Parfait got her freedom ride today. 🥹🤍

This beautiful 6-year-old, 50-lb girl arrived at her foster home this afternoon, and it didn’t take long to see just how incredibly sweet and gentle she is.

She got a much-needed bath and an hour of patiently having mats cut out—and she stood there the entire time, trusting her people to help her. 🥹 She loves getting pets and will politely ask for more if you stop. 🐾

She’s still figuring out a few things, like stairs (very suspicious 😂), and she hasn’t ventured far from the house on her walks yet. So far, she hasn’t made a peep!

Parfait is still decompressing and taking in this whole new world of being safe, comfortable, and loved. We can’t wait to watch her personality blossom as she settles in. 🤍

🚨 FRAZIER NEEDS A FOSTER! 🚨

Meet Frazier — a 1-year-old, 55-lb shepherd mix who is equal parts goofy adventure buddy and professional cuddle bug. 🐶

He’s potty trained, crate trained, has GREAT recall, loves kids and other dogs, and is always ready for his next adventure. 🌲

The ask? Frazier needs a temp foster Sept. 17–21 — just 4 days — OR a foster-to-adopt home! 🏡

Frazier who his foster lovingly calls "Fray-Fray" has been growing up in foster care for over 9 months. He is STILL waiting for his forever family. Could 4 days be the start of something amazing for sweet Frazier?🤎🖤

🍓🤍 Meet the sweetest berry in the patch… Gretta! 🍓🤍

This 50-lb sweetheart is ready to find her forever home! At around 5 years old, Gretta is a laid-back, loving girl who is potty, leash, crate, and car trained—and she even knows her sit & stay! 🥹

She absolutely loves people, loves attention, and has the sweetest personality. 🍓🐾

Gretta was once overlooked and found herself on the euthanasia list simply because of shelter space. Thankfully, her story didn’t end there. Now she’s just waiting for the right family to pick her from the patch. 🤍🏡

Could Gretta be the sweetest addition to your family? ❤️

Wile E. loves cuddles, fetch, and being by your side. He’s crate trained, doing great with potty training, and basically move-in ready.🐶🏡✨

Could Wile E. be your new fetch buddy?
