While Egg met her perfect match, Charmor spent Saturday and Sunday scanning every face, hoping one of them was hers. Big events can be a lot for her, so we set up outside where she could greet people at her own pace. She was calm, charming, and so ready to be noticed. Her family didn’t find her this time, but she hasn’t stopped looking.

Charmor is available for adoption through SFC Virginia She is 10 months old and not expected to get much bigger than she is now, at less than 25 lbs. She has been great with all the dogs, cats, and kids in her foster home, but would be happy to have a chance to soak up one-on-one attention, too. Charmor is comfortable in a crate and making wonderful quick strides in housebreaking. Charmor is low maintenance and happily keeps herself busy chewing on a bone nearby but when you are ready, she is up for an adventure! Apply to meet Charmor at www.sfcva.org!

Help! Kitten wet food donations needed!

I just swung by rescue headquarters to grab some wet food because our supply at home is basically gone — and we don’t even have enough cans to make it through dinner. With 13 of our foster kittens out the 19 that we have depending on the Fancy Feast food, that’s a big problem. Kitten Season, man!

I placed a Walmart order for delivery today, but it’ll only hold us over for a short stretch. If you’re willing to send these babies some wet food, we would be SO grateful. I’ve bumped the Fancy Feast kitten wet food they’re used to up to the highest priority on our Amazon Wishlist.

Thank you for always stepping in when these tiny ones need you. The foster babies appreciate the help more than you know 💛🐾

Saturday was the day we’d been waiting for — the day that honestly I thought would’ve happened weeks ago — but as always, rescue reminds me that patience pays off. Egg found her perfect home.

She was adopted by a SFC Virginia alumni family who came to the event specifically to meet her (my favorite kind of message to get). I did the foster‑mom rundown — the quirks, the wins, the routines, the “here’s why she’s amazing” highlights — and then I handed over her leash so she could do what she does best: charm absolutely everyone in her orbit.

And charm them she did. Egg is now Daisy, and she has a big Husky sister who welcomed her with exactly the kind of energy you hope for. From the updates they’ve shared, the two of them have had a strong, happy start settling in together — playing, exploring, figuring each other out, and already looking like they’ve been a pair for longer than a weekend.

Watching Daisy walk off with her new family, confident and loved and exactly where she was meant to land, made every extra day of waiting worth it. Happy forever, sweet girl. You were such a good one to love.

This little itty bitty pittie (my best guess at her breed) is our newest foster addition.

How cute is she?! You guys, she is under 25 lbs and not likely to get much bigger 🥰

I actually knew of Charmor early on in her availability, but I didn’t meet her “in the flesh” until last Saturday at the adoption event. And let me tell you — Charmor had A LOT to say about how she felt about the day. She was making sure every single person within a five‑mile radius heard her opinions. She was frustrated, overstimulated, and absolutely over the whole situation.

To be fair, she had every reason to be. She had just been released from kennel cough quarantine, but without a foster lined up she was still living the kennel life at headquarters. That’s hard on any dog, but especially on a 10‑month‑old with energy to burn. Volunteers tried giving her breaks from the crate (and giving our ears a break), but she was so wound up that she struggled on leash and didn’t quite know how to interact with the other dogs. Even Egg wasn’t sure what to make of her. Unsurprisingly… she didn’t get any adoption interest that day.

So Monday afternoon, I picked her up.

I could see exactly what she needed: an outlet, structure, and a chance to breathe. She has so much potential and so much love to give, but individual time at HQ is limited, and she was desperate for more than the kennel could offer.

And let me tell you — Charmor has absolutely hit her stride here in such a short time.

She’s relaxing. She’s learning the ins and outs of being a family dog. She’s got a few rough edges (housebreaking is our main project), but she’s picking things up quickly. She’s been wonderful with all the dogs, cats, and kids. If she’s not romping with her dog buddies, she’s curled up on a bed chewing a bone, living up to her name in every way.

She just needed a chance. And now she’s blooming.

Stay tuned — this girl is going to make someone very, very lucky.

Yesterday was a day for one of my little bottle babies, Little Boy Blue. All week I’ve been hovering over his tiny sister because she was starting to look pretty rough… and I guess my little man decided he was feeling left out. When Ev and I got home from a play date, his right arm was astonishingly swollen — the kind of swollen that makes your stomach drop before your brain even catches up.

I suspected an abscess, but I’ve never dealt with one, and with a 2‑week‑old there’s no room for guessing. I sent a picture to Sabrina at saltypawsbrigade with a very “what now 🤷‍♀️” energy, and she immediately looped in The Celtic Cat Mobile Vet I’m so grateful they were able to take him so quickly so we could get answers instead of spiraling.

Blue had his abscess drained, got antibiotics, pain meds, and probiotics. He’s not out of the woods — honestly, no 2‑week‑old kitten ever is — but he’s got a whole team behind him making sure he has every chance possible.

Fragile babies, big fights, and a whole lot of people who refuse to let them fight alone.

AWWWOOOOOOO!!!

The hound babies are officially ready to find their forever families, and they’d like the world to know it with their best big‑voiced, long‑eared announcement.

Meet the floppy‑eared, wiggly, bottle‑raised crew:
Leroy Brown, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, Tawny Mushroom, and Inkwell Wigglebutt — four goofy, social, people‑loving hound pups who have been hand‑raised since they were tiny 2 week olds. Now at two months old, they’ve grown into the sweetest mix of silly, snuggly, curious, and outrageously charming.

These pups come with:
- Classic soft hound ears that drag through the water bowl and catch every breeze
- Goofy, joyful personalities that make every day brighter
- Excellent social skills, thanks to being raised around kids, cats, and other dogs
- Bottle‑baby confidence, meaning they adore humans and think laps are a birthright
- The best singing voices, bar none.

They’re officially available for adoption through saltypawsbrigade , and they’re ready to wiggle their way into the hearts of the families who will love them forever.
