These two sweet seniors have been together their entire lives, and after their owner passed away, they found themselves starting over here with us. 😭

Both pups do still need dentals, so they are currently available as foster-to-adopt while they wait for their appointments. More than anything, we would love for them to stay together.

Today we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. ❤️🤍💙

While we enjoy the long weekend, we’re also spending it caring for the animals still waiting for their forever homes. . . full bellies, clean beds, and plenty of love included! 🥰

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day. 🐾

Got Bowls?👀

We are in desperate need of bowls. Specifically, CERAMIC bowls. Why ceramic?

Because 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮, our animals are tiny WWE wrestlers, and plastic/metal bowls become chew toys, hockey pucks, or crime scenes within minutes. 😅

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀:
🥣 cracked
🥣 missing
🥣 somehow in another dimension
🥣 being sat in by a cat right now

We use ceramic bowls because they’re sturdier, easier to sanitize, and harder for our gremlins to flip over during their daily acts of chaos.

If you’ve got spare ceramic pet bowls lying around or would like to donate some, we (and the tiny freeloaders) would be forever grateful. 💖

Please help us keep food in bowls and not all over the kennel floors. The broom has seen enough. 🤣

Cloud came to us 9 months ago, after spending most of his life confined to a crate, afraid of the world he had barely gotten to experience. Sapphire arrived a few weeks ago, frightened, unsure, and timid in her new surroundings. 💔

Well, look no further! 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘆! A 2-year-old Doberman powered almost exclusively by zoomies, enthusiasm, and the undeniable belief that 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘮. (𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮, why aren't you throwing a ball for him? 🤨)

This handsome goober is playful, energetic, and always ready for action! Whether he’s chasing toys, bouncing around the yard, or leaning against you for pets and attention, Rusty lives life at full speed. 🏃💨

Rusty previously did well with other dogs, though he did come into rescue with a few… overly affectionate habits that are already improving now that the only balls he can't find are his own 🤪 (He was neutered yesterday).

If you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy with a big personality, a goofy streak, and endless love to give, Rusty may be your perfect match! 🧡
