A Golden Week of Grads & One Last Special Guest! 🐾❤️

We are celebrating an incredibly special week of happy endings!
From precious puppies and perfect foster wins to a senior duo that will absolutely melt your heart, 14 lucky rescues are officially starting their forever chapters.

Please join us in congratulating our latest graduates:

💛The Ultimate Senior Victory
Nadia (15) & Max (12): This is what rescue is all about! These two precious bonded Toy Poodles have spent a lifetime together, and they officially got to pack their bags for a forever home together. We are crying happy tears for this beautiful duo!

💛The Mesquite Grads
Sun & Mason & Bestie: Three more of our brave survivors from the Mesquite rescue case have officially found their forever families! Sun (a 2-year-old Shih Tzu), Mason (a handsome adult male), and Bestie (an incredible adult male) have traded their hard pasts for a lifetime of love.

💛The Foster Fails 🥰
Seven: This 5-month-old puppy girl stole her foster family's hearts the exact second they met her. They knew right away she wasn't going anywhere!
Tut: At 7 years young, this sweet Terrier proved that you're never too old to find your perfect match. He is officially a permanent member of his foster home!

💛The Puppy & Dog Crew 🐶

Jackson & Kingston: Talk about a handsome pair of 3-month-old brothers! Jackson (with his beautiful blue eyes) and Kingston (with his gorgeous fluffy coat and striking one-blue, one-brown eye combo) both found their perfect homes.

Pele: This majestic 5-year-old Doodle girl is ready to bring her elegant charm to a brand-new family.

Maise: A sweet, fluffy Doodle puppy girl ready to start her great big life adventure.

Little Brother: At 7 months old, this Terrier puppy is as sweet and playful as it gets—ready to keep his new family laughing!

Baby Boy: This super cute 3-month-old puppy is already preparing to completely take over his new home (and his family's hearts!).

Lana: At 6 years old, this sweet girl was surrendered by owners who could no longer care for her. She never has to worry again—her next chapter is filled with security and love.

🚨 SPECIAL SPOTLIGHT: THE LAST MESQUITE RESCUE! 🚨
Out of the 15 brave dogs we took in from the major Mesquite rescue case, only ONE dog is left waiting for her forever home!
Meet Gregory! (Yes, she's a girl—she was mistakenly identified as a male before her much-needed rescue grooming session!). Gregory is under 2 years old, weighs a tiny 10 lbs, and is super friendly, super cute, and absolutely ready to find her couch. Let's make it a clean sweep and find this last Mesquite miracle her perfect family!
👉 Apply to adopt Gregory right now at PawsitiveDifference.org!

Medical Mondays is a weekly way for us to ask for our communities help! All week we take in animals off the streets, injured or found.
It all cost so much to help them . Most are not neutered or spay, no shots or chips . All of this is what a dog needs to be legal in a home and it’s obvious these poor kids haven’t been properly kept. And the injured animals are over the top .
This is our mission to help every single one we can handle get everything they need . Please consider a one time or a weekly donation to keep us helping.
Thank you in advance 💛🐾❤️
Your support is always appreciated. If you can’t donate please share our Medical Mondays flyer to your animal loving friends and family. A little goes a long way .

‼️ Looking to make a difference, or even save a life? Well, we might just have the perfect opportunity for you ‼️

Meet Chiaki, our special, and healthy, 12 year old orange tabby girl! Chiaki has deep rooted trauma that has caused her to build her walls up, and has a hard time accepting love and care as this world has treated her so cruel in her past 😞

🧡 Chiaki has been with us for a couple of months, and we immediately knew she needed the extra time and care to be able to be vulnerable and want to love again. We have had her in our adoptions room in hopes a special someone would want to meet her and take the time to truly care and understand her. Unfortunately, Chiaki is very closed off and reserved, making it difficult to truly care for her in the kennel environment. She spends 99% of her time in her kennel, even when us volunteers try to get her out to socialize. Chiaki was declawed, causing her to be deeply traumatized. She is a bit of a defensive and combative kitty, often batting at you (no claws, so no scratches), or even sneaking in a bite or two if she feels on edge or like her personal bubble has been popped. This doesn’t stop us from still trying to love on her and pet her! 😆

We can tell Chiaki has a wholesome heart that just wants to be cared for and loved deep down. She’s not a scary cat at all, just full of trauma and resentment. In fact, her defensiveness doesn’t stop any of us from trying to comfort her! There are brief moments, split seconds even, where she will let you pet her before she brings her walls right back up. For that split moment of vulnerability, she will completely melt into your hand and allow herself to feel comfort. And that’s enough for us to continue trying to show her the world isn’t as cruel as she thinks, and there are people willing to love and be patient with her.

🐱🍬 Chiaki LOVES her treats. One of the things she doesn’t hate are Churus, which she will gladly devour! Lil’ miss grumpy here will be growling while enjoying her treats, it’s just the silliest and cutest thing! She’s also a BIG napper. Chiaki isn’t in the mood? No worries, she’ll probably be napping in the next two minutes!

Chiaki has been in temporary foster for a few weeks to decompress and spend some one on one time with an amazing volunteer. Since then, she has opened up a teeny bit, exploring the halls and not isolating herself in the bathroom she tends to find comfort in. She is still a bit defensive, but that doesn’t stop any of us from trying to love her!

Chiaki will be back in the adoptions room soon, but we truly believe she will thrive in an extremely patient home with no young kids or other animals. A home where patience, love, care, and simple understanding that this sweetheart just needs some time to trust again would be amazing for Chiaki. We are in search of the perfect adopter or foster that’s willing to care for her the way she needs to be. If you would like to foster or adopt this sweetheart, please visit PawsitiveDifference.org to fill out a foster or adoption application form! If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment or reach out via direct message. The reward of knowing you helped a kitty love and appreciate life again is the most rewarding feeling of all. Let’s get Chiaki to love life again, and to let her know that she is deserving of all the love thrown her way!

(Please check the comments for a video of Chiaki loving her pets!)

Kion is ready for his forever! 🐱🏡🤎

Meet our chunky boy, Kion! He’s our 2 year old tabby boy, who is fun, playful, and has a bit of s***k!

Kion came to us a few months ago as this timid and shy cat that was almost scared to trust people again. We believe that he was previously abused, and didn’t have the chance to be around other kitties to socialize. He wanted to be petted, to be cuddled, and loved on, but wasn’t sure how to accept all of that just yet. But us volunteers knew deep (but not all that deep actually) down that there was this special, loving and soft boy that could steal everyone’s hearts, he just needed a bit of patience.

Kion has since then been with our lovely foster that has taken the time and patience to understand Kion. She has gained his trust, and now accepts other people in his company because of it! He LOVES to play, he is such a silly cat! He has a million and one facial expressions, so you’ll always know how he’s feeling! He’s learned how to hit little foil balls back to you when tossed to him.

Kion is a bit of an affectionate biter (not aggressive!), so we believe that he will thrive in a home with no young/small kids, and possibly a home with no dogs, but other cats can be acclimated very slowly with him! He loves his pets, and will rub on your leg for affection.

Kion is truly a furball full of love! He has such an amazing, fulfilling, and lively personality that will truly bring joy into your home! If you are interested in a meet and greet with Kion, please visit PawsitiveDifference.org, “View Adoptable Pets,” search for Kion’s name, and fill out an application so a coordinator can reach out to schedule a meet and great. Please do not hesitate to reach out via comments or direct message for any questions or interests. Let’s get Kion his forever home and family! ❤️‍🔥

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁! 🌋

Age: 4 years young
Weight: 50 lbs of pure love
Breed: Poodle Mix

⚽️ No, not the soccer player—this gorgeous girl is named after Pele (pronounced PEH-leh) , the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, and volcanoes! While she has a powerful, majestic presence, her fire is purely a warm, glowing love for everyone she meets.

Pele is the absolute definition of a "gentle giant" with a sweet soul. She has mastered the art of the perfect canine balance: equal parts active adventurer and professional cuddle bug.

🐾 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲!
• The Goddess of Nature: Pele absolutely loves being outdoors. Whether she’s going for a neighborhood walk or playing a spirited game of fetch with her favorite ball, her zest for life is contagious.
• The Couch Potato: Once her outdoor adventures are done, Pele’s inner "volcano" cools right down. She transforms into the ultimate couch potato and cuddle bug, ready to lean her 50-lb frame right into you for some serious snuggle time.

💖 𝗔 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲!
Pele is a true diplomat and gets along with just about everyone in the kingdom:
• Kids: Wonderful with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.
• Dogs: Super friendly and plays great with other pups.
• Cats: Feline approved! She is respectful and good around her cat friends.

🏡 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵!
• 100% Potty Trained: This smart girl has excellent house manners. If she ever needs to go out ahead of her regular schedule, she will politely walk right to the door to let you know.
• Current Health: She is in radiant health, with just one tiny exception—she is currently treating a minor ear infection. Because of this, she needs to skip bath time for a couple of weeks, but she’s still as beautiful and sweet-smelling as ever!

💌 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲?!
If you are looking for a loyal, balanced, and deeply loving companion to complete your family, Pele is ready to erupt into your life with unconditional love.
