Happy Gotcha Day, Lucy Lou! 
Lucy Lou ended up at the county shelter with three babies. She was Heartworm positive and had a cyst on her leg that needed to be removed. 
Her babies were soon adopted and we were asked to help scared little Lucy.
Lucy needed time to trust people.  She eventually let her walls down and started to relax. She also became best friends with Lexi, another Plp alum!
Her foster family decided they didn’t want her to have start all over again as she was so timid so she permanently joined the family last week. 
Congrats Lucy Lou! You will never be alone, living outside, or have babies again. 
Enjoy your new life where you will always be safe, warm and loved! 
Thanks Maria and family for fostering and adopting. 

Happy adoption day, Ross!! 
Ross was one of the three Dachshunds who were out in the Galivants Ferry area living in a chicken coop. We don't know why they were kept outside but thankful they contacted us. 
The pups were very scared and unsocialized, but we knew they would come around with a little work, love and patience. 
Ross is a shy boy, and his two brothers left the house to continue their journey. 
We were looking for a quiet home, with preferably another small dog and a fenced yard with someone who wasn't gone long hours.  Ross was accustomed to this and he still needed to learn a lot about "how to dog."
When Jacqueline (Jax) applied to foster, we were looking for more local homes but when she applied to ADOPT, well that was a different story! 
We had application after application come in, however, we kept going back to Jax's app.She had lost her male Doxie, Max about eight months ago and her female Dachshund, Ruby needed a friend. We felt out of everyone her scenario fit Ross's lifestyle the best. We felt she would give Ross the life he deserves!  
It actually reminded me of myself when i was younger with my two Dachshunds, a male and female. 
Have a wonderful life sweet Ross! We hope to follow you, watch you flourish, and we know you are in the best hands!
Jax, thank you for adopting our sweet boy and I hope you don’t mind we snagged some of your pics. 

Congratulations to Chandler who has found his forever home!
Chandler came to us in January when I got a call about three Dachshunds living in a chicken coop, and it was COLD outside. The next day I received their photo and put out a plea. A temporary foster stepped up for the three and the person holding them delivered them to us, thankfully.These puppies were so scared and unsocialized but also starving for love and affection, AND so happy to be indoors. Thank you Brenda! 

We began searching for separate foster homes as the boys were starting to show signs of littermate syndrome. 
When Mike and Kandi applied to foster, they told us they had lost their nineteen-year-old Dachshund, Gretchen two years ago and were ready to adopt  a new doxie to the family. Fostering to possibly adopt is always a great way to see it a dog fits into your family. 

Because these boys had little experience out in the world, their foster parents had to teach Chandler the ropes of walking on a leash, meeting new people, riding in the car, and going to businesses. Chandler settled in and became the dog we knew he could be with the patience and love of his foster parents who are now is forever parents! . 
We couldn't have found a better home and family for our little "Chandler Bing"! 
Thank you, Mike and Kandi, for taking a chance on the handsome fella and giving him the life he so deserves. 
We all love you Chandler!! 
Have a great life little guy and we hope to get lots of updates throughout your life! 

Archie found himself living in a crowded, loud, rural shelter. 
Day in and day night, it was the same. They rarely get out of their prison cells as there are few volunteers. A puppy with no one to play with, no one to teach him the way, no warm bed or belly rubs. 
People walk by and occasionally a dog leaves; some go to rescue, some get adopted. The unlucky ones get walked to the back room. 😢
After two months in his "cell", Archie's number came up. A puppy at only around ten months; how could this be? He was scheduled to be euthanized. (See pic) This is the way the shelter system works in many places. 
Luckily, for Archie, he had a few people in his corner. I, the director of PLP had my eye on him. I couldn't believe someone hadn't snagged him up. His body language showed he was scared, but he was so handsome and needed a second chance. He was a BABY! 
We made a plea for a foster, and someone stepped up! (thank you Bailey) 
Archie made the trip from North Carolina, and he them got to spend his first Christmas in a home. 
His time in foster care left an impression on his foster family. He became best buds with everyone and fit in so perfectly that they decided to make him a forever  part of the family!
Archie will never be alone and scared again! Look at his big, beautiful family! woohoo 
Someone stepping up to foster led to Archie getting the life he deserves. 
Congratulations Archie and family. We are so thankful and happy for you all! Please keep us updated as we all fell in love with him!
Have a wonderful life! 

Congratulations to Lexi who is now permanently home with her foster family. 
Lexi came to us in November after we received an email asking if we could take a small dog who had been found several weeks earlier. No owner was found but she needed vet care that was not in the finder’s budget so she reached out to us. 
After Lexi’s vetting, she had really settled in with her foster family and had come out of her shell. 
She even started playing with the other small dogs in the home. 
Congratulations Maria, Lexi, and family!  
Have a wonderful life together! 
Thank you for adopting!!
