🎄🐾 Gravy Is Ready to Be Your Holiday Sidekick 🐾🎄

Meet Gravy, our 5-7 year old Shar-Pei mix who believes life is best lived slowly, comfortably, and right by your side. 🤎

Gravy has been through a lot, but he holds no fear to love or be loved - he simply needs a little time and patience as he acclimates to new surroundings. Once he settles in, he shows just how wonderful of a companion he truly is.

He enjoys relaxed walks alongside his dog friends and absolutely shines as a cozy TV and couch buddy. Calm, low-key, and easy to love.

⭐️ Why Gravy Is Such a Catch:

• Dog friendly and enjoys easy strolls with pals
• House trained and well-mannered
• Doesn’t like crates or confined spaces - but doesn’t need one
• Loyal, gentle, and steady

This holiday season, Gravy is hoping for a calm home and a person willing to give him the time he needs to feel settled - because once he does, he’s an incredible dog.

🎁 If you’re ready for a companion who’s loyal, easygoing, and deeply rewarding, Gravy is your guy!

💔 FOSTER NEEDED FOR HALEY 💔

Haley found herself in the shelter through no fault of her own - and now she just needs a soft place to land.

Haley is a 1-year-old Boxer/Bully mix who is sweet, playful, and full of personality. She’s dog friendly, smart, and eager to please, with a happy energy that shines. Like many young dogs, she’s still working on her leash manners! She loves having chew toys to keep herself busy!

🐾 Haley’s highlights:
• Fully vetted
• Dog friendly
• Playful and affectionate
• Non-destructive
• Loves chew toys
• Needs a low-key home to decompress and settle

What Haley truly needs right now is a calm foster home - a place where she can decompress, feel safe, and learn a routine. She doesn’t need perfection, just patience and a little understanding while she resets from the shelter environment.

If you can open your home to Haley, even temporarily, you could make all the difference for this deserving girl.

📩 Please message us if you can foster Haley.

💔➡️❤️ A Story of Loss, Love, and Hope ❤️➡️🐾

2️⃣ weeks ago, our hearts broke when we found out about young, 4-5 week old precious puppies huddled beside their deceased mom 🥺 —confused, scared, and suddenly alone. It was a heartbreaking start to their lives, but thanks to the INCREDIBLE fosters who stepped up, our rescue was able to save this little family. ❤️‍🩹

😍 Today, we are SO happy to share that all 8️⃣ puppies are THRIVING 🌟

🩵Pugsley
🩷Wednesday
🩵Bandit
🩵Smokey
🩷Nova
🩵Cosmo
🩵Rocket
🩵Tiny Tim

Pups are all safe in loving foster homes, getting healthy, gaining strength, and learning all the best parts of puppyhood—soft beds, full bellies, gentle cuddles, playtime, and what it means to be loved. 🐶💕

These sweeties are currently available through our foster-to-adopt program while we finish their vetting. This is a wonderful opportunity to open your heart and home and help them take the next step toward forever.

As we head into a new year, let’s honor their mama by helping her babies find the FURever families they deserve. 🐾❤️

🤔 If you’ve been thinking about adopting a young pup-pup or know someone who might be ready ➡️ Send them our way!

👏 Thank you to everyone who stepped up, shared, donated, fostered, and believed in these puppies. Their future is bright because of you. ✨

🌹 Meet Rose – Ready to Bloom in a Home of Her Own 🌹

For the past year, Rose has known life in and out of the shelter. Through all the changes, she has held onto hope that her turn will come—and now, she’s patiently waiting for someone to give her that chance 🙏🏼

Rose is a truly kind and gentle soul and though she make look a little different , she doesn’t seem to mind. She’s incredibly sweet, would thrive in a home with other dogs, and loves having lots of toys to play with. She’s crate trained, potty trained (with a consistent routine) and would absolutely thrive with a fenced-in yard where she can run, play, and just be a dog. 🐶

While Rose can be a bit timid around men at first, once she realizes she’s safe, her walls come down and she becomes the ultimate love bug—full of affection, slobbery kisses, and cuddles. 🐾

Rose is currently looking for a new foster or a foster-to-adopt home while she finishes up her vetting. Offering her a safe, loving place to land would mean the world to her and could be the fresh start she’s been waiting so long for.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who will repay you with endless love, Rose is ready to bloom with you. 🌹

• About Rose •
♥️ Approx 1-2 year old Shep/ Lab mix
♥️ About 50-55 lbs
♥️ Crate / Potty Trained
♥️ Very dog friendly and would thrive in a home where other doggos can help her build confidence

Please share to help Rose find her people! 🫶🏼

🚨 SOS - FOSTER NEEDED ASAP 🚨
Meet Daisy 2.0 (now Haley)

Haley is a 1-year-old, 55 lb Boxer/Bully mix with the prettiest markings and the kind of soulful eyes that stop you in your tracks. Haley is very sweet, dog friendly, and knows her basic commands (sit, down, shake). She loves to play fetch (and actually brings it back!), enjoys a good game of tug, and loves chewing on bones.

🏡 The good stuff that matters:
• House trained - she will even go to the door to ask to be let out
• Dog friendly
• No cats or small dogs
• Fully vetted and ready for adoption

What Haley truly needs right now is a foster home ASAP - a place to decompress, feel safe, and finally enjoy being a dog. She’s done everything asked of her. She just needs someone to open their home.

If you can foster you could be the reason Haley gets the reset she desperately needs. A forever home would be amazing, but a foster saves her life right now.

🎄🐾 Handsome Bubba Is Ready for the Holidays! 🐾🎄

Meet Bubba, a 2–3 year old bully mix built like a tank but powered by pure love. 💛
This handsome guy has been patiently waiting for his forever family, and the holidays would be the perfect time for his story to change.

Bubba is the kind of dog who becomes your constant - loyal, loving, and always right by your side. He loves walks, enjoys yard time, and is perfectly content settling in for a cozy night on the couch with his people. 🛋️✨

⭐️ Why Bubba Is So Special:

• Dog-friendly with proper introductions
• House trained and well-mannered
• Doesn’t require a crate
• Loyal and bonded to his person
• One of our longest residents and so deserving of his turn

This holiday season, Bubba isn’t asking for much - just a warm home, a soft bed, and someone who sees how special he truly is.

🎁 Could you give Bubba the forever he’s been waiting for?

🐾 Foster Homes Needed – You Can Help Change a Life 🐾

‼️ Empowering Pawz is urgently looking for loving foster homes for dogs in need. Fostering truly saves lives by giving dogs a safe, calm place to land while they wait for their forever families. From tiny puppies just starting out to gentle adult dogs who deserve a second chance, we have many dogs counting on the kindness of our community 🙏🏼

When you foster with us, you’re never alone. Our rescue provides all necessary supplies, including food, crates, medical care, and ongoing support. All we ask is that you open your heart and home, offering love, patience, and a safe environment where a dog can thrive 💝

🥰 Fostering is incredibly rewarding. You get to watch a dog gain confidence, feel loved, and you enjoy the best parts of a doggo without the long-term commitment—all while knowing you played a direct role in saving a life. Even short-term fosters make a huge difference! 😍

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the perfect time. Your spare room, couch, or backyard could mean everything to a dog in need. 🏠 ❤️
