Thank you so much for your incredible support on Big Day of Giving (BDOG)!

Your generosity smashed our BDOG fundraising goal - and SSPA and our dogs couldn’t be more grateful!

Congratulations to the fortunate pups, and thank you so very much for all of your support to saves lives!

And now, some news many of us have been waiting for ... Eli finally found his forever home!

This boy came so far from the terrified, shutdown pup we first met at the shelter. With positive reinforcement and two playful, confident female dogs, he flourished every day in his forever home!

Well, he found the perfect home! He'll have a playful sister dog to keep him company and help continue to bring him out of his shell!

We're so happy for this deserving boy!

Check out how happy SSPA alum Molly is with her family!

"Our happy gal loves car rides," says adopter Karen!

Isn't this photo the cutest?!

Congratulations Molly on landing such a spectacular forever home, and thank you to her family for choosing to adopt and making her such a cherished family member!

These four super-cute Stockton pups are among those who found their homes recently!

Clockwise from top left: Stan, Dixie, Gracie and Oreo all found homes of their very own.

A huge congratulations to all of these lucky pups and their adopters!

Don’t forget: If you adopted through SSPA, we offer post-adoption counseling to help with your new dog’s transition into your home! Email sspadogs@gmail.com! You can send "Happy Tails" updates there as well!

This means so much to us and the dogs! 👏👏👏

Fostering not only saves shelter dogs’ lives; it also brings you so much joy as you watch the dogs start to thrive in your care - as you can see with Zach and his foster!

And when they leave for their forever home, it’s one of the most rewarding and wonderful feelings around!

Take in a dog temporarily and give it a brighter future.

This handsome dude is a volunteer favorite!

He takes a little time to warm up to people, so he’s looking for a patient and understanding family.

He could be paired with a well-matched female dog in his new home.

Once you gain his trust, he does zoomies and flops over for belly rubs!

This adorable boy is a dream dog!

He's a rock star in every way. We think he may not be able to hear but that doesn’t stop him from being all-around wonderful!

His favorite thing is to roll over for belly rubs and we think he’d be a great fit for a family with children.

This little one is finally safe in foster after living on the streets for a while.

She's very sweet and is OK with other dogs.

She's looking for a special adopter who will continue to help her build confidence and work on her fear issues. Her person will need to be patient as she takes some time to acclimate to new people and handling.

A quiet home without young children would be best for her.
