Y’all!! Guess who will be HOME for the holidays??? Sweet Pea!! That’s who! We had a great event at StorageMax Saturday, and I promise we are trying to slow the world down long enough to post some pics. But as far as we’ve heard from our great volunteers on Saturday, little Sweet Pea is the only one of our babies who was chosen to join a family on Saturday. And today they picked her up! Even one is huge!!

Irby family, we cannot thank you all enough for choosing this precious little girl. She deserves the best that life has to offer her, and we feel pretty sure that she will know love that reaches far beyond any boundaries. Thank you seems so small.

Sweet Pea, home at last sweet little girl. Just wait until you meet your Beagle brother! Your life just did a 180, and you certainly deserve it. We love you always, little one! 🩷

We could use several pairs of helping hands this afternoon at 1:30. There are two truckloads (approx 20,000 lbs) of dog food being dropped off and we need assistance with unloading and putting it away.

Show up ready to work your muscles! Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist with this last minute request!

A little pup’kin pie was on the menu today thanks to all of the donations we received for our Thanksgiving dinner for the dogs.

Because none of us need more bills around the holidays, we are giving just a little taste of something extra delicious each day to help us avoid pancreatitis and upset tummies.

Pup’kin Pie Recipe -
1 tablespoon plain canned pumpkin (NOT the pie filling)
1 small spritz of whipped cream (NO artificial sweeteners)

It just occurred to me as we prepare to take these pics today, the real show will be the shenanigans that take place in this room in our efforts to make these pets smile! Guess I should be grateful that this part of today is not a spectator sport! Y’all come see us!!

Know who’s super excited about a big day out tomorrow?? These kids, that’s who!! They know they have the opportunity to strut their stuff, and trust me, we have been practicing just that!! They are all pumped about meeting new people and all secretly hoping to find their new families and places in the big world. These five and a last minute add on, which I will post in the comments below, will get to share their Christmas wishes with Santa tomorrow and we are hopeful that some of you will help in making those Christmas wishes come to reality. Join us tomorrow for a fun-filled day at StorageMax’s Dogwood location in Flowood, tomorrow from 11-2! Looking forward to seeing you there! ❤️

(PS, on the topic of great homes for dogs, remember we will be microchipping at this event from 10-2, lifetime microchip for $15!)

Sweet Pea, let’s go over this again. So, we’re gonna need you to use your entire 28 lbs on Saturday to show people just how wiggly and sweet and all the wonderful things you are. And those teef!! Gonna need you to flash those pearly whites like you do with us when you’re talking to humans. You see, little black dogs don’t always fare very well in the world of adoptable dogs. So you’re going to need to really shine! And the competition will be thick with your four shelter buddies who are going with you. So gear up, baby girl. Let’s show them what you’ve got at the big event at StorageMax’s Dogwood location this Saturday!! ♥️
