Absolutely gorgeous! Should be on a magazine cover! Prayers for the perfect home 🙏❤️
Cutie. I got the shyest most timid dog from the shelter 1 1/2 years ago. He is perfect and his love is unconditional. Amazing the love difference between him and the 4 year old dog I've had since she was 6 weeks old.
Beautiful boy!!
Today, our investigations team found themselves stuck in the snow near a local church when their van slid off the road—but thanks to the kindness of church members and a generous community member, we were soon back on the road! With their help, we were able to continue our mission of helping pets and families in the area.
Moments like these remind us that compassion isn’t just for our furry friends—it’s alive and well in the hearts of people, too. Thank you to our amazing community for always showing up when it matters most! 🐾❤️ #CommunityStrong #HelpingHands #Grateful
