One day my mom came and seen my sad eyes and knew she had to have me as her best friend. I am a sweet loving boy who have severe separation anxiety when I’m away from my family.

  — Megan R.

• “Buddha is LBs brother, both rescued at 3 months old and turning 5 in 2025. Buddhas had eye issues since he was little. He started going blind as a pup and is now for the most part fully blind. He knows how to high five, just be careful where your face is (since he can’t see- his paw might miss your hand and you don’t want him to accidentally scratch your face!) He snorts like a pig, loves belly rubs, and his brother does a great job keeping his eyes clean from goop!“

  — Izzy H.

I LOVE humans, and sometimes get over-excited and jump on them.  I may have had some setbacks, but surgery put me back on my feet, and I’m not letting it slow me down! If you see my humans being extra gentle with me, it’s because I had a spinal disc rupture completely in my cervical spine causing me to be tetraplegic. We rushed to the ER and it favorite neurologist fixed me good as new (with some activity restrictions!)“

  — Mallory B.
