🐾 ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT 🐾
Bodhi has been adopted💙

Sometimes an adoption feels like the beginning of something much bigger.

When I received Justin and Brigitte’s application for one of our Rottweiler puppies, their story stopped me in my tracks.

They had lost their beloved Rottweiler, Brutus, almost a year earlier. As I got to know them, I realized Brutus wasn’t simply their dog. For Brigitte, he was her dog—that once-in-a-lifetime love.

I knew that love.

Brutus was to Brigitte what Zelda was to me.

Justin works in law enforcement and founded Honor Serve and Support, a nonprofit focused on first-responder mental health and wellness. He was searching for a Rottweiler with the potential to become his service dog and provide support related to PTSD.

Reading his application, with my own experiences with PTSD and everything I’ve walked through since losing Zelda, I had a thought I couldn’t shake:

Maybe Zelda sent these people my way.

Then Justin and Brigitte came to meet the puppies.

And they met Bodhi. 💜

Today, Bodhi is home, loved beyond measure and in service-dog training for Justin, with work that may eventually allow him to serve alongside the Police Department.

And our little rescue puppy is absolutely crushing it. 🥹

Since his adoption, the three of us have stayed in touch almost daily—talking about Bodhi’s training and shenanigans, but also about Brutus, Zelda and the strange road of grief after losing a dog who was part of your soul.

Bodhi isn’t replacing Brutus. That’s not how love works.

Sometimes, though, the love they leave behind opens a door we never knew we’d walk through.

Justin and I are now talking about ways Honor Serve and Support and Your Love Unleashed may work together in the future.

Maybe this is one beautiful adoption.

Or maybe Brutus and Zelda somehow helped begin a brand-new chapter for all of us. 💜

Either way…

Bodhi is exactly where he’s supposed to be. 🐾

🆘💩WE NEED POOPER SCOOPERS!!!!! 💩 🆘

Look what’s LEFT of our pooper scoopers… and let’s just say… these poor things have been through WAR. 😂😭

The mangled pieces, broken handles, and trashed scoopers are proof that with all the dogs we care for, we go through these things FAST! 🫠

We need some new, sturdy pooper scoopers to keep up with all the 💩 around here! 😂

🙏🏼 If you’d like to help us out, you can purchase the exact ones we need directly here:

There are some updates you desperately hope you’ll never have to write.

Tonight, I have the heartbreaking news that STETSON has been found but not the way any of us prayed he would be. 💔

Stetson went missing from his home in Mead Valley on August 23. I learned that he was missing several days later, and once I did, we immediately began doing everything we could to find him.

Today, I made and shared his lost dog flyer.

Almost immediately, a friend contacted me and said she hoped Stetson wasn’t a Rottweiler she had seen lying in the roadway earlier in the week. She sent me the photo she had taken.

My heart sank 😭

It was Stetson❤️‍🩹

He had been struck by a vehicle on Cajalco, incredibly close to his home, the same day he went missing.

Tonight I had to make the call I never wanted to make and tell his family that their boy was gone.

I am devastated for everyone who loved him, and I am devastated for Stetson.

There is one part of his story that I need people to hear.

Stetson was microchipped 💙

Had his body been scanned, his family or our rescue could have been contacted. Instead, days were spent wondering where he was, hoping he was alive somewhere, searching and waiting for the phone to ring.

So please, if you ever find a deceased dog on the side of the road, remember that dog belongs to somebody.

They have a name.

They have people looking for them.

And they may have a microchip that can bring answers to a family desperately searching.

Please have them scanned whenever possible.

Stetson deserved for someone to know his name. My sweet boy

He came through Your Love Unleashed. He was loved here. He mattered here. And tonight, we mourn him here. I pulled him from Moreno Valley Animal Shelter in March 2026.

I am grateful that we finally know where our boy is, but I would give anything for the answer to have been different.

Rest peacefully, sweet Stetson.
I am so incredibly sorry we couldn’t bring you home. 💔🐾

🔶Please just give me a break, so I can catch my breath. Too much loss. My heart just can’t. I can’t believe this. Sweet boy go give Zelda some love for me.

🎉UPDATE ON BRONX & HIS MOM💙

I promised I would keep everyone updated, and this morning I finally have some really wonderful news to share.

When this started Wednesday, the immediate goal was simple: get this woman and her dog out of their car and into a room.

We were able to get them into a motel Wednesday and keep them there Thursday. At that point, I honestly didn’t know what would happen next. I just knew I couldn’t look at this woman, knowing everything she was facing, and send her back to sleep in her car without at least trying.

Then I shared her story with all of you.

And you showed up. ❤️

Yesterday we went shopping. We got tons of stuff (I’ll post pictures & receipts ASAP) We bought groceries and things she needed. I was able to give her gas cards and food gift cards. She told me she has been struggling for the last couple of months just to feed herself and her dog, so being able to fill a cart with food without her having to worry about what she could afford was pretty damn special. (Yes we got her a cooler) 🙃

But I wanted to give her more than groceries.

I wanted to give her a little bit of time to breathe.

And because of everyone who donated, her motel room has now been secured for NINE MORE NIGHTS. 😭❤️

She does not have to pack her belongings back into her car today.

She does not have to worry about where she and her dog are sleeping tonight.

Her dog has surgery scheduled for Wednesday, and now she has a safe place for both of them before his surgery and while he begins recovering afterward.

That matters more than I can adequately put into words.

Over the next several days, we’re going to work on getting her connected with the public assistance she qualifies for. I’ve also told her I will help with her dog while she handles those appointments. And I’m going to start looking into whether there may be an affordable mobile home, small place with a yard, or another longer-term option that could work for the two of them.

This doesn’t solve everything.

Nine nights isn’t permanent housing. Groceries don’t fix homelessness. A gas card doesn’t erase everything that brought someone to this point.

But sometimes you don’t have to fix someone’s entire life in one day.

Sometimes you just give them enough safety, food, time and breathing room to figure out what comes next.

And THAT is what all of you did.

A few days ago, this woman and her dog were living in their car.

Today she woke up knowing she has a roof over her head through next weekend.

You did that. 💙

Every person who donated. Every person who shared her story. Every person who offered resources, sent a kind message or simply cared about a complete stranger—you were part of this.

I wish all of you could have been there yesterday.

Thank you for trusting me when I put something like this in front of you and say, “I think we can help.”

Apparently, we really FU***NG can. ❤️

More updates to come. For today, I’m just incredibly grateful.

Now off to run the dogs because somehow we all forgot about that part. 🐾❤️

🎉🐾UPDATE POSTED🐾🎉

💜 $5 FRIDAY — A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS WEEK 💜

This ISN’T a rescue fundraiser. This one is personal 🐾🩷

A few days ago, a post came across my feed on Nextdoor about a woman living in her car with her dog.

I didn’t know her. I didn’t know her story. I just knew it had been over 100 degrees outside, there was a dog involved, and naturally, I started asking questions. 😂😂

Does the dog have food? Is she somewhere safe? Does she have a phone? What do they need?

And then I found out the dog was a Rottweiler.

Well. S**t. 😂❤️

Meet Bronx.

As I learned more, I found out that Bronx’s mom recently lost her female Rottweiler Brooklynn to heat stroke while they were living in the car. Her dog died in her lap (just a few days earlier)

And now she’s still living in that same car with Bronx while our temperatures have been reaching around 105 degrees.

That was enough for me.

I reached out to my friend Lori Taking It To The Streets with Lori and Shira, which helps people experiencing homelessness and their pets, and made arrangements for me to pay for Wednesday and Thursday night at a local Motel 6.

I just wanted these two out of the damn heat. ☀️

Yesterday I finally got to meet them. ❤️

I brought Mom groceries, snacks and some goodies, gave her a little cash to keep in her pocket, and took her across the street for a quick lunch at Jack in the box

Bronx got a blanket, new leash and collar, treats, balls, toys and one gigantic stuffed pickle that apparently became his most prized possession. 😂🥒

But my favorite thing wasn’t anything I brought.

It was her SMILE.

Swipe through these pictures.

That’s a woman who has been through more than I’m going to share here, smiling while she walks her boy carrying his ridiculous new pickle.

And then look at Bronx stretched across that hotel bed. 🥰

That’s where I want him tomorrow night, too.

Lori also met with them yesterday, and Bronx’s mom agreed to have him neutered. His appointment is scheduled for Wednesday next week, and we’re going to make sure he gets there.

But their hotel stay ends tomorrow morning.

So I’m hijacking $5 Friday this week.

I’m not asking anyone to fix this woman’s life. I’m not trying to fix it either.

I’m simply asking:

Can we keep Bronx and his mom out of that car for a few more nights?

$5.

That’s it.

Twenty people = $100.
Forty people = $200.

Maybe that’s another night.

Maybe it’s another one after that.

I’ll personally handle the hotel payments, and anything raised through this post will go toward keeping Bronx and his mom safely housed for as many additional nights as we’re able to cover.

Sometimes helping doesn’t require some huge grand gesture.

Sometimes it’s groceries.

Sometimes it’s a hot lunch.

Sometimes it’s a ridiculous stuffed pickle. 🥒😂

Sometimes it’s a hotel room with air conditioning.

And sometimes it’s simply seeing another human being who’s having a really fu***ng hard time and saying:

I see you. Let me help. 🐾💜🥰

Tonight, Bronx and his mom are sleeping somewhere safe.

Let’s see if $5 Friday can give them a few more nights. ❤️🐾

$5 Friday for Bronx & his Momma

🎉ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT🎉
Miss Markie (Canela) now Nellie has found her forever home. On March 16th 2026 an orangecrest community resident reached out telling me a dog that had been roaming and spotted repeatedly had made her way onto the property. I was just returning from picking up dogs at the spay neuter clinic so we made a pitstop. Took me just under an hour to catch this sneaky little lady. She stayed up at my house with my dogs, because I was terrified she would try to escape having been on the run so long. She was walked in and acted like she just belonged there. Who could blame her? I hadn’t considered how or when exactly I was gonna start looking for a home for her. She was easy, enjoyed her dinners, slept on the couch and never caused a problem. One of my alumni adopters brought out her Aunt who was looking for a new companion. The one who checked the boxes. Canela. 💜 transitions are hard, and this girl is so chill, but so sweet and so affectionate. She loves her puppy cousins and met the baby and loved her too. This girl went from the streets to a loving home, (exactly what she deserves) happy tails Canela Nellie. I love you sweet girl.

"My servitude to the dogs..."

I say this all the time.

Watch this short piece, of a longer reel, that Kimberly from The Be Like Josh Foundation put out about Social Media and what it "requires" of us in order to stay relevant and "alive." It's too much of a rat race, as Kimberly (LOVE her) describes.

New "rescues" are popping up like literal "pop-ups" out of nowhere. Using AI and paid advertising to "grow" their [fake] audiences while other rescues that have done meaningful work for years are shutting down because they simply can't stay afloat. It's all so sad to witness.

Some of us are "leveling up" and that means being present and committed to the dogs. It is NOT about putting out better "content" and the number of followers and popularity of it all. NOT about keeping up with the AI BS and paying to have bots boost the algorithm. It's about the REAL work. The reason behind all of this... the dogs. Period.

💙🥺On Thursday 8/6/2026 we said goodbye to our Prince Apollo. Pop-Pop, Popsicle. I won’t make this be about me, just know I am NOT OKAY. This beautiful big boy came to me when he was just a little over a year old, an owner surrender, a failed guard dog (nobody is shocked!) This boy was an orthopedic nightmare from the start. I noticed a limp, (rolled my eyes) and took him to Lincoln Plaza to see Dr Alice Gaertner . When they call you to the back room, it’s never good. This boy had ZERO Hip Sockets and would need FHO surgery. Of course we rallied around him and his surgery was completed a short 3 weeks later. A gentle giant from the word go, never a problem….. pretty freaking perfect from a disposition standpoint. Medically, a cluster. But always with the paw. In the last video clip if you can stomach some extra tears he gives me one more paw. Apollo I knew wasn’t gonna get to live the longest of lives because of his orthopedic/arthritis situation but I would be lying if I said I thought I would lose him so soon. He declined so rapidly. Yes of course, I tried all the things. Adequan injections, librela injections, numelvie(sp?) he was on carprofen his entire life. He always had a soft place to sleep, I bought traction runners for the house. So he had more stability. My poor boy just couldn’t even lift his feet off the floor anymore 😭🥺 I took him for a swim Wednesday, well a float really which he still very much enjoyed. Thursday I knew I couldn’t just keep pushing off the inevitable, I made a plan to take him, Halo followed me out to the car and cussed me out until I loaded her up too. She was his bestie after-all. She laid right by his side the entire time. Checking in with him, then with me. My heart already completely crushed, had to take another strike, another loss. My gentle giant, my big Prince. I just found the video of him and Zelda and for a brief moment a smile came across my face. Then immediately tears. My life has changed in insurmountable ways in such a short period of time. It all is just so much for my heart. These dogs are my life. 💙❤️ Sweet Apollo go find Zelda and clean those ears for me. 10 years wasn’t enough.
