Please take a moment to join us in celebrating Warhol‘s 10th birthday!!! 💙🎂🐶🤍
A year ago, this boy was living his life in the shelter, and because of his medical needs he was given a deadline at PBCACC. We immediately jumped into action and put him in our Last Chance Dog project in partnership with we secured a foster and were able to save his life. His second Foster turned out to be his forever family, and we are so so grateful because people cared enough. This boy is living his best life with the best parents and siblings he could ask for he is part of a family and he has loved beyond. Getting these pictures today brought tears to my eyes and just made me so happy to see him with the biggest goofiest smile celebrating his 10th birthday!!! 🎂 so please wish Warhol the happiest birthday!!! And please thank his mom and dad and sisters for making him part of the family!
This is our why 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Betsy 🧡went into foster care months ago and we took her under our wing for the last chance Dog project in partnership with PCACC . After a few  disappointing events where she was overlooked. I believe it was at that time Foster mom could not imagine her life without Betsy in it. She officially became a Foster fail last week.!!!!🩷🩷🩷

🥹Sweetest boy Fred, formally Scott at the shelter was in our Life with Reef's Operation Homeward Bound last chance dog project. He literally is EVERYONES FAVORITE ❤️ GUY.
He landed the jackpot becoming a foster fail with Caroline 💖 we only dream of having our dogs go into such amazing, loving homes! 🏠
💔Last week we learned some heartbreaking news that Fred is now battling Cancer. But we will not let this bring us down! We will do everything we can to help ease the burden of skyrocketing costs of his treatment. 🙏🏻
This gofundme was created by Caroline and us to try to raise funds to help Fred beat this!
🙏🏻So please share or possibly donate if you can, and together we can help Fred overcome this challenge!

Get those tissues 🤗🥰
Scott is officially a foster fail!! 😍
Scott’s foster, now mama is the kind of pawrent We dream of for our dogs!!! Literally PERFECTION 💙💙 This 9 yr old boy will be spoiled and pampered for the rest of his life!
Scott came into the shelter in awful condition, found as a stray abandoned and neglected 💔 on 1/2/25.
After 2 months of no interest we pulled him into our Last Chance Dog Project partnered with . 3/10/25
We immediately found a foster… a legit angel of a human and on 5/1/25 I received a beautiful message that The foster mama can’t live without this smush face and she’s adopting him! I mean he is the most adorable boy how can you not just fall madly in love!!?? It wasn’t in her plan, it wasn’t what she expected but it was what was meant to be!
Scott’s mama’s love letter 💌 ~
“Fostering through Operation Homeward Bound was the best experience; Stacey was always available for absolutely anything that I needed, and she made it so easy! I would encourage anyone who is on the fence about fostering to get involved with her program. The constant support and knowledge were invaluable. Stacey knows the dogs on such a personal level and brings so much expertise-if she tells you a dog is perfect, they absolutely are! I fell in love with Scott, who quickly became a foster fail! He is now spoiled and adored, and loves spending time hanging out at dog bakeries, eating yummy snacks, and destroying toys. “🧸
This is what it’s like to save a life !
I couldn’t be happier Scott found his happy beginning in the arms of an angel!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Caroline!!!!! We love Scott 💙to the beach and back!!!! Welcome to our family! 💙💙💙💙☮️
