🤭 Apparently one of the resident doggos in Kara’s home has something to share today. He has blackmailed us into posting it so here we go…

🎤 Ah, hum. Mic check 1-2-3…

Bettis here. Mom has lost her fluffing mind. Again. 🙄

THREE dogs left our house in the last two weeks. THREE. I thought, “Damn. We’re finally getting somewhere.”

More couch. More belly rubs. Less random dogs touching my s**t.

Then this woman comes home with ANOTHER DOG.

Meet Zero. 👻🤍

Zero boundaries. Zero self-control. Zero chance my mother ever says, “You know what? We have enough dogs.”

And now I’m getting the whole “Bettis, she’s had a hard life” speech.

Bro. I didn’t even say anything yet. I was LOOKING.

Apparently she’s been starving, she needs somewhere safe, and Mom “couldn’t leave her.”

Yeah. We know, Kara. You’ve literally never left one. 😑

So now there’s a little ghost-looking girl in my house, eating our food and getting MY “who’s a good baby” voice.

Whatever. She can stay.

She’s actually pretty chill, and watching her realize there’s more food coming is… yeah. That s**t gets me.

Welcome home, Zero. Mom’s nuts, but she’s got you. ❤️

Touch my favorite toy, though, and we’re having a conversation.

— Bettis 🐾
Still Mom’s first choice. Don’t fact-check that.

••• Stay tuned for pupdates on Zero! 👻 •••

Shyla LOVES dogs. People are still going through the interview process. 😂🐾

Our girl is coming along SO well in her foster home, and we’re loving watching her get comfortable enough to let her personality out. ❤️

Other dogs? Hell yes. A playful doggo friend is absolutely on her wish list. Humans? She’d appreciate a little patience before you start the whole “LET ME LOVE YOU” routine. Give the girl a minute. 😂

Shyla is about a year old, fully vetted and heartworm negative! Breed? Your guess is as good as ours. Whippet? Greyhound? Terrier? Some combination of legs and sweetness? 🤷‍♀️ All we know for sure is she’s gorgeous and sweet.

Her ideal home comes with:

🐶 A playful canine buddy to help show her the ropes
🏡 A secure fenced yard
❤️ Patient people who let her get comfy at her own pace—without taking it personally

She doesn’t need you to have all the answers. Just a little patience, a dog who wants a friend, and the understanding that trust takes more than a “who’s a good girl?” and a cheese stick. 🧀

Think you have a doggo that Shyla’s kind of style?

💕 Baby & Bella have been through so much together. Now, we’d love for them to find their happily ever after together, too.

These sweet girls have shown us just how strong they are as they heal from a traumatic past. After everything they’ve endured, they still have so much sweetness and love to give. 🥹🐾

One thing has become clear: Baby & Bella are bonded. They find comfort in each other, and we would love to find a home with room for BOTH girls.

🎉 We are officially accepting adoption applications!

We’re still finalizing their vetting needs, but we’d love to connect with families interested in adopting or fostering to adopt them together.

Two girls who have already faced so much deserve a future where they can feel safe, loved, and at home—with each other by their side. ❤️

🐻 Throwback Thursday, Bear edition… and y’all, look at this big ol’ boy now! 🥹💛

About a year and a half ago, Bear came to us malnourished, scared, and without a clue how to even be a dog. Seeing him then, we wanted so badly for him to know what it felt like to be safe and loved.

Bear has spent these past YEAR living his absolute BEST life—with the biggest heart, a love for toys, and a passion for long hikes! 🧸🐾🌲

We couldn’t be happier for this boy and the family who helped him become the Bear he was always meant to be.

Keep enjoying every mile, every toy, and every bit of that love, sweet Bear. You’ve got two years of the good life behind you and so much more ahead. 🐻💛

🍂 Good beautiful fall morning from the happiest girl around—Miley! ☀️🐾

Those ears. That bounce. That little face that looks like she’s never had a bad day. 🥹

But we remember when she was so vulnerable. And one of the most heartfelt parts of Miley’s transformation goes far beyond her physical appearance…

Our girl has become a safety net for another scared, shy dog in rescue. The girl who once needed reassurance is now helping someone else feel safe. ❤️

Watching her find her confidence has been amazing. But seeing this bouncy, happy girl shine in real life? Y’all, you really have to meet her.

🍁 Meet your new little sunshine:
🐶 Approximately 5 months old
🐾 Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix
💉 Up to date on age-appropriate vetting; spay scheduled
🏡 Crate and potty trained
🎓 Knows basic commands and loves her toys
🐕 Would thrive with a playful doggy companion
🌳 A fenced yard would be best for her adventures
🧡 Best suited to a home without small children

Miley has found her happy. Now she needs her people to share it with. Message us or fill out the form below to meet her! 🍂🐾

What the f*ck, y’all. George is STILL single. 😂🐾

He’s been in rescue since he was 2–3 WEEKS OLD. He has literally grown an entire dog while waiting for someone to pick him.

Meanwhile, some of y’all have taken the same disappointing man back FOUR TIMES. Give George a chance. 💀

Let’s review his qualifications:

✅ House trained. The bar is low, but he clears it.
✅ Crate trained. Enjoys his own space. Healthy boundaries.
✅ Fully vetted & heartworm negative. Has actually been to the doctor.
✅ Knows basic commands. You say something… he LISTENS. Imagine.
✅ Loves fetch and swimming. Actual hobbies.
✅ Adoption fee SPONSORED. His move-in expenses are covered.

George is a young Staffy mix with an old-man soul. He wants a quiet life, a ball, and someone to sit next to. He’s basically retired without ever having paid a bill.

He’d do best as your only dog or with a submissive dog buddy. A fenced yard is a bonus, but isn’t required.

Handsome. Unemployed. Ready to move in.
Okay, that part sounds like your ex. But George has references. 😂❤️

📩 Message us to meet George. This boy deserves a last name and a designated couch cushion.

❤️ Mocha is loved beyond words, even when the fit isn’t right. But now he needs a new foster home ASAP.😢

🛋️ Yes, we are looking for a new place for Mocha to crash.

🏚️ Yes, he’s been bounced around A LOT in his 3.5 years with us.

💔 Yes, we’re heartbroken that we still haven’t found the right match.

👩‍🏫 And yes, our trainers are still involved.

This time, the doggos in Mocha’s current home simply aren’t the right personality match. Sometimes things go well… until they don’t. It’s heartbreaking for everyone involved, especially the boy who has to pack his bags again. 😔

Here’s what you need to know about Mocha:

🐾 Approximately 4-year-old pittie mix.
🐶 Loves doggy friends who enjoy his roughhousing style of play—compatibility matters!
🏡 Fenced yard required.
🚫 No cats.
✅ Fully vetted.
🎓 Has completed professional board and train programs and learned so many great fundamentals.
💕 Can sometimes become protective of women, so he needs someone willing to work with us and our trainers on consistent boundaries.

We love this boy, and we made a promise to never give up on him. Finding his match means being honest about both the wonderful parts and the things he still needs help with. 🙏🏼

📧 Please message us or email us at [email protected] if you can foster Mocha.

If you can’t foster, please share. He’s had so many people rooting for him—we need someone who can make room for him, too. 🐾
