Save Azul ! Foster and Rescue! To be Euthanized!

Azul is just 1.5 years old and 41.6 lbs. She was found alone on 7/12 and taken in by a kind stranger for a day. In that short time, she showed her sweet side: she took treats gently, allowed chin pets, was easily leashed, and walked to the car with hesitation but no fear-based aggression. She was calm in a crate, quiet, and not destructive. But once at the shelter, everything changed. Azul was so terrified that they used a catch pole/snare and she has struggled with fear and avoidance ever since. Her evaluations show a dog who’s overwhelmed — she’s tense, cautious, unsure how to trust. Because of this, Azul has been labeled “rescue only” and has a hard deadline of 7/27. 💔 Azul can feel the love from volunteers who stop at her kennel door. And volunteers — the ones who always try to win the trust of fearful dogs — see a spark of hope still in her. She leans in for gentle pets, even when afraid. She’s treat-motivated, knows “sit,” and clearly wants to believe in someone again. She just needs time, patience, and a quiet place to decompress ⏳ Time is running out. 🏡 Azul needs a committed foster and a rescue who sees her for who she can be. 🔗 Apply to foster: DOGFOSTER.ORG Her ID is #A5147892 She is about a year and a half and 41.8 lbs Read the shelter notes here: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/priority/Details/OTI2-NjIw-NTZB She is at the East Shelter: https://www.maricopa.gov/220/Locations-Hours #SaveAzul #RescueOnly #FearfulButWorthy #FosterNeeded #RescueDog #DogsKnow #VolunteersMatter #TrustTakesTime #FearfulDogDeservesLove #DeadlineDog #FosterSavesLives #HelpMe #SaveMeNow #Euthanasia #FosterPets #NewHopePartners #A5147892 #Mcacc #Azpoundpups #Dogfoster #azdogfoster #azfosters #Maricopacountyanimalcareandcontrol #Pets #SavingLivesToday https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/priority/Details/OTI2-NjIw-NTZB

Accidentally Adopted: Now I’m a Cat Parent

So, I went to the shelter just to ‘look around’ (famous last words, right?). Fast forward 24 hours and there’s a tiny furball currently using my laptop as a bed and my hoodie as a scratching post. I have no idea what I’m doing. Every time I Google ‘how to cat,’ I get conflicting advice. Am I supposed to let her sleep on my face? Is it normal for her to zoom around at 3am like she’s possessed? Why does she stare at me like she’s plotting my demise? If you’ve got survival tips for a clueless new cat parent, I’m all ears (and apparently, so is my cat). Drop your wisdom, horror stories, or just reassure me that I’ll eventually figure out how to open a can of food without causing a feline meltdown. #CatParentLife #FirstTimePetOwner #CatAdvice #PetStories #HelpMe #Pets

have you ever spilled soup on your date’s lap and then cried?

So, last weekend I went out with this guy I’ve been crushing on for months. We hit up this cute little ramen spot. Everything was going great until I tried to impress him by showing off my chopstick skills. Spoiler: I have none. I somehow managed to launch a whole scoop of soup straight into his lap. He jumped up, soup everywhere, and I was so mortified I actually started tearing up. He tried to laugh it off, but the damage was done. I spent the rest of the night apologizing and wishing I could disappear. Now I’m freaking out. Should I text him and apologize again? Or just let it go and hope he forgets? Anyone else ever have a date go this badly? Please tell me I’m not alone! #datingfails #awkwardmoments #helpme #relationshipadvice #RomanticRelationships
