🎃

Adoptions have been moving painfully slowly lately, but yesterday reminded us why we keep doing what we do! ❤️

We had the BEST time transporting Lyra (formerly NeeNee) to her foster home with Nicole. 🚗

Nicole recently moved to San Diego and was hoping to find a German Shepherd-type dog, since that’s the breed she’s familiar with. We are so grateful that she stumbled across Lyra’s post on Petfinder.

Naturally, we had to get Lyra all dressed up for the occasion. We made a pit stop at Nothing for a little treat because, let’s be honest, they have some of the best pup cups in the biz! ☕️🐾

Nicole was kind enough to meet us halfway, and Lyra didn’t even hesitate before hopping right into her car. We always love seeing that kind of enthusiasm!

Lyra originally found a home with a family four years ago, but through no fault of her own, she recently found herself back with us. The last photo is from the day she was originally adopted. Not much has changed! Okay, maybe the ears have gotten a little bigger. 😍

Now we’re crossing all our fingers and paws that this is the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for Lyra and Nicole. Lyra is part Great Pyrenees and part German Shepherd, and she’s a sweet mix of both. Very protective and fierce, but also syrupy sweet and gentle. Also wicked smart!

Please send these two some extra good luck and all the happy adoption vibes! We’re really hoping this one is forever. 🏡❤️

We need a little help getting these two sweet girls through their FIP treatment. ❤️

Stella and Minnie both became sick around the same time and were diagnosed with FIP. We started treatment right away, and as you can see from the progression in their photos, they are already looking SO much better!

FIP treatment used to cost thousands of dollars, but thankfully, it has become much more affordable. There are still medication costs, required bloodwork, and ongoing monitoring, though.

We’re currently one-quarter of the way through their 84-day treatment, and we desperately need help getting them across the finish line.

Our goal is to raise $800 to cover the remainder of their treatment.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps give these girls the chance to make a full recovery.

Donations are tax-deductible. Grandma Betty’s Animal Rescue is an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Donation links are above in our profile.

Thank you for helping us get Stella and Minnie healthy again. They send lots of love and tiny kitty thank-yous! ❤️🐾

This beauty is Honey Buns 💞

This sweet girl is just 10 months old and healthy, which is practically unheard of for a bully! ❤️

She’s incredibly sweet, potty trained, and ready to find a family of her own.

Unfortunately, her current family has experienced a significant life change, and through no fault of her own, she needs to find a new home ASAP.

We’re hoping to find her the loving family she deserves. Please share and help us find her people! 🐾

Please SHARE as this girl is a unicorn!!! 🦄

🕯️🐾 TODAY, OCTOBER 27, THE ANIMALS BEGIN THEIR JOURNEY HOME🌼

In the tradition of Día de los Mu***os, the Day of the Dead, today marks the beginning of a beautiful time when we welcome the spirits of our beloved animals back home. 🐾🌈

For those of us who have loved an animal, we know that death doesn’t end the connection. They leave their paw prints on our hearts, become part of our stories, and continue to find us in the quiet moments when we miss them most.

Tonight, light a candle. Put out their favorite treat. Share a photograph, tell their story, and leave a little space for the ones who made this world a better place simply by being in it. 🌼🧡

Billy, Lobo, Lola, Remy, Walter, and all the beautiful souls we’ve had to say goodbye to — you are loved, you are remembered, and you will always have a place here. ❤️

🌼 A beautiful way to honor your loved ones: KPBS is hosting a Día de los Mu***os Digital Altar on its website, where you can share a memory and honor someone who has passed. You can create a separate tribute for each loved one, including the animals who will forever be part of your family. 🧡💜🩷

🕯️ Visit KPBS.org and look for the Day of the Dead Digital Altar to submit your tribute.

May the path home be bright with marigolds, may the candles guide them, and may every beloved soul know they are never forgotten. 🌼🐾✨

Until we meet again. ❤️

(Thank you 🖤 kristine • tran 🖤 for submitting Remy’s tribute)

I’ve been wanting to start a blog of some sort and I’m torn between using Patreon and Substack.

Do any of you have an opinion on either of these?

Do you know of a better option?

❤️ We have more ways to communicate than ever, yet so many people feel lonely, unseen, overwhelmed, or like they have to present a polished version of themselves to the world.

Social media gives us a place to post, but it doesn’t always give us a place to be human. A place where people can show up exactly as they are, including myself.

I’m tired of feeling like I have to push content out. I’m exhausted. But I’ve made so many good friends in rescue that I’d like to have a space outside of Instagram.

If you are a fan of Lee Asher, you should check out their Patreon page. It’s behind the scenes and it’s a really fun group of animal lovers. He does a live every week on Thursday to talk, share updates and laugh—a LOT.
I look forward to it every week. 💕

If we started one, would you be interested in joining? Or maybe just a blog?

Let me know your thoughts down in the comments or DM us!

Happy Saturday ❤️

The art 🖼️ and the artist 😆

This is not an unfamiliar sight to any Great Pyrenees owners out there. I always try to warn adopters that this is most likely going to happen in their yard at some point. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost broken a leg or ankle walking in my yard in the dark and falling into a moon crater that wasn’t there even a few hours prior!

The artist pictured is Batu, a giant guy we rescued from the Merced Shelter with the help of our friend Dog Networking ❤️

Batu is half Pyrenees and half Pitbull! He’s a goofball but also a fierce protector weighing in at 130 pounds.

We love him dearly, and he’s now part of our family. 🤍

Today is $5 Friday and we are trying to raise money for a variety of very important things like vet bills, very expensive medication for two kitties with FIP and also for an expensive dental procedure. 🦷

We need all the help we can get, as our donations (like most non profits these days) have taken a nose-dive.

Why do we prefer adopting kittens out in pairs?

We try not to adopt kittens out as singles, but we know it can be hard to convince first-time cat owners that going from zero cats to TWO is actually a great idea! 😂

So, let’s talk about why adopting a pair can be one of the best decisions you make!

🐾 A built-in best friend. Having a familiar companion makes the transition to a new home less scary and can help ease loneliness and separation anxiety.

🐾 Energy has to go somewhere! Wrestling, chasing, and pouncing with a sibling helps kittens burn off those endless bursts of energy instead of directing them toward your furniture, curtains, or unsuspecting feet. 😂

🐾 Built-in entertainment. Two kittens keep each other company, which means you don’t have to be their 24/7 entertainment director, personal wrestling partner, and favorite toy.

And the best part? You get double the purrs, double the cuddles, and twice the love. ❤️

Trust us, two kittens really can be less work than one! And if you’re already thinking about adopting, why not give two little best friends a home together? 🐾💕

This beautiful sweet guy is the purrfect example of 2 being better than 1 🥹💕

Adoption update!
Mischa!

This beautiful funny girl was rescued from the Apple Valley Shelter at 6 weeks old, and she just turned 1!

We love seeing recent photos or videos of our adopted kitties or dogs.
Because they were all ours first 🥹
