Janice Ivy-Daniels and her son, Cordell, had previously fostered a puppy for FAUNA and were ready for another. Ghost was the lucky one. Ghost fit in so well with their family and was a great playmate to not only Cordell but also their dog Lokie.

Janice tells us a little about life with Ghost…
“We have 7 mature trees in our backyard (playground) LOL, so Ghost is obsessed with catching, chewing, & barking at the falling leaves 🍂!
He also loves to bring in sticks/small branches and hide them all over the 🏠 house. And, Like any puppy, he loves to dig in the dirt, and play in the flower garden.
Ghost is very fond of meal time. He is extremely appreciative of his meals & snacks. He knows “his” bowl 🥣 and always turns 3 or more turns before he gets his bowl.

He gets very sassy after he eats and commences with the soom-ies!!
His favorite thing to do, however, is to play tug-of-war with Lokie (his new brother). And, especially love on his new little human boy!
We love ❤️ Ghost’s personality with all his little grunts & sounds. He’s always talking & communicating with us in his special way.
He gives lots of slobber kisses 💋 out but loves his belly rubs in return.”

What a wonderful Christmas it will be for this family and Ghost, he gets to spend it in his HOME!

Sweet Annie is dreaming of a home of her very own for Christmas. This beautiful, medium-sized yellow Lab mix is a 3-year-old sweetheart with the most loving and affectionate personality.

Annie may have had a rough start in life, but you’d never know it by the way she looks at people now, with pure love. She wants nothing more than to find her family and be right by their side, whether that’s going on fun adventures or curling up next to you for a nap. Annie loves walks and does beautifully on a leash, never in a rush, and often glances back for guidance or trots back to give a kiss.

She loves every person and every dog she meets. Annie’s gentle nature and loving heart make her the kind of companion who would do well in a home with other pets or with children of any age.

This Christmas, Annie is wishing for just one special gift: a forever home and a family to call her own, a place where she can finally feel safe and loved. Could you be the miracle to make her Christmas wish come true?

***UPDATE***
Frankie is looking for a foster home! He weighs a little over 10lbs afer having 1.5 lbs of matted mess filled with trash and even spiders removed from him.
(Look at the added photos to see how adorable he is)
He has a spunky disposition and loves people! We do not know how he is with other animals yet. He will need a medicated bath weekly.
If you would like to help Frankie please complete our foster application.

Looking at the first few pics it’s very hard to tell, but this is a DOG!
This poor boy could barely walk for all of the matted hair! You had to lift up mats to see his mouth and his eyes were hard to find! This didn’t just happen overnight, this abusive neglect took place over a long period of time! Despite the terrible shape he was in he has a sweet personality.
We are grateful to the kind lady who contacted us about him and kept him safe until he could see the vet.
If you would like to donate for Frankie’s care, donations can be made by mailing to:
