And another one! Meet Swifty! This little girl comes to us from Houston. She’s about 1 year old, and a bit on the nervous side but she warms up quickly. She will be arriving in the Burgh early next week, and she’s looking for a foster home to land in. Could it be with you?

Hello everyone!

Misa has her big vet appointment this Monday, and we’re so close to reaching our goal. We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who has donated so far, your generosity means so much to us and to Misa. Every little bit helps her get the care she needs right now.

She’s the sweetest girl, and she deserves to be happy and healthy. If you’re able to donate or share, it truly makes a difference for her.

Thank you for being in Misa’s corner ❤️

Two more arrivals! Meet Maruchan and his sister Sopita! These two just joined us from San Antonio ACS, thanks to an amazing foster and our friends at All Dogs Welcome Pet Services.

These two pups unfortunately tested positive for heartworm, so they won’t be available for adoption until it is full treated in Texas. But stay tuned for pupdates! 🐾

Meet Jagger! This distinguished gentleman is one of the newest members of our pack. This little dude found himself in the local shelter, but he is now retiring to the ‘Burgh.

Jagger will be arriving in Pittsburgh next weekend and is looking for a foster or foster-to-adopter. He’s an affectionate and friendly older guy looking for a couch and human companion to spend his golden years with.

Will it be with you? Please apply if you can open your home this sweet senior 🩵

This has been a very busy week for us!

We have a few new arrivals! Please welcome Queenie and Miso to the rescue. We also have another little guy who will be joining us this weekend, stay tuned!
All of our new arrivals are in need of vet care so donations are greatly appreciated.
Hopefully this is a fluke and not a portent of how overwhelmed shelters will be this summer 😬!

Meet Misa! We just rescued this little cutie from one of our newest partners in Houston. She had a loving family, but after they lost their home, they were forced to surrender her.

Misa will be arriving in Pittsburgh soon and is looking for a foster who can give her a safe, calm place to heal while she recovers from an autoimmune condition. She’s an incredibly sweet girl and already has experience living in a home.

If you can open your home to Misa, you’ll be giving her the second chance she deserves. 🐾
