🎃👻 SHOW ME YOUR DOGS: HALLOWEEN EDITION 👻🎃

We'll go first, and we need you to stay calm. 😤

Exhibit A: a HIPPO. A real hippo. She was found in a backyard in New Jersey, looking deeply betrayed by her own cuteness. Those eyes say "I did not consent to this," and that lip says "but I look incredible and I know it." 🦛💅

Exhibit B: PASCAL from Tangled, reporting for duty as the most loyal sidekick in the kingdom. 🦎💚 Rapunzel is not pictured, but she is absolutely nearby, and this little chameleon is clearly the real star of the show. That smile says "I'd follow you anywhere, especially if there are snacks." 🏰✨

Scientists are baffled. Candy is in danger. We are not okay. 😂

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! 👇
Drop your pups in their Halloween costumes in the comments. Spooky, silly, dramatic, or "I put a bandana on him and called it a cowboy" all count. We want to see EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. 🐶🎃

Happy Howl-o-ween from all of us at Southern Paws! 🧡🖤🐾

🚨ATTENTION ROMANTASY GIRLIES, SHADOW DADDY ADDICTS, AND WOMEN PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY AUTHOR SARAH J. MAAS. 🚨

Put down your Kindle. Close the 37 tabs of Rhysand fan art. Stop pretending you're going to bed after one more chapter when we all know damn well you're about to watch the sunrise with a fictional man who has wings, unresolved trauma, mommy issues, and the emotional availability of a damp cloth.

Your TBR pile is taller than your emotional stability, your Kindle has seen more action than your bedroom, and your standards for men have been permanently destroyed by fictional bat boys. BUT HAVE WE GOT FOUR LITTLE WOMEN FOR YOU INSTEAD. 😏

Meet GWYN, FEYRE, NESTA & ELAIN — four 14-week-old Catahoula/Pittie mix puppies looking for their happily-ever-afters! They're beautiful, dramatic, and fully prepared to make their problems everyone else's problems.

📖 MEET YOUR NEXT OBSESSIONS:

🌸 FEYRE: Main character energy. Thinks she's responsible for the entire household despite contributing absolutely nothing to the mortgage.

🔥 NESTA: Wakes up and chooses violence against innocent squeaky toys. Doesn't need a man. Needs snacks, a couch, and someone who respects her attitude.

🌷 ELAIN: Looks like a sweet, innocent flower. Meanwhile, your underwear is missing, your slipper has a hole, and she's sitting there looking like a Victorian orphan.

⚔️ GWYN: Would absolutely convince the other three to commit crimes at 3 a.m. because dinner was served four minutes late.

‼️Character-inspired descriptions, not actual temperament assessments. But we wouldn't put the chaos past them.‼️

📚 NOW THOUGH, ABOUT YOUR QUESTIONABLE READING HABITS... If your bookshelf contains enough s**t to make a medieval priest spontaneously combust, congratulations. YOU'RE OUR TARGET AUDIENCE. You've already fallen for men with wings, claws, and centuries of emotional baggage. What's one more demanding relationship?

Except THIS one comes with four paws, puppy breath, and an obsession with eating things that aren't food. No 800-page slow burn. No enemies-to-lovers trope. Just a tiny creature who will love you unconditionally and then attempt to eat your baseboards.

WE FOUND YOU A FATED MATE WHO WILL ACTUALLY COMMIT. ❤️

🚨 PLOT TWIST: PRE-ADOPTION ONLY! 🚨
These girls are NOT currently in New Jersey, so there will be NO in-person meet-and-greets before adoption. Approved adopters must be comfortable committing based on the information Southern Paws provides before the puppies arrive.

Yes, you're being asked to commit before meeting her. SOUND FAMILIAR, ACOTAR FANS? 👀 Unlike your favorite morally gray male who forgets to mention you're his mate until the emotional damage is done, WE'RE TELLING YOU THE TERMS UP FRONT.

These girls are still babies who need patience, training, socialization, and someone who understands that puppies are basically furry drunk toddlers with needles for teeth. But unlike that emotionally unavailable fictional man you've defended for six books now, THESE GIRLS ARE ACTUALLY WORTH THE EFFORT.

YOUR FICTIONAL SHADOW DADDY MAY NEVER EXIST, BUT YOUR FOUR-LEGGED SOULMATE DOES.

🚨 LISTEN, LINDA. LISTEN. LINDAAAAA. No, seriously. SOMEONE LISTEN TO THIS DAMN LINDA 😭🗣️🚨

Meet Linda. She’s 6 months old, ridiculously adorable, and currently questioning what the actual F she has to do to get adopted around here. 🙄 “LISTEN, LINDA. LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME, LINDA.”

Except plot twist… SHE IS LINDA. And apparently, NOT A DAMN SOUL IS LISTENING. 💀 At just 6 months old, Linda has already entered her “had enough of everyone’s bullsh*t era”. She’s got the face of an angel, with the audacity of a woman named Linda demanding to use her expired 37 cent shoprite coupon that wasn’t accepted by a Karen.

She’s watched enough puppies get adopted that she’s officially entered her bitter bridesmaid era. You know, the one who’s been in seven weddings, spent $4,000 on ugly dresses, and now sits at the reception drinking straight vodka while aggressively whispering, “OH, ANOTHER PUPPY GOT ADOPTED? HOW WONDERFUL. SO HAPPY FOR HER. REALLY. I’M DAMN NEAR THRILLED, SUSAN.” 🙄

She’s SIX MONTHS OLD. She should be busy stealing socks, making questionable life choices, and committing minor household felonies. Instead, she’s stuck advertising herself on Hinge like a 21 year old convinced she will never find the love of her life. And frankly? LINDA IS PI**ED. 😂

She’s HOUSEBROKEN, she’d even put the toilet seat back down for you, which already puts her ahead of approximately 80% of the men on Tinder. She’s CRATE TRAINED, meaning she can peacefully retire to her own little studio apartment without threatening to sue the landlord. And she WALKS BEAUTIFULLY ON A LEASH, because Linda doesn’t believe in dragging innocent civilians down the sidewalk like a runaway shopping cart at Costco.

SHE’S BASICALLY THE WHOLE DAMN PACKAGE, AND YET SOMEHOW SHE’S STILL SINGLE. No criminal record. No outstanding warrants. No baby daddy drama. No ex-boyfriend named Chad who still uses her Netflix password. Just a sweet, little girl who would very much appreciate someone getting their head out of their ass and fully prepared to negotiate her way out of trouble while you pay for dinner. 😂

So for the love of God, LISTEN, LINDA. Actually, scratch that. EVERYBODY ELSE, LISTEN TO LINDA AND ADOPT HER BEFORE WE NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT.

🚨 SOMEONE PLEASE ADOPT THIS 7-YEAR-OLD HORSE BEFORE SHE GETS ARRESTED FOR HARASSMENT WITH HER NOSE. 🚨🐎💀

Meet SALEM. A 7-year-old Great Dane who is quite possibly the gentlest, sweetest, most loving creature God ever created… before he accidentally installed the personality of a drunk frat boy inside a retired racehorse with an AARP membership.

Salem loves EVERYONE. Dogs? Cats? Loves them. Humans? Obsessed. YOUR PERSONAL SPACE, HOWEVER? ABSOLUTELY F’ING DEMOLISHED. You see, Salem has a favorite game called BOOP THE SNOOT, except nobody explained to this oversized equestrian du***ss that her nose is approximately the size of a submarine and NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE BOOPED.

Sleeping peacefully in bed? BOOP. 👃 Congratulations, you've just been punched in the face by a wet ham with nostrils. Bending over to unload the dishwasher? BOOP. 🍑 RIGHT UP THE ASS. No warning. No dinner first. No consent form. Just a surprise colonoscopy courtesy of Dr. Salem, DVM (Doctor of Violating Moments). Standing in the kitchen minding your own damn business? BOOP. She's checking your oil. Don't ask questions.

AND THEN THERE'S THE FOOD SITUATION.
Salem is what we in the rescue world like to call food motivated. What we actually mean is that this brat would sell your grandmother on Facebook Marketplace for a single piece of shredded cheese.

Dinner is at 5:00? Salem would like to know why the HELL it isn't being served at 4:37. And because she's an independent woman who doesn't need no man, she's taken it upon herself to help with household chores. INCLUDING REMOVING SILVERWARE FROM THE KITCHEN SINK. Not washing it. Not putting it away. Just casually stealing utensils like a 120-pound Cracker Barrel employee having a mental breakdown because her shift ended 20 minutes ago and nobody fed her.

Now, we know what you're thinking. A Great Dane? In my house? What about the drool?
GOOD NEWS, YOU JUDGMENTAL KNOW-IT-ALLS. Salem is a LADY OF SOPHISTICATION. 💅 That's right. She somehow mastered the art of keeping her slobber outdoors while simultaneously failing to understand that YOUR BU****LE IS NOT A DOORBELL. Make it make sense.

MEANWHILE. Some of y’all are over here calling her geriatric at a mere 7. That’s a pretty rude F’ing way to call her old. Is asking for someone willing to listen and discuss her latest bloodwork like it's the season finale of Grey's Anatomy TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? 🩺

Basically, Salem is the geriatric nursing home lady who shows up for mahjong but spends the entire game yelling at Margaret to pass the damn tile and gossiping about her latest medical procedures and whether Dr. Michael is still single next week. 👵🏻 But don't worry, sugar. The plumbing still works, and she's got plenty of life left in those bones for questionable decisions.

We don’t know who Dr. Michael is but… WHO’S READY TO KIDNAP THEIR GRANDMA FROM AN UNNECESSARY NURSING HOME?!

🩺 A WORD ABOUT HER HEALTH: Salem has ITP (immune-mediated thrombocytopenia), which means she’s a girl who requires a little extra medical oversight, so her future family needs to be prepared for some appointments and follow-ups, and staying on top of her health. Knock on wood, she has been great for a long time!

🧡 Día de los Mu***os is a beautiful time to remember the ones who loved us with their whole hearts, and that includes our pups. 🐾

On an ofrenda, families set out marigolds to guide their loved ones home, candles to light the way, water for the journey, and a few favorite things. For our dogs, that means a cozy blanket, a squeaky toy, their collar, and of course plenty of treats. 🦴🎾🕯️

Today we're holding every pup we've loved and lost a little closer. Their pawprints stay on our hearts forever. 💛

Drop your sweet angel's name in the comments so we can remember them together. 🌼🐾

🚨 SOMEONE’S REBELLIOUS TEENAGER IS AT IT AGAIN. 🚨

ASPEN. An 11-month-old Aussie mix who has been sitting here since F’ING JANUARY wondering why she’s still living in the foster care like it’s Saturday detention. 💀

Girl. GIRL. WE. KNOW. WHY. 😭

It’s because you act like an absolute BRAT at adoption events while the other puppies are politely handing out their imaginary college applications, you are in the back wearing black eyeliner, listening to My Chemical Romance, and telling everyone the world is ending.

And loads of chaotic children acting like they are at a 24/7 carnival in the house? She thinks the hell NOT. 💀 Aspen has the same relationship with children that a hormonal teenager has with mandatory algebra. She would rather fake her own death than participate in another group project.

Naturally, this attitude earned her a one-way ticket to REFORM SCHOOL. That’s right. Aspen earned herself an adoption-graduation-action-plan consisting of weekly professional training because apparently somebody needs to make sure this little delinquent does her homework and doesn’t become a 5th-year senior with a smoking problem behind the gymnasium.

And guess what?! SHE’S ACTUALLY DOING HER DAMN HOMEWORK. 👏 Underneath the teenage angst, questionable anti-social skills, and overwhelming desire to flip off the entire elementary school population is an INCREDIBLE dog.

Because here’s the plot twist for our housebroken, well house-mannered, crate trained girl that nobody sees coming... Give Aspen a doggy friend and a family over the age of 15, and this little emo brat transforms into the LIFE OF THE PARTY. 🎉 Suddenly she’s not Wednesday Addams. She’s the drunk bridesmaid at a wedding who knows every word to every song, and has befriended the bartender.

She LOVES her people. She LOVES having a canine bestie. She wants to play, run, romp, be ridiculous, and live her absolute best life. She just doesn’t want to be surrounded by tiny humans who scream like malfunctioning smoke detectors. AND FRANKLY, SOME OF US CAN RELATE. 😭

So please. Someone with a sense of humor, a doggy friend, no young kids, and the patience to survive a teenager’s emo phase... COME GET YOUR DAUGHTER.
