A little wind and wild weather couldn’t stop this crew! 🌊🐾🎓

Our obedience class wrapped up graduation day at the beach with a full-blown nor’easter blowing through! Between the strong winds, crashing waves, and plenty of distractions, these pups got to put their training to the test in some pretty challenging conditions!

We’re proud of all the hard work these dogs and their owners have put in. What a way to finish out class! 💪🐕

🐾 FOSTER HOMES NEEDED! 🐾❤️

These two sweet German Shepherd puppies are looking for someone willing to give them the love, patience, and consistency they deserve!

At just 7–8 months old, these pups have already had a rough start. They came to us as owner surrenders after experiencing neglect, and while they have a lot of catching up to do, they are incredibly sweet dogs with so much potential. ❤️

They need socialization, exposure to new experiences, structure, and consistency to help them build confidence and learn how to just be dogs!

Our hope is to find them loving foster homes rather than having to place them with a rescue. We want them to experience what it’s like to be part of a family, have a routine, and learn all those everyday things that help turn puppies into happy, well-adjusted companions.

They don’t need perfect homes. They need patient, committed people willing to give them a chance. 🐶❤️

If you’ve ever considered fostering or fostering to adopt, this could be your opportunity to make a HUGE difference in a dog’s life!

📩 Interested in fostering one of these sweet pups? Please reach out to us! And if you can’t foster, sharing this post could help us find the perfect homes for them!

🚒🐾 National Fire Pup Day meets National Black Dog Day! 🖤

We took our very own black Standard Poodle, Billy, down to Station 12 to help us celebrate two pretty special days!

Firehouse dogs have a long history alongside firefighters. Dalmatians became known as firehouse dogs because of their ability to run alongside horse-drawn fire carriages, helping clear the way and staying with the horses while crews fought fires. Over time, they became a beloved symbol of the fire service—and we think that history deserves a day of recognition! 🚒🐾

Billy may not be a firehouse dog, but he was happy to stop by and help us celebrate their legacy while representing all the beautiful black dogs out there! 🖤🐩

A huge thank you to the crew at Station 12 for welcoming Billy and for everything you do for our community!
