💙🐾 Indy Was Almost Out of Time… Look at Him Now. 🐾💙

Indy was hours away from being euthanized at a high-kill shelter in New Mexico for one heartbreaking reason — he was terrified. He had completely shut down in the shelter, and underneath all that fear was a sweet boy who simply needed someone to give him a chance. ❤️‍🩹

Thankfully, Indy got that chance — and this angel boy has come SO far. 🥹

Today, when Indy sees his people, his entire body wags with happiness. He’s a Lab mix with that lovable, low-key Lab goofiness and still acts like a big puppy sometimes. He’s a pretty mellow guy who is just as happy hanging around the house as he is heading out for a walk.

🐾 Potty trained
🐾 Walks politely on a leash
🐾 Knows sit & is learning more tricks
🐾 Does great with other dogs
🐾 Mellow, goofy & incredibly sweet

Indy has had some negative experiences with crates and does not enjoy being crated, so he’d love a family who can work with him without relying on one. He’s trustworthy around the house to free roam without being destructive.

He’s still building his confidence and can initially be wary around adult men and small children, but once Indy realizes he’s safe, he warms up. What this boy needs most is a patient, loving family willing to continue showing him that the world doesn’t have to be scary. ❤️

Indy’s life may have started out rough, but he’s ready to take a chance on a family if someone will take a chance on him. 🏡🐾

🐾 FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED FOR FRITTER! 🐾

Unfortunately, through absolutely no fault of his own, Fritter is being returned and needs a new place to land. 💔

Fritter is an 8-month-old mixed herding breed who is still very much a puppy — a smart, energetic one with those classic herding instincts! 🐕💨

💙 About Fritter:
🐾 8 months old
🐾 Neutered, UTD on vaccines & microchipped
🐾 Gets along well with other dogs
🐾 Good with cats 🐱
🐾 Does well with older kids
🐾 Great on walks
🐾 LOVES car rides 🚗
🐾 High energy & ready for adventure!

Fritter would do best with someone who understands that structure, consistency and continued training will help him thrive. He has strong herding instincts and can occasionally try to herd by nipping at heels, so a home willing to keep working with him is important.

🏡 An active person/family or a home with a backyard where he can burn off that puppy energy would be ideal. Hiking, walks, adventures, training — Fritter is ready to be your sidekick!

He doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone willing to give him the structure, activity and commitment he deserves. ❤️

✨ FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED! ✨

If you can give Fritter a place to land, please apply here 🥰

💙UPDATE: FOSTER FOUND!💙
🚨🐾 EMERGENCY LIFE-SAVING FOSTER NEEDED FOR BRIGGS 🐾🚨

This sweet boy needs someone to step up for him ASAP. ❤️‍🩹

Briggs is a handsome 3-year-old, 78-pound Black Mouth Cur mix who is having an incredibly hard time in the shelter. He is very timid and unsure right now, and what he needs most is a patient person willing to give him a quiet place to decompress and learn that he is finally safe.

Briggs has been tested with both dogs and cats and has done well. 🐶🐱 He is still very timid and shy around them, so he’ll need patience, slow introductions, and time to become comfortable.

Briggs doesn’t need someone expecting an instant best friend. He needs someone willing to save his life first and earn his trust second. Give him a safe space, let him move at his own pace, and show him the kindness and security he desperately needs. 🥹

We urgently need a committed foster for Briggs. His future depends on finding someone willing to say yes. If you can’t foster, PLEASE share — we need as many eyes on this boy as possible. 🙏🐾

📩 Apply to foster Briggs ASAP:

🩵 Every Tail Matters — and right now, Briggs needs us more than ever.

🐾💙 Meet Buddy — Your New Best Friend (and Bed Hog)! 💙🐾

Buddy is a 2-year-old Pit mix with one big personality and an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is ridiculously friendly, loves attention, and is convinced that every reunion deserves a full celebration — even if he saw you three seconds ago. 😂❤️

Buddy loves other dogs, does well with cats, and is great with kids! Because his excitement sometimes comes with a little extra enthusiasm, he may be best with older kids who won’t accidentally get knocked over by his happy greetings.

When he’s not playing or soaking up all the attention he can get, Buddy is a total cuddle bug. 🥹 He’ll happily curl up with you at the end of the day… just don’t expect him to leave you much room in the bed. Apparently sharing is optional when you’re this cute. 😂

Buddy is looking for a family who wants a playful, affectionate, four-legged shadow who will make sure they never wonder whether they were missed. 🏡💕

Think Buddy could be your best buddy?

🐾💙 MEET WALLY WOBBLE — OUR PERFECTLY IMPERFECT LITTLE WONDER! 💙🐾

Wally may have a little wobble in his walk, but that certainly doesn’t slow down the amount of LOVE this boy has to give. 🥹

Wally is a 2-year-old mix who made his way to Utah after being rescued from a New Mexico shelter. Now he’s patiently waiting for the one thing he really wants…

A person to call his own. ❤️

And can we talk about that UNDERBITE?! 😭😂 Between his adorable little teeth and his signature wobble, Wally has a way of making everyone around him smile.

Wally’s back legs don’t work quite like other dogs’, so sometimes he needs a little boost getting onto the couch, bed or into the car. His front legs do most of the work, which means keeping his nails trimmed is extra important.

But Wally doesn’t know he’s different. 💙

🚗 He LOVES car rides
💦 He loves his water
🐶 Does well with dogs around his size
🛏️ Sleeps curled up in bed like the cutest little potato
🤗 LOVES being near his people
😴 Perfectly content snoozing while you hang out
❤️ Easygoing, affectionate & incredibly sweet

Because of his mobility, Wally does best with regular potty breaks every few hours or access to a doggy door. He can also be startled by sudden movements, so a calmer home without small children would be the best fit.

Wally isn’t looking for someone to feel sorry for him.

He’s looking for someone to LOVE him. 🥹

Someone who doesn’t mind giving him a little boost when he needs it. Someone who will take him along for car rides, let him curl up beside them at night and appreciate all the quirky little things that make Wally…Wally. 💙

He’s already been given his second chance.

Now he needs his forever. 🏡🐾

💰 Adoption fee: $300
Includes spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations & microchip.

📣 Please SHARE! Somewhere out there is Wally’s person—we just have to help them find him. ❤️

🥹💕 ROXY HAD HOURS LEFT. Now she has a whole lifetime ahead of her. 🐾

When Roxy was sitting in a New Mexico shelter, her time was almost up. She had literal HOURS before she was scheduled to be euthanized. 😞

Thankfully, Roxy made it out.

And after getting to know this girl, we can’t stop thinking about how close the world came to losing such an incredibly sweet soul. ❤️‍🩹

Roxy doesn’t just want to be your dog… she wants to be your very best friend.

She is the ultimate cuddlebug and professional little shadow. Wherever you are, Roxy has decided that’s exactly where she belongs too. 😂 She’ll follow you from room to room, curl up beside you and happily soak up every ounce of love you’re willing to give.

And those EYES. 🥹 Roxy is an amazing listener. She’ll sit in front of you, look straight into your eyes and listen like she understands every single word you’re saying. ❤️

👦 Great with kids! Her foster home includes two wonderfully chaotic boys, and Roxy handles all the noise, movement and kiddo craziness with patience and love.

🐶 Great with other dogs! She’s been living with her foster’s two female dogs and has done wonderfully with them.

Roxy is about 5yrs old
🤗 Cuddlebug extraordinaire
🐾 Loyal little shadow
💕 Gentle & affectionate
👀 Best listener around
🏡 Just wants to be included and loved
💉Spayed and UTD, microchip $300 adoption fee

Roxy came hours away from never getting the chance to experience this life. Now she has a foster home, people who love her, doggy friends and kids to hang out with.

But this was only supposed to be the beginning of her story.

Roxy still needs her forever. 🏡❤️

Somewhere out there is the person or family who gets to wake up every morning with this sweet girl following them around, staring into their eyes and reminding them that they have a best friend for life.

Please SHARE Roxy. She was given a second chance when she had only hours left—now let’s help her find the family she was saved for. 🥹🐾💕
