PackFit is truly more than a business. It's a working message. And a movement.

06/01/2026

Yesterday, I picked Cowboy up.

And for the first time in a very long time, I felt hopeful.

Honestly... I really wasn't sure what to expect.

This dog has been through *so, so* much.

And because I was—for lack of a better term—ghosted, I had very little insight into how Cowboy was actually doing until the difficult decision was made that the placement was no longer working.

The reality is that the lifestyle simply wasn't a good fit for a dog as soft, sensitive, and introverted as Cowboy.

A constant stream of people. Multiple moving parts. Babies. Staff. Frequent activity. Busy, busy, busy. Little opportunity for him to truly settle.

For some dogs, that might be manageable. For Cowboy, it was overwhelming.

And - knowing this dog.... who feels everything far deeper than the average dog... after everything he's already been through, I worried about what I'd be met with when I saw him again.

Cowboy's endured far more than any dog should ever have to endure.

Multiple placements. Multiple transitions. Heartbreak. Great loss. Confusion. Broken promises. Misunderstanding.

And yet... the moment he saw me, none of that seemed to matter.

He was excited. I was excited.

And for a little while, it felt like we both got something we'd desperately needed: reconnection.

A familiar face. A sense of relief. Another notch on our belts.

As we spent time together yesterday, one thing became abundantly clear: despite everything Cowboy has been through, he still hasn't given up on people.

He still wants connection. He still wants belonging. He still wants to trust.

That says more about his character than anything else ever could.

I also learned that Cowboy suffered a pretty substantial injury while in his previous placement.

A large gash on his right thigh that, apparently, no one could explain.

The wound required veterinary care and stitches- which later tore open.

And despite the countless conversations and spoken commitment to maintain his raw diet, he arrived with kibble -- and diarrhea.

Back to the drawing board.

His body's keeping score. His nervous system's keeping score. And his gut needs support and rebuilding.

The good news is that yesterday marked the beginning of, yet, another new chapter.

Cowboy is now with Illya and Johanna Hardy at Topline K9 Services for a three-week board and train... thanks to all of you.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these two people.

Not only are they helping Cowboy, but they generously donated $500 toward his program because they believe in him.

And for that, I will be forever grateful.

Because of all of you, we're now just **$860 away** from reaching our fundraising goal.

https://gofund.me/c3b50933d

Miracle #1 was getting Cowboy into the program.

Now we focus on Miracle #2:

**Finding him the home he's been searching for all along.**

Not another revolving door. Not another "he doesn't fit our lifestyle" home. Not another "things got hard" home.

A "we'll-meet-you-where-you-are" home. A "we'll-learn-who-you-are" home. A "we're-in-this-together" home. A "we-see-you" and "you're-perfect-and-wanted-just-the-way-you-are" home. A "......you-belong-with-us-sorry-it-took-so-long-for-us-to-find-you" home.

A home where people take the time to understand him.

Where commitment means something.

Where he can finally, *finally* exhale. Lord, does he deserve this.

Thanks to everyone who's donated, shared, commented, encouraged, prayed, and cheered us on.

We're not done yet.

And for the first time in a while, it feels like we're moving in the right direction.

Seeing his happy face yesterday reminded me exactly why we're still fighting for him.

Because more than anything, Cowboy deserves to finally go home.

05/31/2026

Today is a very big day for Cowboy.

In a few hours, I'll be picking him up and taking him to his three-week board and train with Illya and Johanna Hardy at Topline K9 Services.

If there's a silver lining in any of this, it's the connection I've made with these two wonderful human beings. I am incredibly grateful to have them in our corner as we continue the quest to find both Ava and Cowboy their people, their homes, and the lives they've always deserved.

As I sit here reflecting on everything we've been through together, everything I've sacrificed to keep them safe, and everything we've overcome since finding Ava and her one-day-old babies under a heavy metal trash bin in the desert, I honestly don't know what to expect when I see Cowboy again.

He's been failed so many times.

So. Many. Times.

And for a deeply sensitive dog like Cowboy, those experiences leave a mark.

Every placement has shaped him.

Every home.

Every human.

Every lifestyle.

Every unmet need.

Every ounce of structure—or lack of it.

Every relationship.

Every loss.

Every disruption.

Every tragedy.

Including witnessing his sister being hit by a car and dying on impact, then spending the night alone and missing in a coyote-filled neighborhood before he was found the next day.

Including being sent to a rescue that ultimately became another source of trauma rather than safety.

Including being uprooted again and again before he ever had the chance to truly settle, belong, and feel safe and secure.

Dogs remember.

Their nervous systems remember.

And Cowboy has had more than his fair share to carry.

Dogs are constantly taking in information from the world around them. All of it influences how they feel in their own skin, how they feel about the world, and ultimately how they respond to it.

I've watched this happen with Cowboy over and over again.

I've known him since before his eyes opened.

Even as a puppy, he was different.

He was always the softest pup of the litter. The introvert. The wallflower.

He'd join the fun for a few moments, then step away and observe. While the other puppies were busy charging through life, Cowboy was just taking it all in. Feeling it. Processing it.

And that's still who he is today.

He's not a high-octane dog looking for constant activity. In fact, he's surprisingly low-key.

But when trust is there... when safety is there... when he feels understood... when people *meet him where he is* instead of measuring him against their own expectations of who he should be... he becomes the goofiest, sweetest, most endearing boy.

Full-body wiggle greetings. Silliness. Deep connection. And complete relaxation.

The problem is that his world keeps getting uprooted.

Time and again, he's had to adjust to new people, new homes, new expectations, and new realities.

For a dog like Cowboy, those disruptions matter.

One of the saddest patterns I've witnessed—not just with Cowboy, but with many dogs—is when people bring a new dog home, stop communicating, start winging it, and struggle in silence. Communication only happens once things have already become a crisis. By then, the dog has often been carrying the weight of preventable mistakes for months.

Cowboy has paid the price for that pattern more than once.

So, while he's receiving focused attention and support over the next three weeks, my job is to focus on what comes next:

Finding him a permanent place to land. Not a temporary fix. Not another revolving door. A home. With the right people.

People willing to learn him. People willing to meet him where he is. *People willing to move at his pace.* People who understand that trust isn't built in a weekend. People willing to be the tortoise, not the hare.

Cowboy will come with an incredible support system:

• Free training, coaching, and guidance from me — *for life*

• Three follow-up sessions with Topline K9 Servicesafter he graduates from his board and train

• Access to trusted boarding at Topline K9 Services with people who took the time to learn him and understand him, should life ever require it

• A whole team of support and people who've been following this family's journey since day one... fully invested in his success

Cowboy is....

- Neutered (after his reproductive system was fully developed.. this matters).

- Up to date on his vaccinations, and more than anything...

He needs people who are willing to help him feel safe in the world again.

He doesn't need perfection. He doesn't need someone to "fix" him-- he's not broken.

He's carrying the weight of everything he's been through and needs redefining. Permanence. Understanding. Patience.

**He needs people who won't give up on him.** Ever again. When life changes (and it will), and when things get hard.

Despite everything he's been through, I still believe those people are out there.

If you've followed Cowboy's story, please keep him in your thoughts today as he begins this next chapter.

And if you know someone who might be the **right fit** for a deeply sensitive, incredibly sweet soul who simply needs stability, patience, and a true sense of belonging, I'd really love to hear from you.

Getting him into this board and train was Miracle #1.

To every person who donated, shared, commented, encouraged, and helped make this possible, I bow to you with the deepest gratitude. We still need funds to cover the remainder of the program as well as his food during his three-week stay, but because of all of you, he has this opportunity.

Now we focus on Miracle #2.

Finding Cowboy the home he's been searching for all along.

Because more than anything, Cowboy deserves to finally go home.

Let's help bring Cowboy home once and for all.

(Link to his fundraiser in Comments)

05/30/2026

We started with a goal of $3,700 to cover Cowboy's three-week board and train, food, and transportation.

Since then, something incredible has happened.....

His previous adopters donated $1,500 toward his training.

The trainer donated an additional $500.

Another $250 was donated off-platform.

And as of today, $360 has been raised through GoFundMe.

That means we've gone from needing $3,700 to needing just **$1,090**.

Can we raise $1,090 in the next day and a half???

What I do know is that Cowboy SO deserves this.

For those who haven't followed his story, Cowboy is one of Ava's puppies. I've known him since before his eyes opened. I've been there through every chapter of his life.

Time and again, and with each placement, I've offered support, guidance, and involvement, only to be kept at arm's length until things reached a crisis point. By then, the preventable mistakes had already been made, Cowboy carried the consequences and impact of each, and the challenges everyone was trying to solve had become even harder for him to navigate.

Through it all, Cowboy has been the one paying the price for human decisions, broken commitments, and a lack of follow-through.

I'm beyond over watching that happen.

We will NOT fail this dog again.

He deserves so much better.

This isn't an "I know better than everyone" post.

It's an "I've known these dogs their entire lives" post and an "I've spent 20 years professionally helping people and dogs navigate complex behavioral challenges" post.

It's an "I've watched totally preventable mistakes happen over and over again" post.

There is no room for ego in rescue.

The goal isn't being right... the goal is helping this dog.

And this isn't an "I've been right all along!" post.

This is a "this dog keeps paying the price for human ego, lack of commitment, lack of follow-through, and an unwillingness to learn who he is and what he needs" post.

The ONLY goal here is helping this dog overcome the impact trauma and human failure have had on him. And finding the people who will NOT add to or perpetuate this any further.

Cowboy is set to enter his board and train **tomorrow.**

He will receive three weeks of focused work, structure, clarity, and stability.

More importantly, it gives someone else the opportunity to really get to know him and help create a path forward for him.

He currently has an adoption offer from a family in Missouri willing to open their home to him. I'm incredibly grateful for that. At the same time, I'd really love to find the right local placement if possible, where I can remain actively involved as a resource and where Cowboy can continue benefiting from the follow-up sessions already included with his board and train.

This dog has been through enough.

He doesn't need another temporary solution.

He needs permanence.

He needs acceptance.

He needs belonging.

He needs people who are willing to learn.

People who take their commitments seriously.

People who understand that relationships are built, not magically created.

People who don't give up when things get hard.

And he still needs our help finding them and getting there.

If you've been following his journey, sharing this fundraiser - or even donating a dollar- would mean the world.

We're down to the final **$1,090** needed to get him through this next critical step.

We have 3,500 followers.

If even a fraction of those people donated a dollar or two, we'd reach our goal.

I know we've asked a lot over the last year.

I know many of you have already given, shared, supported, encouraged, and stood beside us through Ava's journey and everything that came with it.

But these dogs have been worth it.

Cowboy is worth it.

And if we can get him through this next chapter, I truly believe his best days are still ahead of him.

Let's get him there.

In December 2024, my fiancé and I took in a dog who had been ab… Kimberly Artley needs your support for Help Cowboy Find the Stability He's Been Searching For

05/26/2026

Over the last year, I’ve received a tremendous amount of backlash, criticism, mischaracterizations, bullying, slander, hateful comments, and judgment for not publicly sharing every detail about the rescues involved in Ava and the puppies’ story.

People have *no* idea how layered, complicated, emotionally heavy, and ethically nuanced this entire situation actually has been and was.

Do I believe in honesty and transparency? Absolutely.

But I also believe in wisdom, discernment, context, and understanding that real life isn't black and white.

While there were absolutely devastating failures and painful realities involved, there were also people within this story who helped in meaningful ways, too.

One of the rescues involved sponsored something I should’ve been able to do myself, but am no longer in a position to. A 3 week board and train for Ava. I don’t own my own home anymore as I did in DC. It’s not just me living with the dogs alone anymore as I did in DC. We don’t have the licenses required and I’m not operating as I once did when I was in DC. Ava needed focused attention and an opportunity to experience and decompress after the fraudulent rescue experience — something she genuinely needed and benefited from. That same experience also connected me with trainers here locally who I’m deeply grateful to know now and call friends. Ava has two more people in her life who truly understand her, love her, see her for who she is, and are cheering and pulling for her. So while they made a critical, preventable, and fatal error with Winnie, I'll always be thankful for that.

Life is complicated like that sometimes.

This entire rescue effort started because I saw a pregnant mother dog dumped in the desert who later gave birth to her puppies beneath a trash bin. Four puppies didn’t survive. Five did — though when Cowboy arrived to me, he was hanging on by a thread.

Rescues were (and still are) overflowing. Shelters were (and still are) drowning. And I couldn’t stomach the thought of them becoming another California shelter statistic.

We didn’t have the space ourselves — but we had a garage.

So we converted it into a whelping suite.

From there, it became a sun-up-to-sundown operation. Literally. Not figuratively.

We raised those puppies alongside Ava with everything we had.

We followed Dr. Jean Dodds’ vaccination protocol.
We weaned them onto a clean, biologically appropriate diet and really focused on building immune and gut health.
We built an early socialization obstacle course in the backyard.
We worked on handling, confidence-building, exposure, crate training, potty training, structure, and stability from the very beginning.

I was there for all of it.

The moment their eyes opened and they discovered sight.
The moment their ears opened and they discovered sound.
The moment they found their feet and mobility… and from there, it was off to the races.

We burned out our washer and dryer from endless daily laundry loads before they were potty trained. We spent thousands of dollars of our own money on top of what was donated and raised.

And I truly believed that, with the dog community around me, we’d find these dogs incredible homes quickly.

For some, we did.

For others… you saw how that story unfolded.

I documented and shared much of our journey through writing, videos, and photos because I wanted to teach and also connect with those who'd be willing to take the baton and carry it forward with them.

Instead, what we experienced exposed every gap, blind spot, dysfunction, manipulation, emotional reaction, performative rescue culture issue, and systemic failure imaginable. Yes, even with the bleeding heart, compassionate, animal-loving-want-to-do-a-good-thing people.

And through all of it, I’ve been criticized relentlessly.

Not by the people who were there day in and day out doing the work. But from those watching fragments of an impossibly complex story unfold online from the outside.

Along the way, I’ve been ghosted, dismissed, misunderstood, told over and over I needed to “just let go,” and even called crazy for caring as deeply and intensely as I did about these dogs and the outcomes of their lives.

But when you’ve lived something this closely — when you’ve poured this much of yourself into trying to protect, raise, advocate for, and fight for living beings — you don’t simply detach and move on like nothing happened.

Especially when preventable suffering and loss were involved.

The grief surrounding how all of this evolved has been immense.

And so has the anger.

Because this experience really traumatized me, too. I've easily aged 20 years in the last year alone.

And despite everything, Ava continues to amaze me. She's resilient as hell. Seriously one of the most impressive dogs I’ve ever known. Her presence — and the presence of her puppies — exposed and revealed so much about rescue, people, systems, behavior, trauma, attachment, projection, urgency, ego, and humanity itself.

I still don’t fully understand why things had to unfold the way they did.

Maybe one day I will.

But I do know this: This experience fundamentally changed me.

And it’s part of why I’ve spent so much time building something designed to help prevent situations like this from happening again.

The "You Had Me At Woof" app is here, and the logo bears Winnie’s likeness. It’s me taking an immense amount of pain, anger, and grief and turning it into purpose. Doing my part to help course correct, because we are failing dogs in every way. Hell… we’re failing the planet, wildlife, and each other in every way.

The book about our journey, "The Long Way Home", is still being written. This rescue journey.... everything that's happened--- you honestly couldn't write this stuff!!

When Ava and her puppies unexpectedly came into my life, I was already about three and a half years into writing "The Human End of the Leash: Dog Training’s Missing Link.” Ava became my steady, steadfast muse as I picked the manuscript back up and finally finished the book. I ended up adding an entire Bonus Chapter called "Responsible Rescue.”

If you genuinely want to understand this journey… if you actually want to see the truth instead of assumptions, gossip, fragments, or reactive commentary — the entire year and a half of this has been chronicled publicly here on this page through writing, videos, photos, updates, heartbreak, milestones, setbacks, lessons, and real-time lived experience.

It’s all there.

Not a curated highlight reel. Not selective storytelling. Not performative rescue content. The real story. The good. The beautiful. The devastating. The complicated. The exhausting. The meaningful. And the parts that changed me forever.

This time last year, those puppies were five months old. Already crate trained. Potty trained. Learning obedience. Beginning to explore the world beyond the house.

Back then, I still thought love, good intentions, education, structure, and community would be enough.

I went into this trying to save these dogs. I came out of it understanding just how broken the systems surrounding them really are.

Cowboy is in need of a new home.

His people care about him immensely. This is not for lack of care.

But their lifestyle simply is not the right fit for who Cowboy is.

He’s currently living in a very busy household with twin babies, another dog, a nanny, babysitter, assistants, constant movement, and a great deal of activity and stimulation. And for a soft, deeply sensitive dog like Cowboy, it’s simply too much.

My heart is breaking as I write this.

Truthfully, I was hesitant from the beginning. When I first read the application, my immediate response was, “No.” But I was encouraged to have a conversation, so I did. I was assured there was structure. Order. Nearly five acres of fully fenced property. And I thought… maybe this could work.

It didn’t.

So now, once again, we continue the search for where Cowboy truly belongs.

And with each experience, Cowboy is going deeper.

Trauma rewires. Experiences shape associations. Nervous systems adapt for survival.

Cowboy has been living in survival mode longer than any pup should.

He’s an incredibly soft, highly sensitive dog. He needs calm. Stability. Predictability. Honestly… he needs ABSOLUTELY BORING right now.

He needs someone willing to help him redefine the associations he’s developed.

Someone willing to help him feel safe again.

Safe in life.

Safe in his own skin.

Safe in the world.

Right now, he is craving someone — something — to latch onto.
And he needs someone willing to latch on right back.

He comes with free training, coaching, and guidance for the rest of his life, just like all of the other pups. That support and partnership has always been there because I never intended for anyone to navigate these dogs or helping them adjust and acclimate alone. And right now, Cowboy truly needs that kind of support system around him.

🐾 Cowboy is 1.5 years old.

🐾 He was neutered at an appropriate age after his reproductive system had fully developed (you better believe this matters).

🐾He's fully vaccinated following Dr. Jean Dodds’ vaccination protocol.

🐾 He's crate trained, house trained, knows basic obedience, LOVES nosework, and is the king of awkward and ridiculous sleeping positions.

🐾 Has a killer, natural mohawk... the kind that would make Mr. T jealous.

🐾 He comes with FREE training, coaching, and guidance **for the rest of his life.**
..and, right now, he truly needs that support system around him.

Cowboy is so desperate to connect with someone. Someone willing to help him experience the world — and life itself — in a different way.

Because he's been living in survival mode for far too long.

This soft, sensitive boy needs:

• Calm, low-chaos living
• Predictability and routine
• Minimal people coming and going
• No young children
• Structure without harshness
• Daily fulfillment and physical outlets
• Emotional safety
• Patience
• Understanding
• Someone who understands working with traumatized dogs... ****or is willing to learn**** (consider this a free mentorship program).

I cannot stress this enough. Cowboy is a very, very special dog.

And he’s endured more than he ever should have in his short life.

Because he’s highly sensitive, these experiences impact him more deeply than they would many other dogs. Much like highly sensitive people (HSPs).

The first eight months of his life here were beautiful. He was safe. Balanced. Secure. He had our home, our routine, our pack, and consistency. He was at peace... and thrived.

Then he was adopted into his first home.

The day he left was the beginning of his trauma. I know that in every fiber of my being. I watched the look on his face when he was loaded up in the car and drove away.

I was ghosted.

Then heard from his person things weren't working out. It was not the right fit.

He was eventually returned — and he was SO happy to be back home.

Then, a few months later, life forced me into an impossible position. In order to continue seeing this rescue effort through and keep them from entering the shelter system, I was forced to leave and move across the country to a friend’s property in SC.

I had Airbnbs set up along the route to keep stress levels as low as possible.

Then, what felt like a total Godwink happened. Through what seemed like an incredible, out-of-the-blue connection, the dogs went to (what I believed was) an ethical, reputable rescue that promised to stay in touch and partner with me to help find them exceptional homes.

They were not. And they did not.

What I eventually uncovered was dark, disturbing, and deeply traumatic in its own right.

After several weeks, I was finally able to get the dogs back.

But once I had them back… there was nowhere for them to go.

So, I purchased kennels and set them up in boarding on a friend’s property 30 minutes away.

Every morning, I drove there at sunrise to feed, relieve, walk, and spend time with them. Then I’d drive home, shower, red light for pain... and head back again for afternoon walks, field trips, and enrichment. Dinner was at 5. Then I drove back home for my own dinner, and back again right after for one-on-one time outside the kennels, last night relief, and sleep.

Then.... I’d wake up and do it all over again.

For weeks this went on.

I was exhausted. My health declined. I lost sleep. My voice went hoarse.

But... we kept going.

Then, the dogs were placed with another small rescue who promised, again, to partner with me in helping them find their forever homes. They said they had a strong vetted foster network and could place each of the dogs in their own individual foster homes. They would remain for 5 days so they could “learn” them (though we all know it takes longer than 5 days to learn a dog, but I digress).

Less than 24 hours later — and without consulting me — Cowboy and Winnie were flipped and placed together with an unvetted foster. With people who “love animals” and wanted to help.

I was blocked from contact with the foster “until some time went by.” I was told I'd be connected with them when Ava went to her board and train.

That connection finally happened in the most devastating way imaginable.

Ironically enough, Ava’s first night in board and train, I got a call from a local vet clinic.

“Hello, Kimberly… we just had a dog by the name of Winnie, microchipped to you, enter our facility.”

“Yes… is she okay?”

“I’m so sorry to tell you…”

And I didn’t hear anything after that.

Steve’s daughter drove me to the clinic so I could see Winnie one last time.

This is still very difficult to write. It’s still very, very fresh.

I still have an immense amount of anger, resentment, and pain I'm working through.

This “friendly recommendation” and unvetted foster situation was not a good fit. And they both paid the price for it. Winnie with her life. Cowboy with another trauma-induced rewiring.

Winnie was hit by a car and died on impact. Cowboy was with her and witnessed the entire thing.

He then spent the night missing alone in coyote territory before finally, and by the grace of God, being found 3 miles away at an elementary school the next afternoon.

He survived.

But dogs do not simply “move on” from experiences like this.

And since then, he's continued living in survival. Getting bounced around. Living in overwhelm. Living in situations that aren't permanent.... at no fault of his own.

He just hasn't found his right match. His right situation. The right people... patient and willing to help him rebuild, rewire, regroup, and overcome.

Right now, he's attached himself deeply — almost desperately — to the woman in the household because his nervous system is still searching for safety and stability. She has a softer energy than her husband and is able to meet him where he’s at.

People think energy is just some woo-woo thing.

No.

It’s real. It’s potent. And it’s one of THE most influential ingredients in canine behavior and how dogs experience the world around them.

Cowboy’s still living in survival mode, and has begun guarding that attachment.

I don’t fault him for that. Not after everything he’s been through.

Cowboy doesn't need more chaos. He does not need more bouncing around. He does not need more overwhelm.

He needs simple.
He needs safe.
He needs UTTERLY BORING.
He needs someone willing to truly see him and meet him where he is right now.

I KNOW there is a place for him in this world.

I know there is someone out there for him.

Whoever welcomes this boy in will be blessed beyond measure.

Because beneath the survival mode, the fear, the overwhelm, and the trauma responses… is one of the sweetest, softest, most emotionally connected dogs I’ve ever known.

This isn't about perfection.... it's about what's perfect for him.

And if someone is willing to truly see him, understand him, guide him, and protect his heart the way it deserves to be protected… they’ll discover just how extraordinary he really is.

While I wish more than anything it could be me, I'm just not in a position where that's possible... which breaks my heart in a million different ways. I no longer own my own home, it's no longer just me living in the home with my pack and my work....

There has to be a heart willing to connect… and protect his.

What I CAN promise is this:

I'll continue doing everything in my power to make sure this boy is safe, loved, understood, protected, and finally given the life and stability he deserves.

Because he deserves that. He always did.
