National Rescue Dog Day is May 20 🐾
Each day leading up to it, we’re highlighting one action that helps rescue dogs in need.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 💛

For dogs, it looks like outside time and socialization ☀️ (𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘴, 𝘪𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯) Even a few hours a week can make a HUGE difference.

We are completely overwhelmed (in the best way) by the love and support for Mr. Meatball. 💛

His story reached so many of you, and we’ve felt every message, every share, and every donation. Thank you for showing up for him the way you have—it truly means everything.

The best part? He’s doing SO well.
He’s using his legs more, walking better every day, gaining weight, and absolutely thriving in his foster home with me. Watching him bounce back like this has been incredible. 🐾

We’ve had a lot of interest in adopting him (we see you 👀), and we promise—we’ll make a post as soon as he’s ready and available.

For now, just know your support is changing his life. And we’re so grateful to have you all in his corner. ❤️

🚨💜 BTS HAS ARRIVED… but make it tiny, fuzzy, and slightly feral 💜🚨

Introducing our newest foster lineup:
✨ Jungkook
✨ J-Hope
✨ Jimin
✨ Suga

Named in honor of BTS kicking off their USA tour this weekend… and yes, I will be screaming crying throwing up seeing them Sunday 😅

These four came in looking like they had been on their own world tour of chaos—dirty, scraggly, and in desperate need of some TLC. But after just a few days of care, good food, and love…

✨ glow up COMPLETE ✨

Like… who gave them permission to become this cute this fast??

Jungkook is already acting like the main character.
J-Hope is living up to the name—pure sunshine.
Jimin is soft, sweet, and emotionally devastating (and also my BTS Bias 🙈)
Suga? Judging me. Constantly. As he should.

Honestly, they went from “debut era struggle” to “stadium tour visuals” in record time.

Scroll to see their before & after because the transformation is chef’s kiss 👌

I’m not okay writing this.

This is Mr. Meatball… and this is the part of rescue that absolutely breaks me.

Six months ago, I sent him off to what I thought was his forever home. I spent so much time with his adopters, explaining his condition, cerebellar hypoplasia, what it meant, what he would need, how special he was. They seemed perfect. I trusted them.

A month later… they gave him away.

Not back to us, like our contract clearly states, but to someone else. Because they were “having a baby.” Just like that, after a few short weeks, he was no longer their responsibility.

And then last week, we got the email.

The new owner didn’t want him anymore either. He was “ruining their floors” because sometimes he falls out of the litter box… you know… because he has CH.

So he came back.

And I was not prepared for what I saw.

He was soaking wet because she had “just given him a bath.” He was skin and bones.
At 5 months old, he weighed 4.9 lbs when adopted. Now at 11 months old, he was only 5.3 lbs.

Six months… and almost no growth.

You could feel every bone in his body.
He was congested, his third eyelids up, urine staining his fur.
His back legs are now atrophied. He doesn’t move the way he used to.

I rarely have animals returned. I have never had one come back like this. This wasn’t just “not a good fit.” This was neglect.

I am devastated.

But he’s home now.

In just 4 days back in our care, he’s already gained a full pound and he’s up to 6.3 lbs. We’ve gotten him to our vet, run bloodwork, updated everything, and started him on antibiotics.

He’s safe. He’s loved. And we’re going to fight for him again.

💔 If you want to help Mr. Meatball recover, please consider donating toward his medical care and specialized needs. Every dollar goes toward giving him the life he always deserved.

📍 Share his story so more people understand what these animals go through when they aren’t properly cared for

We’ll make it right for you, Mr. Meatball. I promise. 🐾

It’s the season 🐱✨

Weighing in at just 92-95 grams my 3 newest fosters. If you look closely, you might notice something special about one of them.

I am tired.
