“Move Tommy, they have work to do!” 😂

One minute of pure happiness…

I think our pup just found his place in the pack and Something tells me he’s going to be leading it someday. ❤️

He will be available for adoption once we get to know him better in the next few weeks so stay tuned on our website!
I hope you all have an amazing week and please welcome Turbo to the pack ❤️

called Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy, which causes cloudiness over time but don’t worry, it’s not painful. His vision is currently good, and simple daily eye drops help slow progression.
The best part? Turbo has no idea he’s “special needs.”�He just knows how to love.

At just 1 year old and around 75 lbs, this cream Shar Pei/Lab mix is pure love, silliness, and puppy joy.
He’s:�🐶 Great with other dogs�🤍 An expert cuddler�👶 Amazing with kids�🚶‍♂️ Loves walks and does well on leash
And those eyes… 💙 Turbo has the most unique eyes. He has a condition

Today it’s my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Turbo 🐾
My friend Sue from @PeiPeople reached out and asked if I could take him in and of course, it’s an honor to help this incredible boy find his forever home.
Turbo is proof that “special needs” really just means extra special.

Because of this community, dogs like King don’t just survive — they get a second chance at a real life.
Thank you for making that possible.

Every day they’re a little stronger, a little brighter, a little closer to the life they’ve always deserved. I cannot wait for the day King gets to run free with the pack, heartworm negative and fully healed.
And Lillie’s Lighthouse… this place exists because of you.

If a dog’s heart rate gets too high from running, playing, or stress. Then those fragments can cause dangerous blockages in the lungs.
The beautiful part is… heartworm is treatable. These dogs aren’t broken. They just need time.
King and his friends are doing amazing.

The treatment process is long, intense, and requires patience:�• It often takes several months�• It includes a series of injections to kill the worms�• And one of the most important parts… is keeping the dog calm
Why calm? Because as the worms die, they begin to break apart inside the bloodstream.

it’s because they’ve simply been unprotected in environments where heartworm is everywhere.
Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, and once inside a dog, the worms grow and live in the heart and lungs. If left untreated, it can be fatal.

especially in states like Mississippi where mosquitoes thrive year round. In some high risk areas, studies and shelter data show infection rates can be extremely high in certain stray populations, a large percentage of dogs test positive. It’s not because they’re “unhealthy dogs”…

some with severe skin issues. They’re all recovering at Lillie’s Lighthouse. They’re healing, getting stronger, and showing us who they really are. King especially is just pure soul.
Heartworm disease is incredibly common in dogs coming from the Southern U.S.,

King update 🐾❤️
About a month ago, we took in King 👑 He is a senior Akita with the kindest eyes, coming from a shelter in Mississippi; thanks to my friend Neely, who transported him along with four other dogs. Every single one of them arrived heartworm positive…

Such a beautiful first week with Junior. He’s already been such a light to the entire pack and our team here at the sanctuary, especially in my own life and soul. I feel incredibly blessed to be his dad and to give him this unique, wonderful life ❤️

This is what starting 6:30am pack walks look like. I start off with the first group of the rowdy kids and then Sara joins me with the rest of the pack 15 minutes after ❤️
It’s always much easier when the weather is what it is today 🌞

Every time I can't find my socks...😂

We are on the way! 🚌🐶🐶🐶

They have no idea what’s coming. They don’t know today is the day everything changes.
And I get to be there when it does. It’s going to be a beautiful day, especially for the dogs we are about to meet! 👏❤️❤️

I was so excited last night I could barely sleep.
Today’s a big one! Sara and I are taking the van, which means more room… which means more lives saved.
Nothing makes me happier than days like this. Knowing that because of today, a group of dogs will never spend another night in a shelter again.

Sometimes you just need to sit down in the grass and be smothered with love. I'd do this all day if we didn't have so much work to do around here 😂 ❤️

We all get pretty excited when the sun comes out to say hello!
I hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday and a great start to your week tomorrow ❤️

Little Bear snuggles 🐻
He can’t see the love but he can definitely feel it! 💯❤️❤️

Take a deep breath.
Stand a little taller today.
The world needs the light that only you can bring.
Have a beautiful weekend.

Happy Saturday. ❤️
May you remember the love that you are.
The strength you carry in your bones.
The courage that’s already beating in your chest.
No matter what you’re facing…
You were built to walk through fire and still choose love.

Kendrick is safe ❤️
Huge thank you to everyone involved with this rescue and to all the people who did everything they could to save Kendricks life! I love him already, he’s such a special boy.
