Adoption Spotlight: Smokey 🩶

Smokey is a 7 year old, 6 lb Pomeranian that was used as a breeding dog.

After spending 6.5 years in a puppy mill, Smokey is ready for a soft place to land. He’s surprisingly interested in human affection and warms up fairly quickly. He sleeps loose in a room, loves other dogs, is great with cats, and is learning to potty outside.

Smokey is looking for an understanding, patient home with a fenced yard and other friendly dogs to help him feel safe and confident.

5 of our dogs got the ultimate spaw day treatment today! 🫧 All of these senior dogs are 💖 ADOPTABLE 💖 & the puppy will be available soon! Read a little tidbit about each of them below:

🌷 Maddie ~ As sweet as a slice of leftover Derby pie!!! She came from a hoarding case and has recently had to undergo back-to-back surgeries, but she is now putting on weight and looking for her forever. She has had a rough life and can be fearful and flinchy, but despite the mistreatment in her past she is still so willing to trust and love. ❤️‍🩹 Maddie gets along well with other dogs and is very quiet and calm in her foster home. She loves to cuddle and enjoys sleeping underneath blankets. Despite her silvery face she still has plenty of life left and has been caught playing with toys and chasing butterflies outside just this week!

🍔🥢 Chopper ~ (AKA Whopper, Chop Chop, Chopsticks) The most pint sized out of the entire crew- Chopper is low maintenance and quiet as long as you’re within view at all times. When you’re out of sight he has the saddest old man howl you’ve ever heard! As long as someone is home he sleeps most of the day. He enjoys being near you on the couch but won’t be crawling in your lap for cuddles. He has a very unique salt & pepper coat with a texture that’s been compared to a Brillo pad. Chopper has a heart murmur and a collapsing trachea but is currently doing well. He would love a foster home while he searches for his permanent home. 🩶

🌚 Patty ~ You ever heard of a Binturong? Google it and then say we’re rong! Patty came to us from Texas emaciated and terrified. We tried to help her put some weight on and, well, we succeeded and then some! 🫣 This burnt loaf of bread is approximately 10-11 years old and is looking for a nice, quiet couch and a lap to rest her frosty face on. She’s shy at first but once she warms up to you she does a happy dance on her hind legs for you every morning. She’s very quiet and the perfect mix of present when you’re around and independent when you’re not around.

🍄‍🟫 Reed ~ This freckly fellow is the most lively of the bunch. He would do just fine in an average energy household and would love a yard or regular walks. He would even be a great travel companion! 💼 Reed has a heart murmur and his tongue sticks out all the time. He’s friendly with everyone and loves to get in your face for kisses. He gets along with other dogs and has a high sociability score. Reed is a very adaptable dog and is ready to fit in wherever he can!

🐞 Ladybug ~ Ah… girlhood. There’s nothing more feminine than diving into muddy ponds, rolling in p**p, and biting ankles. Ladybug is a 12 week old heeler mix looking for a best friend who will let her live out her tomboy dreams. Like a typical cattle dog she will be very loyal and attached to her person. She is currently displaying medium herding drive and will be looking for an adopter who is experienced with the breed and can offer a firm yet gentle hand due to her sensitive nature. Ladybug will be available once she’s completed all of her vetting, so stay tuned! 🐄

🌼 PROJECT AMELIE 🌼

Amelie is a very special dog looking for an equally special adopter who enjoys a good transformation project. She is a retired breeding dog who spent her young years making puppies instead of being one.

She missed out on some much needed socialization and needs a patient and understanding owner that can help her feel safe, secure, and respected. She will need time to warm up to not only you but also her new environment.

If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, seeing Amelie flourish into her full potential would be a highly rewarding experience and would result in a strong bond that she would only share with you!

Amelie is 5 years old, approximately 10-12 pounds, spayed, and fully up to date on all vaccinations. She will require a securely fenced backyard due to her skittish nature and she would do best with at least one other small, confident dog in the home that can help show her the ropes. Amelie has a dense Pomeranian coat that will require regular brushing.

If you are interested in taking on Project Amelie, the first step is submitting an adoption application here:

Meet Ladybug 🐞
Our newest intake is a wee heeler mix puppy.

She’s approximately 12 weeks old and will be available for adoption once she completes all of her vetting- so stay tuned! In the meantime she is working hard on crate training, learning basic commands, and socializing with other dogs.

She is currently being fostered in central Kentucky and will require an adopter with previous cattle dog experience and no young children in the home.

Maddie needs some groceries! 🛒 🥩🥕 This sweet senior has had it rough since she came into the rescue.

First she needed surgery to remove a massive hernia- then, after a recovery period, she needed surgery again to remove multiple rotten, infected teeth that were making it painful for her to chew.

Now that she’s recovered from both surgeries and can eat comfortably, it’s time for her to start her weight gain journey. 💪🏻 She has gone to a foster home so that she doesn’t have to compete for food.

Click the link below if you can help Maddie check off an item from her grocery list. Thank you for being a part of her recovery! 🫶🏻

❤️‍🩹 Transport help needed ❤️‍🩹

This might be a long shot, but we need an urgent medical transport from Summerville, Georgia to Louisville, Kentucky (or even part of the way) TODAY. Anyone up for a road trip?

We’re trying to get this special needs neonate pug to our medical foster. Even meeting halfway would help tremendously. We can help with gas money.

Please message us ASAP if you can help! 🚗 🚗 🚗
