🛒🐾 PRIME DAY IS HERE… AND THE DOGS HAVE A SHOPPING LIST. 🐾🛒

You know that feeling when you open Amazon on Prime Day and suddenly realize you need 47 things you didn’t know existed? 😂

Well… our dogs actually DO need things. Lots of things. All the time.

From cleaning supplies to laundry essentials and everyday items that keep Happy Faces Pet Ranch running, our Amazon Wish List is filled with things that go straight to work for the dogs.

So while you’re hunting for those Prime Day deals, would you consider adding a little Happy Faces magic to your cart? 🐶❤️

✨ One order. One much-needed item. One very grateful rescue.

And with 100+ dogs depending on us every day, those little things add up to a HUGE difference.

🛒 Check out our Amazon Wish List in the comments and let your Prime Day shopping help a dog instead of just your shopping cart.

Because around here, Prime Day = Prime Opportunity to spoil some rescue dogs. 🐾💙

Thank you for always helping us keep the tails wagging and the laundry… well, never-ending. 😂🧺

Thank you Animal Artwork for your support! It takes a village to save these wonderful dogs and we couldn’t do it without all of you.
Mojo pictured is available for adoption.

This little baby is Mojo from Happy Faces Pet Ranch, and he is dressed to impress!

Happy Faces is one of the main rescues with whom I partner, and I love them because they are primary funded by only two families - that’s what dedication and love will do. They need a hand with some supplies, and I wanted to share their Amazon wish list and share an idea on how you can help AND get artwork too! If you get them $35 or more in supplies, you can reach out to me on Facebook Messenger with a screenshot of your receipt, and I’ll make you a free custom portrait!

🍄 Shiitake says THANK YOU! 🐾❤️

Look at this sweet girl! After her scary broken leg and emergency surgery, Shiitake is recovering beautifully — and she’s eating SO much better! 🥹💗

She knows she’s been getting lots of love and attention lately, and she is incredibly grateful for every person who has supported her journey. ❤️

But Shiitake has a little reminder for everyone… there are some amazing dogs at Happy Faces Pet Ranch who have been waiting far too long for their turn in the spotlight. 🐶✨

They’d love a little extra attention, some shares, and maybe even the forever family they’ve been waiting for. ❤️

Shiitake says thank you for helping her… now let’s spread a little love to the dogs still waiting. 🐾💕

10 DOGS.
3 DAYS.
ONE LITTLE PUPPY WHO NEEDED US IMMEDIATELY. 💔🐾

Some weeks at rescue are hard.
And then there are weeks that completely knock the wind out of you.
Last week was one of those weeks.

In just three days, Happy Faces Pet Ranch took in 10 dogs.

Nine came from a family facing serious illness and no longer able to care for them. Nine dogs whose lives suddenly changed, and whose future was now in our hands.

And then Wednesday night, Shiitake arrived. 🍄

This tiny puppy had been found and brought to us, but something was very wrong.
She wouldn’t put any weight at all on her back leg. Thursday morning, we took her straight to our veterinarian. X-rays revealed a fracture involving the growth plate in her leg.

There was no crate rest to see if it would get better. She needed an orthopedic surgeon.

We immediately sent her X-rays to our orthopedic specialist, and thankfully, they were able to get her scheduled for surgery the very next day.

Friday, Shiitake went into surgery.

$2,000 later, this little girl has a chance to run and play again. ❤️

She’s recovering. She’s feeling better. She’s got that puppy spark back. 🥹🐶

THIS is rescue.

🐶It’s saying yes when the timing isn’t convenient.

🐶It’s saying yes when the kennel is already full.

🐶It’s saying yes when the vet bill wasn’t in the budget.

🐶It’s saying yes because a dog doesn’t understand that the rescue is overwhelmed, the bills are piling up, or that there were already nine other dogs who needed help that week.

She just knows she needed someone.
And we were there.

But here’s the part where we need you. ❤️

Taking in 10 dogs in three days comes with an enormous emotional AND financial impact.

Every one of those dogs needs veterinary care, vaccines, preventatives, food, supplies and a safe place to heal.

And Shiitake’s unexpected emergency surgery added another $2,000 to our veterinary expenses.

We will always do everything we can to help the dogs who come through our doors.

But we can’t do it alone.

If you can help us cover some of the unexpected expenses from this incredibly busy week, even a small donation makes a difference.

$10.
$25.
$50.
Whatever you can spare.

Because last week wasn’t just 10 dogs in 3 days.

It was 10 lives that changed.

And 10 dogs who now have a chance at something better.

That’s what your support makes possible. ❤️🐾

🐾 Rescue dogs can do some pretty incredible things.

After 9/11, specially trained dogs searched through the rubble, found survivors, located those who were lost, and brought comfort to the people who needed it most. We are so grateful for those heroes!

But rescue dogs don’t have to search through a disaster to make an incredible difference.

They can be your companion.
Your reason to smile.
Your walking buddy.
Your comfort on a hard day.
Your best friend. ❤️

What kind of important work do you need a rescue dog to do in your life? 🐶
