Help us fundraise $700 for sweet, senior Daisy! She's 10-12 years old, quiet, and endlessly grateful for a chance at a better life.

Daisy needs some serious vet care right now for:
• A luxating patella
• An infected molar that's cracked and loose
• A large hematoma needing immediate surgical draining

None of this is her fault, and none of it is minor. We need help supporting the kind Samaritan that decided to foster her for a chance at recovery!

Our hope is for Daisy to get vetting she needs and a comfy, orthopedic dog bed too. She's spent enough of her life waiting. Any donation, big or small, makes a real difference. 💛

Do you cross the street in the morning just to sniff the neighbor’s flowers? No? Well Chloe will remind you every walk to take time for the important things in life: a deep breath, movement every day, and enjoying the world’s simple wonders.

Chloe has been in a foster home for ONE YEAR and is still not adopted. Houston, drop your questions in the chat and we’ll share more about this 6 year old, bat-eared, pittie-mix cutie!

Summer long term foster dog update! All of these dogs have been in our program for several years. They all have dedicated humans, but we'd like them all to be adopted this year!

Riley continues to be a model dog in his boarding facility which includes meeting most new dogs, families that come through to show off his manners.

Chloe's foster moved from an apartment to a house and she's obsessed with having a yard to roll around in.

Miles is still rippin' stuffies and breaking hearts with his big slobbering self.

Talli had surgery a couple months ago, and is loving her at-home laser treatments with her foster Mom. Today is her first day off strict rest!

Everyone wish Talli a fast TPLO surgery recovery!

You may have noticed us posting less recently. Our transport side of things is running well with small to medium dogs that are saved from the shelter, and typically transport easily. Then we all have a handful of dogs that we’ve had for many years without finding adopters.

Talli is one of them. She’s on her second surgery and she will never be forgotten. Talli is in a loving foster home that remains dedicated while we look for an adopter. It’s expensive to care for dogs through all their needs, on going, year over year. But we will never give up hope un the right app comes across our desk.

Barbie and Chloe are both in foster homes after years in boarding. They've always had access to engaging play with other dogs, and a yard to run around in.

Chloe has been in a foster home since last August, and Barbie since the end of the year.

We are so happy their journey from the street, to the shelter, to boarding has now, finally landed them in comfy homes. Both girls came in to the shelter together between 6 months and a year old. Now they're adults.

Help us help each of them transition a final time into a final home.

We’re working really hard to manifest this being the year Riley gets adopted! This good boy is great company out for a burger or walking the neighborhood.

Riley has been in boarding for waaaayyyy longer than we want (and by longer we mean years). He is the model dog when others come in for training, gets lots of play time with other dogs, and is very loved.

If you feel upset he’s been in boarding so long, then help us out. Share this post. Help us find an adopter for him. Help us find a foster. Help us find a foster failer.

Merry Christmas from the Forgotten Coast 6 long-stay dogs looking for their forever homes! Our goal in 2026 is that every single one of these faces gets adopted into a home perfect for them.

As you may have seen, Petfinder is having BIG outages. Normally, our dogs bios are on our website supported through a PetFinder widget. With that broken, we're looking into new web designs to work around it! In the mean time, please SHARE this post that has each dog's bio under their picture!

Every single one of these dogs has been in our rescue for over 2 years awaiting for their forever family.

You can find ways to financially support our dedication to these dogs here:

Big boy Miles is wondering what you’re doing for the holidays? Miles would love a chance to make a good impression on an experienced family looking to add a dog to their life! This guy is hunky, full of love, has a great obedience baseline and just wants to share some drool and the leftover stuffing from the stuffed toys he loves destroying!

Miles has been in boarding (with a devoted trainer and lots of room to explore) for several years and is ready for a new chance at forever.

Let’s talk about why walks matter as part of your dog’s routine.

You may be thinking, “But I have a backyard!” Here’s the thing: even dogs with yards need regular walks. While backyards are great for potty breaks and playtime, walks offer something different.

When dogs walk, they get to engage their minds through sniffing and exploring new environments. Those sniffs aren’t just cute. Sniffing is how they gather information about the world around them! It’s mentally stimulating and is so good for them to engage their brain in different ways than just in their same familiar yard.

Walks can also be part of strengthening your bond, providing important socialization, and helping burn off energy in a structured way.

Pictured you’ll see Chloe, one of our adoptable dogs, out for her weekend stroll at Hermann Park with her foster. Chloe walks great on a leash and no matter if it’s a trip around the neighborhood block or a trip to the park, she loves to stop and smell everything.
