For 65 years, Betty’s heart belonged to the bloodhounds ❤️ She welcomed so many into her life over those years, most of them being rescues…

Suzi turned out to be her swan song 💕

Betty sadly passed away a couple of months ago with the love of her family and Suzi by her side, and Suzi got to say goodbye ❤️ We were then contacted by her niece to hopefully help this sweet girl. With herself being in her 70’s, she wanted Suzi to go to a breed specific rescue so she could find a great home and the best future. And thanks to a wonderful foster we were able to help ❤️

Suzi is thought to be around 7 years old, but she may be a little older. She looks to be a Majestic, and weighs a hundred pounds (more give than take) and definitely needs to lose a few 🙂 She walks beautifully on the leash, and even though she had never been in a car before we transported her she rode very well. Suzi lived as an only dog with Betty, but she was good with her nieces small dog and loves to play with her foster’s miniature dachshund.

She was understandably confused when she joined her foster family and left the only home she’s ever known. She was grieving, so we gave her space and time and now she has really started to shine ☺️ One thing that has never changed is her super sweet nature and her fosters can’t say enough good things about her. She is a very special girl 💕

Suzi is being fostered in SC and will be available soon to find her new forever. When she’s ready, we’ll be looking for her perfect someone so please stay tuned ❤️🐾

Everyone, please meet Mr. Tickle! 🐾

This beautiful boy had been waiting for weeks in a full GA shelter, but thanks to a wonderful foster offer we were able to help! ❤️

Tickle joined his foster family in SC on Friday, and he’s settling in very well! He rides good in the car and loves going for nature walks 😊 He sleeps all night in his crate, is getting the hang of potty training and wants to be with you ❤️

Tickle is around 5 years old and is good with other dogs and ignored cats at the shelter. He is being fostered with AMMAR alumni Banks along with some other foster fursiblings ☺️ He’ll be ready to find his forever someone once he settles in more and we learn more about him so please stay tuned! 🐾

Fostering saves lives…Welcome to AMMAR sweet boy ❤️

Please read

I can't take him to the beach for a walk because it annoys you and disturbs the vacation... I have no right to rent a house if I have a dog, nor can I take him on public transportation.
However, I can take it to the rubble to find you after an earthquake, in the woods after you got lost in the mountains and had no map or gps; under the snow because you took a detour forbidden off the track; in the water because despite the red flag you have entered the sea, and your life is in danger!
And finally ...
He is just a dog, but he or she will find you. And it will save you!!!
Dedicated to all who DO NOT love dogs!

When you foster a dog, you give them the stability, care, and love that they need until they find their forever home. But in Sansa’s case it turns out she was home all along ☺️❤️

Because of Michelle & Kevin’s foster offer, we were able to commit to helping Sansa back in April. She joined them and their bloodhounds Boh & AMMAR alumni Daisy and her new journey began…

Sansa was extremely sweet, but afraid of many new things, like various objects and doorways. But with time and patience, she started to gain her confidence and flourished with them. Sadly, Daisy passed away over the summer, taking a big piece of their hearts with her 😞 But Sansa’s quirky and loving personality helped to heal their hearts and they just knew that she was meant to be with them forever ❤️

She will be staying in MD, enjoying her walks and trips to Starbucks for her pup cups, and of course napping on the sofa and stealing socks lol. So many dogs don’t ever get a second chance and never find their happy ending. But Sansa is one of the lucky ones who not only received the gift of a loving foster home, but that home also turned out to be her PERFECT happy ever after 💕

Sansa we know that you will have an amazing life…One full of new fun adventures, lots of snuggles, and SO much love. Welcome Home sweet girl!! 💕🐾💕
