FOSTER UPDATE: BB, OREO & OUR READY-TO-ADOPT SHIH TZU BOYS, BRIAN AND BOY

Many of you have been following BB's story. After arriving heavily pregnant and losing her puppies, she and Oreo are finally getting a chance to rest.

For perhaps the first time in a long while, these girls don't have to worry about anything. Their foster mom is making sure they have warm beds, good food, gentle routines, and plenty of one-on-one attention. She's even spoiled them with matching winter coats. Day by day, their bodies and spirits are healing as they learn they are safe, loved, and cared for.

BB and Oreo are not available for adoption yet. ORH is coordinating their intake as we work toward their spay surgeries We have already started receiving adoption applications for both girls and are incredibly grateful for the support. At this time, we anticipate they may not be ready for adoption until mid-December.

LOOKING TO ADOPT NOW? MEET BOY & BRIAN
While the girls focus on recovery, two young Shih Tzu mixes are getting ready for forever homes.

Boy and Brian entered rescue after the passing of their owner. Despite losing everything familiar, both boys have remained loving, trusting, and eager to make new friends.

Both are approximately one year old, house trained, and weigh about 19 to 20 pounds. They are scheduled for grooming this week and neuter surgery shortly after.

BRIAN (19 lbs)
Brian is the life of the party. He loves meeting people, takes treats gently, and greets everyone like a long-lost friend. He's still polishing his leash manners and can get a little jumpy when he's excited, but his affectionate personality wins hearts wherever he goes.

BOY (20 lbs)
Boy is a gentle, sweet-natured companion with excellent leash manners. Slightly more reserved than his brother, he blossoms once he feels comfortable. He's playful, treat-motivated, and happiest spending time with his people.
The boys may be adopted together or separately.

Apply to adopt Boy or Brian today. Link in bio or comments.

Three dogs lost their home through no fault of their own, and all three are now safe with us and will be available for adoption soon. They are not bonded, but they arrived together after their owner received an eviction notice. Each one has their own personality, their own needs, and their own story, and each one deserves a soft place to land.

Charlie — 3‑year‑old spayed Chihuahua mix, about 17 lbs. Happy, social, and greets you with her whole heart.

Missy — 1.5‑year‑old spayed Min Pin mix, about 21 lbs. Shy at first, but melts beautifully once she knows you’re gentle.

Jazz — neutered male chocolate Lab, around 99 lbs. Still decompressing, but safe and settling in thanks to an emergency foster.

When these dogs were surrendered on short notice and needed updated vaccines, Okanogan Regional Humane rearranged their schedule to help both the owner and our rescue. Their team always shows up for the animals in our community, offering affordable spay/neuter, emergency care, and rescue partnerships that save lives. I’ll add their full mission in the comments.

A huge thank-you to Racie, who stepped up as an emergency foster for Jazz when he needed a safe place immediately. Her kindness made all the difference.

These three will each get their own separate updates and adoption posts, but for now, we wanted to share their faces and let everyone know they’re safe, loved, and preparing for their next chapter.

If you can’t adopt, please share. Your share might be the one that brings them home.

Cool cats get neutered. Cool cats also go to school to get educated. Stay in school kids or you'll end up like this guy.

Call or visit Okanogan Regional Humane to schedule your cat or dog so they can be cool too.
