🐾 Meet Duggan! 🐾
This sweet boy is around 10 years old and currently thriving in a loving foster home. 💙 But he needs a little extra help right now.
Duggan is due for a senior vet checkup, including a full panel and testing for some fatty lumps that have shown up. We’re hoping to raise $500 to cover the cost of his care and keep him on a healthy, happy path.

Every dollar brings us closer to making sure Duggan gets the medical attention he deserves. If you’re able to help or share, we are so grateful! 🙏

🌸 Meet Mirabelle! 🌸
This sweet girl is a total lovebug who’s ready to steal your heart. At just over a year old and ~50 lbs, Mirabelle is still young, eager to learn, and bursting with affection. She loves other dogs and would make a wonderful buddy for a current canine companion! 🐾

Meet Mila and David (pronounced Daveed)!
This beautiful brother-sister duo spent the early part of their lives outdoors. After a few weeks in a loving foster home, they’ve started to blossom—learning to trust, play, and enjoy the comforts of indoor life. Every day, they grow a little braver and more affectionate. With a bit of patience and a lot of love, these two are sure to thrive in their forever homes!

Mila and David are about 3 months old, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.

Because they’re still in foster care, please email [email protected] to learn more or to schedule a meet and greet!
