Forever Foster Millie, a retired lab testing dog we saved back in April of 2020, has been slowing down lately in her super senior years. It’s been a peaceful decline where she’s been eating less and sleeping more each day but still enjoying her favorite things like being outdoors in the sunshine. While Millie remains comfortable, it’s a heavy-hearted time for her foster family and all who love her so dearly to know that the time may be coming near. If only these special souls could live forever 🩷 (fb)

Meet Steve, our newest senior straight off the euthanasia list at an overcrowded shelter 👋 Because he needs more medical care than the shelter had resources for in order to make him adoptable, he was at risk. As a stray, we don’t know an exact age but he’s clearly senior in years. Steve will need a full vet workup and hopefully bloodwork will clear him for surgery to tackle his remaining rotten teeth, his neuter, and the removal of a tumor next to his anus, even with a high grade heart murmur. It’s been a very busy and overwhelming day coming off a week-long hold period at the shelter and meeting so many new friends in his foster home, but Steve is taking it all in stride. For an older guy with a potential vision deficit in one eye and at just 6lbs, he’s proven he can hang with the best of them and has no trouble climbing stairs or climbing on your leg for pets. He is friendly with all animals and will make a great companion when he’s ready for his forever home! Huge thanks to several supporters who had birthday fundraisers recently (like 8-year-old Rocco who got to name Steve), along with a very generous donation/company match (shoutout to Iris G.) that allowed us to save Steve’s life and feel confident we can fund all his needs. 💙 (fb)
