Shih Tzus and Pomeranians and Maltese, oh my! Our friends at Longleaf Animal Rescue have helped a wonderful woman who had many loved and cared for animals, but was facing a family hardship. If you, or your loved ones, are small dog people, they will be available soon. Start applying with them and keep their previous mom in your thoughts as she had to give up her babies.

Today is a special day to honour those animal companions who have crossed over/through/beyond. Thank you for loving them so deeply that you grieve them. We are all mourning tonight- tag us in your ofrendas 🐾🧡

Today we celebrate Dia de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead for pets. They are not just animals, but our friends, family, and our comfort on difficult days. While their lives may have been short, our love goes on forever. Who are you honoring today?

🍏🍯 Hospice foster, Rosh, came to Neshama from a shelter that was completely full and he was facing a diagnosis of a large internal mass AND advanced heart worms. He knows how to sit, shake and lay down, so he was someone’s at some time but they didn’t use heartworm prevention 🙁 he also had been hit by a car at some point because his back legs don’t work well. His spine healed funny 💔 He went to the vet today for stomach fluid and swelling, had an ultrasound & he was put on Lasix. He is such a sweet and happy boy. So far he hasn’t told us he is ready to go, he runs around in the backyard like a puppy and revels in snuggles. We will keep you posted on his situation, til then if you feel led to donate to his care, we’d appreciate even $10 from each person who reads this! Thank you for caring about Rosh and all Neshama animals.

This business is in Wake Forest. They are benefiting off animal rental… Which should not be a thing! Animals exist for their own reasons and should not be bred to be rented like furniture. If you were interested in taking care of a rabbit for a few weeks or longer, please consider fostering for your local rabbit rescue.

We are sad to announce the passing of Neshama Sanctuary hospice pup, Tzvi. Found as a stray in Charlotte at the age of 16, we only had Tzvi for a couple of weeks, but were able to give him the life ending he deserved- one with meds, care, comfort and love. This is the sacred, soul-challenging work of Neshama and we appreciate all of the beings who were a meaningful part of his time with us. Donations for his end of life care can be made through the website donate.neshamarescue.org or through Facebook. Thank you all. 🐾🤍

HEY NESHAMA CHAVERIM! Our friends at Longleaf Animal Rescue are in need of some fosters. (And some kitty adopters while you're at it!) You all are supporters, adopters, fosters, and general badasses. We are grateful for you and hope you will continue to show up and help the animals! Thank you for your love and work - let's help our friends at Longleaf! This is a hard week and our hearts are broken by so many things. The way to heal a heart is by letting love in - fostering is the best way we know how.

The world is losing all the good ones this week. Today we said goodbye to Neshama Sanctuary Matriarch, Gertie. She is where we got the idea for a sanctuary for senior shelter dogs and we had her for almost two whole years! She was the most beloved of the pack because they all thought she was their mama. A tough old angel til the end, the vet had a difficult time with the euthanasia because the cancer had spread to her heart therefore had tons of fluid build up around that space. Your donations have kept her healthy, happy and comfortable for two years. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity- it bought her time. May we all be kind and gentle to one another in memory of all those we have lost this week. The heaviness is real.

**FILLED! Thank you, Cindy! **
TRANSPORT HELP PLZ: Bunn to NW Raleigh🚕

Early yesterday AM this guy was under a front window when I went out to change the bird baths. He bolted and I lost sight of him but a few hours later he was back sitting in the front little bird garden area. Thankfully I was able to trap him fairly quickly. He's nervous, but warming up with the help of delicious food. I have no clue where he came from but the stars aligned because 2PawsUp had space to take him immediately - he just needs to get there! Is anyone able to be his Uber? Day/time is somewhat flexible. He promises to be a very polite passenger🥹

Meet Pickle 🐾

Pickle is a sweet, handsome 4-year-old boy looking for his forever home. ❤️ He is incredibly loving with his people and has so much love to give. He’s a well-trained, smart boy who loves being part of the family.

Pickle knows sit, can give a high five, is crate trained, up to date on vaccines, neutered and walks well on a leash. He has great house manners and doesn’t get on the furniture unless he’s invited—which is something he absolutely loves! 🥰

What Pickle really wants is a family with a secure, fenced-in backyard where he can safely explore, sniff around, and enjoy being outside. He would thrive with people who will give him attention, affection, and plenty of time with his family.

One important thing: Pickle is not good with cats, so he needs a cat-free home. He would do best with a family that understands his needs and is committed to giving him a loving forever home.

Pickle is such a good boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He deserves a family who will love him as much as he loves his people. ❤️🐶

Please share to help Pickle find his perfect forever home 🥺

We said “see you later” this week to fospice sanctuary pup, Chaser. For the last two years of his life he was lovingly cared for by Amanda and Nick through our sanctuary program. He was loved, always had medical care, had a soft bed, and had a pack to be a part of. Instead of dying in a shelter, we were able to provide him a comfortable 2 years thanks to your donations and the constant care from Amanda and Nick. Thank you to all of Chaser’s care team- including the dogs in his foster home- and please keep them all in your comforting thoughts. We are full of gratitude for this sweet soul and the opportunity to love him until the end. ❤️
