Welcome Home, Boots & Zoey! 🐾
Last Friday was a landmark day as Boots and Zoey, formerly known as Mika, embarked on their long journey from Texas to New England. A huge shoutout to our stellar transport partners at Tigger's Texas Transport, LLC for making it all possible! By Sunday, they were snuggling up with their forever families, marking the end of a long journey and the start of a new chapter.
Zoey's New Chapter:
Zoey is loving her new life! Her new pal Augie can’t get enough of her, sticking by her side day and night, even sleeping outside her crate. They're exploring the world together with enrichment toys and leisurely walks. Zoey has quickly settled in, mastering commands like 'sit' and 'paw,' and she's a natural leader on the leash, showing Augie the ropes. This happy girl is running the show at home, adapting seamlessly to her family’s schedule and filling their lives with happiness.
Boots' Beachside Adventures:
The moment Boots’ new parents saw his profile, they knew it was meant to be. Their anticipation mirrored a child’s excitement on Christmas morning! Boots has made himself right at home, winning hearts with his playful spirit and goofy antics. His long, elegant legs have earned him the nickname "Bambi," especially as he masters the art of navigating slippery hardwood floors. Now living just a stone’s throw from the beach, Boots is quickly morphing into the ultimate beach boy, destined for a life filled with sand, sun, and fun.
These wonderful updates from their families are heartwarming reminders of the incredible lives these pups are destined to lead. Thanks to all who support and make these journeys possible! 🌊💕

🐾Essential Resources for Pet Parents, Shelters, & Rescues!🐾
I’m excited to share some amazing resources that can make a huge difference for pet parents, shelters, and rescues. When Lila needed her life-saving surgery, we faced financial challenges, but thanks to your generous donations, we made it through. During this journey, I discovered two incredible resources that I believe everyone should know about!
🌟 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥 🌟
Free Animal Doctor is a fantastic nonprofit crowdfunding platform for pets. Unlike traditional platforms, FAD ensures donations go directly to the veterinarian, providing a secure and verified way to help animals. They also provide personalized support to help promote your campaign on social media, emails, and more! With their quick response, you can get help within 24 hours to kickstart your campaign. Need assistance with your campaign? They’ve got you covered with creative and technical help! Their goal is to provide a new and unique way to raise money for animals in need. For more info, visit: https://freeanimaldoctor.org
💖 𝗪𝗔𝗚𝗚𝗟𝗘 💖
Another amazing resource is Waggle, a nonprofit dedicated to helping pet guardians and animal welfare organizations raise funds for sick and injured pets. Waggle is a trusted safety net for those lacking funds for essential veterinary treatment. They are mission-driven, ensuring money doesn’t stand between pets and critical care. Waggle offers various ways for animal lovers to support pets in crisis. Learn more at: https://www.waggle.org
These resources can be lifesavers for anyone facing financial hurdles in caring for their pets. I hope you find them as helpful as I did. Let’s keep supporting each other and our furry friends in need!❤️🐾

🌟 Lila’s Journey Home! 🌟
This has been months in the making. Although Lila’s adoption was personal and not handled through PIYHR, everyone involved deserves recognition for their efforts and dedication.
Over the past nearly two months, we faced numerous unknowns and hurdles, including three failed purse strings and one colopexy surgery. But baby Lila has finally made her way to me, Amala (owner of PIYHR).
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved—those who donated to Lila’s GoFundMe, shared her post, and supported her in any way possible. Lila thrived in foster care thanks to her wonderful foster parents, Christine & Scotty. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for these amazing people. While it was a bittersweet goodbye, thank you for trusting me with the next chapter of her life.
None of this would’ve been possible without Bastrop County Animal Services & Tigger's Texas Transport, LLC. They are the best, and having a personal dog come from these two places means so much more.
Shelter Pet Safety Net also played a crucial part in Lila’s journey by handling her health certificate, and a big thank you to Essential Vet Care and Central Texas Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital, who performed her surgery.
I know this post doesn’t acknowledge everyone, but please know your efforts don’t go unnoticed.
Thank you, everyone, for bringing Lila home! 🐾❤️

✨Exciting News: Boots Has Found His Forever Home!✨
We are overjoyed to announce that our sweet boy, Boots, has finally found his forever home! This moment is so special that we couldn’t choose just one picture—there are too many adorable ones to share!
Boots, with his amazing personality and loving heart, waited far too long for his chance at happiness. Despite being overlooked time and again, he never lost hope. It’s true what they say: good things come to those who wait. And for Boots, the wait was worth it.
A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to Jake and Angela for choosing to open your hearts and home to Boots. Your compassionate decision has given him a second chance at life, filled with love and joy. We eagerly await the moment you finally meet and begin your beautiful journey together! ❤️
While Boots has found a loving home, countless other dogs still need help. Shelters and rescues are struggling to cope with the increasing number of dogs in their care, and the futures of many of these dogs are uncertain. Boots’ fortunate escape from euthanasia stands in contrast to the plight of many of his companions, who are still eagerly waiting for a family or foster home to provide them with love and care.
If you’re unable to adopt, please consider fostering, volunteering, or advocating for your local shelters and rescues. Every bit of help makes a world of difference. 🐶💕

🐾 Meet Pandora! 🐾
Just like our sweet Lila, Pandora has been bravely battling a re**al prolapse and recently underwent the same surgery that Lila will be receiving tomorrow. She’s currently under the loving care of 4 Little Paws Rescue, based in Connecticut but with many of their furry friends residing in Texas. Right now, Pandora is in Texas, where our amazing rescue/transport partners, Ashley & Roland, are part of her dedicated team.
While we’re tirelessly working to reach Lila’s fundraising goal, Pandora also needs everyone’s collective support. Her medical bill stands at $4000, and so far, they’ve only raised $312. Every bit helps!
If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing her story. Your shares can make a world of difference! 💕🐶

🌟 Heartwarming Update Alert! 🌟
This evening, I received the most wonderful update from a former adopter who rescued a sweet pup from us back in July 2022. At the time, his name was Kaspar (a former BCAS pup), but now he’s known as Bandit. 🐾
Bandit’s family just made a big move to Florida, and he’s loving his new home with acres of land to explore and run around in! 🌴🏡 He’s living his best life and has even made a best friend—a playful ferret sibling! 🐕🤎🐾
It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Seeing our rescues thriving and happy in their forever homes is the greatest reward. ❤️
![](https://img3.findglocal.com/051/856/454486960518565.jpg)
Every move you make, every step you take, Penny is watching you!
Penny, formerly known as Sweet Lily, was adopted back in December when she was at risk of euthanasia. Now, six months later, she has flourished and come so far. We couldn't be happier to see her thriving! ❤️🐾
![Photos from Bastrop County Animal Services's post](https://img5.findglocal.com/731/108/453228397311088.jpg)
As many of you know, we work closely with the Bastrop County Animal Shelter, and they have many incredible dogs available for adoption. Some of these wonderful dogs have been waiting far too long for their forever homes. Please share and spread the word so we can help these deserving pups find the loving families they deserve.
Transportation is included in our adoption fee and for more detailed information on each dog please do not hesitate to reach out.

🎉Pup Update Alert!
Remember our charming low-rider, Gator, formerly known as Squatty? Adopted last summer, we thought he was a dachshund-lab mix, but surprise—it turns out he's a Great Dane x dachshund mix! 🤯 While we're scratching our heads about the logistics, one thing's for sure: he's undeniably adorable!
Here's the latest from his mom:
"I was just thinking of sending you an update on Gator. He’s doing great! Everyone loves him. He’s a big hit at the dog park. He has traveled with us to Montana and Florida on extended trips in our RV and did very well. He’s a good traveler.He loves car rides and even likes riding in a motorcycle side car. He’s learned to get along well with our cats and is especially fond of one of them, she lets him lick her face and sometimes they sleep together. Our other dog and him are best friends and hang out together all the time. We had Gator’s dna tested and you’ll never guess what he is. He is half dachsund ( no surprise) and half Great Dane! He’s still a bit reactive to dogs when leashed but he is improving and we’re working on that. He’s been a great addition to our family"

🌟 Pup Update!
Who remembers Mitzi, now known as Opal? Our adorable medium-sized mix found her forever home in August 2022 and is absolutely THRIVING! 🎉 Here's a heartwarming update from her mom:
“she is the queen of comfort and will spend all day on her chair barking at the squirrels or napping. She has a little sister now (Skye) and they are best friends. They do everything together and both bring us such joy.
We have been renting a little house on a lake since last year and she has been loving the outdoors and all the birds that come by. We recently just closed on a house so I'm excited for her to have a big backyard to play and bask in. I call her my agile adventure dog because she goes billy goating up rocks, hills and log piles. She even got into running with me - she's done up to four miles and never even looks exhausted.
I'm so happy she's been in my life and has brought so much joy to everyone she encounters!”
