Meet Claire! At only 5 months old, she’s already spent much of her puppyhood healing from a fractured spine and slipped disc. Over the past several weeks in foster, she’s had lots of rest, carefully managed activity, physical therapy, and plenty of love along the way.

Despite spending so much of her puppyhood healing, Claire has already learned SO much! She’s crate-trained, mostly house-trained, working on her puppy skills and tricks, enjoys other dogs, and even did great meeting a cat.

She loves exploring, sniffing around the woods, puzzles, and enrichment. She’s also an expert cardboard-box shredder and is convinced plastic bottles are some of the greatest toys ever invented. 😂 After so much time on exercise restriction, she has LOTS of puppy enthusiasm and is ready to experience more of the world!

Claire is still healing and being followed by her veterinary team, with Baypath continuing to support her care.

Now all she needs is a foster-to-adopt family to help her write the next chapter.

Could that be you?

We’re in the final days of the Quirky Cat Club adoption event and just three kitties are still waiting for their families

Julietta is one of them! 🤍✨

After spending her life taking care of others, this former mama is finally ready for someone to take care of her. Julietta lovingly raised her kittens in foster before making the journey north to Baypath for her own chance at forever.

She’s a little nervous while adjusting to everything new, but she’s getting more and more comfortable each day.

Now, Julietta loves spending time and hanging out with people. All she needs is some time and patience to let her warm up. Underneath her initial shyness is a gentle, affectionate girl who just needs someone willing to give her a little time to feel safe.

Her kittens got their fresh start. Now we’re hoping these final days bring Julietta hers. 🥹

✨ Julietta’s adoption fee is WAIVED through August 31 as part of the Quirky Cat Club.

Come meet her during our open adoption hours tomorrow from 12–3 PM!

Just weeks ago, Ghost Pepper’s life was at risk. Now, he’s ready to begin an entirely new chapter 🫶

Formerly known as White Pepper, Ghost was scheduled to be euthanized for space at an overcrowded Texas shelter on July 31 at 11 AM. We were able to say yes to him just in time thanks to our partners at Operation Kindness, who coordinated his care until transport could be secured through Wings of Rescue.

Ghost arrived at Baypath this past weekend, and is now cleared for adoption and ready to find his family! He is making so many friends (both dog and human!) and winning us over with his amazing personality.

Ghost’s story reminds us why fostering and adopting truly save lives. Each time a dog moves into a foster or adoptive home, space opens for another dog in need and allows us to keep saying “yes” to animals who need us most.

His story could have ended that morning. Instead, his new life is only beginning. Could you be part of it?

Come meet these two potatoes today! We have open adoption hours from 11-3! 💜

08/25/2026

Mimi has already spent so much of her life being a mom. Now, we want her to finally know what it feels like to simply be someone’s beloved dog 🫶

Through it all, she’s had Bentley by her side. These two are bonded, and when Mimi feels unsure, she looks to him for reassurance that everything is okay.

They’re both spayed/neutered now. No more litters. No more uncertainty. We just want their next chapter to be the one they deserve—a quiet home, patient people, cozy beds, and the security of knowing they’ll never have to leave each other.

Mimi & Bentley are looking for an experienced, adult-only home willing to give them the time they need to feel safe.

They’ve spent enough time waiting. We hope someone sees these two and decides to give them their forever—together.

Come meet them and see their big smiles for yourself. We have open adoption hours tomorrow, Wednesday from 11-3!

**Can’t adopt? Please share to help them reach their family***

Romeo and Willow Update 💜

This bonded pair came to Baypath after spending most of their lives confined to crates. It took time to find a family able to welcome them both—but their amazing new dad saw their story on social media, reached out, and the rest is history!

Nearly one month later, Romeo and Willow are settling in wonderfully and experiencing the comforts of home, together. 🥹

Their story is why we strive to keep bonded pairs together. They rely on one another for comfort, confidence, and security—especially during times of change.

We currenlty have not one, but TWO bonded pairs waiting for their happy ending. Could that begin with you?

Looking for a mellow, low-energy guy who LOVES a good nap? Meet Sherman! 🥰

Sherman has been spending some time in foster, and he’s showing off just how wonderful he is in a home! 🥹

His foster family describes him as a gentle bean. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe and comfortable, he’s all love—and they’re seeing more of his goofy side every day!

This gentle guy truly checks all the boxes:

✔️Fully house-trained
✔️Good with other dogs, and has done well as a solo dog. 
✔️Does well left home alone with free rein of the house
✔️Loves belly rubs, pets & massages
✔️Enjoys walks & lounging outside

Sherman loves being close to his people, but he’s also perfectly content snoozing away while they’re gone—his foster family says they usually come home to find him curled up in bed. 🥹

Sherman does have an old knee injury, likely a previous CCL tear that has since healed. The good news? Surgery isn’t recommended at this time! His knee can be managed with joint supplements and, if needed, medication to keep him comfortable.

Sherman is ready to find a family of his own to play, nap, snuggle, and spend his days with.

Could Sherman be your perfect match? Apply to meet him today at baypathhumane.org/available-dogs
