🐾 Day 215 with Grace 🐾

Grace barked today—for the first time in months. Not out of fear, not because of noise outside… but because she was excited. The mailman waved at her, and she wagged her tail so hard she couldn’t help but let out a single, happy bark. I actually froze for a second—it was such a bright sound. It wasn’t the bark of a scared dog. It was the bark of one who finally feels safe. #Pets #Dogs #AdoptDontShop

Mattie is ready for her happily ever after! After a very rough start in a puppy mill, this sweet 2-year-old Shih Tzu has officially been cleared for adoption—and she’s making up for lost time in the best way. When Mattie first arrived, her entire back end was shaved due to painful scabs. But after a full exam and bloodwork (all normal!), this brave little girl is healing beautifully and absolutely thriving in her foster home. Mattie has discovered how wonderful love can be. She adores being close to her foster mom and dad and gets along great with the resident pups. She’s both potty pad trained and doing great going outside in a fenced yard. Now all she needs is a forever family to call her own 💕 Contact us directly with your location for more info on adoption.#4luckypaws #dog #adoptadog #dogrescue #adoptmeplease #adopt #adoptasenior #rescuedog #smalldog #AdoptDontShopVA #adopt #adoption #adoptdontshop #adoptdontbuy #adoptapet #adopadog #adoptthisdog #adoptme #rescueme #rescueadog #saveadog #saveme #euthanasia #foster #fosteradog #fosterthisdog #fosterananimal #euthlisted #share #sharethispost #urgent #savingHokeAnimals #HokeCountyNC #Volunteer #ambassadorsofhokecountyanimals #communitysupport #DonationDrive #Nonprofit #NorthCarolina #WishlistWednesday 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘
