A detailed close-up portrait of Jerry, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a rich, dark coat. He is sitting on a grey tiled kitchen floor, gazing intently forward with a soft and engaged expression. Strong, warm sunlight from the side illuminates the muscular structure of his face and the sheen on his smooth fur.

10 years ago. Jerry was a Staffie we fostered who was totally withdrawn. I spent the first night sleeping on the kitchen floor with him after he slowly approached. From then on, he was incredibly loyal and a total softie with us and our dogs. 🐾 (1/3)

A detailed close-up of Casey, a tan and white Jack Russell Terrier, from 2015. The dog is sitting upright on a dark leather armchair, looking alertly toward the left of the frame. The strong sunlight highlights the texture of her short coat and the leather. Next to her is a colorful, patterned patchwork pillow with tassels. The background is a warm red wall.

A 2015 flashback. This little JRT is Casey, who we fostered for a while. Looking at the camera like a tiny supervisor! A little gem and a sweetie. Hard to believe this was 11 years ago. Fostering is so rewarding. 🐕✨

Why We Keep Fighting for Abandoned Animals Animal rescue is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever been a part of—but it’s also one of the hardest. It’s emotionally exhausting, physically demanding, and often financially draining. There are days when it feels like no matter how much you give, it’s never enough. We see things most people don’t: animals abandoned, neglected, sick, or injured—completely dependent on someone stepping in to care.

One tiny 3-week-old kitten, found behind a funeral home, covered in fleas & barely breathing, reminded me why we do this. She was on death’s door—but thanks to a team of kind hearts, she survived. These are the moments that keep us going. 💙 #AnimalRescue #FosterLife #WhyWeRescue

I’m convinced Soleil may be one of the most photogenic dogs in existence.

It seems as though our new foster dog may have an affinity for baby dolls… 😂

Two orange tabby kittens with long hair are snuggled together on a person’s lap. One kitten, with darker orange fur and white markings, is lying on top of the other, who has lighter orange fur and a mostly white face. Both kittens are relaxed and looking toward the camera with sleepy, content expressions.

Creamsicle chaos with a side of snuggles.

Look at those pretty gold eyes, his sister Sage is the same color coat and eyes. She might be a bit fluffier as she grows up.

Foster Bonnet got fixed last Tues, when Chris came home with her we had two surprise foster kittens. Sage and Cedar, they are very soft and very purry. Cedar is in the blue collar because they look so much alike. 1/3 #KittensOfBlueSky #CatPics #CatDad #FosterLife
