Jessie in Foster

Jessie: A First-Time Foster Experience

Fostering a rescue dog is about much more than just taking a dog into your home. It's about teaching a rescue dog how to live in a home. Some dogs' situations are more challenging than others, especially the ones who have spent most of or their entire lives living outdoors--in the backyard or in breeding kennels. And then there are other dogs who just leap into your arms and are ready to adjust to and learn everything. Jessie is the latter.
Pippa, Emma and Aster

Our Girls: Once, Twice, Three Times the Ladies

Pippa came ... with incredibly advanced heartworm disease. But then she conquered ... with an incredible spirit. Now she's brought two more beautiful girls into the pack.
Lunchtime with Nicki

Lunchtime with Nicki

Just a little fun with Nicki. He is actually a perfect gentleman, especially once he gets to know and trusts a person. Now that Rocket has been adopted, who knows what may be in store for our other fear-aggressive boy. Miracles DO happen.
Candy adoption day

Candy Goes Home

Candy was an immediate hit when she arrived at rescue a few weeks ago. No surprise there, given what an affectionate little puddin’ pop she is! Everyone is always looking for “shorties,” and this little girl couldn’t be “shorter” (and sweeter) if she wanted to.
Jax on adoption day

Jax Goes Home

This may be the most amazing weekend ever! Fosters, fosters, adopters, adopters, everywhere ... for us, at least. That meant 3-4 for other rescues' 30-40. ;) But we'll take those small but huge victories.
Rosie on adoption day

Rosie Goes Home

We mentioned in an update last night that Rosie (now known as Ingrid) has found her forever home! Her mom, Annie Harris, picked her up from rescue a couple of weeks ago to foster her through spay/vetting and help us get her ready for adoption. She immediately hit it off with the family (including her two canine siblings) and the rest was history. Go, baby, go go!

Cobb and Carson

Cobb: When a Rescue Dog Rescues Another

Mike and Lily Goldstein gave Carson his forever home in 2013--and have given more to rescue than we can ever thank them and their family enough for. With Carson's approval, they became fosters for Cobb a few months ago. And now? We are thrilled to announce Cobb has joined the family permanently!
