🐾 Supervised socialization with compatible dogs
🐾 A fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play
🐾 Structured play, enrichment, and mental stimulation
🐾 Scheduled rest and nap times

May rain = muddy paws 🌧️🐾

This time of year, wet ground, puddles, and soft soil can leave your dog’s paws damp more often than usual — and that’s where a little extra care goes a long way.

Keeping paws clean and dry isn’t just about the mess. Moisture that sits between the toes or around the pads can lead to irritation, sensitivity, or even infections if it’s left too long.

Dry feet are especially important when:

• Your dog has been walking through wet grass or muddy areas
• There’s a lot of rain or standing water
• Your dog has longer fur between their toes that holds moisture
• You notice licking, redness, or sensitivity around the paws

A few simple habits can help:

• Towel off paws after walks
• Gently dry between the toes
• Keep a mat or towel by the door for quick clean-ups
• Stay on top of nail and paw care

Taking a minute to dry your dog’s paws helps keep them comfortable, reduces irritation, and supports overall paw health.

A little routine makes a big difference this time of year.

Be mindful of where your dog walks this time of year 🐾

Lawns, parks, and public spaces are often treated with:

• Fertilizers
• Pesticides
• W**d control products

These substances can stick to your dog’s paws and fur, and may be ingested when they groom themselves later.

Some dogs may be more sensitive than others, and repeated exposure over time can add up.

A few simple habits can help reduce risk:

• Wipe paws after walks
• Avoid freshly treated areas when possible
• Keep an eye out for posted treatment signs

Being aware of your surroundings helps keep your dog safer while still enjoying time outside.

SEE ME SUNDAY ~ OVER 2 years in rescue 💔 Lois.
3.5 year old shepherd cross lab

Lois is a dog who has been through more then she should have in her 3.5 years of life. We gave her a few months to settle in and decompress after where she came from. Shes been posted as available for over 2 years now.
But not one application :(

Lois is one of the dogs that Sato Saved End of the Line, got through the help of Mattie's Place after they convinced owner Shawn Bacher to surrender most of his dogs from "all for the dogs rescue".

Shawn was severely neglecting her and brother Clark along with many other dogs 💔 animal welfare did nothing. Property owners were shocked by what he was doing. Dogs living in cages for weeks. Sleeping in their own urine and f***s. Non stop barking for weeks. Dog fights. Being starved and dehydrated.

Clark had a lot more baggage and Sato had to separate them ultimately for Lois to have the best chance at adoption.

They were originally adooted out as a bonded littermate pair from hillside kennels that were struggling to get adopted due to no leash skills and unruly puppy behaviors like jumping up. They grew up on a farm being taken care of by immigrants who left in the fall leaving them scrounging for food.

They never fought, were very cuddly with each other and were almost chubby when they left the kennel.

The farmer called them in as strays but they were very affectionate for strays. Finding out the story after the fact. They loved each other.

Until Shawn got them...
When they returned they faught over food and wouldn't sleep on the same bed. Lois was skittish and hiding. Evidence of being attacked, scars all around her ears and neck..
Clark almost cost Lois an eye the 2nd day back.. They clearly weren't bonded anymore.

After all she had been through the last thing Sato Saved wanted was for her to end up back in a shelter, so she joined the rescue just before Christmas.. She has been in paid boarding then foster homes since then.

Lois is a very sweet dog who leans in for pets and wants to be with her person.
She is dog selective and can be reactive on her lead. Shes nervous more then anything.

She is not good with cats. If they're super dog savvy she will tolerate them under supervision.

She is good with children who are respectful. Suggested age 10+ just because she is a larger dog that jumps up when excited.

Her ideal home has a fenced yard. She would do best with an assertive but more laid back male dog. She has made friends with playful young females too. No small breeds or pocket pets.

She's a little nervous in the vehicle, she is fine for bathing but doesn't enjoy her nails clipped and needs a muzzle to keep it smooth. She can resource guard toys with other dogs which is why she's likely best on her own- or a dog savvy owner.

Lois would thrive on a farm or in a country home. City hussle and bussle isn't really her thing- that said she is really adaptable.

She doesn't "need" leash walks or dog friends. She's happy to live in a home that throws the ball for her in the yard everyday

She needs someone devoted to her forever- she doesn't ever want to bounce around again!

Her last foster tried setting her up for success but then bailed on her after forming a bond and it took her a good 3 weeks to adjust to her current foster home 😞

Lois is heartworm tested negative, on prevention, fully vaccinated, microchipped, Spayed, crate trained. House broken. She needs work on heeling and would benefit greatly from an obedience course if expected to walk on leash walks regularly.

Her adoption fee is $350.
If you sign up for post adoption training they will lower her adoption fee to $200

She comes with a leash and martingale collar, harness, food and some toys. Can provide a crate if needed as well.

If you'd like to adopt Lois please email an application to [email protected]

If dogs could talk, they’d probably tell us right away when something doesn’t feel quite right.

They’d point out the stiffness, the soreness, or the little changes in how their body feels day to day.

But since they can’t, they communicate in quieter ways.

A slight hesitation before jumping.
A slower pace on walks.
A shift in how they sit or lie down.
Maybe even changes in behavior or energy.

These small signals are easy to miss, especially when they happen gradually.

But paying attention to those subtle changes can make a real difference in supporting their comfort and overall well-being.

Our dogs rely on us to notice what they can’t say out loud.

Consistency matters more than intensity — especially when it comes to your dog.

It’s easy to think a long hike once in a while or a big play session makes up for quieter days… but dogs’ bodies don’t work that way.

Sudden bursts of activity can actually put more strain on muscles that aren’t used to it.

What really supports your dog long-term is:

• Regular, moderate exercise
• Predictable routines
• Gradual increases in activity
• Time to rest and recover

Just like us, dogs do best when their bodies are used consistently — not pushed all at once.

Small, steady habits add up to stronger muscles, better movement, and fewer setbacks over time.

Rescue dogs don’t just need a home — they need time 🐾

Time to adjust to new surroundings.
Time to learn they’re safe.
Time to trust a new family.

Every small step matters — the first relaxed nap, the first tail wag, the first time they truly settle in.

With patience, consistency, and a little understanding, they begin to open up… and when they do, it’s something special!

If you’ve welcomed a rescue into your life, you already know — it’s always worth it.

As a thank you for giving a dog a second chance, we offer $40 off your initial consultation and treatment.

Senior dogs deserve comfort.

They may slow down, but they still enjoy movement, routine, and connection.

As dogs age, their muscles and joints naturally become stiffer, and recovery can take longer. Supporting their mobility helps keep them moving more comfortably, which can make everyday activities — like getting up, going for walks, or even just changing positions — easier for them.

When movement feels better, dogs are more likely to stay active, engaged, and connected to their environment. That continued activity supports both their physical health and their overall quality of life.

Helping senior dogs stay comfortable isn’t about pushing them — it’s about supporting them so they can keep enjoying the things they love, in their own way.

🐾 Training and body maintenance go hand in hand 🐾

A dog that is learning, moving, building confidence, and staying active is also using their body every single day in important ways

That’s why I’m excited to partner with The Crunchy Canine - Dog Training 💛

From:
• Puppy socialization
• Basic obedience
• Private in-home sessions
• Agility and more

They are helping dogs build strong foundations — mentally and physically.

And because active, learning dogs benefit from proper muscle support too, clients of The Crunchy Canine can now receive a special coupon code during their training sessions for:

✨ $40 off their first canine massage therapy appointment ✨

Massage therapy can help support:
• Muscle maintenance
• Flexibility and mobility
• Recovery after activity
