🤍 3 MEXICAN HAIRLESS DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! 🤍
🐾 Through Helping Hearts & Healing Tails 🐾

Could one of these sweet, loyal boys be your next best friend? 🏡

Meet Achilles, Nuno Noodle, and Vintorez — three amazing boys looking for loving forever homes! These boys have so much love to give, and each has their own unique personality, quirks, and needs.

All three are approximately 2–3 years old and are currently heartworm-positive and receiving treatment. They are house-trained, and each has so much potential to become someone’s devoted companion. ❤️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🐾 ACHILLES — The Loyal Snuggle Bug 🤍

• Approximately 2–3 years old
• Heartworm-positive (receiving treatment)
• Dog-friendly — prefers dogs that aren’t pushy
• Cat compatibility unknown; gets excited when he sees cats
• Fully potty-trained and kennel-trained

• Not suitable for homes with children

• Trustworthy when left loose in the home

Achilles is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves soaking up the sunshine and snuggling with his favorite person. ☀️ He is incredibly loyal once he bonds with you, and he loves simply being near the person he trusts.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion who enjoys the quiet moments just as much as the cuddles, Achilles might be your perfect match!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🐾 NUNO NOODLE — The Playful, Active Goofball 🖤

• Approximately 2–3 years old
• Heartworm-positive (receiving treatment)
• Dog-friendly
• Cat compatibility unknown
• Not suitable for homes with children
• Fully house-trained, potty-trained, and kennel-trained
• Knows sit and down and enjoys training!

Nuno is our outgoing, energetic, playful little noodle! 🐕 He loves to play, cuddle, train, and spend time with his favorite people. He even has the cutest little prance when luring in heel!

Nuno tends to prefer women and can be nervous or flighty around men. With time, patience, and positive experiences, he can warm up.

Nuno needs a friendly, playful canine companion to help him thrive. He can be adopted separately from Achilles, but he would do especially well with a compatible dog who enjoys playing as much as he does.

Once Nuno bonds with another dog, that connection can be incredibly special. ❤️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🐾 VINTOREZ — The Ultimate Velcro Dog 🤍

• Approximately 2–3 years old
• Heartworm-positive (receiving treatment)
• Dog-friendly
• Has shown no interest in cats, though introductions are still recommended
• Not suitable for homes with children
• Fully potty-trained, house-trained, and kennel-trained
• Trustworthy when left alone

Vintorez is a total sweetheart who loves nothing more than cuddling up on the couch or curling up in bed with his person. 🥹

He’s a loyal, affectionate boy who forms deep attachments. Once he loves you, he wants to be wherever you are! He may cry when you leave because he becomes so attached, so his future family should be prepared to help him build confidence with alone time.

Vintorez tends to bond more easily with women and has kept his distance from his current male housemate. A patient female adopter who understands his need for trust and time may be his ideal match.

He’s silly, affectionate, and happiest when he’s close to his person. He also enjoys having a compatible canine friend to play with!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🤍 CAN YOU GIVE ONE OF THESE BOYS THEIR FOREVER HOME? 🤍

✨ All three boys can be adopted separately.
✨ Adopting them together would be wonderful, but it is not required.
✨ Nuno and Vintorez would benefit from compatible canine companions.
✨ Achilles would do best with a respectful dog who understands boundaries.
✨ All three will need continued heartworm treatment and appropriate veterinary follow-up.

These boys aren’t just looking for a place to live. They’re looking for people who will love them, understand their individual needs, and give them the safe, happy lives they deserve.

Could Achilles, Nuno Noodle, or Vintorez be the missing piece of your family? 🏡🐾

📩 Interested in adopting? Please reach out to Helping Hearts & Healing Tails for more information or complete. An application at helpingheartshealingtails.org.

🏠 All 3 dogs are currently fostered in Memphis, TN.

Please share to help these handsome boys find their forever homes. Every share could lead them to their person. 🤍🐾

🚨SPECIALIZED MEDICAL FOSTER NEEDED!🚨

PLEASE MEET KORRA: THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE LITTLE FRENCH POTATO WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION. 🥔🏎️💨

Have you ever looked at a French bulldog and thought, “You know what my life needs? A tiny, judgmental gargoyle with the medical complexity of a small Victorian hospital and the dramatic flair of a Broadway actress who has never once been told no.”

WELL, HAVE WE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU. 🤣

Korra is a 3-year-old French bulldog who recently joined Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue. She’s spayed, vaccinated, ridiculously adorable, and apparently came equipped with an industrial-strength snoring system.

She also provides unsolicited commentary on absolutely everything. Your opinion is neither requested nor required.

Unfortunately, our tiny French potato has some pretty significant medical problems, and we desperately need to find her a very special foster home.

🚨 LET’S TALK ABOUT HER MEDICAL CONDITION. 🚨

Korra suffers from Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) and underwent spinal surgery on September 22, 2026, after a ruptured disc caused severe spinal cord compression and paralysis of her hind legs.

Currently, Korra has no functional use of either back leg.

Now, before you start imagining a sad little potato lying around feeling sorry for herself, allow us to clarify something.

KORRA HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE DISABLED.

This little lunatic has perfected front-wheel drive and can propel herself across the ground at speeds that should require registration with the Department of Transportation.

Her rear suspension may be out of commission, but her engine is running at FULL CAPACITY. 🏎️💨

Unfortunately, just because she CAN drag herself around doesn’t mean she SHOULD.

She’s still recovering from spinal surgery, and allowing her to drag herself across floors, pavement, or other surfaces can cause injuries to her legs and skin.

Her movement needs to be carefully managed, and she must follow her veterinary activity restrictions.

🚽 NOW LET’S DISCUSS THE PLUMBING DEPARTMENT.

And we’re going to be very upfront here because this is NOT a typical foster situation.

Korra cannot currently empty her bladder independently and requires manual bladder expression.

Her prescribed bladder medication, prazosin, is given every eight hours, with bladder expression performed approximately 30 minutes afterward.

This means her foster should be available and capable of maintaining a consistent medication and bladder-care schedule, including overnight hours as needed.

If her bladder isn’t emptied properly, it can become overly full and cause overflow leakage.

Translation: THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM MAY ACTIVATE WITHOUT WARNING. 💦

She also has no voluntary bowel control.

Yes, that means p**p happens when p**p happens.

Diapers can be used, but they must be changed promptly when soiled, and Korra must be kept clean and dry to prevent skin irritation, urine scald, and other complications.

There will be accidents. There will be laundry. There will probably be moments when you question your life choices.

We promise the face makes up for a lot. 🥹

💊 MEDICATIONS & PHYSICAL THERAPY

Korra currently receives prazosin, gabapentin, and Apoquel for allergies. Trazodone is also available if needed under veterinary direction.

Her foster must be comfortable administering medication on schedule.

She also requires physical rehabilitation exercises, including the passive range-of-motion and supported exercises outlined in her veterinary discharge instructions.

This is incredibly important.

Korra had surgery approximately one month ago, and we do not yet know how much neurological function she may regain.

With time and appropriate rehabilitation, she MAY recover some use of her back legs.

She also may never walk independently again.

We simply don’t know.

Eventually, a drag bag or specially fitted doggie wheelchair may be an option if she remains paralyzed, but those decisions will be made as she progresses and receives further veterinary evaluation.

❤️ SO WHAT KIND OF FOSTER ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We need someone who:

🐾 Can maintain a consistent medication and bladder-expression schedule, approximately every eight hours under her current instructions.

🐾 Is experienced with manual bladder expression or willing and able to learn proper technique with veterinary guidance.

🐾 Can perform her prescribed physical therapy exercises consistently and correctly.

🐾 Understands the importance of restricted activity and preventing injury to her paralyzed legs.

🐾 Can monitor her skin, change diapers when necessary, manage incontinence, and keep her clean and comfortable.

🐾 Has the time, patience, and ability to provide hands-on medical care throughout the day.

🐾 Can provide a safe, controlled environment without jumping, stairs, roughhousing, or opportunities for unauthorized high-speed potato pursuits.

🐾 Understands that her paralysis may be permanent and is willing to care for her regardless of whether she regains mobility.

Previous experience with IVDD, paralyzed dogs, veterinary medicine, or special-needs animals would be wonderful, but a dedicated person who can learn and reliably provide her care is also worth considering.

Korra has a veterinary appointment scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, when we hope to learn more about her current neurological condition and rehabilitation needs.

Some requirements may change following that appointment. However, we want potential fosters to be fully prepared for the level of care she currently requires rather than underestimate her needs.

🐶 NOW, ABOUT HER PERSONALITY…

Despite everything she’s been through, Korra is playful, affectionate, ridiculously entertaining, and apparently very comfortable expressing her opinions on household management.

She also snores like a middle-aged construction worker after a twelve-hour shift.

She’s only been with us a short time, so we haven’t evaluated her interactions with other dogs yet.

What we DO know is that she has already demonstrated a remarkable ability to cause chaos using only 50% of her available limbs.

AND WE ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER. ❤️

But as much as we love this ridiculous little gargoyle, we know she deserves a foster home where she can receive the consistent, individualized attention her recovery requires.

Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue is already stretched incredibly thin, but we couldn’t turn our backs on her.

Korra doesn’t need someone to feel sorry for her.

She needs someone willing to do the work.

Someone who will celebrate every tiny bit of progress, manage the difficult parts of her care, and love her just as much if her back legs never work again.

Someone who understands that a dog doesn’t need four functioning legs to have an incredible life.

PLEASE HELP US FIND KORRA HER VERY OWN PERSONAL POTATO NURSE. 🥔❤️

If you believe you can provide the specialized medical foster care Korra needs, please contact Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue.

And if you can’t foster, PLEASE SHARE. Her perfect person may be one share away.

Let’s give this tiny, opinionated, snoring French gargoyle every possible chance at the beautiful life she deserves. ❤️🐾

❤️🐾 A LITTLE WITCHY MAGIC. A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE. AND A COMMUNITY WITH INCREDIBLE HEARTS. 🧙‍♀️🖤✨

From all of us at Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue, we want to extend our deepest, most heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s Ligonier Witches Bike Brigade such an incredible event!

🧙‍♀️ To the amazing women who organize the Witches Bike Brigade:

You are truly the magic behind it all. The countless hours of planning, organizing, coordinating, and making sure every little detail comes together do not go unnoticed. What everyone sees on the day of the event is only a fraction of the work that goes into making it happen.

You pour your hearts, creativity, time, and energy into bringing this community together, and we cannot begin to express how grateful we are that you continue to do it for the animals who need us most.

❤️ To the incredible businesses that participated, sponsored, and donated:

THANK YOU for showing up for our rescue and our animals!

Whether you donated money, merchandise, gift baskets, raffle items, food, services, or simply opened your doors and welcomed a whole lot of witches into your establishments, you helped make this event possible.

Small businesses and local communities are the backbone of events like this. Your generosity, support, and willingness to give back mean more than you could ever imagine. We know that businesses have their own expenses, challenges, and responsibilities, which makes your decision to support our mission even more meaningful.

🐾 To every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and hard work:

We see you. We appreciate you. And we are so incredibly thankful for you.

From setting up and organizing to selling tickets, helping with raffles, managing the crowds, cleaning up, and handling the countless little things that most people never even notice, you helped make this day possible.

Your time is valuable. Your energy is valuable. And the fact that you chose to give both to help animals who cannot help themselves means everything to us.

🖤 And to every single witch, supporter, donor, and member of this amazing community:

THANK YOU for showing up, having fun, opening your hearts, and supporting our rescue.

For us, this event is so much more than a day filled with witches, laughter, costumes, and a little chaos.

It is hope.

It is food in hungry bellies. It is veterinary care for animals who have suffered. It is medication, surgeries, warm beds, and second chances.

It is the ability to look at an animal who has been abandoned, neglected, abused, or forgotten and say, “You’re safe now. We’re going to fight for you.”

Rescue has never been easy, but this year has been especially difficult. There have been heartbreaking losses, overwhelming expenses, and moments when we’ve wondered how we could possibly keep going.

And then something like the Ligonier Witches Bike Brigade happens.

An entire community comes together, not because they have to, but because they care.

And suddenly, we are reminded that we aren’t fighting this battle alone.

Every single person who played a part in this event helped make a difference in the lives of animals who may never know your names, but whose lives are better because of you.

There simply aren’t enough words to express what that means to us.

To the organizers, businesses, volunteers, participants, and supporters, please know that your kindness reaches far beyond one event or one day.

It lives on in every animal we are able to save.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for standing beside us. And thank you for helping us continue to give the forgotten, the broken, and the unwanted the second chances they deserve.

Turns out, the most powerful magic doesn’t come from spells or potions.

It comes from a community full of people with extraordinary hearts. 🧙‍♀️❤️🐾

With all our love and gratitude,

The Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue Family ❤️🐾

Even without a safe space to do what I do, I'm still showing up for the things I believe in. And tomorrow, that means a little LWBB magic. 🖤

A few months ago, I had big plans for this week. Giveaways, pop up guests, our scarecrow, and much more. Doing our best to pivot.

As planned, I am giving away a custom print featuring a witch holding a sign that says “Need a ride to Ligonier.” Sometimes, a witch just needs to find her way home ❤️

⭐️ Lilla will draw the winner from the pre-purchased pass numbers tomorrow evening at 7 PM!

And for anyone who wants a little magic of their own, I have TWO of these Ligonier prints available for purchase on my website right now. With almost no inventory to sell at the moment, the support means more to me than I can put into words. Truly.

Let's remember the magic of the Ligonier Witches Bike Brigade goes so far beyond the costumes, the cackling, and the incredible spectacle of it all. 🧹 It's a community of people who show up, have fun, and turn that energy into real help for local animal rescues. Those rescues need us. The animals need us. And this event makes a difference in ways that matter long after the witches have ridden off into the sunset.
Helping Hearts & Healing Tails Animal Rescue and the Beth Luther Homeless Pets Fund can continue their important mission with the help received.

What do we love about our LWBB witches?
They know a thing or two about being misunderstood, standing their ground, and refusing to let someone else write their story. 😉

And sometimes, when life hands you a whole lot of darkness, you have to find your own kind of magic. You have to keep showing up for the things that matter, even when your own world feels like it's falling apart.

So here's to the witches. The truth-tellers. The ones who protect what matters ❤️

May your broom be fast, your circle be strong, and may you always find your way to the light. 🖤✨

It is painful to miss this event. I will be sharing some SOS LWBB memories over the next 24 hours leading up to the drawing.
Let's make some magic for the animals who need us.
