Mufasa got adopted and he’s Georgia-bound! 🐾💛

His forever family met him while they were visiting San Antonio, and today I put him on transport to go home to them in Georgia!

When Mufasa first came to us, we couldn’t even get a leash on him. Watching him learn to walk on a leash and then seeing him off to his new home today made me so proud of how far he’s come. So happy you are going to have a home of your own where you will be loved and spoiled ♥️

Safe travels, Mufasa! Your family is waiting for you. ❤️

Meet Winston! 🖤🤍 This six-year-old corgi is as sweet as his little face suggests!

Winston came to us as an owner surrender just as his family was preparing to welcome a baby. They’d had him since he was a puppy, but he had been living outside. We connected with them the very day they were scheduled to be induced and welcomed him into our care.

He arrived smelling awful, with hair loss across his back and around his neck from scratching at fleas. He needed a good bath, flea treatment, and some TLC—and we’re happy to give him all of that. 💛

Winston is such a happy, friendly, loving little guy! He’s good with dogs, cats, and kids, and he’s been great in his kennel so far. He has that typical corgi charm and would make a wonderful family member.

His last vaccines were in 2021, so we’re getting him caught up, along with deworming and Simparica Trio. He’ll also be heartworm tested, neutered, and microchipped.

Winston is available for fostering, and we’re accepting adoption applications while we complete his vetting. Interested in this sweet boy? Submit an application through the Jotform link in our bio or the link included in this post! 🐾

❤️ The next four weeks could change everything for this sweet boy.

We took him to Dr. Madigan, a veterinarian who specializes in treating Chagas disease. His in-house test was positive. We’re still waiting on his comprehensive blood panel, expected sometime this week, to give us more details about his levels.

The vet suspects right-sided heart failure and estimates he has about a 60% chance of surviving. The next four weeks will be crucial.

Sadly, the fluid has already returned. Since having his belly drained last Tuesday, he has gained eight pounds of fluid and is back up to 28 pounds. That is so much extra weight for his thin body to carry. 💔

Tonight, he starts five prescribed medications, including medicine to support his heart and help his body remove the fluid. Following his vet’s guidance, we’ll focus on a high-protein diet, warmth, comfort, and plenty of love while we give treatment a chance to help.

If he makes it through these next four weeks, he’ll return for a recheck of his levels. The doctor said that if he makes it past 90 days of treatment, he’ll feel very confident that this boy can beat this. Those are the milestones we’re holding onto. ❤️

And this boy has such a beautiful spirit. He is incredibly sweet and just wants someone to sit with him, pet him, and love him. He’s even started showing interest in toys and a ball—possibly for the first time in his life. 🥹

He has survived so much already, and there is reason to be hopeful. His condition is serious, but we’re giving him every chance we can.

Finding him meant getting him help he desperately needed. Now he has people in his corner, a treatment plan, and love surrounding him.

Please send this little fighter all your prayers and good vibes. Four weeks to that first recheck. Ninety days toward a much more hopeful future. For now, we’re taking it one day at a time. ❤️🐾

Twelve pounds of fluid. That’s how much this poor boy was carrying in his belly. 💔

An update on the dog we recently rescued with the severely swollen stomach: he went to the vet for testing and X-rays, and the news was heartbreaking.

Our vet suspects Chagas disease, but we’re still waiting on confirmation. He also has a heart murmur and very pale gums. Given his condition and concerns about heart failure, euthanasia was discussed.

We asked them to send off the blood test so we can better understand what we’re facing. Results should take about a week. We also had the fluid drained from his abdomen to give him some much-needed relief.

He went in weighing 32.6 pounds. After draining the fluid, he weighed just 20.6 pounds. With that enormous belly gone, you can see how incredibly thin he really is. 😞

His vet expects the fluid to return, but we don’t know how quickly. For now, we’re focusing on his comfort—good food, gentle care, and all the love and spoiling he deserves. He has another appointment Monday with a veterinary office that treats Chagas disease to help us understand how advanced his condition may be and whether any treatment options could help him.

We don’t know what his future holds yet, but we want every decision to be guided by his comfort and quality of life. Right now, he is safe, loved, and getting care while we find answers. 🤍

His vet bill was $600, and $200 has been donated toward his care so far. We still need help covering the remaining $400, along with Monday’s appointment and any additional care he may need.

Donations help us care for dogs like him whose medical needs go far beyond routine vetting. Any amount—or a share of his story—means so much to our small rescue.

I spotted a dog in the median off I-35 near Von Ormy. After I pulled over and tried to help him, he ran into the highway—and froze as cars and an 18-wheeler came toward him.

I ran toward him, screaming, trying to scare him out of the road. Thankfully, it worked. He ran across the access road into a property full of broken-down cars.

Looking for him, I found a man living in a trailer with seven dogs. The dog was his.

Then I noticed a dog in a kennel with a belly so big I asked if she was pregnant.

“That’s a boy.”

His body is skin and bones, but his belly is the biggest I have ever seen on a dog. His owner said he has looked like this for THREE MONTHS and he couldn’t afford a vet.

I dewormed all seven dogs, got them treated for fleas and ticks, and vaccinated everyone except this boy, who needs a vet evaluation first. We also need to help get everyone spayed and neutered.

His owner agreed to surrender him and his two siblings: a black female and a brown male, around 10 months old and 30 pounds each. He wasn’t willing to surrender the others, but allowed me to help with their care.

We need FOSTERS for the two siblings to get them into rescue. Their brother will need one once we know his medical needs.

He is here with me tonight and sees our vet tomorrow morning. I’m hoping we reached him in time. I’ll update as soon as we have answers.

For three months, he’s been living like this. Tomorrow, we start finding out why—and how we can help him feel better. Your donations make it possible for our small nonprofit to help dogs like him who need extensive medical care beyond the routine vetting every dog receives. Your support helps cover his testing and treatment and allows us to keep stepping in when dogs need us most. Every dollar helps. 💛

I truly believe fate brought me there today. Saving one dog from getting hit on the highway led me straight to another who desperately needed help. Please share, and message us if you can foster. 🐾

🐾 Meet Margaux! 🤍

Margaux was found right off I-10, trying to get into a hotel. The hotel receptionist helped catch her and said someone had left her there on purpose not long before. 😢 Her rescuer brought her home to foster, and now this sweet girl is looking for her forever home!

Margaux is an adult German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix, around 45–50 lbs, and an absolute LOVEBUG. 🥹 She follows her foster everywhere, lives for belly rubs, and gets so excited when her people come home that she cries happy little cries! She even has the cutest little whisper woofs instead of real barks. 😂

🐾 Potty trained & sleeps through the night
🐾 Great on walks and car rides
🐾 Gets along with dogs, cats & has been around kids
🐾 Spayed, super smart & eager to please!

Will come fully vetted — vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested.

She was shy and nervous at first, but she's blossomed into the most affectionate, loyal little shadow. All this girl wants is someone to love (and follow around the house). ❤️

Are you looking for someone who’s completely obsessed with you? Meet Jerry. 🥹

Jerry is a 1½-year-old little Maltese/Shih Tzu-looking sweetheart who just arrived from South Texas. His owner moved and left him behind, and now this loving boy is ready to find someone who will never leave him again.

Jerry wants to be wherever you are. He’ll follow you around, hop into your lap, and happily give you kisses. He’s friendly, walks on a leash, and is good with dogs, cats, and kids. He’s also ridiculously photogenic—somehow every picture of him is adorable. 📸

Jerry would love a home with someone who’s around often and wants a constant companion. He doesn’t enjoy being kenneled, so a home where he can spend plenty of time with his person would be a great fit.

He’s already been vaccinated and dewormed and is on preventative medication. He’ll be neutered soon and will receive his remaining vet care through our rescue.

If you’re ready for a tiny best friend who thinks you’re the best thing in the world, apply to adopt Jerry through the link in our bio. 🩷

🐾 Carter is looking for his forever home. 🐾
Carter is a handsome 9-year-old male Cockapoo who has suddenly found himself looking for a new family after his beloved owner passed away. 💔
Carter was deeply loved by his person, and right now he is staying at a boarding facility while we search for someone who can give him the loving home he deserves. This has been a big change for this sweet boy, and he would really love to have a family to call his own again. ❤️
Don’t let his age fool you — Carter is surprisingly spry for 9! He has plenty of personality and companionship to give. He is happiest when he is with his people and does experience separation anxiety, so his ideal home would be one where someone is around much of the time.
A little more about Carter:
🐶 9-year-old male Cockapoo
❤️ Good with other dogs
🐱 Has not been around cats
👶 Not recommended with children
✂️ Neutered and up to date on vaccinations
🛁 Requires regular grooming
🏡 Needs a home where he won’t be left alone for long periods
💛 Loving, affectionate, and happiest by his person’s side
Carter has already lost the person he loved most. We would love nothing more than to help him find someone who will open their heart and give him the love, security, and companionship he needs for this next chapter of his life.
Carter doesn’t need a perfect home — he needs the right home. 🐾❤️
If you think Carter might be the companion you’ve been looking for, please send us a message and complete the application on our bio. And if you can’t adopt, please share Carter’s story. You never know who might be the person he’s been waiting for. 🐶❤️
