Story
Sometimes, the universe steps in at just the right moment—and that’s exactly how Gin got his second chance. This sweet old man was brought to a vet by his previous owner to be euthanized, not because he was sick or suffering, but simply because he was “too old.” Heartbreaking doesn’t even begin to cover it. But fate had other plans: another client at the clinic overheard the conversation, intervened, and saved Gin’s life. That kind soul took Gin home and reached out to us to ensure he’d be safe, loved, and given the chance he so clearly deserves. We were more than happy to welcome him with open arms—because around here, we love our seniors.Gin is about 12 years old, a little gray around the edges, and sure, he’s got some arthritis—but don’t let that fool you. He’s still got plenty of pep in his step! He loves toys, leisurely strolls, and sunbathing like it’s a competitive sport. He’s got a curious spark and a deep appreciation for treats, and he happily soaks up all the attention he can get. He might not be scaling mountains or running marathons, but Gin still enjoys life with enthusiasm and dignity. He’s not just surviving—he’s thriving, and he’s ready to share that joyful little vibe with someone special.Gin would do best in a calm, loving home with someone who has experience with senior dogs and understands the beauty of slower mornings and soft landings. A comfy bed, a gentle routine, a kind voice, and someone to love—that’s all he needs. He’s a trusting, sweet soul who adores people and still has so much love to give. If your heart has a senior dog-shaped space in it, Gin would be honored to fill it. Give him the forever home he’s been waiting for—and the golden years he’s always deserved. Please inquire today!

Story
Oh, Abigail. There aren’t enough words in the world to capture how special this little girl truly is. She is the embodiment of sweetness—gentle, loving, and endlessly loyal. Abigail was relinquished to us after she was purchased from a backyard breeder and suddenly lost the ability to walk. What followed was a long journey of testing, vet visits, and consultations with specialists, only to discover she has a rare and severe spinal abnormality at T6-T7. Surgery wasn’t a safe option due to how uncommon and complex her condition is, but despite the unknowns, Abigail hasn’t let any of it dim her spirit.Though she cannot use her back legs, Abigail has learned to adapt in her own magical way. Her strong front legs help her scoot around, and she does so with determination, joy, and often a silly little sparkle in her eyes. She doesn’t know she’s any different—and we don’t think she is, either. She plays, snuggles, and seeks out love just like any other pup, and if you let her, she’ll nestle right into your arms and fall asleep with the softest sigh. Abigail would be a perfect companion for someone who works from home, as she thrives on closeness and loves nothing more than being near her person. She adores plush toys and has a playful side, and when puppies come into the rescue, Abigail becomes the honorary big sister—grooming them, cuddling them, and offering the most tender kind of love.Abigail’s care needs are simple: medication to keep her comfortable, gentle handling, and lots of love. She currently goes potty on her own, though it's possible she may need help expressing her bladder in the future. She doesn’t bark, but she makes the sweetest little sounds when she’s excited or happy. A home with someone experienced in caring for special needs dogs would be ideal, but most importantly, she just needs someone who sees her for who she truly is: not broken, not less—but beautiful, brave, and absolutely full of life. Abigail is one of those dogs who leaves a mark on your heart forever. If you believe in soul dogs, she might just be yours. Please inquire today and give this precious girl the life she so deeply deserves!
