Well, apparently we're not getting our sh*t together fast enough for . 🙄😂

So she's decided she'll just WALK HER DAMN SELF.

On a SHATTERED pelvis. With an SI luxation. While waiting for major orthopedic surgery.

I guess nobody told this little badass that she's BROKEN.

I swear, this is one of the toughest dogs I've EVER met.

Asha, sweetheart, could you PLEASE take it easy for just TWO MORE DAYS?! 🥴❤️🐾

💔 THREE INCREDIBLE LITTLE DOGS. OVER A MONTH. NOT ONE SINGLE MEET & GREET. 💔

Not one. And we just don't understand why. 😭

, , and are three absolutely WONDERFUL little pups who have been waiting OVER A MONTH for someone to notice them. Someone to fall in love. Someone to give them the happy endings they deserve.

But nobody is coming. 🥺

No applications. No meet & greets. Not even a chance to show a potential family how incredible they are.

And friends, it's breaking our hearts. 💔

These are GOOD dogs. Really, REALLY good little dogs. They're sweet, they're deserving, and they have SO much love to give. They just need someone willing to give them a chance.

🐾 SO WE'RE MAKING A DEAL WITH THE UNIVERSE! 🐾

For THIS WEEK ONLY, we're reducing the adoption fees for Brynn, Branston, and Bronco by $100 EACH!

Our goal? THREE DOGS. THREE FAMILIES. THREE HAPPY ENDINGS. THIS WEEK! ❤️

And there's something else we need to share.

🚨 WE ARE CLOSING INTAKE. 🚨

And this is the part that REALLY hurts.

We have the ability to help animals in need. What we don't have are enough people willing to say YES when an animal desperately needs somewhere to go.

We're currently managing several serious medical cases, our available foster placements are painfully limited, and we simply cannot keep taking in more animals without people stepping up to help.

WE HAVE NO SPACE FOR MORE DOGS.

Until we can get our currently available dogs adopted and find more people willing to open their homes to foster, we have no choice but to close intake.

That means saying NO to animals we desperately want to help. Animals who may have nowhere else to turn.

And that's devastating.

Every adoption creates an opportunity. Every new foster home creates another lifeline. But we simply can't save dogs we have nowhere to put. 💔

🎃🐾 HOWL-O-WEEN 2026 WAS A HOWLING GOOD TIME! 🐾👻

Whaaaaaat an incredible day!!! 🧡

So many members of our amazing pack came out to pawty with us on Saturday, and let me tell you, the creativity, imagination, and downright ridiculousness of some of those costumes DID NOT DISAPPOINT. 😂👏

One of our favorite parts of these events is getting to see so many of our former rescue kiddos again, happy, healthy, ridiculously loved, and living their absolute best lives with their equally fabulous families. 🥹❤️

And then there are the dogs who weren't technically adopted from us but have become honorary members of our pack anyway. We're looking at YOU, Lulu and Norman! 😂❤️

BIG Thanks to our incredible hosts again this year, Resolute Brewing Company, who graciously opened their doors and let our pack come flooding in with a gazillion perfect pooches. They serve up fabulous craft b**r and make sure everyone is taken care of. THANK YOU!

A HUGE shoutout to Pam, who somehow manages to outdo herself every single year! She put together another absolutely stunning event that ran like a well-oiled machine. The prizes for our fundraisers were GORGEOUS, and every little detail was thoughtfully planned.

And our INCREDIBLE volunteer team! ❤️ These wonderful humans worked their tails off running the festivities, caring for the dogs, keeping things organized, and making sure everyone had a fantastic time. We couldn't do any of this without them!

To everyone who came out, dressed up, participated, volunteered, supported our fundraisers, or just stopped by to say hello, THANK YOU! These events remind us just how special this crazy little rescue family really is. 🧡

📸 Now, without further ado, please enjoy some photographic evidence of the absolute nonsense and fabulousness that was HOWL-O-WEEN 2026! 😂🐾

Don't mind me. I'm just over here being completely in love with this sweet boy. 🥹🤍

was enjoying a little sunshine after his shower this morning, and I found myself just standing there, watching him.

The way the sunlight caught every one of his beautiful white feathers. The little flash of yellow behind his head. Those impossibly blue eyes. And the way he just sat there, soaking up the warmth, looking so peaceful and content.

I don't know why, but it brought tears to my eyes.

Maybe because I know how much he's been through. Maybe because I know how hard he's fighting. Or maybe because sometimes you love a little creature so much that even the simplest, most ordinary moments feel extraordinary.

We're now four weeks into his anti-inflammatory injections.

He hates them.

I hate them, too.

Every time, I tell him how sorry I am. I tell him I'm only doing this because I love him so much and I want him to feel better.

I've always told the animals in my care that my hands will never hurt them.

And I hope, somehow, they understand that when my hands do have to hurt them, it's only because I'm trying to help them.

That's one of the hardest parts of loving animals who can't understand why we're doing something that hurts. We can't explain that we're trying to make tomorrow a little better. We just have to hope they trust us enough to forgive us for today. 💔

I can't say for certain that the injections are helping as much as we'd hoped. But Flutter IS more mobile, and the constant trembling he was experiencing HAS improved.

So there's something. And right now, I'll gladly take something.

His wonderful doctor has been checking in on him, and we'll likely be discussing our next steps later this week. 🙏

In the meantime, we're taking things one day at a time.

And this morning, as I stood there completely captivated by my little fighter, watching the sunshine dance across his feathers, I realized that I don't need every moment to be a milestone.

Sometimes, I just need a moment like this.

A warm patch of sunshine. A freshly showered cockatoo. And the privilege of loving him for another day. 💜

Here are a few photos from our morning together. I couldn't possibly choose just one. 🥹

🐾💕ONE WEEK PUPDATE! 💕🐾

Can you believe our been with us for ONE WHOLE WEEK?! And somehow, in just one week, they’ve gone from tiny little newborn potatoes to 3-week-old puppies with BIG personalities! 🥹🐶
✨ All eyes are open!
🦷 Tiny little teeth are starting to come in!
🍼 They’ve all pretty much figured out the bottle!
🐾 They’re starting to play and interact with each other!
But mostly… they EAT, SLEEP, P*E, P**P & REPEAT! 😂

We do have a little health concern we’re keeping a close eye on. Three of the six babies have developed some flaky skin and areas of hair loss. We’ll be seeing the vet on Monday and are hoping they can do a skin scrape to help us figure out exactly what we’re dealing with. Fingers crossed it’s something simple and easily treatable! 🤞🏻❤️

Mama Kristie is officially EXHAUSTED. 😴☕️ But watching these babies grow and thrive makes every sleepless night, every load of laundry, and every “WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!” completely worth it. ❤️

They have SO much growing and learning ahead of them, and we can’t wait to watch their little personalities emerge!

10/17/2026

There is something happening in my house right now that I find absolutely fascinating. 🥹❤️

As many of you know, little is terribly injured and waiting for a major orthopedic surgery to repair her shattered pelvis. She can't really walk or move around, so for now, her entire little world is an orthopedic dog bed that we carry from room to room so she can always be with us.

I've already shared how my dogs seem to understand that something is wrong with her. They check on her, watch over her, and are remarkably gentle around her.

But THIS? This is something else entirely.

You need to understand something about my dogs.

They are heathens. 😂

Toy-stealing, treat-sn**ching, absolutely shameless little thugs with ZERO regard for personal property.

These dogs would steal a toy from a disabled toddler and sleep like babies that night. There are no rules. No honor among thieves. It's every dog for himself when toys are involved.

But when Asha arrived, I gave her two very special toys.

One was an Annie Bone, something incredibly sentimental to our rescue that we give to our most frightened or badly injured dogs. The other was a tiny squeaky Duckworth.

And not ONE of these hood-rats has touched either toy.

Not. One.

ZERO hood-rat s**t. For a WEEK! 😲

And see that little piece of sweet potato sitting on the edge of her bed?

THAT'S STILL HERS, TOO. 😂🥹

These are dogs who would happily sn**ch a treat right out of another dog's mouth without so much as a guilty conscience.

But nobody touches Asha's sweet potato.

I have lived with these dogs long enough to know just how extraordinary this is.

I can't tell you exactly what they understand about Asha's condition. But I can tell you that their behavior toward her is completely different from how they behave with one another.

They seem to recognize that this tiny, broken little girl needs something different from them.

And somehow, my gang of morally questionable hoodlums has collectively decided that Asha's things are off-limits.

Nobody taught them that. Nobody told them to leave her toys alone.

They just do.

Sometimes the compassion animals show one another absolutely takes my breath away. 🥹

I'm so ridiculously proud of my amazing little pack of compassionate kiddos. ❤️🐾
