Story
Meet Luke – Our Senior Sweetheart! 🐾 Luke may have a salt-and-pepper face, but his heart is pure gold. This gentle 10-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog has made the long trip from out of state in hopes of finally finding a soft spot to land — a calm, loving home where he can kick back, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy his golden years in peace. Luke is all about the simple things: quiet strolls, cozy naps, and the occasional belly rub (okay, frequent belly rubs). He’s got that wise old soul energy that makes you instantly feel at ease in his presence. Whether he's lounging by your feet or giving you those big, soulful eyes, Luke has a way of making every moment feel special. After spending far too long in the shelter system, Luke is more than ready to leave kennel life behind and trade it for the comforts of home — maybe yours? If you're looking for a loyal companion who’s low-key, loving, and full of heart, Luke might just be your perfect match. Let’s give this senior the golden retirement he deserves. 💛

Story
💔 Rown’s Story: From the Streets to Safety 💔 When Rown was found wandering the streets, he was in heartbreaking condition. Starving and desperate, he had resorted to eating stones and screws—his only option for survival. This led to an emergency surgery to clear his stomach, and as if that wasn’t enough, Rown was also suffering from a painful leg injury, likely from the harsh reality of life outside. Thanks to swift veterinary care and the compassion of our community, Rown has undergone both stomach and leg surgeries and is now on the road to recovery. 💪🐾 This brave boy has already endured more than most dogs ever should—but he’s safe now, and healing. Stay tuned for updates as Rown continues his journey. 💛 #RescueStory #RownStrong #FromStreetToSweetLife #BorderTailsRescue

Story
Ashley’s story is one of survival and second chances. She came to us from Korea, where she was rescued from the meat market, and now she’s looking for the loving family she’s always deserved. Understandably, Ashley is a bit nervous after everything she’s been through. She’ll need a patient home where she can take her time to feel safe and learn what it means to be loved. A confident dog companion would be the perfect role model to help her come out of her shell and start enjoying the simple joys of being a dog. Though she’s still learning to trust, Ashley has so much love waiting to be discovered. With patience, kindness, and stability, she will blossom into a loyal, devoted companion who will never let you forget the gift of rescue.
