Hi, I’m Lilith! 🐾

I haven’t always had it easy. When I first came into rescue, I was skinny and heartworm positive. But with love, care, and a little bit of time, I’ve grown strong and healthy — and now I’m ready to find my forever family!

I’m kind of a goofy girl, and my favorite thing in the whole world is PEOPLE. Big ones, little ones — it doesn’t matter. I just want to be near you, showing off my toys, or making you laugh as I play with my blankets. I have perfected the “belly up pup” display! Treat, people or toys? I pick people every time ♥️

I’ve been around some younger dogs and done okay, but I can get a little too excited sometimes. I’d probably do best as your one-and-only furry child (at least at first) so I can focus all my love and energy on my family.

Oh, and I’ve got some manners, too! I’m potty trained, spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated — all ready to go home.

If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, blanket-tossing, people-loving companion, I just might be your girl. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for? 💕

Love,
Lilith

💕 Meet Momma Chloe 💕

Chloe’s story is one of resilience, love, and second chances. Once a victim of abuse, her life changed when a kind stranger rescued her and brought her to safety. Just in time, too—Chloe was ready to give birth! She delivered 10 beautiful, healthy puppies under the loving care of her foster family. She proved herself to be a gentle, devoted mother and is now ready for her very own forever home.

🌟 About Chloe
• Kid-Approved: Chloe had a soft spot for children—she adored her foster’s grandson and lights up whenever kids are around.
• Doggy Nurturer: True to her maternal nature, she loves to “mother” and play with other dogs.
• House & Crate Trained: Chloe is wonderfully obedient, well-mannered in the house, and does great in her crate.
• Spa Day Ready: She’s a little champ when it comes to baths and nail trims.
• Adorable Personality: With her sweet, baby land-seal look and gentle eyes, Chloe is an absolute heart-stealer.

🐾 Health & Care

Chloe is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention—she’s all set to start her new chapter.

⸻

✨ Chloe has already shown the world her strength and capacity for love. Now it’s her turn to be on the receiving end of all the devotion she gave her puppies. She’s ready for her forever family—could it be you?

🐶 26 Puppies Later… and These 4 Cuties (Plus Momma Chloe) Are STILL Waiting! 💔

We started with over two dozen puppies — now just Moe, Larry, Gretchen, and Chesney are left… and we can’t understand why!

💙💙 Moe & Larry – goofy, loving, and full of personality. These boys are the BEST companions you could ask for.

💖💙Gretchen & Chesney – the last two from Momma Chloe’s litter of 10. Sweet, playful, and so ready to love their forever humans.

❤️🩷And let’s not forget Momma Chloe herself — she’s raised her pups like a champ and now it’s HER turn to be spoiled.

We know it’s harder to find homes as pups grow up, but these five still have so much love to give. Please help us get them into the homes they deserve! 🏡✨

📣 Share this post to spread the word and help them find their forever families!

We Don’t Like Asking… But Miss Lilith Needs Us

Today, sweet Miss Lilith began her heartworm injections—a tough road ahead. 💔 Heartworm treatment is expensive, painful, and drawn out… but it’s her only shot at a healthy, happy life.

We know most people don’t realize how serious heartworm is—or how easy it is to prevent. Just one monthly pill can protect your pup from what Lilith is now bravely facing.

We’re not big on asking for help, but if you feel moved to chip in toward her care, we—and Lilith—would be incredibly grateful. 💕 Even a small donation makes a big difference.

Let’s protect more dogs by spreading the word: Heartworm is preventable. Awareness saves lives. ❤️❤️❤️

Why are Larry and Moe still waiting? 💔

These two incredible boys are the last of their litter still searching for their forever homes. At just over 6 months old, it seems like they’ve suddenly become “too old” to be noticed… or is it because they’re black dogs, often unfairly overlooked?

But here’s the truth: Larry and Moe are absolute gems — full of love, personality, and goofball charm. They’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and love you with their whole hearts. 🐾💕

Don’t let them be the forgotten ones. Come meet the best boys you didn’t know you needed! 🖤🐶

🎆🐾 4th of July Pup Safety Tips 🐾🎆
Keep the Fireworks Fun – Not Frightening!

While we’re enjoying BBQs and fireworks, our furry friends might be feeling stressed or scared. Keep your pup safe and happy this Independence Day with these simple tips:

🔒 Secure the Space – Keep your dog indoors during fireworks. A quiet room with their favorite blanket and toys works best.

🆔 Tag It Up – Make sure your dog is microchipped and wearing a collar with up-to-date ID tags. Fireworks = more lost pets than any other day of the year.

🔊 Muffle the Booms – Play calming music, turn on the TV, or use a white noise machine to help mask the sound of fireworks.

🍗 BBQ Beware – Keep dogs away from grill scraps, alcohol, and party foods. Many are toxic (yes, even corn cobs!).

🚫 No Glow, No Go – Glow sticks, sparklers, and fireworks are a no-no for curious pups. Keep them out of reach.

💤 Walk Early, Relax Late – Exercise your dog before the festivities begin. A tired pup is a calmer pup.

Let freedom ring — safely — for all, including our four-legged family! 🇺🇸🐶💥

We hope all of you have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend 💙❤️
