🔥ATTENTION PLEASE🔥

Please be extra careful tonight during fireworks. Do not take your dog to see how they behave. This is a recipe for disaster!! It doesn’t matter how long you’ve had your dog please ensure collars are on snuggly with AirTags are attached.
Having your dog in a bathroom with the fan on while you bathe can help them with the scary noises.
BE EXTRA VIGILANT PLEASE!!

⚠️ FIREWORKS WARNING – KEEP YOUR DOGS SAFE THIS WEEKEND ‼️

With firework celebrations happening this weekend, please remember how frightening this can be for our Pets. What’s fun for us can feel like the end of the world to them. Sudden loud bangs, flashing lights, and the unfamiliar smells in the air can cause panic and terror leading many dogs to bolt in fear.

Please don’t take any chances. Every year, countless dogs go missing because of fireworks. Some break through doors, escape gardens, or slip collars in sheer panic.

Here are some ways to keep your dog safe and calm:

🔺Keep them indoors well before fireworks start – even if they’re usually fine outside.
🔺Walk them early in the day to avoid being caught out during evening displays.
🔺Create a safe, quiet space where they can hide under a bed, in a crate with a blanket, or a familiar corner of the house.
🔺Close curtains and turn on the TV or radio to help mask the noise.
🔺Stay calm yourself your dog will look to you for reassurance. Speak gently and avoid fussing too much.
🔺Make sure collars and ID tags are secure, and microchip details are up to date in case the worst happens.
🔺Use calming aids if needed – plug-ins, sprays, jackets, or vet approved medication can help some dogs cope better.

If you know your dog is especially anxious, speak to your vet ahead of time for advice.

Please spread the word. Help keep our four legged family members safe this weekend. It only takes one loud bang to change everything.

❤️Bonded Pair Alert must be adopted together❤️

Jean & Eugene | Both 2 Years Old | Chihuahuas | 11 lbs Each | Spayed & Neutered, Vaccinated, Microchipped | Good with Dogs, and Kids

Meet Jean and Eugene, two inseparable besties with a story that will melt your heart. Jean and Eugene met on the streets of Texas, where they quickly became each other’s lifeline. Jean is the brave, sassy leader, while Eugene is her sweet, devoted protector. They faced unimaginable hardships together, sharing every scrap and keeping each other safe through the toughest of times.

Their bond grew even stronger when Jean discovered she was expecting puppies. Eugene stepped up, sharing whatever he could find to keep her nourished and protected. After being rescued, they were given the love and care they deserved—and their foster family even helped welcome their puppies into the world.

Now, these lovebirds are ready to start their next chapter together. Jean and Eugene are the definition of a bonded pair—they eat, play, and nap side by side. They love cuddles, belly rubs, and, most importantly, being with each other.

Our perfect adopters will give Jean and Eugene the lap of luxury so they never know another hungry day. Share your own love story with us on your application and tell us the adventures these little lovebirds can look forward to. We made a promise to them to take care of their babies and provide them with an amazing future together.

🌸 After a 450 km round trip, these two sweet girls have arrived 💛

Rescued from a puppy mill, they’ve spent their entire lives inside a barn never knowing freedom, love, or even the feeling of grass under their paws. When they arrived yesterday, they were unsure and timid, one more fearful than the other.

But once we got home and let them out into the backyard …..everything changed. 🐾

Their tails began to wag, their eyes softened, and the smallest smiles started to appear. For the first time in their lives, they were free to run, explore, and just be dogs❣️

These beautiful girls will be available for adoption in the coming weeks. We can’t wait to see them blossom even more.

Welcome to your new beginning, little ones.

🚨 FOSTERS & DONATIONS NEEDED 🚨

Backstreet Paws has been asked to take in two 6 year old female Cocker Spaniels who have spent their entire lives being used for breeding. They’ve known nothing but a barn, having babies, and surviving without love or comfort.

💔 These girls have never known a warm bed, a gentle touch, or what it feels like to be someone’s beloved pet.

💔 They deserve a chance to finally be dogs to feel the grass under their paws, a loving hand on their head, and a safe place to rest.

🥵 We want to get them out before the heatwave hits but we can’t do it without your help.

🙏 We’re urgently looking for foster homes to welcome them into safety.

🙏 Their vetting costs will run into the thousands, as it has with similar cases in the past, they need everything from spays to dental work and more.

✨ Please consider donating every single cent helps. Let’s show these girls that love exists beyond the barn door.

⭐️ FOSTER FOUND

Tallie | Male | 2 Years | 78 lbs | Great Pyrenees
Good with Dogs, Cats & Kids | Neutered | Vaccinated | Microchipped

Meet Tallie – a soulful guardian with a gentle heart and an old soul.

Tallie is a stunning 2-year-old Great Pyrenees who was heartbreakingly surrendered when his family moved overseas. Despite the sudden loss of everything he knew, this 78-pound sweetheart has remained calm, kind, and deeply loyal.

True to his breed, Tallie is steady, nurturing, and serene. He’s wonderful with other dogs, peacefully coexists with cats, and is incredibly gentle with children. His presence brings a peaceful energy to any home or property.

Tallie prefers the outdoors—lounging in the grass, soaking in a kiddie pool, or keeping a quiet watch over his space. While he enjoys the company of people, he isn’t clingy—he simply wants to be near, offering quiet companionship and unwavering loyalty.

Tallie would thrive in a home with a fenced yard, and ideally in a rural or farm setting where his guardian instincts can shine. Apartment life isn’t for him—he needs space, fresh air, and people who appreciate his quiet, steady nature.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will walk through life beside you with grace and devotion, Tallie might be your perfect match.

Meet Pedro — your new best friend and the leading man in the adventure of a lifetime.

At just 8 months old, this handsome Lab mix already has the charm and presence of a seasoned heart-stealer. Found wandering near a courthouse, greeting strangers like long-lost friends, Pedro clearly had a rough start—but his heart stayed wide open.

Now thriving in a loving foster home, Pedro is proving himself to be the full package. He’s playful, loyal, and affectionate—he gets along with dogs of all sizes, is respectful with cats (even the cranky ones!), and absolutely adores kids. He lives for belly rubs, welcomes cuddles, and brings joy wherever he goes.

Pedro has that perfect medium-high energy level that makes him an ideal match for active families who love walks, yard time, or weekend adventures. And when the fun winds down, he’s happy to settle in for snuggles and a good nap.

Pedro is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his forever family.

Lil Bit | Female | 4 Years | 31 lbs | Terrier/Dachshund Mix
Good with Dogs, Cats & Kids | Spayed | Vaccinated | Microchipped

Meet Lil Bit – a big heart wrapped up in a low-rider body and an even bigger personality!

Rescued as a stray near a workshop, Lil Bit has flourished into the most loyal, silly, and loving companion. At 4 years old and 31 pounds, this round little sweetheart is currently rocking her weight-loss journey with the help of a special diet and regular outdoor fun. Her rollie-pollie charm just adds to her one-of-a-kind appeal.

Lil Bit is a cuddle enthusiast. She thrives on connection and will happily trot alongside you, plop herself down for snuggles, or follow you with her goofy little run and tail wagging. She’s animated, expressive, and has an adorable bark she uses to “talk” when she’s excited.

She’s fantastic with other dogs, gentle with cats, and has even shown calm curiosity around chickens, pigs, cows, and horses. Whether helping out on the farm or just soaking up sunshine in the yard, she’s always happiest near her humans.

Lil Bit is crate trained, housebroken, and understands the rhythm of a calm, loving home. She does great in the car, handles bath time like a pro, and is just about as low-maintenance as they come.

If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts sweet, silly, and soulful—Lil Bit is your girl.
