Chloe 🌈🐾

We said goodbye to our girl today, and we’re just heartbroken.

Chloe came to us after her owner passed away. She was 13 and had lost her person, and we got to be her family for the last year, 8 months and 4 days of her life. We’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

She was such a precious little dog. She played with her toys constantly, like she had no idea she was 15. If there was food anywhere, she knew about it. Bacon and sardines were her absolute favorites, and she made sure we knew it. On sunny days you’d find her waddling around the porch with her nose to the ground, sniffing every single thing, and then plopping down to bake in the sun. And she’d flip over for belly rubs for anyone who’d give them to her.

She was feisty right up until the end. She was still Chloe, still bossy, still ours.

We’re so grateful she got to spend her last chapter here with us. The house is going to feel really sad for a while. We just miss her so much already.

We love you, Chloe girl. We know you’re reunited with your mom in heaven now. ❤️ 🌈 ❤️

Thank you, FGCU! 💚🐾

A huge thank you to the FGCU students who volunteered at Belly Rub Ranch Rescue for Make a Difference Day! They power washed and cleaned the dogs’ patio potty area, moved a LOT of pea gravel into the dogs’ walking areas, did yard maintenance, and socialized, fed, and played with our puppies, kittens, and cats. 😅

We also talked with them about what animal rescue means for our community:

🐾 Rescue is more than adoption. It’s medical care, rehab, socialization, and a whole lot of love before an animal is ready for a forever home.

✂️ Spay and neuter is the long-term solution. We’re proud to partner with Spay&Neuter Initiative Program , whose work helps stop the cycle of unwanted litters.

🏡 Fostering saves lives. Every foster home opens up space for another animal in need.

🙌 Anyone can make a difference. Volunteering, sharing, donating, or adopting instead of shopping all add up.

We loved seeing young people so passionate about animals!

Big thanks also to:
🪨 Superior Stone Distributors in Naples, for a discount on our pea gravel and working with us. Please support local!
🔩 American Scrap Iron and Metal in Cayce, SC, and our friend Tim, for their generous donation.

It truly takes a village. 🌺
