Look at this beautiful girl! She received hundreds of thousands of views, but no interest. 😵‍💫😢 Can you be her hero?

Quick update on sweet Lily! 🐾
She left the vet today and is officially hanging out with her wonderful foster to adopt family (fingers crossed we get to make her adoption permanent 🤞). She's cute as a button and already completely made herself at home!
She does have a little upper respiratory bug from her time at the shelter, but she's already started on antibiotics and should soon be on the mend!

Meet Lily! 🐾
Yesterday, an unexpected turn of events brought this sweet girl into our care. Lily had just been adopted from Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS), but after only one day, her new family decided it wasn't the right fit because one of their cats didn't care for her. While it takes time for pets to adjust, the family chose not to move forward.

We don't know the family ourselves, but a compassionate community member stepped in, took Lily so she wouldn't have to go back to the shelter, and contacted us for help. Even though our rescue is completely full, we couldn’t bear the thought of letting her be sent back—so we stepped up!

• Where she is now: Lily is currently safe and sound at our vet temporarily.

• Next steps: We are actively reviewing an application for a temporary foster home for her right now.

• The plan: Lily is officially safe with our rescue! Once we get her settled into a foster home, we will be finding her the perfect permanent "happily ever after" family.
We’ve also updated IACS so they know she is safe and accounted for.

Please, no negative comments. We don't know the family, and what's done is done. Our focus now is 100% on Lily and getting her the beautiful future she deserves.

In January 2025, Drover was just hours away from a different fate. He had a scheduled euthanasia date, but we stepped in and chose to give him a chance. ❤️
When he first arrived, Drover faced some tough neurological hurdles. He would stumble, fall, run heavily on his front end, and always held his head at a tilt. After an MRI, CT scans, and a potential diagnosis of Horner’s syndrome, his scans looked great, but he kept fighting.
Fast forward to today: Drover still has that cute, signature little head tilt, but look at him go! 🏃‍♂️💨 This beautiful boy went from being too clumsy when walking/running to jumping walls like an absolute champion!
Let’s give Drover a massive holler, a million kisses, and all the luck in the world! 😘🎉
Update: We actually have some potential news—we may have found Drover’s forever home! 🏡✨ We are still waiting to get all the final details situated and making sure everything is 100% official, but our fingers are tightly crossed for this beautiful boy. 🤞❤️
Please share his story to keep sending him good vibes for his official happily ever after!

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." — Helen Keller (and also Luna) 😴🖤
Luna is a blind black Shepherd who is proof that love doesn't require sight. She is sweet as can be, always up for a good snuggle, and waiting for the right family to show her the world.

Looking at our sweet Peanut in his little Halloween outfit and my heart is just so full. 🎃 When we first rescued this tiny Chihuahua with cerebellar hypoplasia, we fell completely in love with his wobbly walk and crazy sweet personality. Even though his journey led him to a new adoptive family, we will always love him to pieces and consider him part of our hearts. He has the absolute best home in the world now, and seeing him so loved and adored is the greatest gift. Isn't he just the cutest?! 🐾❤️

I know this has been shared alot. However,
we just had to put this out there. Some days, the weight of rescue work feels almost impossible to carry.
You see the worst of what people are capable of—the cruelty, the neglect, the sheer indifference—and then you watch the system hand out a slap on the wrist like it didn't matter. It is sickening. It is exhausting. And it makes you want to scream when you are staring into the eyes of innocent, sweet dogs who just wanted to be loved.

Our handsome rescue boy Gibbs is living out his golden days right where he belongs, in the arms and home of his forever foster mom, who spoils him and loves him with all her heart. Walking might be a little harder these days for 14 year old boy, and his body is showing its miles, but his heart is completely full.
We’re taking every slow morning, every gentle snuggle, and every extra day as the precious gift they are. There is no greater peace than knowing a senior rescue dog is safe, cherished, and deeply loved for every single moment he has left. Angel N Tina Huerta
