This is Pinto. She was in foster when she began coughing and struggling to breathe. She was rushed to the ER, where vets found she had severe pneumonia. Without emergency hospitalization and oxygen support, she would have suffocated. Help her below ❤️‍🩹

This is Pioppi. He didn't pop up for any particular reason, just likes looking at you. 13/10 (IG: pioppibluestaffy)
a blue staffy pokes his head up above a piece of furniture, front paws resting on a bit of white fabric. his ears are out wide, and his eyes glint with a hint of mischief as he smiles a closed-mouthed grin your way.

My dear girl. 💖
You have many, many amazing bluesky friends helping you find your forever adult only home. You might have a cat sibling. 😺 no dogs. It will happen. I won't stop until you do. Adopt MELIA

This is Luna. She faked having a paw injury after her human hurt their leg. Figured they felt silly hopping around like that and thought it'd be less embarrassing if she did it too. 13/10 (IG: claassenam)

🥺 Sad eyes, sad face, only 3.5 years old, over 852 days waiting for that right person to adopt her. MELIA is just a playful, sweet, smart, fun, loving dog. Needing a Calm adult only home. No dogs.
