🌈Remembering Gideon🌈

We first met Gideon in 2021 when he was found roaming the streets injured. His face was swollen and bleeding and he was skin and bones, he just wanted a safe place to rest. We brought him into our care and soon learned he was high heartworm positive. Heartworm treatment is notoriously hard on the body and his was an advanced case. He struggled and developed fevers and inflammation, but he rallied and fought through with the support of his people.

Gideon, who became Ollie, was thrown away over and over in his life but in his twilight years found his forever. His amazing people provided phenomenal care and love to him through a long battle with heart failure that resulted from his advanced heartworm disease. Thank you, Ollie’s family, for all you did for him.

Gideon/Ollie has crossed the bridge and we remember this big sweet boy who never let what life threw him bring him down.

I’m alive because a foster home said yes.

Meet Alfie. When he came to us, he was about 40% underweight, covered in wounds, and had a deep injury on his foot. He was in pain and vulnerable.

Today? Alfie is healing. He’s growing stronger, playing harder, and finally learning what it means to feel safe and loved. Rescue doesn’t end at the save, and a safe home to decompress and recover in is a vital step for many dogs.

Foster care saved his life. Dogs like Alfie don’t get a second chance without people willing to open their homes and hearts to give them a soft place to land.

We need more foster homes. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the time. Be the reason another puppy like Alfie gets to grow up. The rescue provides all food, supplies, and vet care, you just provide the love and the couch.

There is a need for fosters of all types and commitment levels since we have gone entirely foster based. A short term home gives us an opportunity to say yes in an emergency and make arrangements for their future. Want to join our foster team? Apply here https://www.thepitbullpen.com/foster-a-pet

Have you fallen in love with our little gargoyle spokesdog Alfie? Day by day he is healing and showing more of his spunky little personality and he and his fabulous ears would love to meet his forever family. He has an upcoming surgery to, among other things, repair his double cherry eye but you can show your interest in him by applying at the link above and mentioning Alfie. You can see his origin story here- https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18zWu5VZhh/?mibextid=wwXIfr

What’s better than one super cute border collie mix puppy? Two super cute border collie mix puppies! Flower (white markings) and Pepe (grey markings) are both females around 3 months old and parvo survivors. These sisters are currently fostered with other dogs and cats and learning to be good family members.

Flower likes to observe and absorb what is happening around her and you can watch her learning by the day. Soft and fluffy, she loves to cuddle and knows the value of a good nap. She is sweet and loving to everyone she meets.

Pepe is a bit spunkier and subscribes to the leap before you look life strategy. She is all play with anyone who will join in and is an endless source of fun and laughter. Her face is extremely expressive and her little skunk markings are so unique.

Flower and Pepe are each looking for a foster to adopt home until their adoptions are finalized after their spays are complete. They are at a perfect age to learn to be a part of your household. They have begun vaccinations and deworming and are microchipped. They are currently located in Tricities Washington. You can apply at https://www.thepitbullpen.com/foster-a-pet

ChicaRoo is still waiting to give all her love to her furever person! This sweet girl is currently in board and train at ModifiedK9 in Everett, WA, where she’s learning and growing every day.
Chica came to us very pregnant, and she was the most perfect momma. Now that her puppies have found their homes (except for sweet Chunk), it’s her turn to find a family that will cherish her forever. She’s smart, loving, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion.
Please consider opening your heart and home to ChicaRoo. If you can’t adopt, sharing her story helps more than you know!

Hip hip hooray!!!🍁 Maple’s 🍁 MRI is scheduled!
We’re thrilled to share that sweet Maple is headed to WSU for her MRI at the end of the month. This is a huge step toward getting the answers (and help) she needs but we’re not quite there yet.

Our little survivor Alfie has been with us for a week now and is improving by the day! His prior post is here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18zWu5VZhh/?mibextid=wwXIfr

His wounds are healing and he is steadily gaining weight and strength while he learns to play with toys and snuggle in soft beds. He is a lover of everything and everyone, trying to engage every dog, cat, and person in play or cuddles. We are so thankful he is alive and thriving. He has a follow up vet visit soon to check on his recovery and will be seeking his new home after that!

We will be continuing his medical care until he has fully recovered and can be neutered, but we would love for him to be in a foster to adopt home during that time. He is at a fantastic age to be introduced to his forever home and meet his people.

Alfie will be vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered before his adoption is final. He is currently located in Tricities Washington, and will need to stay in the area for his medical care. He is a 3 month old brindle bully mix and you can apply for him at https://www.thepitbullpen.com/foster-a-pet.
