⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Maggie has settled in wonderfully at her foster home in Vancouver!!

Approx 7 years old but looks and acts like she’s 2.

chihuahua mix with long legs, maybe some minpin in her!

10-11lbs.

She is looking for her forever home and will be an awesome companion!

She is full of energy and also sleeps well in her crate.

She’d be totally fine with a family that works during the day, she’s happy to chill and rest in her crate while you work. She’d also be happy to goto work with you or be around you all day too. She’s so easy!

Applications are on our website!!

🤎🐾 Roo 🐾🤎

Roo came to our rescue beginning of 2023.

She was a senior girl when she came to us, with not a single tooth in her mouth. She was probably 11 or 12.

Originally she was rescued from Arizona, where her owner had died in the home and wasn’t found for weeks, so Roo and other dogs were in the house without anyone caring for them but thankfully she did get rescued, and then came to us!

She was in foster care here for some months, and ultimately her awesome foster Shaley Boese decided she would just keep her as there wasn’t a lot of interest, and the bond was strong at this point. So we decided to take her off our website as available and she would stay in the rescue for the rest of her years, aka Shaley’s house 🥰

I’m sure many of you know Shaley has fostered MANY dogs for us and has volunteered SO many hours of her life to our rescue. I can’t tell you how many dogs have gone through her doors like my own, probably a few hundred 🤣☺️🥰 some for a few days and some for a few months, whatever the need is, Shaley and her daughter Danica always step up, especially for the seniors, like Roo and many others!

Sadly over the weekend, Shaley and her daughter Danica had to make a tough decision and ultimately Roo was put to sleep.

We are so thankful to Shaley and Danica for giving her a loving home for her last few years of life.

We had her at the vet a few times hoping she would come out of this but unfortunately her condition was too sudden and severe, plus given her age, the kindest thing we could do was let her sleep peacefully.

We kindly ask if you’re able to donate a small donation towards her latest vet care and euthanasia, it was just under $700 as we did bloodwork, and tried a few pain medications.

You can donate through E-Transfer or Paypal to [email protected]

You can donate through our website.

It would mean so much to us, for any help no matter how small or big, as we continue our efforts in helping these rescue dogs that have no care and nowhere else to go. ❤️

Thank you so much.

🐾🤎 R.I.P Roo - please say hi to Moka for us!! 🤎🐾

💛🌼🤎 Daisy & Ollie 🤎🌼💛

Daisy first was alerted to us while she was in Texas pregnant with one puppy.

She ended up having her puppy few days before she was suppose to fly to California to her foster home.

Ollie was born May 29th and so we kept them in Texas until July 9th, they’re now in their California foster home thanks to Kathie whos fostering and thanks to Pilots N Paws for flying them!

Next they will be heading to Washington and Canada.
(Daisy - Canada and Ollie - Washington)

Both are looking for a place to land (foster home ) when they arrive July 26th.

If there’s potential for a forever home for Daisy in Washington that is an option, otherwise we’d like to find her a foster in Canada when she arrives.

If you are interested in either Daisy or Ollie, applications are on our website.

If you’d like to help us with getting vaccines for them both we’d appreciate some donations for that as well.
(Or for their transport which also costs a fortune lol 😣)

Daisy is a chihuahua mix.
Approx 1-2 years old.

Shes quite social, she has had no problem adjusting to new homes/people even with her puppy!

We have another mom and son to post as well so that will be up shortly.

💙💚 MAGGIE 💚💙

This energetic, silly fun girl is looking for a foster or her forever home!

She’s apparently 7 but we think she’s more like 2 with her energy 🤣😊

We have recently spayed her and did a dental.
She’s currently in Abbotsford in a home with kids aged 7 and 9 and does great with them.

She is a little jumpy, so some effort with that could go a long way I’m sure. She jumps really high, pretty much into your arms if you let her.. 🤣 she’s a character alright!

She sleeps well in a crate at night although, I’m sure she’d love to sleep in your bed too if you let her.

She’s 10.5lbs.

She will probably need a little work on her housetraining going to a new home but she is great with the crate so I think cratetraining will work well.

Probably a chihuahua minpin mix since she has the color and long legs of a minpin. (A complete guess)

She does take a minute to get comfortable with new dogs but after a good introduction she gets along pretty well.

She’d be happy to be the only dog or paired with another dog or two after a good intro.

We rescued her when she was extremely skinny, we’ve nursed her back to health and fixed her up, she is ready to go!

🤎 Molly & Maggie 🤎

🧡 Location: Abbotsford 🧡

———

These girls had their spays and dentals done last week.

They’re now ready for forever homes.

Molly (white one) was at the shelter weighing 5.11lbs. She now weighs 8.15lbs and looks SO much healthier!!

Maggie (black and brown) weighed 9lbs at the shelter and now weighs 10.8lbs! Also looking much healthier!

They were found as strays together in California.

We are not expecting to keep them together, but if the perfect family comes along we can keep them together.

They’re pretty social with most strangers.

Molly is a little grumpy at times, she doesn’t want to share toys with other dogs and possibly not food either but her and Maggie do share food bowls just fine.

Maggie is a little dominant with new dogs but she warms up pretty quickly.

They would both be happy to be the only dog in the home or I think they could pair well with a submissive dog.

They both sleep great in a crate together, no separation anxiety from both of them.
(Have not tested them separately, I will have to do this to confirm they are fine when alone)

Molly is said to be 8 and Maggie is said to be 7.

They both have a lot of energy when they have the freedom to run around and play.

Maggie jumps up at you for attention, she can jump quite high so she will need some training with that.

They do goto the bathroom outside, but Molly will p*e on a puppy pad or towel/blanket that’s left on the floor. I assume it’s out of habit, she is crate trained so I would suggest keeping up with that so that there is minimal accidents, and remove any type of small carpet etc off the floor to minimize accidents.

They both act funny when you pick them up, they don’t know how to relax in your arms their legs kinda don’t know where to go. 🤣 it takes a few seconds but they eventually get comfortable. (I believe it’s just from them not being held while young but they love attention)

These girls are full of entertainment and love.

They are great with kids. (I have 7 and 9 year old daughters)

Looking forward to seeing where they end up!

Applications are on our website to adopt.

They can be adopted separately or together!

We just picked up Moka’s ashes and brought her home.

🤎🤎

She’s home.

🤎🤎

The flood tears came back reading the card. 😢

Just want to say again how thankful we are for all the support we had for Moka. So so grateful to everyone that rallied for this sweet girl.

We had so much hope that she would make it through and continue on with her happy life.

Thank you all for your shares, love, messages, support and donations.

We were able to cover most of her bill with your donations, and our vets gave us an amazing discount as well so we were only a few hundred short which was a huge relief.

We miss this angel and we will always cherish the time we had with her, and her foster families who miss her greatly as well.

Thank you all for lifting us up when we were in need.

🤎🤎🤎

We peacefully let Moka go tonight.

She is no longer in pain.

We’re going to miss her so much.

😭😭💔

05/23/2025

I wish I had a better update here but things aren’t looking good for Moka.

💔💔

She spent all day at the vets again and they said she didn’t have any improvements and now she has fluid building up in her body.

💔💔

They will assess her tomorrow morning when I drop her off, if she makes it to the morning, and we will go from there.

😢😢

She made it through the night!

Moka is back at the vets now as of an hour ago and I’ll pick her up again at 8pm tonight!

These next 2-3 days are so critical for her recovery. 🤞🏼
