Our sweet boy Axel is back at his foster home after a two week long "adventure vacation" - new friends to meet and snuggle, new couches to crash on and new yards to explore!

Now, back to that lingering question weighing on his smart, tender heart: "When is my forever family going to find me?"

Axel has been waiting a very, very long time for his person. Honestly? We are baffled as to why this hasn't happened yet, because Axel is the literal definition of a unicorn dog.

Why Axel is a Total Dream Come True:

💦He is completely potty trained and crate trained.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and kid-friendly!

💜 Once playtime is over, he is 100% ready to melt into your lap and be your shadow.

🌞 He absolutely loves laying out in the yard to sunbathe and spending his afternoons window watching like a little supervisor.

He's just such a fun guy to have around!

He has all the boxes checked — a whole lot of love to give and a desperate need to finally belong.

Where is Axel's family? Seriously, where are you?! He has packed his bags, kept his paws crossed, and is more than ready to spend the rest of his life making you feel like the luckiest person on earth.

📍 Ready to meet your new best friend?

Sunny and Moon spent $330 at the vet yesterday to get their final vetting behind them so they could find a forever home.

Spay/Neuter ✔
Final Vaccines ✔
Combo Test ✔
Microchip ✔

They were not happy about being starved - Especially Sunny, who screamed at me the entire morning and on the way to and from the vet. He's not as grumpy today.

Both are doing great today and feeling back to normal!

The heat is still climbing! ☀️ 🌡

If you’re planning a trip to the lake, river, or even just the local dog park to help your pup cool off, please make sure your dog is properly protected against Leptospirosis (Lepto). 💉

❓Why the Lepto Vaccine is So Important:

🏊 It's Found in the Water:
Lepto is a bacterial disease spread through the urine of infected wildlife (like raccoons, opossums, deer, and rodents). When it rains, that bacteria washes into standing water, puddles, lakes, and streams where your dog loves to swim or drink.

☠ It Can Be Fatal:
Leptospirosis directly attacks a dog's kidneys and liver. It can cause severe organ damage, kidney failure, and can be fatal if not caught and treated very early.

🦠 It Can Spread to YOU:
Lepto is zoonotic, meaning it can be passed from animals to humans. Protecting your dog with the vaccine also adds a layer of protection for you and your family.

🐕 Any Dog Can Get It:
It’s not just for hiking or hunting dogs anymore. Because wildlife travels through suburban backyards, neighborhood puddles and shared water bowls can also carry the bacteria.

🐾 Prevention is the best medicine!
The Lepto vaccine is a simple annual shot that gives your dog the defense they need to enjoy a splash-tastic Texas summer.

Talk to your vet to make sure your pup is up to date before you hit the water! 🌊🐕

Dynamic Duo Alert:
☀ Sunny & Moon 🌙 (Bonded Pair)

Meet the Pair:
📆 Age: Born April 2026
📈 Status: Spayed/Neutered (August 10th), Microchipped & Up-to-Date on Age-Appropriate Vaccines
🔍 Adoption Requirement: Must be adopted TOGETHER

🧐 About Sunny & Moon: Sunny (a classic, playful orange tabby boy) and Moon (a breathtaking medium-hair girl with a sharp calico face and soft, diluted-calico body) are inseparable siblings who bring light and love wherever they go!

💜 Rescued together when they were just 4 weeks old, they have been lovingly raised in a full house. Because of their early foster environment, they are exceptionally well-adjusted, confident, and social. They do fantastic with dogs, other cats, and children of all ages!

🥰 Personality: If you love loud purrs, you're in luck! Both Sunny and Moon have high-powered purr motors that start up the second you walk in the room. They are energetic, curious, and love playing tag or wrestling with toy mice, but once energy levels drop, they immediately transform into snuggle bugs.

🏠 House Habits: They are fully litter box trained, well-mannered, and eager to bring laughter and companionship to an amazing family.

Sunny and Moon are currently accepting adoption applications and will be ready to head to their forever home right after they heal from their surgery on August 10th!

Don't miss out on this perfect pair—submit an application today!

If you aren't looking to adopt but think this duo is absolutely adorable, please share and help them find their FOREVER! They're also accepting donations to help with the cost of their final vetting next week; spay/neuter, microchip and final vaccines!

Peach's girl Sommer found her person!!! 🤩

🎉 Happy Tails, Sommer! 🐾❤️

Another one of our Yellowstone pups has hit the jackpot and found her forever family! And it gets even better—her new family already includes a DogRRR alum! 🥹🐶 Luigi (formerly Dancer) is now Sommer’s new fur brother, and we know these two are going to have the best adventures together.

We couldn’t be happier for you, sweet Sommer, and your wonderful new family. Wishing you all a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever after! 💕

🐾❤️ **"I'LL ONLY BE A MINUTE" ISN'T WORTH THEIR LIFE.** ❤️🐾

It’s getting hotter in Texas, and we cannot stress this enough: **Never leave your dog in a parked car, not even for a minute.** (Still can't believe we have to say this....)

🛑 **THE FACTS:** 🛑

🚘 Cars act like a greenhouse.
On a warm sunny day, the inside of your car can heat up to over $100^\circ\text{F}$ in less than 10 minutes, even if you are parked in the shade! ☀️

🌡Cracking the windows does almost nothing.
It doesn't provide enough circulation to lower the temperature inside.

💦 Dogs can’t sweat.
They rely on panting to cool themselves. Once the air inside the car is the same temperature as their body (or higher), panting no longer works, and they go into rapidly fatal heatstroke. 🥵

We know you want to bring your best friend everywhere, but the safest and most loving thing you can do on hot days is to leave them cool and comfortable at home if they cannot go in with you on your errands!

What should you do if you see a dog locked in a hot car?
🆘 Write down the car's make, model, color, and license plate, and then call your local animal control and police IMMEDIATELY! 🚔 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

Let's work together to keep our Texas pups safe this summer!
Please share this post to raise awareness.
