Aw! One of our OGs has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

Ruthie was rescued in 2016 from dog fighting. She was a bait dog. The amazing folks at L.A. on Cloud9 got her out of that horrific situation.

We took her into our rescue. Redefined Dog Training & Friends rehabilitated her, and she was adopted by an amazing family who's had her this whole time.

Ruthie aka "Goat Girl" (because she made these goat-like noises when she'd get excited), developed lymphoma. The family did everything to give her comfort and care until it was time to give her relief and say goodbye.

We are sending love and prayers to her family. The twins haven't known a life without her, so we know this is a big loss for them.

Run free, sweet Ruthie! We are grateful for the opportunity to give you the love-filled life you and every dog deserve! 🌈🐾❤️

As painful as Animal Rescue can be, it is also so rewarding when you get to see one who didn't have a chance, get to see his 10th birthday!

Ten years ago today, we went to Carson Shelter to pull an "aggressive" 🙄 pit bull.

While we were there, we saw a man walking up with this puppy to surrender him. We asked him if he would give me the puppy instead, and he agreed.

However, it didn't take long to realize that something was very wrong. The pup had parvo.

We dropped the allegedly aggressive pitbull off at his foster home. He turned out to be the sweetest boy!
..And rushed then "Louis" to the vet. He was hospitalized for five days and then we brought him home and set up a veterinary contamination unit in the guest bathroom.

He healed, thrived, and went to stay with another PPITS foster until he was adopted (and named Duke) by his amazing forever mama!

Happy Birthday, baby boy!! 🎉🎉 Stella (pug) doesn't miss your acts of puppy terrorism, but we are so happy we took that chance on you that day, and you're living your best life!!

Thank you to everyone who's ever donated to us! This is what you make happen! www.pawprintsinthesand.org/donate
