Get your tissues ready šŸ„¹. Remember Nacho, who was facing euthanasia at the shelter back in December? Today, he officially found his perfect forever home.

Nacho truly hit the jackpot with Samus, Calvin, and their dog, Mika. From the first day of their foster-to-adopt period, they showed Nacho what patience, commitment, and love means.

We love you, Nacho, and weā€™re so excited to see you shine with your new family.

And a huge thank you to , who took a chance on Nacho when no one else would. Nacho wouldnā€™t be where he is today without you.

To our supporters who donated to Nachoā€™s fundraiser, we cannot thank you enough. Because of you, Nacho was saved from euthanasia and is thriving in his board & train. He is learning so much and making friends along the way.

We canā€™t wait to match this special guy with his forever home. He deserves the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Happy Holidays from Nacho and JFP šŸŽ„ā„ļøšŸ’•

Major update! We have a plan to save Nacho from euthanasia, but we need your help to make it happen. A local trainer has agreed to take Nacho for three weeks to help him work through his anxiety. While the trainer has graciously provided a rescue discount, we need your help to raise $2,100 for Nachoā€™s board & train.

Nacho deserves a second chance at life. This boy was surrendered by the only family heā€™s ever known, and we canā€™t let him down again. In the spirit of the holidays, please consider donating to Nacho. Even $5 makes a difference in allowing us to provide the care and attention Nacho needs.

From the bottom of our (and Nachoā€™s) hearts, thank you. ā¤ļø

ā€¼ļøCalling in reinforcementsā€¼ļø Please help us save Nacho. This loving boy was surrendered to the shelter where he is terrified and risks euthanasia. Nacho is a 3-year-old loyal companion who would thrive in an active but patient home without kids. Weā€™re waiving adoption fees and will contribute to a training fund.

Meet Barney šŸ¾ ā€” the distinguished gentleman (peep the crossed paws) with a heart of gold šŸ’›

This hound mix is the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. Whether itā€™s long walks or snuggles on the couch, Barney is always ready to match your vibe. He adores other dogs, is fantastic with kids, and is just patiently waiting for his forever family to find him.

šŸšØ Urgent: Help Save Otto! šŸ¾

At Justice for Paws, we believe rescue isnā€™t just about adoptionā€”itā€™s about keeping families together. Otto, a loving 7-year-old lab mix, needs emergency surgery to remove a foreign object. His family is facing financial hardships and needs the communityā€™s help to afford the $2,500 procedure.

Letā€™s rally to keep Otto happy, healthy, and united with his loving family. Every dollar counts. Can you chip in to help save Otto?

8/29 UPDATE: Otto is out of surgery and resting. This sweet boy had to have 18 inches of intestines removed. He had to stay overnight at the vet for monitoring, which increased the cost. Thank you to everyone who donated. Letā€™s rally to raise a few extra hundred $ to support Ottoā€™s family!
