💙 Happy Tails Update: Tiberius (formerly Sterling)! 💙

We recently received an update from Tiberius's family, and it sounds like this handsome boy is settling into forever home life perfectly!

"Tiberius is doing exceptionally well! He has been enjoying walks around the neighborhood and naps in the sunshine and on nice, soft blankets. He seems to catch onto things in about two seconds. He hasn’t had a single accident in the house and he has been sleeping great at night. He and Stevie are getting along really well, too! He is very gentlemanly and just the sweetest boy."

We couldn't be happier to hear how well Tiberius is adjusting. From neighborhood strolls and sunny naps to making fast friends with his big sister Stevie, it sounds like he's embracing every part of the good life he deserves.

His family tells us they are completely smitten—and honestly, we can't blame them! Tiberius has always been a special boy, and seeing him thriving in a loving home is exactly why we do what we do.

Thank you to his wonderful family for sharing this update and these adorable photos. We love seeing our alumni living their best lives! ❤️

Happy tails, Tiberius! We can't wait to hear more about your adventures.

🚗 "I don't know where we're going, but I packed absolutely nothing and I'm ready."
— Bismarck, approximately 0.2 seconds after hearing the word "car ride."

This handsome guy may have a few extra medical quirks, but he hasn't let that slow him down one bit. Bismarck is still searching for his foster home, forever family, or sponsors to help support his care while he waits.

☀️ Tinsel's forecast for the day:

Sunny skies.
Soft grass.
One very happy dog.

Tinsel is currently accepting applications for a full-time position as Professional Patio Lounger, Neighborhood Walk Supervisor, and Household Best Friend.

His summer bucket list is pretty simple: chase a few squirrels, take a few naps, and finally find the people he's been waiting for.

Based on that smile, we'd say he's more than qualified for the job. 🐾

🤔 Think Tinsel could be the missing piece of your family?

🐾 Have you ever seen such a puppy-faced old man before? 🐾

Cletus may be a seasoned gentleman, but he's still rocking that sweet puppy face that melts hearts wherever he goes. This laid-back guy is ready to trade shelter life for a cozy couch, sunny naps, and a best friend to share his golden years with.

Cletus is looking for a fellow easygoing soul who appreciates the simple things in life—good company, leisurely strolls, and plenty of relaxation. Whether you're interested in fostering or adopting, Cletus would love the chance to show you just how special he is.

📚🐾 Thank You, Bettie's Pages! 🐾📚

Spookey had an amazing time visiting Bettie's Pages this weekend! He loved exploring the shelves, soaking up all the attention, and making himself completely at home among the books.

One of the highlights of his day was meeting Oly and the store's resident feline, Paige. New friends and plenty of affection made for a perfect outing!

We're so grateful to Bettie's Pages for welcoming Spookey and helping us introduce him to so many kind book lovers throughout the day. Every pat, cuddle, and conversation helps adoptable dogs like Spookey gain visibility and get one step closer to finding their forever families.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and share some love with this sweet boy. ❤️

🐾 Two Months of Claire 🐾

Can you believe it has already been two months since Claire went home with her forever family? ❤️

We recently received this wonderful update, and it absolutely made our day:

"Two months with Claire have flown by. She is a sweet, happy, snuggly girl but also quite a stalwart guardian. How we hit the dog lottery twice with her and Dante, we don’t know. But it must have something to do with Mackenzie's formula and process for making the best match for dog and furever home. Thank you for helping us find each other!"

Hearing updates like this is one of the greatest gifts we can receive. Knowing that Claire has settled into a home where she is loved, cherished, and appreciated for exactly who she is reminds us why we do what we do.

Thank you to Claire's family for opening your hearts to her and for sharing this beautiful update. We couldn't be happier to see her thriving alongside her canine sibling, Dante. ❤️

Happy 2-month pupdate, Claire! We think you definitely hit the family lottery too. 🐶💕

🎉🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINUS! 🎂🎉

Today, Linus turns ONE year old! 🥳

Just one year ago, this sweet boy entered the world. Since then, he's overcome more than any puppy should ever have to face. Despite a rough start, Linus hasn't let his past define him. He's grown into a goofy, playful, affectionate young dog who greets each day with a wagging tail and a zest for life.

His birthday wish? A family of his very own. ❤️

Linus has spent the last year learning that people can be kind, bellies can be full, toys are fun, and life can be pretty wonderful. Now he's hoping to celebrate his next birthday snuggled up with a family who loves him as much as we do.

Can we help make his birthday wish come true? Share this post and help Linus find the forever home he's been waiting for. 🎁🐾🎈 Ready to make Linus's birthday wish come true? Learn more about the adoption process here: https://bit.ly/4eXGNci

Happy 1st Birthday, Linus! We think the best gift is still out there waiting for you. ❤️

✈️ Destination: Forever Home 🌴

Bora Bora has packed her bags, boarded her final flight, and arrived at the vacation destination she's been dreaming of all along—her forever home! ❤️ Now known as Luna, this sweet girl is settling in with her new family and beginning the best adventure of all.

We're so excited for Luna as she starts this next chapter filled with love, belly rubs, family time, and all the comforts of home. Thank you to her amazing adopters for giving her the happily-ever-after she deserves.

Have the best forever vacation, Luna! 🌺🐾
