Second Chance Paws

06/02/2026

Today we were able to save 7 dogs from death row. 🐾❤️

That is 7 lives that got another chance because people cared, shared, fostered, adopted, and stepped up when it mattered most.

A huge thank you to Nicholas Pet Haven and Pawsitive Place Rescue for stepping up and helping save lives. Rescue takes a village, and today proved that.

But we are not done yet.

There are still 12 more dogs that need to be saved. I was able to speak with Colton, and thankfully he gave us an extension until June 10th for these 12 dogs.

That means we have a little more time, but not much.

We need fosters, adopters, rescues, and shares to help get these dogs out safely before the deadline. Please do not wait until the last minute. These dogs deserve to live. They deserve a chance. They deserve someone to say yes.

If you can foster, adopt, or help in any way, please reach out to me.

Please share. These 12 dogs are counting on us. 🐾❤️

Happy Adoption Day, Ophelia! 🐾❤️

Ophelia was tagged by us from the shelter, and today she officially went to her forever home!

She was adopted by such a lovely family, and when I took her home, you could just tell she knew she was right where she belonged. She was so happy to be home. 🥹

These are the moments that make rescue so worth it. From being unsure of what her future would look like, to now being loved and safe with her new family — Ophelia’s story has a beautiful happy ending.

Thank you to everyone who supports, shares, fosters, donates, and believes in these dogs. Because of you, dogs like Ophelia get their second chance. ❤️

Happy life, sweet girl!
