Meet Percy, named after the legendary Percy Jackson and he’s our little hero! 🔥

This sweet pup came to MHLRM as part of an oopsie litter surrendered in AL. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he had something special about him 🌟 He explores the backyard like it’s his own personal Camp Half-Blood, tracks down squeaky toys with the focus of a demigod on a quest & greets every single moment with the kind of wonder that makes you smile.

Percy is a doodle mix (though breed isn’t guaranteed 🤷🏼‍♀️he’s a beautiful blend of many things, just like the best stories always are). He’s great with other dogs, gentle enough for kind & respectful kiddos! He’s looking for an active family to adventure & write his life chapters with. He’s still too little for leash walks, but he more than makes up for it in cuddles & backyard adventures. We follow a No Paws on the Ground protocol for our young puppies to keep them safe until they’re fully vaccinated, so a secure yard and lots of snuggles are a must for now 🙂

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to open your home and heart, consider this it. Percy isn’t just looking for a family, he’s ready to become the hero of yours. 🐾

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Percy, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Pup of the Day: Rawly 2 month old.
Born to a feral mama (nothing feral about this guy, except the puppy teeth 🦈) 🤣 in rural TX, this little guy made his way to CO & he’s ready to find his forever home!

Rawly is ALL puppy. Goofy, curious, affectionate, & completely impossible not to love! He brings joyful energy everywhere he goes & when he looks up at you with those soft eyes first thing in the morning…You’re done 💀

He loves his people deeply, always close by, never turning down a belly rub & ready for every snuggle he can get!

Other dogs? His absolute favorite! He spends his days wrestling & zooming with his foster sister & follows his foster’s older dog around with non stop kisses. Rawly is 🐈 friendly, being very gentle with his feline friends. He’s definitely curious and playful, but always respectful.

He’s settling beautifully into his crate routine, sleeping through the night & making good steady progress with potty training. He’s smart, responds well to consistency & is growing more confident every day!

Rawly came into this world with a wild start, but he’s nothing but sweet, bright & full of ❤️ He deserves a home that matches his energy, one full of laughter, patience & maybe another furry friend to call his own.

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Rawly, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Pup of the Day: Callie 7 months old.

This girl has a ♥️ as big as Texas & a story that’ll make you feel all the feels. Callie spent her early days surviving on the streets, finding safety & comfort in a little street family of four other dogs all with different backgrounds, but bonded life a true family! Thanks to a kind soul who faithfully fed & cared for Callie & her family, every one of those dogs was given the chance at a new life. MHLRM IS lucky enough to bring Callie into ours!

Callie is as sweet as they come! Gentle & tender, she’s still a little shy at first, but she’s learning every day that good people can be trusted! In her foster home she’s been blossoming with more tail wags, leaning in a little closer & loving every pet she gets. Small steps are BIG wins when you’ve been out on the streets! ⭐️

Does your dog need a dog? Callie is social, respectful & happiest when she has doggie friends by her side. A home with another friendly dog would be ideal! Sharing toys, cuddle & zoomies please!! 🐶

Smart & eager to please, Callie will repay you with loyalty, gratitude & the kind of love that feels extra special because you truly earned it.

A couple of things to keep in mind: Callie hasn’t been on a leash yet, so that’ll be a brand new adventure for her. She’ll need a patience and some time to get comfortable 🦮 She’s currently in a home with yard access and absolutely loves having the space to romp around with her foster siblings!

Callie is a perfect mix of playful when it’s time to play & happy to wind down when it’s chill time. Daily walks & some playtime will keep her content. She’s really just the best girl!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Callie, please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! 🇺🇸
Thought we’d start it off with a happy ending but also a hard truth in rescue!

This is the story of how Pearlie & her pup Dicie became MHLRM pups!

Pearlie was dumped in a cemetery in Arkansas SUPER pregnant. A local rescue found her & got her into a foster home, where she gave birth the very next day to 6 beautiful puppies. 💛

Five of those healthy “highly adoptable” pups were quickly claimed by a rescue up north. But Pearlie & her one remaining puppy, little Dicie, were left behind. Dicie was suspected to be deaf at just 8 weeks old, and Pearlie needed to be tested for heart-worm, all too common of a disease in dogs, although easily preventable! For most rescues, that combination of time & expense is just too much, and they’re not wrong. The average cost to treat a heart-worm positive dog is $850 😳 along with months of recovery.

MHLRM took both girls without hesitating- they needed a chance & that’s what rescues are supposed to do, offer a 2nd chance! 🐶

Dicie has since been confirmed completely deaf, and Pearlie just got spayed & tested. Happy to report she is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE! 🎉

Baby Dicie arrived in CO yesterday & straight to her family! Mama Pearlie will be making the trip to Colorado in two weeks (get your applications approved) ✅

Welcome to your new life, sweet girls 🌟

Please consider supporting our mission through the link in our profile. Lots of 2nd chance pups out there you can help!

Pup of the Day: Louie 2. 5 mo this old. This little chocolate dream came a long way to find his people! From rural AR ➡️ fostered in Texas ➡️ Colorado in search of his forever home!

Louie is equal parts snuggle bug & party! 🎉 He’ll have you laughing one minute and melting into a puddle the next. Treats? He’s in. Praise and belly rubs? Even better. He’s already mastered “sit,” is rocking crate life like a champ, and is about 75.3929% potty trained 🎓

A social butterfly with the best manners! His foster siblings set boundaries, Louie reads the room, rolls over & moves on like the smart little guy he is. 😇 He follows them around, drops toys at their feet, and basically just wants to be everyone’s best friend.

Louie would thrive with a family who’s ready for puppy shenanigans! A secure yard for zoomies, kids who want to love on him and teach him all the things, and maybe another dog to be his partner in crime. 🏡

A quick note for future adopters: Louie is a lab mix, while he looks chocolate, his siblings all look different, and his rescue does not guarantee breed. Also, as a partially vaccinated pup, he’s currently on NPOG (No Paws on the Ground) protocol, so public walks are on hold, but cozy carries and backyard adventures? Absolutely on the table. 🐶

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Louie , please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Pup of the Day: Bowzer 8 months old. Meet our boy Bowzer, a chocolate Lab mix who just made the glow-up move from TX to CO ✨ Good news, he’a on the hunt for his forever person!

Dumped in TX, this sweet boy is ready to trade in the past for mountain adventures & q lifetime of couch snuggles! 🛋️

SUPER snuggly & sweet, Bowzer is a little shy at first but warms up fast & loves HARD. 🐾 He’s great with other dogs, playful with younger pups, respectful of seniors & even lives with a cat who he basically ignores, meow🐱

He’s also been an absolute sweetheart with every kid he’s met, gentle, not too jumpy, a total lover boy.🐶

He’s potty trained, sleeps through the night in his crate & is honestly the world’s best passenger🚗 beep beep!

Fair warning… he’s a smarty pants who has figured out how to bust out of regular crates… Think of it less as an escape artist problem, more proof you’re adopting a genius🤷🏼‍♀️

On walks he gets a little distracted by all the sights & smells, He recently walked perfectly on leash with a 10 yr old, even handled a full PetSmart trip like a seasoned pro, sitting politely at checkout without a single bark!

When he’s not adventuring, you’ll find him wrestling with his foster sister, chewing his favorite toys, then napping on the couch or right at your feet like the good boy he is. He does best with humans who are home often and ready to keep his training going, he’s just a baby!

If you are already an approved adopter and want to meet or adopt Bowzer , please contact your adoption coordinator. Or you can fill out an application at mhlrm.com

Happy - a day we celebrate our amazing fosters 👏Meet Megan and her family, who we consider MHLRM foster superstars! 🌟

Over the last few years The Whitaker family have welcomed 14 dogs into their home! From wiggly puppies to grown dogs who needed a soft place to land. 14 wagging tails, 14 loving hearts, and 56 paws… 🤪 plus countless memories!

When asked to share one of the best things about fostering, foster mama Megan replied “Fostering has become something very special for our family, especially for our kids. It has taught them what it truly means to care for another living being. They have learned about patience, kindness, responsibility, and the love it takes to help a dog feel safe and cared for”
(Pretty powerful lessons, if you ask us. 🥹)

While they’re not quite ready to make a pup a permanent family member just yet… the jury’s still out! 😄 fostering has been the perfect way to open their home & hearts to 14 VERY lucky dogs.

“Saying goodbye is never easy, but knowing they are heading to a home where they will be loved makes it all worth it”

Megan & family, MHLRM is so lucky to have you! You are the reason these dogs get the second chances they deserve. 🙌

If fostering has ever crossed your mind, let this be your sign. 👇 Drop a ❤️ below or send us a DM to learn more!
