Jackson was surrendered for being “too active.” 💔 But at only one year old, Jackson is still a young pup with energy, curiosity, and a whole world he wants to explore.

Some dogs are perfectly content snoozing most of the day, while others were made to play, explore, go on adventures, and stay busy. Jackson is one of those boys. 🐾 He just needs a family who understands that his energy isn’t something wrong with him, it’s part of who he is.

We’re looking for a home that will play with Jackson when he wants to play, take him along on adventures, give him the activity and enrichment he needs, and then let him curl up beside them when it’s finally time to relax.

Most of all, Jackson deserves a family who will love him for the rest of his life, through every energetic day and every quiet one.

This is one of those posts that is especially heartbreaking to write. 💔

Today, at 8 years old, Indy was surrendered to the shelter. The reason given was that her family didn’t have enough time for her.

And now this sweet girl, who has spent eight years knowing what it feels like to live in a home, has suddenly found herself in a kennel.

She doesn’t understand why everything familiar is gone. She doesn’t know why she isn’t going home tonight. She only knows that the people and the life she knew are no longer there.

Dogs ask us for so little. A warm place to sleep. Food in their bowl. A little attention. A gentle hand on their head. And most of all, someone who will love them and make them part of their life.

Indy deserves that.

At eight years old, she should be spending her days curled up somewhere comfortable, following her person from room to room, taking naps in the sunshine and knowing that she is safe and loved. She shouldn’t be starting over behind kennel doors. 🥺

Indy has lived in a home with other dogs, so she is accustomed to having canine companions. She still has so much love left to give, and we are hoping someone sees this beautiful girl and realizes that eight years old isn’t too old to begin the best chapter of her life.

Please don’t let the shelter become Indy’s new normal.

Somewhere out there is a soft bed, a loving family and someone who has enough room in their heart to show Indy that this time, she really is home forever. 🏡❤️

🙏 Please share Indy. Her forever family may be one share away from seeing her.

Just look at that little smile. 🥹❤️

Espresso has quickly become a favorite of one of the shelter employees, who has taken this sweet girl under his wing and absolutely adores her. He says she is the sweetest little thing, and when you see that precious smile on her face, it’s pretty easy to understand why. 🤎

There’s something extra special about a dog who captures the heart of someone who spends every day caring for so many shelter animals. Espresso has done exactly that.

This sweet girl was found as a stray, and now she’s waiting for someone to see her the way the people caring for her do , as a loving, deserving girl who belongs in a home and as part of a family.

And that smile… 🥹 It’s the kind of smile that makes you smile right back. We can only imagine how much bigger it will be when Espresso realizes she has finally been chosen.

She already has someone at the shelter rooting for her and loving her while she waits. Now she just needs one family to walk through those doors, see that sweet little smile, and fall in love. ☕🤎

Two months. That’s how long our sweet country boy Cody has been waiting at the shelter for someone to finally choose him. 💔

Cody came in as a stray, and when no one came to bring him home, he began waiting for a brand-new family. Days have turned into weeks, and weeks into months, but this sweet boy is still here.

And Cody is such a good boy. 🥺 He is loving, sweet, and ready for so much more than life inside a kennel. As an Australian Cattle Dog mix, Cody is a young boy who is ready to work, learn, explore, and have a job to do. Whether that means adventures, helping around the property, going for walks, riding along in the truck, or simply being your loyal sidekick, Cody is ready to be part of a family.

He’s only one year old. He shouldn’t be spending these important months growing up behind kennel doors. He deserves room to run, a family to bond with, and someone who will give all that love and loyalty somewhere to go. 🖤

🌾 Cody has already waited two months. Please don’t make him wait another.

If you’ve been looking for a sweet, handsome country boy who is ready to become your best friend, please come meet Cody. His family could be out there, they may just need to see his face one more time.

💕 THE HAPPIEST UPDATE , MAMA GEORGIA ( now Princess ) HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 💕

As we shared the other day, Mama Georgia and her puppies were surrendered to the shelter, and we worked so hard to get this little family seen.

Today, I get to share the update we were all hoping for. 🥹❤️

Every single one of Georgia’s babies has been adopted , including the babies who found homes before we even shared their story and now Mama Georgia has found her forever home too! 🏡🐾

Georgia is now named Princess, and from the sounds of it, that name couldn’t be more perfect for her. 👑💕

Her new family says she is adjusting wonderfully. She is incredibly sweet and loving, and most importantly… she is already SO spoiled.

After being such a good mama and watching her babies find their families, it was finally Princess’s turn to be chosen.

I am so incredibly thankful for every person who chooses to adopt from a shelter or rescue. Shelters and rescues everywhere are bursting at the seams, and every adoption truly does make a difference. When you adopt, you aren’t only changing the life of the animal you bring home , you’re also opening up a space for another animal who desperately needs it.

And to everyone who shared, commented, tagged friends, and helped this family be seen, THANK YOU. ❤️ You may never know which share reaches the person who ultimately says, “That’s the one. I want to bring them home.”

And finally, the biggest thank you to Princess’s new family for choosing her and giving this sweet mama the life she deserves. 🥹🐾 Thank you for the amazing photos you sent of Princess

Princess, your days of wondering what comes next are over.

Now you get to be spoiled.
You get to be loved.
You get to be someone’s baby. ❤️

Have the most amazing life, sweet girl. You earned your happily ever after. 👑

Just look at that little face. 🥺

Benny Blue is only 3 months old, and somehow this tiny baby has already found himself at the shelter after being found as a stray. At an age when his biggest worries should be toys, treats, and whose lap he’s going to fall asleep in, Benny Blue is waiting for someone to give him the security and love every puppy deserves.

Those beautiful eyes and that sweet little face are impossible not to fall in love with. He needs a family who will make sure he never has to wander again, never has to wonder where he belongs, and never has to feel left behind.

Benny Blue has his entire life ahead of him. Let’s make sure the rest of his story is filled with warm beds, adventures, belly rubs, and a family who chooses him forever. 🩵

Just look at that sweet face. 🥺Peyton is an absolutely adorable girl who was owner surrendered, and now she’s waiting for someone to give her the kind of forever home every dog deserves.

Peyton is a beautiful, fluffy girl who could use a little extra TLC. She deserves a family who will keep her groomed, cared for, and loved every single day, not just when it’s convenient. With some good brushing, proper care, and plenty of love, we can only imagine how beautiful this girl will blossom. ✨

More than anything, Peyton deserves to know what it feels like to be truly cherished and to never have to wonder where she belongs again. She has such a sweet face and an entire life ahead of her.

Please share Peyton and help us find the person who will look at this precious girl and know she’s worth the commitment.

Bruno was almost surrendered today, and now this handsome boy is hoping his unexpected stay at the shelter will lead him to the forever home he deserves. 🥺

If you know Boxers, you know they are some of the sweetest, funniest little characters around, and just look at that face! Bruno has so much personality packed into those big brown eyes and adorable squishy cheeks.

At only 2 years old, Bruno has his whole life ahead of him. He deserves the chance to be someone’s best friend, to have a home where he is loved and included, and to show a family just how special he can be.

Please give Bruno a chance. Sometimes the dog you weren’t planning on meeting ends up being the one you can’t imagine living without.
