🏠💗 HOME SWEET HOME! 💗🏠

24 more dogs have found their forever homes! 🎉🐾

Twenty-four happy tails, twenty-four families, and countless reasons to celebrate! 🥹❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who adopted, fostered, volunteered, donated, shared our posts, and helped these pups get one step closer to home.

But the work doesn't stop here… there are still so many waiting for their turn! 🐶🏡

Let’s keep those happy endings coming! 💕🐾

Imagine having severe eyelashes trapped in your eyes 24/7. This is a painful condition called entropion, which means their eyelids roll inward, causing their eyelashes to constantly rub directly against the surface of their eyes.

Meet Soda, the absolute sweetest soul who just wants to look at you with all the love in the world—only right now, every single blink brings pain.

The good news? This is completely fixable! Corrective surgery will immediately remove the constant pain and save Soda's eyesight.

The challenge? We need to raise $1,000 to cover the cost of the surgery, anesthesia, and post-op pain medications.

We can't do this without our incredible community. Every single dollar brings Soda one step closer to a pain-free life.

• Great in the car and loves going for rides

Did someone say….CATS?!? Its a love hate relationship sometimes. Fortunately, we have some dogs who have shown positive behavior with the feline friends they have encountered so far. Why have one when you could have both? Cats and dogs can live happily ever after together after a proper introductions and the right type of dog. We can help! Send us an email or come to an adoption event and we can find a new friend for both you and your cat!

It’s back to school time! The dogs are ready. They are eager to learn new things, go on new Field trips, and meet new friends. Their first day of school boards have been created to document this exciting time. Will you be their new lifelong friend?
