🎉 Happy Birthday, Estrella! 🎉

Today we celebrate someone so special to us — Estrella! 💖 She’s not only a huge help with our breeding program, but also a true friend and part of our family. From the love and care she shows to the puppies, to the support she gives us day in and day out, we couldn’t imagine this journey without her. 🐾

Estrella, thank you for everything you do and for being you. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives. Wishing you the happiest birthday and a year filled with love, laughter, and blessings! 🌟✨

🏠🐕 Clear the Shelters Day — Let’s Help Find Forever Homes! 🐕🏠
August 16 is a national day dedicated to encouraging pet adoption by “clearing the shelters.” Many shelters offer waived or reduced adoption fees to help homeless pets find loving families.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this is a perfect time to visit your local shelter, meet some amazing dogs, and potentially change a life — yours and theirs!

Please share to spread the word and help more pets find their forever homes! 🐾❤️

🎉✨ Happy Birthday to Tinker Bell & Tom Tom! ✨🎉
August 8 is a double celebration for two of our absolute favorites — Tinker Bell and Tom Tom! 🐾💖💙

These two have brought endless joy, love, and a touch of sass (okay, maybe more than a touch!) into the world since the day they were born. Whether it’s Tinker Bell’s sparkle or Tom Tom’s charm, they’ve each left paw prints on our hearts in their own special way.

Wishing them a day full of snuggles, treats, and all the attention they deserve! 🎂🎈🐶

💼🐾 It’s Work Like a Dog Day! 🐾💼
While the phrase “work like a dog” usually means hard work, today we celebrate how much dogs actually work — from service dogs to herders, police K9s to therapy dogs, and all the loving jobs they do every day.

Take a moment to appreciate the incredible work dogs do to help and protect us — and maybe reward your hard-working furry friend with some extra playtime or treats! They definitely deserve it.

How does your dog work hard for your family or community? Share their story below! 🐕🦺💙

🎂🐕 Happy DOGust Universal Birthday! 🐕🎂
August 1 is celebrated as the “universal birthday” for shelter dogs everywhere — a day to honor the countless pups in shelters who don’t know their exact birthdates.

This day is a reminder to celebrate all shelter dogs, whether you adopted one or plan to soon, and to support efforts that help them find loving homes.

Celebrate by giving your shelter dog some extra love and treats, or consider donating or volunteering at your local shelter. Let’s make every dog’s birthday special! 🎉🐾

🐾❤️ Celebrate National Mutt Day! ❤️🐾
Today we honor the lovable, unique, and often overlooked mixed-breed dogs — our wonderful mutts! These dogs come with one-of-a-kind personalities, endless love, and stories that prove breed doesn’t define a dog’s heart or loyalty.

National Mutt Day encourages adoption of mixed breeds and reminds us that every dog deserves a forever home, no matter their background or pedigree. If you have a mutt, today is their day to shine!

Drop a photo or story about your mutt in the comments and spread the love for these amazing dogs! 🐕💕

📸🐶 Happy National Dog Photography Day! 🐶📸
Today we celebrate the art of capturing the incredible personalities, goofy faces, and heart-melting moments of our furry best friends. Dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family, and every picture tells a story of love, joy, and adventure.

Whether you’re a professional photographer or just snapping pics on your phone, take a moment today to celebrate your pup’s unique charm and share your favorite dog photos with us! Bonus points for silly faces and puppy eyes. 😍

What’s your favorite photo of your dog? Share it in the comments and let’s flood the feed with some pawsome memories! 🐾❤️
