🐾✨ Another Busy (and Fun!) Day at the Rescue ✨🐾

It was a full day of wagging tails and happy hearts! First, we were thrilled to welcome back Ashley Lawrence of Dogs n’ Cats Oh My In-Home Grooming, who stopped by to give several of our pups a much-deserved spa day. 🛁🐶 Ashley is amazing with the dogs and always does a fantastic job—our pups look and feel fabulous! If your dog is due for a little pampering, be sure to reach out to Ashley at [email protected] and check out her website to see all the services she offers. Trust us… your pup will thank you!

Next, we headed out to see if we could help one of our local shelters with dogs who had run out of time. We are so happy to share that we were able to say yes and welcome two new faces into our rescue family—Pearl and Kobe, now Gabe (short for Gabriele, inspired by the little “wings” on his back). 💙🐾

These two couldn’t be any sweeter—friendly, happy, and so grateful to be safe. You’ll definitely be hearing more about them very soon, so stay tuned!

🚨🐾 ATTENTION, FUTURE GOLDBERG FAMILY! 🐾🚨

A family out there is seriously missing out… because Goldberg is still waiting! 💙

This adorable, fun-loving pittie is everything you could want in a best friend. Goldberg lives for playtime—especially with his favorite jolly ball—and when the snow starts falling? Oh boy… this guy is in his element! ❄️🐶 He would love nothing more than a family to run, play, and make snowy memories with.

But it’s not all play—Goldberg is also a total gentleman. ✔️ Housetrained
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Knows his basic commands
✔️ Smart, well-mannered, and incredibly handsome

At 3 years 9 months old and 60 pounds, Goldberg is the perfect mix of playful energy and loyal companion. Best of all? He loves everyone he meets and truly is such a good boy.

If you’re looking for a dog who will bring laughter, love, and nonstop fun into your life—Goldberg is your guy. Don’t let another day go by without meeting him… your family might just be missing its missing piece. 🐾❤️

🎉🐾 Congratulations to GiGi on Finding Her Forever Home! 🐾

We are so happy to share that sweet GiGi has officially found her forever home—and she’s already living her best life! 💕 Her new mom reports that GiGi (now proudly renamed Saylor in honor of the Navy 💙⚓) is the “sweetest dog ever” and that she feels incredibly lucky to have her.

Saylor was adopted on the day of the Army/Navy game, making her new name extra special. Even better? She is 100% housetrained, settling in beautifully, and already loving life with her new siblings—Maggie and the cat! 🐶🐱

Way to go, GiGi (Saylor)! We couldn’t be happier for you and your wonderful family. Here’s to a lifetime of love, cuddles, and happy adventures! 💙🐾

🎉🐾 Pupdate Time — Happy 1 Year Gotcha Day, Lexi! 🐾🎉

Today marks one whole year since sweet Lexi went home, and what a year it has been! 💕

In the past year, her family celebrated a huge milestone with retirement from the Coast Guard after 20 years of service—thank you for that service! 🇺🇸 Along with this exciting new chapter came a big move, and Lexi has officially become an Iowa girl.

She’s learning the joys of town life with her very own fenced yard, but her favorite adventures happen at the farm, where she gets to run free, play hard, and soak up all the happiness a dog could want. 🌾🐕

Lexi has settled beautifully into her life, and it’s clear she is living her very best happily-ever-after. Congratulations to Lexi and her wonderful family on one amazing year together—here’s to many more filled with love, adventures, and wagging tails! 💙🐾

🎉🐾 Congratulations to Stella the Frenchie on finding her forever home! 🐾🎉

After losing their beloved Frenchie, Lisa and Karl felt the emptiness that only a dog-shaped hole can leave. Life just wasn’t the same. Then one day, while at the vet, they saw Stella… and in that moment, they knew. She was the one. 💕

Stella is now headed to a loving home where she will be spoiled, adored, and get to enjoy life with her pug sibling—we can already picture the playtime, snuggles, and mischief as they romp and play until their hearts are content. 🐶🐶

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing foster, Kristina, for giving Stella love, care, and comfort while she waited for her forever family — and for taking Stella to see Santa, too! 🎅 Santa made sure her wish came true early.

✨ Congratulations to Stella, Lisa, and Karl — this is the happy ending we all love to see! ✨

🐾 So many wonderful adoptions this weekend — so stay tuned for more! 🐾

One special adoption we just have to share is Roadie, now Remy. 💙

This precious little boy was found abandoned in a box at just around 4 weeks old — alone, scared, and far too young to be on his own. A kind Samaritan brought him to a shelter, where the staff at St. Mary's County Animal Services lovingly bottle-fed him and made sure he grew healthy, safe, and strong. They adored him, and when we asked if we could welcome him into our rescue, they said yes.

Thanks to our amazing foster families, Remy never spent a single night in the rescue — only in loving homes while he waited for the perfect forever family. And then came Jenny and her husband, Cisco. After recently losing their beloved Chicory, their hearts were broken, but they knew life just wasn’t the same without a dog to love. While they weren’t actively looking, they trusted the right pup would find them… and Remy did exactly that.

Jenny and Cisco love getting together with friends for puppy parties, and we have a feeling Remy is going to be a huge hit at every single one. 🐶🎉 And stop by her shop, Dusk & Willow Designs and we are sure you will be able to meet Remy there!

✨ Congratulations to Remy, Jenny, and Cisco! ✨
Your family is complete, and we couldn’t be happier for all of you. 💕

🥧 Meet Pie — Our Dog of the Week! 🐾

How can you resist a face like this? Pie is an adorable 6-month-old pup weighing about 30 pounds, and she is everything a puppy should be — playful, friendly, and cute as can be!

Pie loves heading out for walks, playing fetch and tug, and most of all, showering everyone she meets with cuddles and kisses. She’s full of joy and ready to share it with a family of her very own.

✨ Even sweeter — Pie’s adoption fee is sponsored by our friends at Prince Frederick Chrysler Jeep Dodge! ✨

Let’s get Pie home for the holidays — she’s guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and lots of love to any family lucky enough to call her theirs. 💕🐶

✨🐾 Tino Is Back… and Better Than Ever! 🐾✨

Guess who’s back and ready to charm his way straight into your heart (and your home)? Tino! 💛

With his adorable face, short stubby little legs, and that wiggly little trot, Tino knows exactly how to work a room—and he does it effortlessly. This 2-year, 1-month-old 26-pound Dachshund mix is beyond cute and full of personality.

Tino is happy, lovable, and ready for his next chapter. If you’re looking for a pint-sized pup with big charm and endless cuteness, Tino just might be your guy.

Submit an application to meet him and see for yourself—resisting him is nearly impossible! 🐶💕

✨🐾 Stella Pupdate! 🐾✨

We’ve had quite a few Stella fans asking how she’s been doing lately in her foster home… so we figured we’d share an update.

And honestly? We’ll just let you be the judge. 😆

From living her absolute best life to clearly running the household, Stella has settled right in and seems to be enjoying every minute. Whether it’s relaxation, silliness, or pure Stella-style confidence, she’s clearly got the whole foster thing figured out.

Stay tuned for more Stella moments—because this girl never disappoints! 💕🐶

✨🎄 A DREAM COME TRUE FOR JILL PICKLE 🎄✨

Call it a dream come true. Call it a Christmas miracle. Call it everything we’ve hoped for. After 852 long days, our one-and-only Jill Pickle is officially HOME. 💚

From the moment this wonderful couple met her, they were completely smitten—just like we’ve all been from day one. And while Jill loves her whole family, let’s be honest… this girl is a total Daddy’s girl. The way she looks at him says it all—and its crystal clear that he loves her even more. 🥹🐾

Today, our rescue celebrated BIG. Happy tears, huge smiles, and hearts absolutely bursting. Jill Pickle’s journey has been long and sometimes hard, but it led her exactly where she was meant to be—into a home filled with love, devotion, and forever.

We also want to send a huge thank you to Misty Gibson of TWP Motorsports for so generously sponsoring Jill Pickle’s adoption fee. Your kindness helped make this beautiful ending possible, and we are so grateful for your support. 💙

Congratulations, sweet Jill Pickle. You waited so patiently, and now your forever has finally begun. 💫🏡🐾

💗🐾 The cutest Pupdate alert! 🐾💗

We received the most adorable Pupdate about sweet Riblet (or “Ribs” for short) along with the cutest pictures of her and Winter, and it truly made our day.

Just over a year since going home, Riblet is absolutely thriving! She has perfected the balance of playtime and snuggle time—mornings are for fun, evenings are for naps, and every moment in between is filled with love. She keeps Snowball on his toes with wrestling and chase (so much so that Snowball has lost a few pounds—vet approved! 🙌).

Riblet is clearly the heart of her home:

A professional snuggler with Mom during the day

A gentle bedtime buddy for the 10-year-old

A homework-break supervisor for the teenager

And a fetch champion for the 5-year-old

She’s also been showing off her brains and beauty in advanced training and agility classes, complete with her signature dog-show prance that leaves classmates jealous. Those fabulous ears aren’t just for looks either—Riblet takes her job as household alert system very seriously.

Of course, no Riblet update would be complete without mentioning her quirks:
🐛 Crunchy worms (a delicacy, apparently)
🧦 Chair sock heists—stolen quietly and proudly paraded
🦴 A serious love for rubber toys (so. many. toys.)

Riblet is also a fantastic travel buddy, recently enjoying a trip to Colonial Williamsburg where she soaked up all the smells, attention, and admiration for her giant ears and wiggly personality.

We are beyond grateful to see Riblet living such a full, joyful life and are so thankful to her wonderful family for sharing this beautiful update. This is exactly why we do what we do.

Happy gotcha-versary, Riblet—we love you! ❤️🐶
