🎄🐾 Such an AMAZING adoption week! 🐾🎄
Because of YOU, so many dogs found their forever homes… and now we have just 5 sweet dogs left waiting. 💔➡️❤️
Can we get them into homes before Christmas? 🎁🏡
Let us introduce the last 5 hoping for a miracle:
🐶 Napoleon – 7 months old
Our longest resident, and we truly don’t understand why. Napoleon is an absolute gem—happy, fun, cuddly, and full of personality. He’s small (only 12 lbs and done growing!), neutered, and just wants a family to call his own. He has been waiting patiently… maybe too patiently. 💙
🐶 Cookie – 7-year-old Cavichon
Sweet, gentle Cookie is a calm, loving girl who would be perfect for a quieter home. She does have cataracts, but she can still see and get around just fine. Cookie has so much love to give and deserves a cozy couch, soft blankets, and a family who will cherish her golden years. 🐾✨
🐶 Shaggy – With us almost 4 months
Shaggy’s beautiful eyes tell his whole story—they truly match his sweet, soulful personality. He’s affectionate, smart, and loyal, and we know once someone meets him, they’ll fall hard. Shaggy is more than ready to go home. ❤️👀
🐶 Blitz – 14-week-old male, Shepherd mix
Blitz is everything you love about a puppy—playful, curious, and eager to learn. He’s at the perfect age to grow up with his forever family, learning routines, training, and what it means to be loved. Blitz is ready to make memories, starting with his first Christmas. Currently in foster, please call us to set up an appt.🎄🐕
🐶 Ember – 10-month-old female, Pomsky
Ember is stunning inside and out. She’s past the tiny puppy stage but still young, fun, and ready to bond deeply with her person. She’s gentle, loyal, and the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. Ember just wants a place where she belongs—forever. 🖤✨
💔 Five dogs. One Christmas. Five chances to change a life.
Plus we have lots of cats and kittens, most already spayed or neutered waiting for a home.
Please like, share, tag friends, and help us make this their last holiday waiting in rescue.
