Story
Penelope—affectionately known as Peepee—is a sweet but sassy little girl who has come a long way from her feral beginnings. She’s discovered the comforts of indoor life and has fully embraced them, especially when it comes to blankets. Penelope loves to curl up on the couch and will happily spend hours snuggled nearby. While she’s still learning to trust human touch, Penelope does best with patience and compassion. She prefers to lie close to her person rather than be petted, and she’ll let you know when she’s feeling overwhelmed. Her confidence continues to grow at her own pace, and with time, her comfort around people keeps improving. Penelope has a playful side too—she loves squeaky toys, though she’s a bit bashful about it. Don’t be surprised if you only hear her playing once you’ve left the room. She will make her opinions known, however. If her water bowl is empty, dinner is late, or another dog is misbehaving, her adorable grumbly barks will quickly get your attention. She’s making great progress learning to walk on a leash, but she’s just as happy sunbathing or quietly observing the world from a distance. Penelope will need continued support to become comfortable with grooming and vet visits. She has a lovely, gentle temperament and gets along well with dogs of all sizes and sexes—she currently lives with a pack of five Cane Corsos. Though shy around strangers, she does not bark or bite to communicate. And with her signature Dobby ears and panda eyes, Penelope has a way of stealing hearts without even trying. Penelope is looking for a calm, understanding home that will allow her to continue blossoming at her own pace. 💛

Story
Meet Belinda 🩷 | Foster Needed Belinda is a petite, young pup who came to us from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. She had been confined in a small, filthy outdoor pen with little to no access to clean water, food, or meaningful interaction with people or other dogs. She lived surrounded by waste, without ever being given the chance to truly live. When we rescued Belinda, she was scared but never aggressive—just desperate to escape the life she’d known. Since arriving at our boarding partner, she’s already begun to show signs of hope and progress. While still nervous, she follows her human friends with quiet curiosity, watching their every move and slowly realizing she might finally be safe. Because of her isolated past, Belinda can be unsure around other dogs and may act defensively at first. But if they respect her space, she learns to trust—and often ends up following them around, using their confidence as a guide to navigate this new world. Belinda is ready for her next big step: a foster home. Boarding has given her safety and structure, but nothing compares to the healing that happens in a real home. A foster environment will help her grow in ways that boarding simply can’t—and it will give her the best chance at finding her forever family. Belinda just needs someone patient, kind, and willing to show her that the world isn’t so scary after all. Could that be you?

Story
Meet Joey 💛 Joey didn’t grow up knowing the comforts of home. Left to survive on his own for years, he learned to be cautious — and for good reason. But Joey is proving that even after a hard start, growth is possible. In the last few months, we’ve watched him begin to open up. He’s curiously interested in people now, choosing to come closer, allowing gentle pets, and showing us that he wants to connect — he just needs a little time. Joey is around 35–40 lbs and estimated to be 6–8 years old. He finds confidence in other dogs and would do best with a calm, steady canine companion to help show him the ropes. Recently, Joey began an in-home board and train program where he’s gaining real experience living inside a home — learning routines, building trust, and discovering what it means to relax in a safe environment. We are so excited for this next chapter for him. But here’s what Joey will need next: When his training is complete, he will need a foster home to continue that progress. We do not want him returning to traditional boarding after he’s worked so hard to adjust to home life. Joey needs a patient, understanding foster willing to give him time, space, and consistency. A secure fenced yard would be ideal, and a confident resident dog would be a huge bonus. This sweet boy has already come so far. Now he just needs someone willing to help him keep going. Could you be the soft landing Joey is waiting for? 💛 If you’d like, I can: Make a shorter “urgent foster needed” version Make it more emotionally compelling Or make it more practical/clear about what fostering Joey would look like day-to-day.
