Sally & Jack have had enough scary for one Halloween. 🖤🎃

I met these two sweet babies over the weekend after transporting dogs from an event. One little puppy was cowering in the corner, but when I knelt down, he came right over. That’s when I spotted the other baby shaking under the bed.

They were scared enough to hide, but still hopeful enough to wag.

I stayed longer than I was supposed to, and it crushed me that I couldn’t take them that day.

My week was already ridiculously full, so I did the only thing I could: I took pictures and video, then shared what I saw in hopes that someone could help them.

Almost immediately after they were posted to the Friends of Bradford County Animal Services page, I got a text from Jasmine, one of my rockstar regular fosters, and a brand-new foster—her colleague Jenny and one of our past adopters 🥹

They could take the puppies!

Transport was arranged, Bryan took a drive instead of lunch break, a vet visit squeezed in, and somehow the foster handoff crossed paths perfectly with Brooke Getter Stacey , who captured the sweetest photos of their first moments of freedom.

Funny how much you can fit into time you were absolutely certain you didn’t have.

These babies are safe, happy, and all wiggles now.

None of this happens because of one person.

It happens because someone fosters.
Someone says yes.
Someone drives.
Someone rearranges their day.
Someone takes the pictures.
Someone shares the post.

Sally & Jack are safe because a whole little village showed up for them. 🖤🎃

And I’d say that’s a pretty good way to start their story.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is your sign.

Fostering saves lives, and every rescue story starts with someone saying yes. Thank you to our fosters who say yes time and time again and to the new ones who open their homes and take a chance.

Somehow, our sweet little Rain is STILL looking for her family 🤍

So while we wait for the right person to find her, Rain would like to make her list of requirements very clear!

🐾 A confident doggy sibling — preferably one willing to play with , chase, bark at, wrestle, nibble, snuggle… and occasionally be sat on.

💦 Lots of toys + a kiddie pool. This girl loves to play and LOVES the water!

🌿 A backyard for potty breaks because Rain is officially HOUSE TRAINED 🙌

🤍 Adopters who understand that new things can still feel a little scary, but with patience, love, and a dog friend showing her the ropes, she will open up and show you how special she is!

⏰ And lastly someone with enough time in their schedule for all the fun, work, chaos, and cuddles that come with adopting a 4-month-old puppy!

basically Rain isn’t asking for much.

Just a dog best friend, her own pool, a yard, unlimited toys, patient humans, and all your free time 😂

Who’s got her dream home?!

Introducing Blue 💙

Blue had been sitting at our local shelter since February. It was brought to our attention by the volunteers there that she was out of time.

There was no behavior decline in Blue. She wasn’t suffering from excessive kennel stress. She was still on the adoption floor. She was a staff and volunteer favorite. There were open kennels. She was simply a great dog no one had come for — and she wasn’t going to have a chance if she didn’t leave soon.

This is a shelter that doesn’t use words like “urgent”, There are no official deadline pleas despite having one of the worst euthanasia rates in the state…one day the dog you love on is just no longer available….So we went to meet her.

The dog we met that day was the sweetest, happiest, most playful girl. She was social, incredibly affectionate, and so genuinely happy to be with us that the decision was easy.

Blue left the shelter with us that day

Blue’s ears and skin immediately raised some concerns, so our first stop was the vet. She had one of the worst infections in BOTH ears that I’ve seen in a long time, along with her irritated skin. Thankfully, we were able to get her seen and started on treatment that same day, and both have quickly resolved over the last week of care with Cassidy.

Since arriving, Blue has settled in beautifully! A little more about her:

• 3 years old
• 55 lbs
• Happy, playful + incredibly affectionate
• Social and loves being with her people
• House trained
• Crate trained
• Has done well meeting and interacting with other dogs

She’s had the chance to decompress, feel better, and thanks to a sponsorship from the Friends of organization, she’s receiving some training during her stay with Cassidy | Dog Trainer that will transfer with her into her forever home.

Welcome to Coastal, Blue 💙 Your time may have run out at the shelter, but your story was never supposed to end there.

We know there’s an amazing family out there who is going to be very lucky to call you theirs!

Send us a message to meet or share Blue to help find her forever home.

A shelter label told one story. Ricky got the chance to write another. 🤍

Ricky was suffering from kennel stress at our local shelter. He was pulled from the adoption floor, deemed rescue-only, and given very little time to make it out.

Then volunteers stepped up with a plea. A plan was made. We took the chance.

And Ricky turned out to be one of the best dogs we’ve ever had the privilege of rescuing.

Gentle, loving, and with a heart of absolute gold, Ricky just needed to leave the shelter and find a place where he could finally breathe. As a foster based rescue finding a place for them to go is usually the biggest hurdle. Fosters save lives and the truth is we don’t have enough of them.

Without Cassidy, the list of dogs I would have had to say no to is unimaginable. She provides a safe, nurturing landing place where these dogs can decompress and show us who they truly are.

Some come as fosters. Some come for board and train. And some come that may never leave. But they all come for the same reason . Together we weigh the possible outcomes and decide they deserved the chance.

And today, we’re so happy to say that Ricky is HOME! 🤍

He has a family who absolutely adores him, a doggy brother to share his life with, and daily walks at their favorite park.

And lucky me, that happens to be the same park I walk, which means I get to spot Ricky living his best life from afar.

From a distance, unfortunately, because my own dog isn’t always convinced that every dog should get to be her friend….They can’t all be Rickys 🤣

But getting to see him happy, loved, and exactly where he belongs is such a special reminder of why we put so much into what we do.

Sweet boy, you’ve joined so many others on the list of the best chances we’ve ever taken.

All too often, the dog you meet in a shelter isn’t the dog you’ll meet once they know they’re safe.

Happy life, Ricky Boy. You were always worth the chance. 🤍

I’ve met and interacted with them all and am Happy to help you find a match! Send us a message if you’re interested !

We’re so excited to Reintroduce Mira! She’s officially ready to trade training days for forever days!

Mira is Small-but-mighty- under 40 lbs. She’s athletic, engaged, and the kind of dog who would love having something fun to do with her person!

❤️ Mira craves affection and returns it with endless love and devotion

🐾 Professionally trained — Mira has a great foundation and is eager to work with you.

🎾 Fun, active & engaged — she loves walks, playing tug, training, and having your full attention.

⚡ Drive with an off switch — Mira loves having an outlet, but once the fun is over, she’s perfectly happy relaxing with you on a Sunday afternoon.

🏁 Sport dog alert! — she’s athletic, driven yet able to redirect. We think she would be SO much fun in Fast CAT!

🐕 Doing well with dogs — with slow, thoughtful introductions, Mira has been running and playing beautifully with other dogs. A lower-energy dog could be a good match for her in a home after a thoughtful introduction, although she would also be very happy being the center of attention.

Mira’s story is a reminder that the way a dog presents in the shelter under the most stressful moments of their lives doesn’t define who they are. Mira was ALL love to ALL people….yet A rushed decision over her being dog friendly would have cost her everything.

Mira would be such a fun dog for someone who wants a companion to get out, explore, train, and do things with—and then come home and settle in beside them.

She’s playful, affectionate, and full of personality—and she’s ready to bring all of that joy to the person who chooses her.

Miras ready to be be your perfect adventure buddy and couch companion!

If Mira sounds like your kind of girl, apply to meet!—or please share her so the right person has a chance to find her!

Rain is growing into one seriously special little girl. 🤍

At 3 months old, Rain is a happy, playful puppy with a big personality and an even bigger love for cuddles. If you’re looking for a puppy who can keep up with your dog and snuggle up with you afterward—Rain is your girl!

Sweet, smart, playful and just a little bit spicy—Rain is the perfect mix of fun and affection.

A little more about her:

🦴3 months old, Lab/Hound mix

🤍 Major cuddle bug — Rain is a very snuggly, affectionate baby who loves being close to her people.

🧠 Super smart & communicative — she catches on quickly and is great at letting you know what she needs.

✨ Full of personality — confident, expressive, curious and just sassy enough to keep you laughing.

🚽 Making big strides with potty training! She regularly makes it through the day accident-free, but she’s still a young puppy and will need consistency and supervision.

🏠 No accidents in her crate and she lets you know when she needs to go outside overnight.

🧸 She loves her toys — chewing, playing and a good game of tug are favorites.

🐶 She LOVES to play and run with other dogs! Another dog in the home will be required for adoption because Rain truly thrives with a canine companion.

So if your dog has been asking for a little sister, Rain would like a word. 🐾

Her adoption includes all puppy vaccines, microchip, an extra month of Hw/flea/tick prevention, spay at the age-appropriate time, and a free training lesson with Inked K9.

🥣 Rain is thriving on high-quality, freshly made, small-batch food from Pet Wants, thanks to the generous rescue discounts they provide! Even better, Rain’s adoption includes a lifetime discount on her food so her future family can keep her eating well and flourishing.

We’re looking for the right family ready for all the puppy fun, training, snuggles and adventures ahead. If that sounds like your home, apply to adopt Rain—and please share her to help us find her people!

And keep an eye out for an exciting update on her brother, Spirit, coming soon. 👀🐾
