Saturday has officially started, and the squad is already taking their jobs very seriously: being cute and doing absolutely nothing productive 🐶💖

08/20/2026

𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗔 🐾🤍

Nana is a sweet 2-year-old girl who was found roaming the streets of Kfarshima after being dumped and left to fend for herself. 💔

Thankfully, she’s safe with us now, but she still needs something she’s never had for long enough — a family to call her own. 🥺🏡

Despite being abandoned, Nana remains a happy, loving girl. She’s also good with other dogs and would make a wonderful companion for a family looking to add some extra love to their home. 🐶🤍

Nana didn’t choose the streets, and she certainly didn’t deserve to be left there. She deserves a family who will see her as a lifelong commitment, not something they can simply walk away from. ❤️

Could you be the one to give Nana the forever home she’s waiting for? 🐾✨

💔 Hunter was rescued off the streets of Jbeil after a brutal attempt on his life, shot point-blank in the face, yet still wandering and calling out to anyone for help.

🏥 He was rushed to the vet, stabilized, and despite the unimaginable pain, this brave warrior fought to stay alive.

🩹 Though the attack permanently cost him his vision and required the surgical removal of both eyes, his spirit remained unbroken.

🏠 Hunter has been at the shelter for a couple of years now, waiting patiently for his second chance. A previous adoption attempt unfortunately fell through, but this sweet, resilient boy hasn’t lost his love for people.

❤️ He continues to fill the shelter with warmth, remaining as loving and trusting as ever while he waits for the forever home he so deeply deserves.

✨ Hunter’s story isn’t over yet, his true family is still out there.

📢 Please share his post to help us find Hunter his forever home!

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗨𝗘 🚨

💔 HE COULDN’T EVEN MOVE

At just 2.5 months old, this tiny boy was struck by a car and left helpless on the side of the road, frightened, in unimaginable pain, and unable to stand 🥺

🏥 We rushed him to the vet, where X-rays confirmed a broken back leg, a fractured pelvis, and a severe leg infection. Because he is so young and fragile, it is still too soon for surgery. His little body needs time to stabilize first

💊 Right now, we are managing his care with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and heavy pain relief while his leg infection clears up. He is only a baby who should be running, playing, and discovering the world, but instead, he is fighting to survive injuries he never should have suffered 💔

❤️ His recovery will take time, but he deserves the chance to heal, run, and finally know what it feels like to be safe. Please help us give this little boy the future he deserves

🐺 Huskies are undeniable head-turners, but they are one of the most misunderstood breeds out there. 💔

Bought for their wolf-like beauty, far too many end up abandoned when reality sets in:

• 🏃‍♂️ Relentless Drive & “Stubbornness”: They aren’t stubborn, they’re independent working dogs bred for endless endurance. Without intense daily exercise, they quickly become bored, destructive escape artists.

• 🧹 Heavy Shedding: Their double coat blows out heavily, requiring constant grooming and maintenance.

• ❤️ Huge Responsibility: A husky isn’t a couch potato or a backyard accessory. They demand a serious commitment of time, energy, and patience.

When people buy the look without preparing for the lifestyle, the dogs pay the ultimate price, left to survive on the streets. 💔

🐾 Meet Aroha & Xaden

Their stories show the heartbreaking reality of what happens when these dogs are cast aside, but also their incredible resilience:

• 🤍 Aroha: A 6-year-old white female rescued from Amchit. She is blind in one eye and Leishmania positive, but remains deeply gentle and strong.

• 🖤 Xaden: A 7-year-old survivor rescued from Akkar after being shot. He is currently undergoing tests for potential epilepsy, yet he keeps fighting every single day.

🐺 Huskies are a lifelong promise, not a trend. Aroha and Xaden have survived the worst, now they need dedicated, experienced caregivers who truly understand this breed.

🙏 Adopt, foster, or donate to support their medical care today.

🐾 Three years ago, tiny 2.5-month-old Arno came to us in critical condition. He was suffering from a severe feline herpes virus infection that severely threatened his sight, along with a heavy flea and tick infestation on his frail body. 🥺

His survival was far from guaranteed, and we fought tirelessly alongside his veterinary team to give him the fighting chance he deserved. ❤️‍🩹

Thanks to dedicated medical care, proper treatment, and his own incredible strength, sweet Arno pulled through! 🥹 While he ultimately lost vision in one eye, his remaining eye was saved, and he adjusted seamlessly. ✨

Today, Arno is a healthy, thriving 3-year-old boy who doesn’t let being blind in one eye slow him down for a second. 🐱💛

Arno is full of love, resilience, and sweet affection. 🫶 After everything he has overcome, he is officially ready for the most important chapter of his life yet: finding a loving, safe forever home. 🏡🤍

If you are ready to open your heart and home to a true survivor, please reach out to submit an adoption application or share Arno’s story to help him find his family! 🐾✨

Toby is a sweet 1-year-old Labrador who was found wandering the streets of Araya, with no family to call his own. 💔

Thankfully, he was rescued and brought to safety. And despite everything he’s been through, Toby is nothing but calm, gentle, and incredibly sweet. 🥹🤍

He’s friendly with other dogs and simply loves being around people. 🐶✨ All Toby needs now is a family who will give him the love, safety, and stability he deserves.

He’s already waited long enough for someone to choose him. 🏡🤍

Could you be Toby’s forever family? 🐾❤️
