... Read morePetunia’s journey as a foster dog highlights the importance of pet adoption and rescue efforts. Many dogs like her, often misunderstood, are waiting for their forever homes. Rescue organizations play a critical role in rehabilitating these pets and preparing them for adoption. If you’re considering adopting a dog, it's essential to educate yourself about ongoing care, training, and the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. Resources like ‘Adopt, Don’t Shop’ emphasize the importance of adopting pets from shelters rather than buying them from stores or breeders. By adopting, you can provide a loving home to a dog that has faced challenges, helping to change their life trajectory. Join the movement to support pet adoption and make a difference in animals' lives like Petunia. Share your experiences, and encourage others to consider adopting as their first option. Connecting with local rescue groups, volunteering, or fostering can significantly impact the outcomes for many pets. Let's work together to ensure that every dog finds a loving home.

Things we do to keep our foster dogs safe
We do our best to prevent situations where a dog can be triggered. We’ve learned these things along the way, and they really do help them to not get stressed. 🐶 🐾 #fosterdog #fosterdogs #adoptdontshop #dogs #rescuedog

Meet Pugsley (our latest foster fail)
Pugsley (formerly Zephyr) came to us so shutdown and afraid of human contact. After many hours/days of sitting across from him, he started to get curious and learned to love cuddles! I couldn’t imagine making him start over somewhere new, so we knew he was going to be our early Christmas present. P

Back in January someone hit me and ran (They darted through a red light and hit me). My car spinned out of control and was totaled but fortunately I was okay, just minor aches and pains that I got treated with medicine and therapy. I followed through with the police and got a lawyer. I’m a little t
