Help us write the next chapter. ❤️🐾

Margot has done her job. She kept her puppies safe, loved, and raised them through their toughest days. Now it’s time for the next chapter.

Her puppies are 6 weeks old and are available for pre-adoption! We’re looking for foster homes for about one week until they’re ready to head to their forever families.

Want to make sure you pick the perfect puppy? Foster two puppies together for the week and see which one steals your heart. It’s a great way to learn their personalities before making it official.

Now all they need is a couch, a family, and someone willing to say, “Come on home.”

If you can foster for a week or are ready to pre-adopt, send us a message today. Let’s help Margot and her babies begin the happy ending they’ve been waiting for.

Just when we thought we had seen or tried every fundraiser out there... one of our supporters Angela comes in with a "hold my beer" moment And WE ARE HERE FOR IT!!😂😂😂

Angela is competing in this year's Can You Survive? Charity Event in Newport, Maine from July 7-11. It's based on the TV show Survivor with contestants raising money for the charity of their choice while seeing who can survive 4 days in the wilderness. The best part?? 100% of all donations go directly to the contestants' charity of choice and we are hers! Every donation through the event link goes directly to the dogs in our care. Additionally, the contestant who raises the most money for charity prior to the event start earns an "advantage" for the event to give them a head start! Let's help Angela (and our dogs) out!

Support the rescue and help Angela raise the most funds here:

Max is still waiting. 💔

Every day he wakes up in a kennel, hoping today is the day someone finally sees him.

Here’s what we know:

🐾 Has lived successfully with a cat.
🐾 Wonderful house dog who settles in beautifully.
🐾 Needs to be the only dog so he can soak up all the love.
🐾 Would thrive in a home with a secure fenced yard where he has room to stretch his legs. Apartment life just isn’t the right fit for him.

Max doesn’t need a perfect family—he just needs his family. A soft bed. A backyard. A person to greet when they come home. The simple things so many dogs take for granted.

He’s done his waiting. Now he just needs someone to say, “Come home.”

If you can foster or adopt Max, please reach out. Let’s trade kennel bars for a backyard and give this deserving boy the fresh start he’s been waiting for. ❤️

Helping a sweet girl find a safe place to land. ❤️

Meet Tess, a 3-year-old Pit Bull mix who is looking for an adopter or foster after her world was turned upside down.

She has had one loving owner since being rescued, but sadly her owner has been diagnosed with end-stage cancer and can no longer care for her. Right now, Tess is being temporarily boarded by family while they desperately search for a rescue or foster. She’s extremely stressed as one can imagine and though, it’s only been a few days in her new home and she is not getting along with the other dogs. It is unclear whether or not she’s good with other dogs and the family member who has her is an equipped to try.

Tess is
🐾 Social and friendly
🐾 Loves to play
🐾 Walks beautifully on a leash
🐾 Knows basic commands
🐾 Spayed
🐾 No known medical issues or allergies
🐾 Heartworm negative
🐾 Recently updated on rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, flea/tick prevention, and heartworm prevention

Tess has lost the only home she’s known.

Can anyone open their heart and home to this deserving girl? Even sharing her story could help her find the second chance she so desperately needs.

Please reach out if you can foster, rescue, or know someone who can help Tess. ❤️🐾

They will transport her anywhere.

We have to have hope that fosters are out there… because these dogs are counting on it.

Tonight, we’re asking for help with 7 puppies of various ages living in a garage with little place to move and an elderly couple who are completely overwhelmed over their heads.

We want to help… Crossed Paws thankfully took 4, and still there are 7.. please help us get the rest into rescue.

Right now, we are beyond capacity. We don’t have kennels. We don’t have room. The only way these puppies can come to safety is if foster families step forward.

A foster home is more than a roof—it’s a lifeline. It’s the difference between staying stuck and getting a chance at the life every puppy deserves.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is the moment. Even one open home changes everything.

📩 Please message us if you can foster, or share this post to help us find the people who can.

Hope isn’t something we just talk about. It’s something our community creates, one foster home at a time. ❤️🐾

🐾 Copy and Paste on seven tiny potatoes 🐾

If this photo doesn’t say “we’re going to need a LOT of puppy pads,” we don’t know what does. 😂💙

Our puppy pad stash has officially vanished, and these babies aren’t slowing down anytime soon. If you’ve been looking for an easy way to help rescue, this is it! One pack of puppy pads goes a long way in keeping these little ones clean, healthy, and comfortable.

🎁 If you’d like to help the Laura Litter (and all the other puppies too), we’ve got puppy pads number one on our Amazon Wish List.

Thank you for always showing up for our rescue family. ❤️🐶

🚨 Foster Needed for Cairo 🚨

Cairo is a young Great Pyrenees who deserves so much more than the tiny space he’s been living in.

Born on Christmas Day two years ago and given as a gift, and not a dog to be in a small space. Like so many livestock guardian breeds, confinement is incredibly hard on him. He’s been spending his days walking stress circles in a small enclosure—a heartbreaking sign of a dog who simply needs room to breathe, stretch, and just be a dog.

He absolutely loves other dogs and has been wonderful with every person he’s met. He’s kind, gentle, and just looking for someone to give him a chance.

We can pull Cairo into rescue, but we need a foster home first. We simply don’t have an open spot.

Can you be the bridge between his past and his forever family?

🏡 Foster needed�🐶 Great with other dogs�❤️ Sweet, friendly, and affectionate�
Please share—even one share could help Cairo find the soft landing he’s been waiting for.
