🐾 BEAUTIFUL IN BLACK 🖤
🖤 Today's Beautiful Soul 🐾

Meet Diego!
Diego is a 3-year-old terrier with the sturdy build of a "velvet hippo" and the confidence of a dog who's never once checked a scale. Right now he's carrying about 15 extra pounds—5 down, 10 to go! 😅 We laugh about it, but the truth is Diego could really use a dedicated diet and... a few less cookies. (Exercise. We meant exercise. 😉)

Despite his plus-sized situation, Diego is absolutely convinced he's a tiny, portable lap dog. Personal space isn't something he believes in, and if you sit down, he'll happily volunteer himself for cuddle duty. He is deeply affectionate with his people and is happiest when he's close enough to lean against you—or preferably, right in your lap.

Diego can be a little suspicious of strangers and does best with a confident adopter who can advocate for him and politely let well-meaning people know that he'd rather skip introductions. Once you've earned his trust, you'll have a fiercely loyal best friend who will keep you laughing every single day.

With someone who understands him, is committed to helping him continue his weight-loss journey, and appreciates a dog with a big personality, Diego will make an incredible companion. He's part watchdog, part lap warmer, and 100% convinced his favorite place in the world is right beside his person.

And ideally... nowhere near the cookie jar. 🍪❤️

His adoption fee is WAIVED during our BEAUTIFUL IN BLACK campaign!

If you've been thinking about adding a new best friend to your family, now is the perfect time.

🖤 Come fall in love.
🖤 Come change a life.
🖤 Maybe even your own.

🐾Remember Alvin, Theodore, Emmy, & Dewey?🐾

You may remember this adorable little family—even if you don't quite recognize them! Just a short time ago, these sweet puppies came to CARE in desperate need of medical attention. Emmy and Dewey were both in critical, life-threatening condition—severely emaciated, covered in painful skin infections, and fighting just to survive.

💛 Here's their original rescue story: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Buf51BxNU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Today... just look at them! 😍

After weeks of medical treatment, nutritious food, endless love, and the incredible support of our CARE family, all four puppies have made a remarkable recovery! Their coats have grown back, they've gained healthy weight, their playful personalities have blossomed, and they're finally ready for the next chapter of their lives.

🎉 The best news? Emmy and Dewey have found a wonderful foster home together- Hopefully soon to be a foster-fail! 😁

Now it's Alvin and Theodore's turn! These handsome boys are healthy, happy, full of love, and patiently waiting for families to call their own. 🐶🏡

Stories like theirs are only possible because of compassionate people like you. Every donation, every share, every encouraging comment, and every ounce of support helps give animals like these a second chance when they have nowhere else to turn.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with CARE Animal Rescue and making miracles like this possible. 💛 We truly couldn't do it without you.

Now let's find Alvin and Theodore the forever homes they've been waiting for! Please share this post so their future families can see them. Every share could be the one that changes their lives. 🏡💕
