, Aurora and our Rudolph litter, all thanks to these hero pilots.

8 Pilots n Paws pilots had volunteered for these rescue missions, with Kley Parkhurst and co-pilot Benjamin, Conor McKinight, and CJ Owens directly involved in the CT arrivals. Behind the scenes magic happens thanks to coordinator Sydney Galley.

We will all continue to rescue, volunteer, and lend helping hands to honor the legacy Seuk Kim has left behind.

Harper is house and crate trained. We are told she has some anxiety when left alone. She loves to snuggle and be near her people.

A hefty collection of Darlin photos, from snugs to adventures!
We encourage you to come meet this fantastic girl at tomorrows adoption event!

Here’s what Darlin has to say…

You may have heard about me before, but now I have officially perfected my best friend skills and I am seeking applications for my new best pal!
✅Meeting new people and dogs? I want to be friends with them ALL!
❤️On demand snuggle buddy? Count me in, I’ll be little spoon.
🚙Trip in the car? I’ll take shotgun.
🐶Going anywhere, doing anything, or nothing at all? I’ll quite literally be right by your side.

I’m an incredibly happy pup who is really just content having a human pal. I love to give hugs and kisses, and I quite literally flop onto my back with glee anytime I get attention from my favorite humans. I’ve even been known to play patty cake with their hands and my paws, and toss a ball to myself. I’ll really do anything to get those belly scratches!

I am a dream to walk on the leash, I like to keep the pace of my humans. I am even known to wait up for my senior foster brother when he lags behind. I am very respectful of that grandpa’s space too. ❤️

I am very gentle at taking treats, I love to cuddle my humans at night and especially lay my head on their feet, and I am quite a considerate playmate with humans, dogs, and my toys alike.

🐶I know I am biased, but I think I am pretty much the whole package. My foster fam agrees!

Cube is looking handsome as ever this holiday season! 🐾🎄❤️
Looking for a couch potato as your new bestie?
He’s your guy!

Meet Cube!
Neutered Male
5 years old, 90lbs
Low energy, easy going
✅Dog friendly
No cats for this guy

Cube is a true people dog. He is very friendly with everyone he meets.
Cube just loves to hang out and be with his people. He has a calm energy level, but does get super excited when you come home. Minimal jumping.

Cube is super lossy and snuggly. He gives lots of love and wants lots of love from his people.

Cube is easy to walk and despite his size, he is gentle with treats. He is house trained and does not have accidents.

Cube is fostered with 8 and 9 year old kids and does very well. He is alarmed by young babies crying and becomes too fixated/concerned.

Cube requires slow introductions with other dogs inside the home. This is also for the benefit of resident dogs since there is a new dynamic in the home. He has done well with meets on neutral territory.
