🐾 **Help Us Save Lives in 2026** 🐾

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re asking our amazing community to help keep our rescue going strong. Every single donation helps provide food, veterinary care, and safe passage for dogs pulled from high-kill shelters. Your support allows us to keep saying **YES** to dogs who desperately need help.

❤️ **Urgent Medical Need: Meet Smokey**

Right now, one very special dog needs us urgently.
Smokey is facing a life-changing surgery costing **$10,000+**. While he’s made incredible progress since coming into our care, he’s not out of the woods yet. Without this surgery, his future—and his comfort—are uncertain. With it, Smokey has a real chance at a healthy, happy life filled with love. 🐶💙

✨ **Your Support Makes a Difference**
Your donation helps us:
• Rescue dogs throughout 2026
• Cover critical and emergency medical care
• Give Smokey—and many others—a second chance at life

No amount is too small. Every dollar brings us closer to giving Smokey the care he needs and continuing our life-saving mission.

Cookie 🍪 update ✨

Cookie is a very sweet girl who is looking to be adopted! She’s amazing with people of all ages and is would love a family to cuddle with. Cookie has been with her foster for over a year now and he has nothing but great things to say about her.

Here are some notes below

I’ve had Cookie for one year and she sleeps in my bed, and enjoys the big backyard. I personally trained her to go outside to do her mess and to use the wee wee pad when I have to leave her alone to do errands. She’s special - has the sweetest soul, never barks and runs to every human being to be pet. I work in a Hotel and our guests just love her. Cookie visits every dept every day to say hello to all the staff. they love her so much, and everyday they ask me to please adopt her to be the hotel mascot!

Let us know if you want to make Cookie a permanent part of your family! Cookie is working on her dog-dog skills so it’s best she be in a single dog home

MOOSE UPDATE ✨

Moose is an energetic sweet Frenchie who loves to be by your side. He enjoys walks, light wrestling, belly rubs(like a lot) and napping. He’s very sweet and cuddly but also has a silly playful side. He has great house manners - never had an accident in his foster. As is typical for Frenchies, he is highly treat/food motivated. He is friendly with other dogs and has been around kids - however he would probably do best in a age 10+ home. He would love to be the center of attention - and deserves it!

Moose is ready for adoption, DM if interested

URGENT FOSTER / ADOPTER NEEDED 🚨 LA AND BAY AREA RESIDENTS PLEASE APPLY. Puma is in need of a new foster home, his foster parents have done such a good job with him thus far and we’re really excited to see how much more Puma can learn. Ideally Puma would go to a shepherd / working breed savvy home. Here’s his updated bio below

—
🐾 Meet Puma 🐾
This handsome shepherd got his second chance the day he was pulled from the shelter, just hours before euthanasia. We couldn’t let this loving, enthusiastic boy go. And now he urgently needs a long term foster home or adopter. 💛

Puma is smart, loyal, and cuddly. He loves being close to his people, whether he’s curled up beside you, riding shotgun, or out for a run (he’s a great jogging buddy!).

He’s made great progress:
✨ Walks are improving
✨ No more barking at strangers
✨ Responds beautifully to redirection

Puma is still learning to manage his big feelings. He can be nervous around new people, gets very excited to play with other dogs and may pull on leash, and feels anxious when left alone. But he’s eager to please and improving every day.

He’d thrive with someone who works from home, enjoys training, and can give him the time, patience, and love to keep growing.

Puma is living proof that second chances save lives. 💛
We need a new foster home for him now — please DM us if you can help or know someone who can.

UPDATE FOSTER FOUND 12/13

FOSTER NEEDED: Ella Mae’s foster will be going out of town 12/26-12/31 and we are seeking someone who can watch her in that time or better yet! Adopt this sweet girl. If you have any questions or would like to help please DM us. Ella Mae’s bio below

Meet Ella Mae — your new best friend waiting to happen!

Ella Mae is a total sweetheart with a heart full of love. She adores her people and will happily follow you around the house, always hoping for cuddles and connection. She’s friendly with adults and wonderful with young kids, making her a great companion for a family looking for a gentle, affectionate dog.

She’s still learning to feel confident around new dogs and cats she meets on walks, but she’s come a long way. With slow introductions and patience, she’s learned to get along and even play with her foster brother, a Shiba Inu. She’ll continue to thrive in a home that gives her positive guidance and reassurance.

Ella Mae is an easygoing, calm girl who loves pets, belly rubs, and hanging out. She enjoys relaxing in the backyard, sunbathing, and chasing squirrels (her favorite pastime!). She’s also very food-motivated and LOVES treats, which makes training fun and easy.

She’s crate-trained, house broken, knows some commands, has good recall, and overall brings a joyful, happy energy wherever she goes.

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who just wants to be by your side, Ella Mae might be the perfect match. She’s ready to find her forever home — could it be with you?
