*Disclaimer- below text is a from a fundraiser through our Instagram! We know some folks have had trouble donating in the past if they do not have an Instagram account. If you would like to contribute, please send your donation to us via Venmo, PayPal, or our website with a note for Guinevere- all accounts linked in our bio!*

We spent this week celebrating the puppies, now let’s talk about their mama! 💕

Guinevere was sadly abandoned with her 4 babies in St Thomas. Thankfully, our friends from Pets with Wings ensured their safety and took care of them! When they were ready, the puppies made their way to us in Pittsburgh. But you know we couldn’t leave this sweet girl behind! We wanted to bring her here to find her happily ever after as well! 🏡

Guinevere is such a sweet pup. A small girl around 30 lbs, dog friendly, cat friendly, and kid friendly! She is going to make an amazing addition to any home! However, this angel is heartworm positive. You know we care deeply about getting these animals the life saving care they need and we need your help to make it happen! Please donate to help Guinevere get heartworm treatment and live a healthy and happy life!

When we are able to raise the funds for her, she’ll be undergoing treatment with our friends, the wonderful staff at Southside Flats Animal Hospital! 🏥

The last (but certainly not least) puppy adoption announcement is for Koa! 🥳

Hyok, Karen, Sophie, and Jacob first met this little guy (previously named Artie) at our event during Pride. They felt an immediate connection and knew they wanted to make him a part of their family! They came back the very next day to spend more time with him! 🐾

They were so elated when it was finally time to bring him home, the fam even repped their limited edition Heart of Glass shirts when coming to pick him up! 🤗

We have absolutely loved seeing all the fun he’s having in his new home and know he is so lucky to have found such an amazing family! Happy tails , , Sophie, Jacob, and Koa! 💕

☀️ Please help our adoptables stay cool this summer! ☀️

As you can imagine, this constant and intense summer heat is working our AC unit overtime! Due to this, as well as other factors, we’ve seen a major jump in our utility bills! Being such a small organization, we greatly appreciate our community who helps us cover our unexpected or unavoidable expenses! 🙏🏻

We would be so thankful for any donations towards our facility expenses so we can continue to keep our building at a safe and comfortable temperature for our animals while we battle the summer weather! 😎
