Story

A Letter to Santa from a Little Queensland Heeler Dear Santa… it’s me, your speedy May baby. Dear Santa, Hi!! It’s me — the Queensland Heeler pup who was born in May, the one who zooms everywhere, wiggles constantly, and thinks life is one big adventure. I know you’re busy… but I REALLY hope you read my letter because I have a super important Christmas wish. Santa, I want a home. I want a home where my energy isn’t “too much,” but instead just right.A home where someone gets excited about my zoomies, teaches me fun things, and helps me use this big brain and even bigger heart I have. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m kinda amazing.I learn fast, I’m athletic, I’m fun, and I love being included in everything. I just need the right family — the kind who will play, explore, train, and love me like I’m their little adventure buddy. When I imagine Christmas morning, I don’t dream about toys (okay fine, maybe a squeaky ball…).I dream about curling up after a long day of playing… right next to MY person.Someone who will look at me and say,"That’s my girl. She’s perfect just the way she is.” So Santa, if you can… could you help me find that family?One that sees my energy as joy, my curiosity as brilliance, and my heart as something worth loving forever? I’d give them everything I’ve got — and trust me, I’ve got a LOT to give. With hope and wiggles,Your little Heeler girl ##2593890##

Rudolph – Dear Santa, From Your Littlest Reindeer-in-Training Dear Santa,My name is Rudolph, but I’m only 6 weeks old… so my antlers haven’t grown in yet. I’m a Rottie/Beagle baby with a big heart and tiny paws that prance just like a reindeer. I’ve been a very good boy — I nibble gently, snuggle often, and make my sisters laugh. All I want for Christmas is a family to love me forever. I promise to brighten their days — even without a glowing nose!Love,Rudolph ##2590497##

Story

Dear Santa, My name is Charlie, and I’ve been trying very hard to be a good boy this year. My foster mom says I am one — and I’m finally starting to believe her. Santa, I’ve been waiting patiently for almost a year for my forever family. It hasn’t been easy. I didn’t have the best start in life, and learning to trust has taken me some time. But with Lucky Paws Rescue and my foster families helping me, I’ve grown braver, happier, and more hopeful. I’ve learned so much: I sleep through the night like a champ I get along great with dogs, cats, and even chickens I’m potty trained I love toys, treats, and exploring outside And I’m the best couch snuggler once I feel safe I’m still nervous about leashes and being held, but I’m trying every day. I just need a patient, kind human who will love me while I keep learning. So Santa… my Christmas wish is simple: Please help me find my forever home. I promise I’ll give them all the love I’ve been saving up this whole year. Love,Charlie ##2270697##

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dear Santa, My name is Ivy, and I’ve been trying so, so hard to be a good girl this year. I’m sweet, loving, gentle, and full of all the cuddles a pup can give. I’ve been practicing my lap-sitting, my chin-scratch smiles, and my tail-wag greetings — I think I’m getting pretty good at them. But Santa… I have to be honest.I’ve had kind of a tough start. I’ve been returned twice, and both times it wasn’t because I did anything wrong. The first home had another dog who didn’t like my puppy energy, and the second time my adopter moved into a tiny home and couldn’t take me or my sister. I didn’t understand, but Lucky Paws hugged me tight and told me it wasn’t my fault. Santa, I’ve been waiting so patiently for my forever family — the one who will love me for real, for good. So this Christmas, I have one special wish: Please help me find my forever home. I promise I’ll be the sweetest girl — gentle, cuddly, playful, and full of sparkle. I just need someone who’s ready for a puppy with a big heart and lots of love to give. Thank you for listening, Santa.Love,Ivy P.S. I’m fostering in Sumter, SC — and I’m really hoping the third time’s the charm. ##2404840##
