Baby, Love got her dinner bottle and a good neck rub to seal the deal. One week ago today she and her three siblings arrived with crusty eyes and Baby was particularly underweight. Now look at her. Thriving. Growing. Purring.

Weaning is right around the corner, and thank goodness you all stocked us up on wet food because I think these little ones are just about ready ❤️

Both are dog, cat, and kid friendly, do beautifully in their crates, seem to be housebroken, and bring the sweetest, happiest energy everywhere they go. They’re ready to settle in, bond up, and become someone’s new favorite family member.

Our third dynamic foster joining us at tomorrow’s adoption event is probably a familiar face… but this is the first time he’s getting his own spotlight instead of being introduced as part of a trio.

This sweet caramel face belongs to Porthos, one of the Three Musketeers I bottle‑fed from just one week old.

Two weeks ago, Porthos was actually adopted at an event. The family fell for him immediately, and I shared everything I knew about my good boy — including that his mom is an adorable little pittie mix still in rescue care. When the dad made a face, I gently asked if the breed mix was a concern. He said he just didn’t have experience with them. I was honest: he probably has some pittie in him, but we don’t know who dad is, and you’d be hard‑pressed to find a rescue pup without at least a little pittie in the mix. I encouraged them to meet the other 30 puppies there, which they did… and understandably, they came right back to Porthos. Because he’s fantastic.

But even after all that — even after bringing him home — my sweet, gentle, goofy 3‑month‑old bottle baby, who has virtually never lived without kids, cats, and dogs, became a victim of breed discrimination.

And I’m not sharing this to shame the family. Truly, if someone isn’t all‑in, I want them to bring the puppy back. What I can’t wrap my head around is how you can have this puppy in your home, do some “research,” and convince yourself to be afraid of him. Especially when we don’t even know his primary breed, which is why he’s listed as a mixed breed. You would have a hard time teaching this boy to harm anyone — he simply doesn’t have a mean or aggressive bone in his body.

So that’s the wild little story of why Porthos is back with us. We were hopeful he had an adopter lined up when he returned (they’re good friends with his brother’s family), but that didn’t pan out.

So here he is — Porthos the Gentle‑Hearted — still looking for his family. Whoever ends up with him is going to be incredibly lucky.

Come meet him tomorrow!:

We have three awesome fosters headed to tomorrow’s adoption event, and I just realized I’ve only formally introduced one of them. So let’s fix that, because this girl deserves her moment.

Meet Egg.

Yes… Egg. A strange name for such a cute dog, but honestly it fits her in the most endearing, quirky way. She’s an eclectic little mix — blue eyes, splashes of merle, a petite frame, and a look that’s entirely her own. You won’t find many dogs who look like Egg, so she might as well have a standout name too.

Egg came to us last Saturday after I said the words: “I have room for an easy one.”
She needed a little extra time to heal after her spay, and we were happy to give her a soft place to land. And let me tell you — she has delivered on the “easy.”

She walked in and fit seamlessly into the pack and our very busy household. At about 5.5 months old, she’s bouncy and playful, but once she gets her initial zoomies out she settles right in with the older pups for a nap. But, she is aleays ready for a good time! She loves playing with the dogs, has had impeccable crate manners (a rare gift with new fosters), and seems to be housebroken as long as she’s kept on a regular schedule. She’s also only around 25 lbs, which makes her a great fit for a wide range of homes.

Now that she’s officially adoption‑ready, I’m so excited for her. I know there’s someone out there who needs an Egg in their life — a sweet, easy, joyful little soul who makes everything feel lighter.

She’s a good 🥚.

Come meet her tomorrow!:

If you forced me to guess what this 6‑year‑old, small mystery mix is made of, I’d say:
Pekingese + Chihuahua + Goat.
And before you judge me, let me explain.

Reason 1: This little man LOVES to be on top of things. Random things. Illogical things. Things no dog has ever looked at and thought, “Yes, that’s where I belong.”

Reason 2: Have you seen those crooked little front teeth.

Reason 3: He is, without question, the G.O.A.T. (Greatest. Of. All. Time.) and the nickname has stuck so hard that half the house now calls him “Goat” without even thinking.

Dacke (aka Goat) has been with us a little over a week. And I know what you’re thinking:
“Paige… how did you keep this treasure from us for so long.”
Well. Because we were figuring him out.

For the first few days, I could not get him to come when called. Or look at me. Or acknowledge my existence in any meaningful way when saying his name. I’d yell across the room, “Dacke, get off the table,” and nothin'.

Was he protesting his new odd SFC name?
Was he leaning into the stubborn goat persona?
Was he… not the brightest crayon in the box?

Then it hit me:
It’s hard to respond to commands when you can’t hear them.

So after a series of extremely unscientific tests (picture me clapping behind him like a broken metronome. "Did he flinch?"), we’ve concluded he’s deaf or at least very hard of hearing. And honestly? It explains everything.

But here’s the wild part:
Dacke navigates life like a champ.
He went on multiple “Dog for a Day” outings with volunteers and no one noticed. He follows the pack, sometimes leads it, barks at cats with full confidence, and adores kids. He is happy, goofy, unbothered, and absolutely thriving.

He may be missing his hearing, but he is still a full‑package dog in every way that matters.

And he’s ready for his forever home.

🐐 Dacke is available for adoption through SFC Virginia: The Squishy Face Crew

Today brought four new little souls into my care, and they arrived in rough shape. This sweet boy in the photo is the most concerning, but he’s not alone — his brother has a crusted‑shut eye, and their tiny sister is barely half the size of her siblings. She’s so thin and frail that you can feel every bone. I don’t know where they were found, but the Animal Control Officer made a beeline for , and I was chosen as their foster momma.

I picked up kitten formula since I’m estimating them to be around 3 weeks old, but they’re right on the edge of weaning. With nine other kittens already in care who are devouring wet food like it’s their job, we are flying through supplies. I spent $50 on Sheba just a few days ago and we’re already halfway through it.

If anyone feels called to help, kitten wet food donations would make a huge difference right now. I’ve updated our Amazon Wishlist and moved the kitten food to the very top — if you sort by “highest to lowest needs,” it’ll pop right up. Your support keeps these fragile babies fed, warm, and fighting.

These four have already started antibiotics and multiple daily eye drops. I’m keeping my fingers crossed there’s a salvageable eye under all that gunk, but no matter what, they finally have a chance — and that chance exists because of you. ❤️

Thank you for loving these babies from afar. Kitten season has come in brutally this year, and knowing you’re out there rooting for them helps more than you know.

People are sleeping on this amazing girl, and I can't be silent. It is LUDICROUS that Sif has been looking for her forever family for two whole months. Two. Months. This sweetheart should’ve been scooped up on day one.

If her endearing little face looks familiar, it’s because it is. Sif was one of our fosters a year ago — part of Skadi’s legendary litter of eight. She grew up in our home, loved by us, loved by her mama, loved by her siblings. And then, heartbreakingly, her adoptive family returned her at the beginning of March.

Because I didn’t know she was coming back, I didn’t have an open spot to take her immediately. I’m so grateful to the foster families who stepped up for her when she needed them most. And last week, when she became available again, we were finally able to bring her back into our home. She walked in like she never left — easy, gentle, affectionate, and so happy to be part of a pack again.

Sif is a gorgeous 1‑year‑old mixed breed pup with the sweetest soul. She plays beautifully with every dog in our house — from the bouncy babies to the cranky seniors — and she adjusts her energy to match theirs. She’s calm and loving with kids, and she even does well with our dog-savvy cats. Truly the full package.

And let’s talk about her signature feature: the cutest little tail nub you’ve ever seen. It tries its absolute best to keep up with her excitement, but when it can’t, her whole body joins in. She wiggles like she’s made of pure joy.

Sif is easy. She is loving. She is ready. And she deserves a family who will adore her for the rest of her life.

Let’s get this girl the spotlight she deserves. Let’s get her home.

If you or someone you know is interested in meeting this AMAZING girl, Sif is available through Applications can be submitted at www.sfcva.org!

✨ Feel‑Good Friday ✨

A few weeks ago, little Shazrynn, aka Ghost, kicked off what turned into an incredible adoption streak for our crew. And just a few days later at our Petco adoption event, another milestone moment happened — Aramis became the very first of our recent group of six bottle‑baby puppies to find his forever family.

I’m honestly not sure his adopters walked into Petco planning to add a new family member that day. But the second they saw this seeet white puppy with his perfectly freckled ears, it was over. They were done for. And the best part? The entire family was there, and they all unanimously agreed that Aramis was meant to be theirs.

It felt like fate doing its thing.

Aramis is now Kash and he has slipped into his new pack like he was always meant to be there. I’ve already gotten so many sweet updates and adorable pictures — he’s thriving, loved, and living his best puppy life.

These are the moments that make the long nights, early mornings, and bottle‑feeding chaos worth every second. Happy Feel‑Good Friday from Cash and the whole foster crew. 💛🐾

One of the best parts of fostering a whole litter of kittens is the light‑hearted chaos they bring into the house. There’s something magical about the way they tumble, pounce, wrestle, and explore like every corner holds a new adventure. I could watch them for hours and never get bored — their tiny antics are the sweetest kind of entertainment and the happiest background noise to any day.

If you caught my Stories a couple weeks ago, you’ve already seen that face — the magnetic, cartoon‑character mug of Crash Bandicoot, our 5‑month‑old maybe‑Frenchie, maybe‑Pittie, definitely‑adorable mix through He arrived alongside his very handsome Frenchie dad, and from the moment I laid eyes on him, I thought: Oh yeah… this one’s gonna be an in‑and‑out foster.

I mean, look at him. It felt inevitable.

And I was right — a wonderful family is already excited to meet him. But soon after he arrived the dreaded soundtrack of rescue life hit.
First the cough.
Then the drippy nose.
Kennel cough. 😩

So Crash earned himself an extra week of R&R with us (and fingers crossed he doesn’t need longer). Honestly, we’re not mad about the bonus time. Getting to know him has been a joy.

Crash is a sweet, fun‑loving little guy who is constantly on the move — exploring, bouncing, wiggling, investigating, being generally delighted by life. And then, just as suddenly, he crashes (pun fully intended) into a deep, dramatic snooze like he’s been working a full‑time job.

He’s charming, he’s silly, he’s affectionate, and he’s going to make his future family very, very happy.

For now, he’s resting, healing, and soaking up the extra love. And honestly… he deserves his own moment in the spotlight. 🧡
