𝗣𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧!

Our sweet Bert may start off a little shy, but once he warms up… he’s a total lovebug! He’s got a soft spot for humans and would absolutely thrive with a playful dog buddy to show him the ropes.

If your pup needs a new best friend, Bert just might be your guy!

Happy Tails Update: Tess Is Loving Her Forever Home! 🐾

We’re thrilled to share some pawsitively heartwarming news about Tess!

After a bit of a wait to find just the right fit, this smart, sweet girl is now living her best life with Katy and Bob. From supervising in the kitchen to napping in the recliner, Tess is clearly settling in with style.

She’s staying active with daily mile-long walks, fetch in the backyard (orange bone included), and even has a new snuffle mat to challenge that brilliant brain of hers.

Katy and Bob shared these sweet updates and photos, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this happy ending.

Thank you to everyone who rooted for Tess along the way. Some journeys take a little longer—but they’re worth every step. ❤️❤️❤️

EASTON UPDATE!

Our sweet Easton is doing great !

A huge shoutout to his amazing foster, Beverly — a repeat foster and dedicated PAW Alliance volunteer who always goes above and beyond for our pups. We’re so grateful for her heart and commitment.

Easton is now thriving in his class, and we can’t wait to share more of his journey with you!

We recently received the happiest update from Beau's new family, and our hearts can barely handle the cuteness! This sweet boy is thriving in his forever home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care he’s receiving. Here’s what his family had to share:

"Beau, who we've decided to call Bowie, has been settling in really well. He’s sweet, goofy, and getting more confident every day. We’re not really having any accidents and he's doing so much better in his crate, which was a bit of a concern when we first brought him home. So far we've discovered that he loves sitting in the bay window and watching the neighborhood, he sleeps on his back with his arms sticking straight up like a zombie, and he is a brave protector (he defends us from the hair dryer and vacuums)! Him and Echo have fallen into a sweet, playful routine and he looooves the backyard. We feel so lucky he is ours!"
