📣 DAY 9 OF POSTING RUBY UNTIL SHE FINDS HER HUMANS 🥏🔥

Y’all… it’s Day 9. NINE.
At this point, Ruby has run enough zoomies to power the Eastern seaboard and possibly charge a Tesla. Meanwhile the universe is still like: “nah, let her cook.”

Cook WHAT?
She is a dog, not a crockpot.
(Although, given the speed she heats up the yard, she could slow-roast a brisket on a sunny day.)

💥 Current Ruby Stats:
• Age: 9–10 months
• Energy: Solar flare
• Smarts: Knows commands, learned door code somehow??
• Social skills: LOVES dog friends (but eats alone because she says, “Listen, Karen, I guard my snacks. Fight me.”)
• Crate trained ✅
• Potty trained ✅
• Athleticism: Would win gold in the Olympic Zoomies + Squeaky Toy Freestyle
• Aesthetic: Golden brown lightning bolt in fur form ⚡️
• Hobby: Beating the sound barrier, judging squirrels, training humans

She has been THRIVING in training and is now basically that kid in class who raises their hand before the question is finished.
“What’s 2 +—”
“SIT. LOOK. DOWN. TREAT PLS. THANK YOU.”

But as much as she loves learning…
Girly is SO READY for a home.

Whether you want a foster situation or you’re ready to adopt and claim your very own chaos nugget, Ruby is here like:

🥺 “Do you want a loyal adventure friend? I don’t shed tears, only joy and the occasional grass clippings.”

Plus her ears go boing like she’s powered by cartoon physics. That alone is worth a lifetime commitment, honestly.

🏠 What Ruby Wants:
• A family who likes fun
• A dog buddy who isn’t afraid of cardio
• A yard or someone who embraces being dragged at a healthy jogging pace
• A couch for her dramatic flops
• Humans who appreciate her “I WAS BORN FOR THE SPOTLIGHT✨” energy

If she’s still here by Day 30, we’re making her a dramatic Netflix documentary called “Ruby: Unadopted but Untamed.”

Let’s not get there.
Make today the day she goes from Rescue Rocket to Your Rocket 🚀❤️

This past weekend was a busy weekend with intakes of all sizes. These little guys were all surrendered. Currently there are 11 of them, but there is a possibility that more will be coming in. At least two of the females are pregnant and one is injured badly enough that it will need to see the vet. We will be looking for fosters and adopters very soon.

🌟 Senior Dog Spotlight: Pebble 🌟

✨ Age: 12 years
🐩 Breed: Miniature Poodle
💖 Personality: Gentle, cuddly, quiet companion
🏡 Ideal Home: Calm, cozy, and full of soft blankets
🌸 Special Notes: Limited vision in one eye, only a couple teeth left — but a whole heart full of love

💕 Meet Pebble — the Tiny Lap Cloud With a Giant Heart

Sometimes, the smallest dogs have the biggest stories — and Pebble is one of them.
This 12-year-old pocket-sized sweetheart has weathered life with gentle grace and now she’s searching for someone who will treasure every soft snore, every sleepy cuddle, and every warm nuzzle.

Pebble doesn’t ask for much.
Just a quiet home, a soft place to rest, and someone who understands that senior dogs aren’t “leftovers” — they’re love wrapped in wisdom and wrapped in fluff.

Her vision is limited in her one remaining eye, and with only a couple teeth left, she prefers soft food and soft beds. But she has zero limitations on love.
Pebble’s favorite thing in the world is curling up on a lap and snoozing the day away. If a lap isn’t available, she’ll nest herself on a pillow, blanket, or anything warm and cozy — like a tiny living marshmallow who has earned the right to be spoiled.

She is spayed, current on vaccinations, and ready to fill someone’s home with peace, comfort, and quiet companionship.

Pebble has already given her whole life to loving people.
Now she deserves someone who will love her back for the rest of hers. 🫶

If you believe senior dogs deserve a soft landing, Pebble is patiently waiting to meet you.

✨ Meet Abby! ✨
The tiny marshmallow who is equal parts sweetness, sass, and snuggles!

Abby is an 8-year-old spayed Maltese mix with a heart full of love and the softest little curls you’ve ever seen. She’s already fully vaccinated, housebroken (she just needs to potty a bit more frequently — small bladder, big personality 💁‍♀️), and she does well with other small, calm dog friends.

🩺 Medical Notes:
Abby’s body has a history of producing bladder stones. She had surgery just before joining us and has recovered beautifully. To help prevent stones in the future, she’ll need to stay on a prescription urinary diet for life — easy peasy and totally worth it for this level of cute.

💖 Her Personality:
Abby is a gentle soul who loves soft beds, cozy blankets, and being near her people. She has a calm, old-soul vibe and would thrive in a quieter home where she can relax, be adored, and enjoy the good life she deserves.

🏡 Perfect Home:
A calm home, someone who’s around often, plenty of cuddle time, and a soft spot on the couch (or your lap — she’s not picky).

Abby has been through a lot, and now she’s ready for the forever home her little heart has been dreaming of. 🤍

🐶💫 Could Abby be your new best friend?

Be a foster And help save the life of another dog.

I have been seeing so many dogs in need of help. Everyone tags rescues and screams "Save the dog!" but no one steps up to help. If you want the animals saved, you have to take action. Donate, volunteer or foster. Rescue takes a ton of money. Every dog needs vet care, most need training, food and time. Without donations, rescues cannot save them. Please dont just say "Save the dog" help make it happen. I see rescues begging and pleading for help with donations with no help yet are constantly asked to take more. Stop with the excuses. We all have full time jobs, bills, families, and multiple animals of our own. Every excuse you have, we have too but we still find a way. We donate, crate and rotate dogs who cannot be together, and somehow make room for just one more. That is what rescue is. You want the animals save find a way not an excuse!!!

The rescues listed below need donations and fosters to keep going!!! They want to help and take more, they can't without help!
