Today was Transport Day for 6 LAPP Dogs! 🐾💕

Today, six families are getting ready to welcome their new fur-babies home, and we couldn't be more excited for them! We know how much these families have been looking forward to this day, and there's nothing quite like knowing that a dog who once needed a second chance is about to begin an entirely new chapter surrounded by people who love them. 🏡💕

On today’s transport:
💜 Lolly
💚 Luisa
💙 Rune
🧡 Hayes
🩷 Eloise (sorry, no pics)
💛 Heidi

The first five are headed to Washington and Oregon, and Heidi is heading to New York!

For these six dogs, today marks the beginning of a brand new adventure filled with love, security, companionship, and all the little things that make a house feel like home. We can’t wait to see them settle in with their new families. 🥰

We are so grateful to the adopters who opened their hearts and homes to these deserving dogs, as well as the fosters who helped prepare each of these LAPP Dogs for their future families.

Rescue takes a village, and it truly takes so many wonderful people working together to get dogs from where they are to where they belong. 🫶🏼

We always need more fosters to help out more pups like this. If you live in Austin or surrounding areas and can foster a pup or two, we’d love for you to join our rescue family as a foster:

One of our partnered shelters reached out to see if we could take in this cruelty case pup because he needs more TLC than they can give him at the shelter.

He is 8 months old and only weighs 21 lbs. He has urine scalding burns all over his feet, legs, and stomach. He will need a calm, clean, low traffic area to decompress in and start his healing journey.

Sweetest girl Kiki is also searching for her forever family! 🩷

Unfortunately her adoption fell through before she got to head home because of housing-related issues and the adopter needing to move. With so many places having breed restrictions, we just couldn’t risk that the adopter would possibly choose a rental where Kiki wasn’t allowed to stay with her, and we just couldn’t risk that. Kiki has been through enough shuffling around and deserves a stable environment in her next home.

Now the important stuff! Kiki is goofy, cuddly, silly, affectionate, and is the type of dog that just makes herself comfortable wherever she goes.

Kiki is:
✅ Dog friendly (more of a co-exister, prefers laid back energy like hers over spazzy or nervous dogs)
✅ Would love kids of all ages to cuddle and play with. She is very gentle and was raised with kids in her first home prior to coming into the rescue
✅ Potty trained
✅ Leash trained (and non-reactive on walks!)
✅ Kennel trained, but non-destructive so can be left out

She’s the kind of dog that matches her human’s energy. She is on the lower energy side, but gets short bursts of energy that are easily burned with a quick round of zoomies. She’s great about self-entertaining and is happy to lounge around while you work from home or are busy around the house. She loves going on fun adventures too and never passes up the chance to join her human on an outing.

She would love to have a home with a fenced in yard (no electric fences or tie-outs) so he can run, play, and sunbathe. She really loves spending time with her humans and cuddling up with them every chance she gets, but she doesn’t need your constant attention and can keep herself busy with her toys.

You can find her full bio on our website:

If you’d like to send Kiki a gift from her wishlist while she waits to find her forever family, you can order straight from her wishlist below. ⬇️

Sweet Wally is searching for his forever family and wonders if it could be you! 🩷

Wally is sweet, silly, affectionate, and laid back. And those big squishy jowls are just impossible not to squeeze like some chubby baby cheeks.

Wally is:
✅ Dog friendly (the absolute perfect co-exister)
✅ Would love some older kids to cuddle and play with (his big happy butt may knock over some smaller children, so only kids 10+ in age recommended)
✅ Potty trained
✅ Leash trained (and non-reactive on walks!)
✅ Kennel trained, but non-destructive so can be left out

He’s the kind of dog that matches his human’s energy. So it makes him the perfect pup for someone who works from home or is retired because he’s happy to lounge around while you work or are busy around the home. And the minute you’re ready to go on a leisurely walk or longer hike, he’s happy to go too.

He would love to have a home with a fenced in yard (no electric fences or tie-outs) so he can run, play fetch, and sunbathe. He loves nothing more than spending time with his humans and cuddling up with them every chance he gets, but also is always ready to have some fun too!

You can find his full bio on our website:

❣️ Foster needed for Meatloaf in Austin or surrounding towns within 30 minutes of South Austin❣️

🌟Apply to foster here: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
www.loveandpuppypawsdogrescue.com/become-a-foster

Meatloaf is just a big goofball. He is about 3 years old, 46 pounds, and heartworm-negative. We need a foster to be able to help get him out of the shelter. He was dog-tested today and the shelter said he did great. He is super friendly with humans too!

One of our partnered shelters reached out to see if we could help because they are overcapacity and dogs like him are the first to be put on the EU list.

Oakley had a follow up vet visit at Austin Animal Dermatology with Dr. Bloomer today. She was so surprised at how much he’s improved since the last time she saw him. 🥹

Because of his ischemic dermopathy, Oakley will never be “normal”. He will never grow fur back on his head or tail, and we were thinking he also would be bald on his little feetsies….. But he actually has some fur re-growth on his toes now!

His right ear still is working on healing, but he has made so much progress since we increased his Pentox and Cyclosporine. Although we were hoping to get the thumbs up to reduce the prednisone this visit, Dr. Bloomer is still wanting to see his pinna on the right ear fully heal first. If he doesn’t show much more improvement with that within a month, we’re going to switch off the Easotic and try a stronger steroid cream. But based on how it’s coming along, she’s hopeful that we can get it cleared up with the current meds he’s on.

🎂 Oakley has officially turned 1 years old in our rescue. We got him when he was only 6 weeks old. He is also officially our longest LAPP Dog that has been in our rescue.

We would love to spoil him with some long lasting bones or treats to help him celebrate his birthday. Especially knowing he will be with us at least another 4 months. We made him a wishlist that you can order from if you’d like to send him some gifts.

Welcome our newest LAPP Dog, Kasey Poe, formerly Marill from AAC! 🐾💕 (And yes, she is named after Con Air because it was one of my dad and my favorite movies to watch together when I was growing up)

While I hadn’t intended on tagging another dog to foster myself yet, I saw this cutie on the AAC website and thought “hmm she looks like Laney”. Then Becky sent me more pictures of her and there was no doubt that she had to be Laney’s sister.

And when I met her today, the really solidified that they are sisters because their personalities and squatty, petite little bully bodies are identical! 🥰

Unfortunately I cannot see if they remember each other yet because Kasey has an upper respiratory infection that she got at the shelter. 😔 So she has to be in quarantine for 2-3 weeks until she is no longer contagious.

She has a vet appointment tomorrow so we can start her on antibiotics to hopefully nip the URI in the bud before it gets worse. 🤞🏼 And since she also had loose stools the entire time she was at AAC, we will also be getting a f***l done as well.

So for now, Kasey will be getting cuddles while I’m dressed in full PPE and will be getting lots of enrichment activities to keep her busy while she finishes her quarantine.

We would love to spoil her with some long lasting bones to help keep her busy and some puzzle games, and could use some help stocking up on those. We made her a wishlist that you can order from if you’d like to send her some gifts to help keep her busy and entertained while she’s locked up in the quarantine.

Booker and Kiki say “thank you” to the kind people who sent all of these great items from their wishlists. 🥰

There’s nothing better than seeing our rescue dogs surrounded by so much love and generosity, and these two are pretty lucky to have so many people cheering them on! ❤️

Please know that if you’ve ever sent something from one of our wishlists for our rescue dogs, we are so incredibly grateful for you. Every bag of food, every treat, every toy, and every thoughtful donation makes a difference. Your kindness never goes unnoticed, and your support helps us provide the care, comfort, and second chances these dogs deserve.

Many of the dogs who come into our rescue have already experienced more hardship than they ever should have. Knowing there are people out there who care about them, even before they’ve met them, is such a beautiful reminder of the good in this world. Your generosity helps us continue showing these dogs that their past doesn’t define their future and that they are worthy of love. 🥹💗

From all of us at Love And Puppy Paws Dog Rescue, and especially from Booker and Kiki, thank you for being part of their journey and for helping us make life a little brighter for the dogs who need us most. We couldn’t do this without you! ❤️🐾

❣️ Foster needed for medical pup in Austin or surrounding towns within 30 minutes of South Austin❣️

🌟Apply to foster here: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We need a foster to be able to help get him out of the shelter and get him the medical care he needs.

He likely needs an amputation on his front leg according to the shelter, but we will need to get X-rays done and see if Moontower Veterinary Surgery Center can save his leg.

He is also heartworm positive, so he will need to go through heartworm treatments and needs a medical foster that can commit to fostering him for at least 4-5 months.

Notes from shelter volunteer that has been working with him:

🔹He's got no real "red flags" that I can see. Appears HT, affectionate, likes men and women, non-reactive to other dogs. He does a cute little whine when he sees you but I've never heard him bark. I had him in the catch pen today and another dog (a big male shepherd) came right up to the fence and Spud just walked over and wagged his tail, so I definitely think he has potential to live well with other dogs. 🔹

Love And Puppy Paws Dog Rescue covers 100% of medical care and provides guidance, supplies, and support throughout the entire fostering process. You won't be doing this alone as we'll be with you every step of the way.

Now that Kiki is cleared for adoption, she is officially starting the search for her forever family. 🩷

Christy Shoop Croix, a talented Texas artist who has a big heart for shelter and rescue dogs, painted this beautiful picture of Kiki. 🐶🎨The painting will be going home with Kiki to whoever her lucky adopter turns out to be, giving her family a special keepsake to remember her journey and the person she was before she became theirs.

When I first saw the painting, I absolutely broke down crying because I love it so much. 🥹❤️ Christy captured Kiki's gentle eyes and that unmistakable, adoring stare she gives you when she truly loves someone. It's the look that makes you feel like you're the most special person in the world, and anyone who has ever loved a dog like Kiki knows exactly what I'm talking about. What makes the painting even more meaningful is knowing that Christy saw what we see in Kiki.

She saw the sweetness, the tenderness, and the beautiful soul behind those eyes. She captured something that goes beyond what Kiki looks like on the outside. She captured a little piece of who Kiki is. And knowing that someone else recognized and appreciated that same beauty is such a special thing. ❤️

Bully breeds get such a bad reputation from people who have never taken the time to know one, look past the stereotypes, or give them a chance. Too often, dogs like Kiki are judged by their appearance before anyone ever gets to experience their affection, their loyalty, their goofy personalities, or the way they lean into you when all they want is to be close to someone they love.

But those of us who know and love these dogs see something entirely different. We see the soft eyes, the happy wiggles, the full-body cuddles, and the enormous hearts that seem to have an endless supply of love to give. We see dogs who want nothing more than to feel safe, belong to someone, and be loved for exactly who they are. Kiki is such a beautiful reminder of that. 🩷

Her painting will be a little reminder of all of this when she finally settles into her forever home. A reminder that she was seen, that she was loved, and that someone took the time to recognize the beauty in her long before her forever family came along.

Now, it's time for Kiki's next chapter. We hope her future family will see those same gentle eyes, fall in love with that sweet, adoring face, and discover all the wonderful things about her that we already know and love.

Kiki's forever family is out there, and we can't wait for the day she gets to go home for good. Until then, we'll keep cheering her on and hoping the right person finds her. Because this girl deserves nothing less than a lifetime of love, safety, and all the happy endings. 🩷🐾
