Today, we're celebrating Magnolia!! 💕

This sweet girl recently celebrated her first ! 🎉

When her mom first came to our shelter, she had recently said goodbye to her heart dog but knew she was ready to open her heart and home to a new best friend.

Magnolia was a little shy when she first arrived home, but it didn't take long for her spunky personality to shine! Now, she's living her best life alongside her mom and two older Pittie mix brothers. She even gets to tag along to work with her mom and spread a little extra happiness everywhere she goes! 💕

Happy first Gotcha Day, Magnolia! Here's to many more years of love, adventures, and making memories with your wonderful family!
