Our Amazing Adopters

Boudreaux now Roadie lucked out and found his adoptive family who traveled all the way from North Carolina to adopt him. He now gets to live out his life with amazing PAWrents and 3 FurSiblings

Molly came to us after being thrown out of a car into someone's yard. She was interested with fleas and worms with open sores. However she lucked up and found her FurMomma Katy, who drove down from Lexington SC to adopt her. She gets 3 FurSiblings and gets to be her mom's coworker! How awesome is that!! Her grandma and FurCousins are always around to keep her company! Lucky little Molly!!

Frankie hit the doggy jackpot when he found his FurMomma Karen, who drove down from Gaston SC to adopt him. He gets to retire to the country and roam his fully fenced 3 acre yard with his Fursister Tess the Corgi. His new FurMomma is beyond amazing and can't wait to spoil him rotten!

China hit the proverbial jackpot and landed a home with one of our biggest supporters! I could NOT be happier with her happy ending. The best part is her foster family who fell in love will get to see her grow up because one of their family members ended up adopting her! Happy trails sweet girl!

Gloria now Gabbi ended up in a English Bulldogs paradise with her two new bulldog siblings! Her mom & dad are absolutely amazing and have welcomed her in with open arms. From her fosters to her forever home... What a happy ending for Gabbi girl!

Dakota is a rags to riches story if I've ever heard one. From laying on a neighbors porch for over a week to injured to move... Now she's living it up at the beach. Her amazing parents adore her. Her awesome big brother came all the way home from college for her adoption! 

This big guy was one of our first intakes and had been with us for some long he was... Well he was family. However I could not have hand picked a better adoptive family. He has a AMAZING Mom and his dads pretty great too! His new furbrother Huck is his best friend and they spend hours playing. I'm so incredibly overjoyed with this adoption....oh did I mention he was a foster fail? (I called it)

After over 2 years with us... Charlie has found his family! However in that 2 years he also became part of our family. He was here before "RAVE" actually took off back when I was just saving dogs as a person who couldn't see them go without. I honestly never thought that he would find his forever home so this adoption is one that came as a surprise and a shock. However I could not be happier for him!

Now he gets to spend the rest of his life playing with his new FurSister Joey and cuddling on the couch with his new pawrents.  He will get all the attention he deserves and become even more spoiled than he is now. 

Polly was a special case. She was actually adopted 2 times only for it to not work out both times before she even left RAVE. Polly was found eating a plain cardboard box in the middle of the road. It was raining and cold.. She was nearly bald, emaciated and had a horrible eye infection. However within the first 3 months she was a total different dog. She stole the hearts of two long time Rottweiler lovers and the rest is history. Think fairytale ending with the fireworks and the awwwwws. It was truly amazing watching her fall for them just as fast as they fell for her.

From tied outside in the elements while severely injured to adopted by a loving family who spoils her rotten. Haley is one of those tear jerking stories that just make you  all warm inside. Haley gets to spend her life with her mom, her aunt, "her boyfriend" and her new fur siblings! Best of all... She's right down the road and I'll get to watch her grow into the incredible dog I know she'll be.

(Second from the left) John came in emaciated and nearly bald. He was actually mistaken for a mangy coyote by people in the area he was found. From a life avoiding trigger happy people to living it up with a pack of fluffy pups of his own! The difference I saw in John when he made it to his home was honestly incredible.

TinkTink came to use when her owner who loved her VERY much passed away. She was with us for a full 48 hours before my in-laws met her and fell in love. To say she's living the good life is a major understatement.

Peony & Pistol sisters discarded using a dumpster... Because apparently giving puppies away or surrendering them to a rescue/shelter isn't a option these days. They went to a previous adopted of ours as fosters and less than 48 hours later were officially part of their AMAZING family! Im so incredibly happy for them!

CB is the sweetest guy and his story is one that will break your heart. We found him in the middle of the night abandoned in the middle of nowhere. He was quite literally knocking on deaths door. However he couldn't have landed himself in a better home. His mom fell in love with him as soon as she saw his picture! She was right there with me cheering him on. Now he's spoiled rotten and living his life to the fullest. CB buddy you've made it!

Scruffy was found in our area after he escaped from his life on a tie out. He was emaciated and covered in fleas, ticks and sores. He was rehabbed by his finder and when it was time to go to a foster... Well fate stepped in. His foster mom messaged me exactly 3 days later asking if they could keep him forever. He went from taken for granted to the apple of his moms eye. He goes to work with her and is her official "office dog". He truly got exactly what he wanted... 24/7 love and attention.

Goose was one of the 19 puppies we found abandoned in the woods. They were all in bad shape but Goose was by far the worst case. I quite literally begged people to give this extra special boy a chance. However nobody would. I soon realized that I'd fallen head over heels for him and couldn't stand to part with him myself and I rescue failed. He is our official mascot and my best boy.

When pumpkin came to us she was a literal shell of a puppy. We thought she was around 3 months old because she weighed a mere 8 lbs. We were shocked to find she was actually nearly 8 months old. When her owners moved they left her locked in tiny crate in the backyard. The first night she slept with her leg around my husbands neck and the following days grew even closer to him she's the apple of his eye and she has him wrapped around her paw. Needless to say she came to us and will be spending her life keeping us on our toes.

Fern is literally the sweetest dog and fell in love with "his boy" immediately. The feelings were definitely mutual and then Fern quickly won over his new mom as well as his new aunt.From wandering the streets quite literally missing a part of his leg to spoiled rotten and so loved. Stories like his are what makes me keep pushing forward when all I really want to do is throw in the towel and sleep in some days. Seeing a dog that didn't stand a chance at the shelter (was going to be immediately euthanized once caught) get an amazing home... That's what makes all of this worth it. 

When Morgan became a RAVE dog back in the middle of September she was pretty shut down. She had clearly been through a lot for such a young girl and didn't handle it well. She had severe trust and major confidence issues. She needed a special home that understands that she sometimes just needs a little extra reassurance and patience. A couple drove nearly 4 hours one way to meet Morgan. It went about as well as I expected... Morgan became overwhelmed and they didn't get to see the wonderful side of her we have over the past few months. But instead of giving up on her when it wasn't a immediate connection with butterflies and rainbows they opted to take her home and let her settle in. A trial run if we have to label it. She made her chance count and quickly won't them over once thy got her home!!

Leah now Vivi was one of the 7 puppies abandoned at a rural SC church. They were left with no food, water or shelter. Vivi went to her foster home 4 days later and stole the show. In less than 10 hours she won them all  over and was adopted. Happy tails and happy trails Vivi.

Eve was one of the 7 puppies abandoned at a rural SC church. They were left with no food, water or shelter. She met her forever family and won them over immediately. The kids were arguing over who got to hold her for the photo so we settled on Dad. Then again about who was going to hold her on the way home... So dad took his jacket off and made her a bed between them. Its safe to say she's going to be spoiled rotten.

Wheeler came from a SC shelter. He was listed as rescue pull only because he was reactive in the shelter. Once out he was a completely different dog. His dad drove 3.5 hours one way to meet him and it was love at first sight. They connected instantly. He's going to get to go on so many adventures with his new dad and daily hikes. Happy trails Wheeler boy!!

Pulling this guy from GCAC was a spur of the moment decision when I saw he was on the urgent list. He was shut down and absolutely terrified in the shelter.
He now gets to spend his life with his new parents and feline sister Monkey. Its his parents hope that soon he will get to go tomorrow with his mom and become the stores official mascot so he doesn't have to stay home alone.
I'm so happy for you Waylon hopefully things go to plan and you become your new moms store mascot! I hope to see you creating all the memories possible from here on. Happy trails and waggin tails bud! 🖤

From quite literally starving to death in a gas station parking lot to a family who fell in love with him instantly... Lucky lives up to his name. While he looks older he's only 2 years old which is a testament to how hard his life has been. However I have a feeling that soon he will be properly spoiled rotten. 

I've got some pretty exciting news. Damon our very mini pitty who was abandoned at a secluded dumpster with a soaked towel and cardboard box in 20° weather has been adopted by the Thompson-Harper family! Since it is quickly becoming our normal lol he was yet another foster fail.  

I'm so happy for him... He went from completely shut down and reactive to a happy go lucky guy with dog friends of his own now. While he still identifies as a feline lol his big brother ACE is slowly showing him that he is in fact a canine. Happy trails bud and keep your mom on her toes for me.

Oh happy day Caleb is the 3rd church puppy to find his forever family!!! He soaked up all the attention and made the most of his meet & greet. His new family was family blown away by how amazing these puppies are. They actually use our very clinic and personally know our vets which was a huge positive. I love knowing that our babies will get quality care and attention after they leave us.

Levi found a forever home he's the 4th of the Church Puppies to do so! A huge thank you to the Flynt family for fostering him as well as Caleb who was adopted yesterday. They went above and beyond to get Levi to his forever family today and I'm very grateful. Congratulations to the Schuler family on their newest addition. We hope they have many long years of memory making ahead of them!

Our little Luke has been adopted by his foster family!  He is the 5th Church Puppy to do so! Congratulations to the Hardeman on their amazing decision to foster fail this little dude with all the wrinkles! He's going to live a very spoiled life and best of all he right down the road and I'll get to watch him grow up. I'm so happy for you Luke!! 

While this adoption didn't work out long terms due to a temperamental feline, Maria spent a short time with a family that adored her immensely.

Well she did it... I knew she would. We get a lot of dogs into the rescue but so far there have been a handful that were something special. Chloe just so happens to be one of them. You can not help but love her... She literally doesn't give you a choice. In less than a week she stolen the hearts of her foster mom & dad as well as her godmom Alyssa! Happy trails ChloeBug. 

This little pocket rocket found his forever home. Oakley provided us all with lots of laughs in the short time he was with us. However he's exactly where he was supposed to be, his new mom loves him to pieces. She aasn't concerned at all about his areas that need work and was prepared with a plan and that made me feel good. I love a happy ending and I also love when fosters get to see the fruits of their labor... It gives them the opportunity to go... "That was possible because of me" and that feeling is amazing!

Ryder was scheduled to be picked up from his foster however his foster family realized they couldn't stand the thought of telling him goodbye. They've decided to keep him and officially make him part of the family. They said they don't own him but quite the opposite... He owns them. Congratulations Ryder you're in amazing hands, your mom has had her heart set on a hound for quite some time and I'm so glad we finally made that happen for her thanks to your personality. 

Zoey is a very special girl with unique needs and quirks. She has excelled in her foster home so what better place for her to live out her life!?! That's right Zoey is now officially part of the Bush family!!! She's finally comfortable enough to be Zoey and while she's not necessarily a easy dog her mom and dad love her anyway. They were too worried about the risk that a dog like Zoey faces if for some reason she wasn't placed in the perfect home. They couldn't stand the uncertainty of parting with her and decided to say furever. #FosterFails are the best.

Cupid now  found his forever home! He is now officially part of the Owen family! This is a first for us a litter of 3... 1 black, 1 black and white & 1 white and black... Yet Cupid our little black puppy found his home FIRST! I will never understand the stigma around black cats & dogs. It makes my heart happy to see adopters not let a coat color determine a animals adoptability. Happy trails buddy your new family adores you already and your about to be spoiled beyond your wildest dreams. 

Gabbie had her first meet and greet... and she ACED it! Her new family adored her but seriously, who can blame them? Gabrielle is everything anyone could ever ask for in a dog. She's sweet, loving, well mannered, great with kids, good with cats and dog... I mean she's the perfect package! Congratulations to the Drum family on their newest family member!!! Gabbie girl I don't think you'll ever have to worry about the shelter ever again. 

Xena found her forever family! She's moving up state onto a farm with her new fur sibling! Her pawrents saw her picture and knew she was the one. When they met her she stole their hearts with her sweet, calm and loving demeanor! Xena was such a well mannered girl I really wish more people could have met her but much like Gabbie... The first meet and greet she has was too perfect and she was adopted almost immediately. Congratulations to the Gidley family on their newest furchild. Xena you sweet girl I hope you have a life full of fun with your new family who seemed SO happy to have another dog to spoil rotten. Happy trails sweet girl.

Well they did it! After a LONG drive down from VA their  mom fell in love INSTANTLY. "Their new child" called her multiple times to see if she had his dogs yet?! I have a feeling these boys are going to be bouncing around with him in no time! I love seeing adopters who understand that sometimes the perfect match isn't right around the corner! I'm so incredibly grateful for the Ramos family on their TWO new additions to the family! The boys get to live out their lives together just like their original family wanted! 

Lloyd of the Yellowstone Litter, now named Ty short for Tiger has found his family! I can not wait to see what these beautiful babies accomplish with their new families! So happy for you Ty and your new best buddy! 

We didn't push this boy very much as well thought he would be a foster fail. However his fosters love fostering and the constant changes were just a bit too much for Mooch to handle. He had 3 applications and his new moms application stood out. She was the only person who actively had a trainer lined up to work through Mooch's issues due to lack of socialization at his original home. She drove all the way down from Columbia to meet him in his element so she could get a feel for his true personality. He is a lot of dog... Literally and figuratively. To everyone's surprise (not really though) she fell in love with him. He got to ride away in style in his new moms Range Rover how awesome is that? We are so happy for you buddy! 

Marias foster to adopt situation worked out about as well as it could have! She now has a mom and dad who adore her as well as a sister to play with! I was so hopeful that this placement would work out so that her original adopters could still keep up with her progress and even visit her whenever they want, I'm so happy it did! Maria you sweet girl I'm going to miss those eyes but I'm so incredibly happy that you know have a family of your own. You'll never go hungry or unloved again...happy trails you beautiful girl.

For those who helped with and followed Gloria's progress... She has been adopted!! Hannah is not only a AMAZING foster for us but she has a heart of gold. She found this girl and was determined to give her a second chance. I'm so happy for you Gloria ❤ Hannah never stop being awesome and RAVE will help you in any way possible!

Our floppy eared guy found his new family! Wilbur has officially joined the Clayton family. He has a a new fursibling named Sage and they hit it off immediately! I'm so happy for him and to think... A little less than 2 weeks ago he was on the URGENT list. All he needed was a less stressful environment and a little time to decompress which allowed everyone to see exactly how wonderful he really is. I'm so happy for you buddy you are such a lucky boy and I can't wait to see pictures of your adventures with your new family! 

Sweet Sweet Beth found her forever home! The Pritchett family said yes and made her part of their family. The Yellowstone puppies are finding their families one by one. 

Well this is a first...Andy has been adopted by a RAVE Foster. However he's not technically a #FosterFail because it wasn't his foster. Hannah Stover congratulations on your new boy I'm so glad Andy & Mae hit it off. Andy buddy here's to a life you've only ever dreamt about.

I couldn't make the announcement until her mom had the chance to meet her and as predicted it was a done deal. Sweet Summer from our Yellowstone litter has been adopted and is now part of the Bayus family! Sweet girl I'm so happy you'll be raised by a loving family and spoiled properly! Happy trails Summer.

Max has officially found his forever home. His new mom Sandy is in love with her grumpy little guy! It took him a few minutes but once he was comfortable he was happy soaking up all the attention she was willing to give him. He needed a calm environment and Sandys lifestyle seems perfect for little Mr Max. I'm so happy for you buddy because it seems like you have had quite the opposite of a relaxing life. Here's to retiring in style!

Mia from our Yellowstone litter found her forever home today!! She's going to get to go explore the world with her fur sibling and new parents! I am so excited to see what she accomplishes in live with her new mom because Mia really is a bright little girl with so much potential! Congratulations to the Bergin family on your newest addition!

Kayce from our Yellowstone litter has found his forever home with the Altman family. His new name is Twist. He's going to be spoiled rotten by his new mom who fell in love with him instantly. He was by far my favorite puppy marking wise. I can not wait to see how stunning he is when he matures into the handsome boy he's definitely going to be. Kayce buddy I hope you get to experience everything your little heart could desire with your new family!

Rosa has officially been foster failed! She will be remaining with her foster family as she has blossomed in their care. I love seeing updates of her playing in the backyard with her new fursiblings.

Naomi found her forever family and I couldn't be more pleased. She gets to be a equestrian farm, farm dog. She's already been on a "trail rife" around the property with her new mom. She's learning all sorts of new tricks and I love seeing her grow more confident by the day.

My sweetest Benjamin Buford Blue "Benji" has found his forever home. I could not have hand picked a better family. I kept saying I wish one of our friends would adopt him because I simply adore him. However I never expected it to be the friends that are more like family to actually adopt him. 

What started out as a joke quickly turned into a definite yes. Benji now Blue Boy is adored and already spoiled! He now has a canine brother and sister to wrestle with. He has a human brother who adores animals. He has a feline sibling to play tag with in the house. His new mom and dad simply love him and have already taken him for a checkup with their vet! 

This is why I do this and as hard as it is some days, this is what keeps me going. From a skinny infected little guy to a chunky loved little rascal with a personality you can't help but love. Happy trails buddy and I can't wait to watch you grow into the dog I know you're going to be!

Guys I'm so happy for this sweet girl. Lilo left us after exactly one week for the life she always deserved. I could not be anymore satisfied with her new family. Her mom adores Lilo just as much as we do. I can't wait to see what adventures she has in store for her. I have a feeling she's going to be ULTRA spoiled as her moms already been on shopping adventures without her just to prepare! 

I'm happy to announce that Abigail was adopted last month. More than that, she was adopted by a family who ADORES her. They have already scheduled her checkup with their veterinarian and have checked in with me numerous times to give me updates on Abby. 

Aphrodite "Dottie" was one of our 3 Valentines Day puppies that came in after a community member found them on the side of the road. They were infested with fleas and intestinal parasites. 

Her brother Cupid found his forever home almost immediately... however Dottie and Valentine "Val" were left wiating on their forever families. For the longest time there wasnt even a single application for either girl. Then it seemed the applications started to come in for Dottie but they were never the right fit. 

Then I received it... The application that made me believe she had a chance. I reached out to the family after processing their application. They were so excited to set up a meet and greet with her they wanted to come the very next day. Once they met her it was clear that she would fit in wonderfully and they took the plunge. 

I've spoke to them since and learned that Dottie has fallen head over heels for her new mom. She's living her best life and I cant wait to see what adventures she gets to enjoy with her new pawrents. 

Scarlett & Mellie came into the rescue with their siblings at barely 3 days old. They were in VERY VERY VERY bad shape... Scarlett and Mellie were unfortunately the only 2 that survived. They were raised by their amazing foster mom with the help of a few very special felines who adopted the girls. 

Mellie has suffered from health problems off and on making myself and her foster mom concerned about her final destination. We were concerned about sending her somewhere that wouldn't take her issues as seriously as they need to be. After talking things through her foster mom decided to take the plunge and say furever. After all who could possibly love the little princess more than she does?  

Scarlett had so many applications but we were honestly very selective with her adoptive family. With her sister having so many known medical issues we wanted a family that wouldn't give up on Scarlett if she developed something in the future. We also needed a hound experienced family as shes very much a coonhound... Well we found it! I was able to put her foster mom and her new mom in touch, they were able to meet and have even decided to have playdates with the girls so they still get to see each other!

ROLA HAS FOUND HER FOREVER FAMILY!

They fell in love with our sweet senior girl and honestly who can blame them? While she is a bit older she is young at heart. She loves people, snuggles and going for walks. 

She made herself at home and I can't say I blame her either. Her foster, now adoptive family is amazing. Their #1 priority has always been Rolas happiness and well being. She's become a spoiled princess and that's all we can ask for any of our dogs. 

Congratulations sweet girl you get your happy ending and I am so incredibly thankful to have been a part of that.

Our larger than life girl Odessa has been adopted! 

Ensuring that Odessa was happy and comfortable in her forever home was our #1 priority which is why we along with her adopters opted to do a foster to adopt. They fell in love day one but we all know the honeymoon phase can end pretty quickly. However much to everyones relief with time things only improved. 

When I received the message asking if they could make it official I was hit with so many emotions. The biggest being relief because I've been holding my breath and crossing my fingers praying that she would never have to be moved again as it was taking its toll on her emotionally. 

I could not be anymore pleased with her final destination as her new family has kept me updated every step of the way. They were honestly one of the most prepared and realistic adopters I've ever worked with. 20/10 recommend them to any rescue. Congratulations big girl you deserve this more than I can even put into words.

This announcement is one of the happiest moments and yet still my heart breaks knowing that hes no longer my naughty fish.... Flounder now named Spencer has officially been adopted.
From the moment I laid eyes on him and his brother I have loved them both. Watching them fight day in and day out only caused that love to grow. Losing his brother just made him that much more special to me. Knowing that the family who now gets to call him theirs is one that understands how incredibly special he is... Well thats more than I ever dreamed was possible.
The day I processed their application... Which was ironically his first and only application I was SEARCHING for any red flag possible. I went into overprotective mom mode and opened the application honestly expecting to reject it...fully prepared to find any flaw at all.
Only when I started reviewing it... I saw the opposite, it was an INCREDIBLE opportunity for him. The type of home I wish all of our dogs got to experience. I was honestly blown away and part of me thought maybe its too good to be true. However in the following weeks as I talked to his new mom I realized that it really was the perfect situation. Then the moment I saw him sit infront of his new dad only to toss his head back and smile up at him... Thats the moment I knew that life as we'd known it was changing.
My little fish has grown up and was ready for his new journey in life. Little does he know that I will ALWAYS be his biggest cheerleader and I'm so proud of everything hes become. He will always be my naughty little fish and he left a huge pawprint on my heart that I'll forever treasure. Hes the reason I do what I do... Because no dog deserves what he went through and yet hes the sweetest most happy go lucky dog you'll ever meet. Swim safe little buddy.

*Will update story/photo when I am able unfortunately the website is a constant work in progress!!

Hey Casey! Bowie is officially named Duke! He has been so happy and such a blessing! He knows so many commands already and has loved every single person he has met! He's VERY popular in public. He's been adjusting wonderfully, he's eating, going to the bathroom, and playing hours of fetch a day and then sleeps all night long next to my bed. He's been a great addition to our lives! Thank you for saving him and letting us adopt him. We LOVE him! "

For those who do not know Bowie was a stray taken into GCAC, as adorable & perfect as he is... he was still on the euthanasia list. Now he gets to live his life to the fullest with the best paw-rents ever! 

 Lucky was a dog that was previously listed online to be rehomed by his old owners. He was said to be 14 years old, great in a family oriented environment, laid back but playful and house broken. There was no explanation as to why they no longer wanted him though.

When I saw Lucky this past week he was listed as a owner surrender at GCAC. I added him to the collage and felt that it was a long shot but I had to at least try to find him a safe place to land.

Lucky for Lucky, a past RAVE adopter (Lilos mom) is a senior lover herself. She has been looking for the perfect small breed senior to add to their family and I had completely forgotten she asked me to keep my eyes open for one. She took the lead and reached out. She told me she was interested in more information on Lucky because she adored his picture.

I reached out to GCAC and was informed that he was not only a owner surrender but he was actually a euthanasia request. I was told he walks a little funny but otherwise seemed fine so the shelter requested a evaluation by their veterinarian. The evaluation determined as follows:

Assessment-
Heartworm negative - 16 lbs
Suspect spinal cord disease such as IVDD in the thoracolumbar region causing neurologic defects
Lucky is very happy and gets around ok.
Patient only seems mildly painful and although he does walk abnormally he gets around quite well. Very sweet boy. Recommend for rescue.

Long story short after talking to the shelter and then to Ann it was determined that since it was her birthday that it was maybe a sign he was supposed to be with her. She was unable to go get him over the weekend so we started to look for him a short term foster.

Thankfully one of the amazing ladies from the shelter offered to take him home with her for the weekend. She sent us so many pictures and details we might need to know about his personality. I am so grateful for amazing humans like her that not only work animal rescue but take their work home with her because her hearts so big.

I am happy to report that Lucky now Leroy went on adventures this weekend and revealed that he is very much the drama if he feels "abandoned" outside for anymore than 4 minutes. He is in fact house trained and he enjoys a good nap. But for what he is... He seems like a perfectly happy go lucky old man who enjoys adventures and the finer things in life. Happy trails little guy heres to living your best golden years!

Sweet Rosie has been adopted. I didn't make the announcement because last time her "forever family" gave up on her somewhere between the 24 & 36 hour mark. Now this family, by day 3 were asking for the adoption contract since we are requiring foster to adopts for our adult dogs. I can not express how happy I am for this girl and her million dollar smile. 

Muffin and Lemon found their forever home "together" in the same loving family. It's truly heartwarming because Muffin is Lemon's mom, and they were both adopted by a mother and daughter duo. Isn't that just amazing?Muffin and Lemon found their forever home "together" in the same loving family.

Muffins' new mom had tirelessly visited numerous shelters and rescue events over the past week, in search of the ideal furry companion to complete their loving family. Fortunately, destiny intervened when Lemons' new mom asked her if she had seen Muffin on PetFinder, the meet and greet was setup and it was an instant connection that sealed the deal. Here's to years of cuddles to come!

My tiny Little Chip is embarking on a journey to join a caring family who has been anxiously looking for a small male puppy to bring into their loving home. His new momma sees his status as the only male in the litter as destiny, and I couldn't concur more! He was the puppy that worried me the most when he first arrived, but now he has not only bounced back but is fearlessly tackling every challenge and new experience that comes his way.

Rosie, formerly known as Cranberry, is about to embark on a journey filled with love, pampering, and endless adventures. Her new mom is overflowing with joy and excitement as she welcomes this precious addition into her life. Plans for shopping excursions and fun outings have already been made, with a few surprises set to arrive in the mail tomorrow. It's clear that Rosie is going to be showered with affection and attention, making her the center of attention wherever she goes. From camping trips to cozy nights at home, Rosie is sure to be treated like royalty, truly becoming the princess of every setting she graces.

Our precious little Banana is embarking on a journey to Georgia, and a part of me ponders if she will be bestowed with the name Peach, which would undeniably be utterly charming. I am eagerly anticipating the unfolding of her new chapter with her loving adoptive parents. I am certain that countless moments of warmth and affection await her, and I cannot fathom who will relish them more. Her mother is an absolute gem, and I am confident that our little Banana will become the very heart and soul of their universe.

Strawberry was lucky enough to find her forever family rather quickly, but today marked the special day when they finally came to meet her and take her home. Initially, they were considering adopting Muffin, but I had a gut feeling that Strawberry was the perfect match for them. I truly believe that she will exceed all their expectations and bring so much joy into their lives. Strawberry has always held a special place in my heart, being such a smart and loving puppy. I am eager to see the new tricks and habits she will learn in her new home. Her new family is incredibly kind, and I have no doubt that she will be able to bring them comfort and happiness as they heal from the loss of their beloved four-legged family member.

Pumpkin embarked on her journey to her forever home in Georgia. Although bidding farewell to my little gremlin was tough, I take comfort in knowing that she will be showered with love and pampered endlessly. Her new mom was immediately captivated by Pumpkin's charm, and who can blame her? Pumpkin is an absolute darling.

What's even more exciting is that Pumpkin's new mom and her sister Banana's mom are friends, which means they will have plenty of play dates together! I can't wait to see all the updates and pictures of these two lovely girls.

Sweet Baker embarked on a new journey towards brighter horizons. We all hold onto the hope that in a more peaceful setting, we will witness him flourish into the dog I catch fleeting glimpses of every now and then. He truly is a gentle soul, just incredibly... delicate. While Baker may still show some hesitance towards unfamiliar situations and faces, his affectionate nature shines through, as he wholeheartedly tries his best. 

He is slowly getting used to the idea of baths, being brushed, and having his face handled. It's a bit overwhelming for him at the moment, but he's making progress. Once he feels more comfortable, a relaxing spa day at the groomers is in store for him, courtesy of the rescue organization. His dad is understanding of the fact that he may be a doodle mix, but the shedding is definitely a challenge they will tackle together. 

Cherry, the last Mini Muffin, has found her forever home. It took quite a while for this moment to arrive, as Cherry was constantly overlooked due to not being the tiniest, the fluffiest, or the most outgoing. However, her dad saw beyond all that and showered her with the time and patience she needed. 

I must say, the saying "dynamite comes in small packages" perfectly suits her. She is completely captivated by her dad, and it's evident that he feels the same way about her. I can already envision countless beautiful memories awaiting them. Congratulations, little girl, on your well-deserved triumph!

Praline has now found her forever home and her new momma absolutely adores her, just as much as I do. She understands Praline's strengths and weaknesses, yet loves her unconditionally. 

It truly baffles me why nobody was willing to give Praline a chance before, but I firmly believe that she has finally found her rightful place. The lifestyle and household she will now be a part of couldn't be a more perfect match for her. 

In fact, their neighbor, who is a genuine angel, accompanied Praline's new mom during their initial meet and greet to ensure that it would be a harmonious fit for everyone involved. During the day, while her mom is at work, the neighbor actually lets Praline out to potty and play. To conclude this heartwarming tale, it's worth mentioning that the neighbor herself has two rescue dogs who have also come from similar situations, and she is providing invaluable support to Praline's new mom every step of the way.

I have some happy news to share with everyone!!! Hunter has been adopted!!! He was finally given a chance to shine and shine he did!! He was adopted by a friend of his foster mom and we couldn't be happier knowing he's going to grow up spoiled rotten. He has a be big sister named Zoe who look like a older version of Hunter.

Marcel has found his forever family. He has completely blown his foster to adopt family out of the water with how intelligent and loving he is. He's loving life with his new fur sibling and his human siblings. He also gets to hang out with chickens although his favorite thing is definitely his siblings water guns.

His new name is Goose which is iroic since he is actually terrified of geese. His new mom and I had quite the laugh about that.

Huntleigh is officially adopted! She was a foster fail (my favorite type of "failure") and will be staying with her with her mom and her siblings that she matches oh so well. She gets to go to markets and festivals with her mom to sell crafts and jewelry! I can not wait to see what other adventures this sweet girl gets to go on with her new family.
