Pup Love And More

12/04/2025

I’ve worked with both Italy and Riley, and the shelter’s words couldn’t be more true, they are absolute gems. Knowing they’re now on the euthanasia list is devastating.😭💔

But there is STILL hope.
A share, a foster, an adoption… one person can change everything for them.

Please help me get these beautiful girls seen. 💖

OH. MY. GOSH.
June actually came out on her own seeking love and attention!!! 🥹💖

I swear it took everything in me to stay calm and not burst into happy tears or accidentally scare her, because inside my head, I was absolutely screaming with excitement. This sweet girl has fought so hard to be brave, and tonight she took one of the biggest steps yet.

And please just ignore the clutter in the background 😅 My groom room has officially been transformed into a foster room for the last couple of months, so it’s a whole mix of supplies, blankets, toys, and chaos in there. Foster life at its finest! 😂🐾

Words can’t even express how unbelievably proud I am of her.

YES, June Bug!! Keep moving forward, brave girl we’ve got this!! 💪💗

PLEASE CONSIDER FOSTERING OR ADOPTING ITALY🥰🐾

Please… take a moment to read about this beautiful girl.

This is Italy, a dog I’ve personally spent time with on doggy day out, before I started fostering mommas and puppies these past few months. I can say with my whole heart: she is one of the sweetest, happiest souls I have ever met. She radiates pure love, joy, and excitement for life.

Italy is the kind of dog who just lights up the moment she sees you.
She wiggles her whole body, she smiles with her eyes, and she tries so hard to be everyone’s best friend. 🥺❤️

But right now… she’s sitting in a kennel waiting, hoping, losing a little bit of sparkle each day.
She needs out. She needs a family. She needs someone to choose her.
And she deserves that more than anything.

💛 Who Italy needs:
This girl is full of ENERGY, the fun, goofy, let’s-go-explore-the-world kind! Because of that, she would do best in a home without small kiddos, simply because her enthusiasm could accidentally knock them over.
But teens, young adults, active families, adventure buddies?
She would THRIVE. She would shine. She would make every day brighter.

I’ve seen her sweetest moments up close. I’ve watched her lean in for cuddles, melt into affection, and get so excited for car rides and new adventures. She’s not just a dog… she’s a best friend waiting to happen.

Please.... I am begging....share her, talk about her, tag friends, send her story to someone who needs a loyal companion. Italy deserves to finally have the life she’s been dreaming of. 🐾💛

✨ If you’ve ever considered adopting… please consider Italy.
If you can’t adopt, please SHARE.
Let’s get this perfect girl home. 🙏💔🐾

Look at that face. 😍

That is the face of a beautiful girl who is trying so hard to trust again. Every single day she’s making huge strides with me and Isaac, even though she’s still so terrified of the kids. This weekend she walked around the front yard with confidence, only darting behind me a few times when the kids came out to check on her.

She’s even willingly walking outside with Isaac, as long as I’m nearby. If I’m not around, she gives him the cold shoulder too. But that’s okay. Healing takes time, and she’s showing us in her own quiet ways that she wants to try.

And that face… that sweet, gentle, hopeful face says everything.
She’s not giving up, and I won’t either. We’re in this together for the long haul, sweet girl. I believe in you. 😍🐾💪

🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT MONZA NEEDS A MIRACLE TODAY 🚨
My heart is absolutely shattered right now.

Poor Monza was granted an extension because he had TWO life-saving meet & greets scheduled for today… we were all so hopeful he’d finally meet his hero.

But instead… both meet & greets stood him up.
Both.
He sat there waiting for people who never showed, people who told the shelter they were coming to SAVE HIM. 💔
How could anyone do that when his LIFE was literally depending on it?

Now Monza has until the end of TODAY to find a forever home or a foster. That’s it.
No more extensions. No more chances. This sweet boy’s life hangs by a thread.

I am BEGGING you,
If you have ever thought about fostering…
If you’ve ever said you wished you could help…
If you’ve ever considered opening your home to a dog in need…

PLEASE, PLEASE do it now. DO IT FOR MONZA.
He needs a safe place to land today. Not tomorrow. Not next week.
TODAY.

Fostering costs you nothing, the shelter provides everything.
You’re simply giving him a place to rest, decompress, and stay alive long enough for a real adoption or rescue.

Please… be the person he’s been waiting for.
Be the one who actually shows up.
Monza deserves that chance. 🖤🐾

This sweet girl has already been tagged by a rescue (YAY!! 🎉🥳) and has an amazing future waiting for her, she just needs a calm, loving home to decompress in until her transport on 12/12.

Right now Sabrina is still sitting in a kennel, and she deserves to spend these next couple of weeks feeling safe, comfortable, and loved. The shelter provides everything you need, food, supplies, support, all you have to give is a little space in your home and a whole lot of heart. 💕

📆 Foster Period: ASAP through 12/12
📍 Pick up & drop off: Baytown Animal Services

Sabrina is a gentle, beautiful girl who will truly blossom in a quiet home environment. Fostering her is short-term, but it will make a lifetime of difference for her. 🐾

If you can open your home to her, please reach out to the shelter at 281-422-7600 (option 8) or email [email protected] with “Foster to Transport” in the subject line.

Let’s get this girl out of the shelter and send her to her new life feeling safe, rested, and loved. ❤️🐶✨

So excited to share that I ordered a custom rug from MD Rugzz 🐾✨

We met at Main Street Trade Days in La Porte last month, and I instantly fell in love with her talent. The moment I saw her work, I knew I needed a custom rug of my logo for all my future vendor events.

I absolutely cannot wait to see this masterpiece come to life, I am beyond excited!! 😍🎉🧡
