🥹🥹🥹 These two are such incredible travelers. They never fuss, don’t get car sick, don’t climb all over the vehicle or lick the windows etc…

They just lie down on their beds and either take a nap or chew on a Yak Chew, or Drax will suckle on his Woobie 🤗 Potty breaks are △⃒⃘ℓωαуѕ quick and stress free, and they don’t get upset if their meals are a little off schedule 🥰

Drax did AMAZING on his public access outting today 🤗😍🤗 It was his first time on a public bus and he kept receiving compliments about how well behaved and quiet he was the entire time 🥰

Seeing the incredible progress Drax has made in just the last 5 weeks since coming up to Portland, gives me SO much hope that he can overcome his male dog reactivity with proper training! 🥹

I’m looking forward to transitioning him to a regular comfort harness and hands free leash system (will allow me to use a mobility device and still have a free hand for marking/treats) to continue his training with 🤗

Food is still one of our 2 highest expenses each month, and we are incredibly grateful for any and all support in keeping these pups healthy and happy 🥰🥰🥰

We are so incredibly happy to report that after 22 months at the rescue our sweet Miss Emmee has found her FUREVER family!!!!

Pictured below with her new Dad Tim, Emmee is enjoying being the biggest dog in the home and loves to run the yard with her 4 new fur siblings, and of course she adores snuggling with her new Mama Chris 🥰🤗🥰🤗

While this has been bittersweet for us personally, these happy endings are why we do what we do, and we couldn’t do it without incredible people like Tim & Chris who are willing to give these pups loving furever homes.

Drax started snoring so Emmee quite literally shut his mouth, and while I’m wheezing from laughter Drax must’ve remembered he has a further reach than she does and pulled an Uno Reverse on her 🤣😂🤣😂

I can’t with these two, they’re like an old married couple 🤣😂

Now that Drax isn’t around other reactive dogs he’s able to spend all his free time just hangin out and playin with the girls and getting to witness their bond grow so immensely over this last week has been amazing 🥹🥰🤗

To think this goofball nearly lost his life because he was classified as needing to be the only animal in a home just breaks my heart. But it’s u fortunately the very real reality for DOZENS of dogs every single day in Arizona, let alone the rest of the US.

If you’re looking to add a furry new member to your pack, PLEASE give special consideration to fostering a dogs who’ve been there the longest, dogs with special needs, and senior dogs. They’re the most at risk for euthanasia and they need our help to get out alive and know what it means to feel loved and safe and to be comforted in their final days.

🚨🆘 **URGENT: Desperate Plea to Find Drax His Forever Home!** 🚨🆘

Friends, we need your help! Meet Drax, a 4-year-old Staffy (American Staffordshire Terrier) who urgently needs to find his forever home. This sweet, gentle boy was pulled from the euthanasia list at MCACC in 2022, and since then, he's been patiently waiting for someone to give him the love and care he deserves.

Drax is an absolute gem with his humans, forming deep bonds and showering them with affection. He's a big boy, weighing in at 65lbs, and while he may not realize his own strength, he's as gentle as can be. However, due to his size and strength, a home without small children would be best for him.

Although he can be a bit selective with male dogs his size, Drax gets along famously with female dogs and would thrive in a home where he can have a furry companion to play and snuggle with. He's had a few minor incidents with unfixed male dogs in the past, but never with people – his heart is pure and full of love for his human friends.

Drax has a heart of gold and a few favorite things in life – carrots, watching the sunrise and sunset, and playing with his beloved balls. He's completely crate trained and potty trained, making him an absolute joy to have around the house.

This amazing boy has so much love to give and potential to be a wonderful companion for the right family. He would thrive in a semi-active to active home with low foot traffic, where he can enjoy plenty of quality time with his humans.

But here's the best news – Drax's adoption fee has already been sponsored as one of his birthday gifts yesterday! All he needs now is someone to open their heart and home to him, giving him the chance to really start living and experiencing the love and happiness he so desperately deserves.

So please, help us spread the word and find Drax his forever family. Together, let's give this incredible boy the loving home he's been dreaming of – because every dog deserves a chance at a happy, fulfilling life.

Share his story, reach out to your friends and family, and let's make Drax's dreams come true. Together, we can change his life forever – one paw print at a time.

🐾🌟 **Meet Emmee: The Brave Survivor Searching for Her Forever Home!** 🌟🐾

Reintroducing Miss Emmee, a 2.5-year-old American Boxer with a heart of gold and a spirit that shines brighter than the sun. Despite facing challenges in her young life, Emmee has emerged as a true survivor, ready to shower her future family with love and affection.

Emmee may be a bit timid at first, but her gentle nature and kind soul shine through once she warms up to you. She's dog-friendly and enjoys the company of furry friends, making her the perfect companion for playtime and snuggles.

This resilient girl is not just your average pup – she's a distemper survivor, a testament to her strength and determination. Though she may live with a wobbly gait and muscle tremors, her spirit remains unbroken, radiating joy with every step she takes.

Emmee's favorite pastimes include snuggling up for cuddles and soaking up the sunshine, basking in the warmth of each moment. Her love knows no bounds, and she's eager to share her affection with a family who will cherish her unconditionally.

Rest assured, Emmee is already fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, ready to embark on a new adventure with her forever family. While she may require no special medical care, her adorable wobble – which resembles a twerking kidney bean – is sure to steal your heart and leave you smiling from ear to ear.

And here's the best part – Emmee comes with a very low adoption fee, as our only priority is to find her the loving home she deserves after spending two years in our rescue.

So, if you're ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend who will fill your days with love, laughter, and endless joy, look no further than Emmee. Together, let's give this brave survivor the happily ever after she so rightfully deserves.

Share her story, spread the word, and help us find Emmee her forever family. Because with your help, we can make her dreams of finding a loving home a reality – one paw print at a time.

🐾🏡 **Meet One Of Our Heartwarming Boxers in Need of a Forever Home!** 🏡🐾

Friends, meet our resilient little fighter Rhodey, a 2.5-year-old American Boxer with a spirit as strong as his heart. Despite facing adversity at a young age, this precious pup has overcome every obstacle with boundless courage and a wagging tail that never quits.

This brave boy is not just any ordinary pup; he's a distemper survivor, a testament to his incredible strength and resilience. His journey hasn't been easy, but through it all, he has shown nothing but love and affection for those around him.

Our furry friend is a true snuggle bug at heart, melting even the coldest of hearts with his warm cuddles and gentle kisses. He finds pure joy in simple pleasures like playing in the yard, chasing after balls, and basking in the sunshine.

Despite his past struggles, our little champ requires no special medical care other than the occasional check-up. While he may have a wobbly gait and splayed front legs due to the distemper, his adorable wobble resembles that of a lovable, clumsy penguin – a sight that never fails to bring smiles to our faces.

This sweet boy is already fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, ready to embark on a new chapter of his life with a loving family by his side. And here's the best part – he comes with a very low adoption fee, as our only goal is to ensure he finds his true forever home after spending two years in our rescue.

So, if you're looking to open your heart and home to a furry friend who will fill your days with endless love, laughter, and joy, look no further. Come meet our adorable boxer with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a cuddlebug – because sometimes, the best things come in the most unexpected packages.

Let's give this brave boy the happily ever after he truly deserves. Share his story, spread the word, and help us find his forever family. Together, we can make a difference in the life of one special pup – one paw print at a time. 🐾💖
