Happy New Year and Happy New Life to Apollo, now Scrappy Doo who has found his forever home!
Apollo came to us three weeks ago from a high kill shelter in North Carolina.
We boarded Apollo at the vet for a week so he could get "the works" and help dogs from the "list" buy some time. He then made his way to a foster home here.
A couple was visiting family here at the beach over the holidays and saw Apollo on Facebook and fell in love with him. They had lost their dog, Clydesdale in 2024 and missed having a dog in their home.
The couple waited patiently while we processed their application and made sure Apollo would have the best home all the way in Des Moines, Iowa!
He travels well so we didn't have to worry about the long car ride and his mom bought him an air tag for the trip.
Apollo and his family, Angela and Jeremy arrived home tonight. He went from the beach to snow and already loves it!
I truly believe our late dogs send us new dogs to help mend our broken hearts. Clydesdale sent Apollo at just the right place and right time.
Thanks to everyone who had a part on Apollo's journey.
Have a great new life with your awesome family, Scrappy Doo!!
Happy Gotcha Day, Sasha!
Sasha came to us about six weeks ago, mangey, scared, and unsure of her future. She had obviously been on her own for a while before entering a shelter, and how terrifying that must have been for a small dog like her.
We happily took Sasha in, got her to the vet, and into a quiet home that was perfect for her.
Sasha and her foster mom became fast friends as it is just the two of them and it wasn't long before they decided to stay together forever! yay!
Thank you, Susan, for fostering and adopting!
Have a wonderful new life, Sasha!
Happy Gotcha Day little Edelle! (now Charlie)
Edelle came to us about a month ago after entering a local shelter. He desperately needed a dental and vetting updated but otherwise seemed to be a healthy senior guy. We asked one of our foster families who loves senior chihuahuas and they stepped right up.
Upon Edelle’s arrival he and a few of the resident dogs came down with kennel cough and needed vet care but now everyone is healthy and happy.
Today, Little Eddie, now Charlie joined his family officially. He joins PLP dogs, Asher, Paulie, and Piper plus has a brother Marty.
Thank you Don and Kathy for fostering and adopting the seniors. You are special people.
Have a great new life little Charlie and never look back!
We are delighted to announce that Mia has found a forever home.
Mia was placed in our care roughly a month ago after her owner could no longer keep her. She had been purchased from a backyard breeder and had never been to a veterinarian. We addressed all of her medical needs and anticipated a high level of interest in this tiny, sweet girl.
When Mia was ready to find a family, her foster family realized they would like to adopt!
Thank you, Mandy and Robert for adding this precious girl to your family!
Have a great life, Mia!
Happy Gotcha Day, Gebby!
Gebby, (now Ronin) joined us in late May after he was euth listed in a North Carolina shelter at just a puppy.
He went to a foster home and received all of his vet care, but we were asked to find a new foster family for him. No one offered so he went to our friends at Dog Boarding at the Beach.
Gebby took a little time to settle in, as he was scared and had some anxiety, but he soon realized he was safe and could have LOTS of fun here! Gebby gets to go on hikes, enjoy frozen buckets, and have lots of playtime and enrichment!
The owners of DBATB fell in love with Gebby, and decided he was the dog for them and today we made it official!
Thank you, Holly and Chris, for adopting our boy and giving him exactly what he needs. You are angels!
Congrats for finding your forever family Ronin!
We couldn't be happier for you! Have the best life!
