❤️🧡 Meet Miss “Emmie” Ember 🧡❤️

This adorable female Chow/Spitz mix is ready to find her forever home! Emmie is already winning hearts in foster care with her playful personality, love for affection, and undeniable main character energy ✨

Emmie LOVES pets and attention, enjoys chasing a ball around the yard, and is always happy to settle down with a toy or chew afterward. Emmie is spayed, appears to be potty trained with no accidents in foster care so far, and has done well with medium and large dogs. Small dog and cat compatibility is still being evaluated.

Emmie is the perfect mix of fluffy, playful, cuddly, and just a little dramatic in the most entertaining way possible. If you’re looking for a fun companion with a big personality and lots of love to give, Emmie may be your girl! 🐾

Emmie’s adoption profile and a link to her adoption application can be found below 🧡

🤍Meet Snowbell 🤍

At 7 years old and 37 lbs, Snowbell is the definition of gentle. The vet believes Snowbell suffered a slipped disc, causing her to temporarily lose the use of her back legs. Since then, she has spent weeks on strict kennel rest, medication, and laser therapy — and she has worked so hard to heal.

Now look at her go!

• Off all medication
• Drinking on her own again
• Back to eating dry kibble
• Improving more every single day

She is housebroken and wonderful with cats, dogs, and children. Truly the kind of dog who just wants love, comfort, and a peaceful place to rest her head.

Right now, Snowbell urgently needs a calm foster home where she can continue recovering safely. She still needs to avoid jumping and rough activity while she heals, but every day she gets a little stronger.

If you have a quiet home and room in your heart for a sweet girl who deserves a soft landing, please consider fostering Snowbell. Sometimes healing happens best with love, patience, and a couch to call her own.
