New "tough" Go Dog chicken....6:08 later - de-squeaked and de-stuffed.
I have been fostering a little girl, Lexi, who was paralyzed by a car. It's very important that she plays like a big dog! I am also teaching her how to bark at everyone that walks by! I am getting her all set for her forever with Passion 4 Paws Vermont !
Why won't anyone play with me this morning?
Today Mom brought home a new friend, Fizgig. I must teach him about toys!
I just love my Momma too!๐
I just love my Dad!
Today I met Scooter from Scooter's Journey!
We also got to meet my brother with no ears - Levi
Happy Saturday morning! It's going to be an amazing day! First I woke mom up at 4:30 and then I helped her drink her coffee. Watch out world!
Another York Co, SC baby saved!
The face of hope ๐ Mama June was rescued from a dog fighting ring. She was forced to live in an outdoor kennel right next to the fighting ring. No wonder sheโs so shyโ we donโt even *want* to think about the horrific and traumatic things she had to witness and experience. She was forced to bend, but she is not broken. ๐
Thank you everyone who rescues a dog like me. You not only save one that life, you save another who is able to take their place in the shelter/rescue.
Love Levi

Today I had a quick play date with a really great guy! Orion spent a few hours playing with me before he headed out to find his forever with Philly Bully Team . Thanks for stopping by Orion and have a great life!
Hey! Abbi took my spot!!! And my bone!!!
Holy cow Abbi is a speed walker! We got our steps in today in record time!
Levi loves the ladies!
I FINALLY got a new girlfriend! Meet Abbi! She was surrendered to York County Animal Shelter over 120 days ago and now she's at my house! And she loves me too!
My people!
What an amazing group of volunteers we have! Today we had a record 8 walkers! All the dogs had extra time outside walking and playing. Thank you, thank you to all our volunteers that take time out of their busy lives during the week as well as on the weekends to spend time and love our deserving animals! A special thanks to Bonnie Hudgins for her time and dedication to our shelter. You will be dearly missed, but we are so excited for you! We wish you safe travels! If you're interested in joining this incredible group, just message us and we'll get you into an orientation class! Thank you all!!!!
Auntie Kara gave me ice cream!

Look what my dad made for sweet Pebbles! She has megaesophagus and has to stand up to eat so she doesn't choke. I'm so proud of my dad and I hope this helps Pebbles find a rescue and a forever home.
In or out buddy!
