FOSTER FOUND THANK YOU ALL! 💜 💛

💜 FOSTER PLEA: Bubba Needs a Soft Place to Land 💛

Bubba is looking for a very special foster to give him a few days of love, comfort, and a cozy place to rest. 🐾

Our sweet boy has been struggling with declining mobility, more frequent falls, and signs of cognitive decline. After a quality-of-life evaluation and careful consideration, the difficult decision has been made to say goodbye to Bubba next Thursday.

Before that day comes, we desperately want to give him something every dog deserves: the chance to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a home.

We know this is a big ask, especially knowing that our time with Bubba is limited. But you don't have to commit to weeks or months to make a difference. Even a few days of soft beds, gentle affection, and someone by his side could mean the world to him.

💛 Can you give Bubba a few days of love before we say goodbye?

If you can open your home to Bubba, even just for a short time, please reach out. If you can't foster, please share this post to help us find the person who can.

Let's make sure Bubba knows just how loved he is. He deserves to spend his final days surrounded by comfort, kindness, and people who care. 💜

💜💛 Medical Foster Needed for Heartley! 💛💜

Sweet Heartley is looking for a medical foster to help her recover from a non-healing wound at her amputation site. She needs twice-daily flushing of the wound and will need continued medical care while she heals.

We would prefer a foster who is able to bring Heartley back to the shelter for medical appointments during the week, as we do not have a veterinarian available on weekends.

If you’re able to foster Heartley or would like more information about what her care would involve, please reach out to [email protected].

If you can’t foster but would still like to help Heartley, please consider donating toward her medical care by clicking here: https://certifiedpayments.net/PaymentWizard_3.aspx

Even if you can’t foster or donate, please consider sharing this post to help us find the right home for her! 💜💛🐾

💜💛 Chai Needs a Foster! 🐾

Sweet senior lady Chai is looking for a cozy foster home where she can rest, recover from a URI, and continue gaining weight. 💜

Chai came to us very skinny and missing hair due to malnutrition. She’s slowly gaining weight, growing her hair back, and showing us what a sweet, happy, affectionate girl she is. She loves being loved on and is simply happiest with her people. 🥹💛

She just needs someone who can give her a comfortable place to rest, keep an eye on her while she heals, and make sure she’s getting plenty of meals and TLC.

If you can foster Chai, please email [email protected]. 💜💛

Can’t foster? Please share this post! You might be the reason Chai finds her perfect recovery spot. 🐾

💜💛 Betsy Needs a Foster! 🐱🐾

Sweet senior Betsy is looking for a quiet, comfortable foster home where she can relax and be spoiled while our medical team continues to monitor her. 💜

Betsy is an older girl who is very underweight and has weakness in her back legs. She also has some mild incontinence, so her foster will need to keep an eye on her bathroom habits and help keep her clean and comfortable when needed.

She’s currently taking a few medications and will need a little extra monitoring, but there are no activity or dietary restrictions.

We’re looking for someone who can:
🐾 Give Betsy her medications
🐾 Keep an eye on her bathroom habits
🐾 Monitor her overall comfort and quality of life
🐾 Give her a calm, cozy place to rest
🐾 Most importantly, give this sweet senior girl lots of love 💜💛

Betsy will have a medical recheck in about 3 weeks so we can see how she’s doing and determine her next steps.

If you have room in your home and heart for a senior kitty who needs some extra TLC, please email [email protected]. 🐾💜💛

Even if you can’t foster Betsy, sharing this post could help us find her person!

FOSTERS FOUND THANK YOU!
🐾💜💛 PUPPY FOSTERS NEEDED! 💛💜🐾

We have 8 little puppies, around 5–8 weeks old, who are looking for foster homes! They’re from two separate litters, and we have a little bit of everything. 🥹

🐾5 skinny babies who could use some extra TLC, good meals, and a cozy place to grow and gain some weight.

🐾3 chunky floofs who are a little more filled out and ready for some puppy adventures!

The best part? They only need a 1–2 week foster stay while they get some time out of the shelter and prepare for their next steps.

Because these puppies are from two separate litters, the litters cannot be housed together. The larger group of five can also be split up and sent to foster in groups of 2–3, so you don’t have to take all five!

🦴 We’re also looking for donations of wet puppy food to help keep these little ones well-fed while they grow!

Interested in fostering or donating? Email [email protected] for more info! 💜💛🐾

🎃👻 Meet Beetle Juice! This spooky pookie is looking for a foster home! 🐈‍⬛💜💛

Beetle Juice is diabetic and needs a dedicated foster who can help him maintain a consistent routine with twice-daily insulin, diabetic-friendly wet food, and monitoring of his eating, drinking, litterbox habits, and weight. 🐱🐾

Our medical team can teach his foster how to administer his insulin, so you don’t need prior experience; just a willingness to learn and commit to his care. 💜

Can’t foster? You can still help! 🐾💛 Please share Beetle Juice’s post to help us find his perfect foster, or consider donating diabetic-friendly cat food to support him and other diabetic cats in our care. 🐱

Help us keep this Beetle Juice out of the shelter and give him a cozy home where he can thrive! 🐾💛💜

🚨 ALERT: WE NEED FOSTERS 🚨

We are approaching 220 dogs on campus, and we are desperately in need of foster homes to help us create some much-needed space.

Meet some of the dogs in Dog Adoption Room 1! Some are dogs we already have foster notes on, while others are dogs we’re hoping to get more information on.

These are just a few of the many dogs currently available for foster. Opening your home to even ONE dog can make a huge difference and create a kennel for another dog who needs us.

You’re always welcome to come to the shelter in person to meet dogs available for foster. Our lifesaving team would be happy to help you find a good match!

📍 Visit us any day between 12 PM and 6 PM to meet our available foster dogs. 💜💛

🚌🚚🚠⛴️🚇🛶 MEET OUR TRANSPORTATION-THEMED CREW! 💜💛

These six little travelers are named Bus, Truck, Gondola, Ferry, Subway, and Dinghy. These 7 week old little babies are looking for a temporary place to stop and stay a little bit! 🐾💜

Fostering would not only give them the time and environment they need to learn and grow, but also help protect them from exposure to illness in a busy shelter environment while they’re still young and developing. 🏡💛

And the best part? You do NOT need to take all six! We are happy to place 2–3 puppies together in a foster home, so you can help without taking on the whole crew. 💜

We’re looking for temporary foster homes where these little ones can grow, learn, play, and get lots of love while they wait for their next destination.

These guys only need a foster for about a week. Enough just to help them get where they’re going! 🚌💛

🐾 If you can open your home to Bus, Truck, Gondola, Ferry, Subway, or Dinghy (even just 2–3!), please contact our foster team at [email protected].

🐾All aboard! These six are ready for their next stop. 🚌💜💛

💛 FOSTER NEEDED: TOMMY PICKLES🥒 💜

Tommy Pickles is one incredibly resilient boy, and he is doing so well on his road to recovery! This sweet pup has been through head trauma, a broken lower jaw, dry eye in his left eye, and the removal of his right eye. Despite everything, Tommy is eating well, walking on his own with only mild unsteadiness, and showing improvement every day. 💜

🐾Tommy is currently taking pain and eye medications for the next 14 days, when he will have an in-person recheck with the shelter veterinarian to evaluate his jaw, eye, and overall healing.

🐾 His nylon muzzle must stay on at all times, except for approximately 10–20 minutes during meals and drinking, for the next 2–4 weeks to give his jaw the best chance to heal properly.

🐾 For the next 2 weeks, Tommy needs wet food or soaked/softened dry food while his jaw continues to heal.

🐾 The good news? Tommy has been cleared for longer outings and activity as he tolerates it! He can start enjoying a little more of the world while still being monitored and allowed to rest when he needs it.

Tommy will need another evaluation after about 4 weeks to determine whether his muzzle can finally come off and whether any additional treatment for his jaw will be necessary. 💜

Tommy's overall prognosis is GOOD! With consistent care, medication, careful monitoring, and follow-up, he has a very good chance of continuing to improve and living a happy, comfortable life, but he is already showing us just how strong he is. 💛

Tommy will need a patient and gentle foster who understands that he has been through a lot and may need some time to get comfortable and build trust with his new person. He doesn't need someone to fix everything; he just needs someone willing to give him a safe place to heal and be patient with him along the way. 💜

If you can open your home to Tommy Pickles and help him through these final weeks of recovery, please consider fostering this brave boy!💛

Please share Tommy 🥒's story! The perfect foster could be just one share away. 🐾

💜 Tommy has fought so hard to get here. Now he just needs someone to help him make it all the way home. 💛
