❤️🐶 Reunited and it feels so good! 🐶❤️ Isla recently came to Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue for boarding while her foster family was away. I first met Isla in March 2021, when she was scared and reactive. With patience, treats, walks, and love, she began to trust me. We formed a strong connection and a wonderful friendship. After three years at Coastal K9, we found her an experienced foster family in 2024. When she returned for boarding, it was wonderful to see she remembered me. So, here's to Isla and celebrating National Dog Day! It was tough for me to choose which dog to highlight on this extraordinary day. I felt it would be special to share Isla’s journey since I was reunited with her. Here’s to making a difference one pup at a time! ❤️🐶🐾❤️

❤️🐶 Courtesy post for sweet Max. 🐶❤️ He’s at a wonderful rescue north of Seattle. This rescue was named after a beloved donkey, named Pasado, who was tortured and killed by three teenage boys. This rescue provides a safe haven for abused and neglected animals. Please consider donating to Pasado's Safe Haven, liking their page, following them, and sharing their posts. They are fighting to end animal cruelty. 💚💚

Sweet Max was found dumped in a cemetery with a deformity of his skull/muzzle. We suspect he was either born with it or suffered very early head trauma while his skull was still developing.

After arriving at Pasado's, our loving veterinary team determined that Max needed eye surgery to prevent his eyelids from rolling inward and to fit his orbital frame, so we got right to work. He has now fully recovered from his operation and is doing amazing!

Max is officially looking for his perfect forever home. He loves sticking to his person like Velcro and scratches behind his big ears. He eats his food a little differently because of his nose shape, but we think it's perfect 💚

P.S. His adoption fee is 50% off throughout August for !

Tax-deferred retirement accounts are great for lowering your tax bill today—but taxes will eventually need to be paid when the money is withdrawn. Tax diversification may help you keep more of your retirement income. https://bit.ly/4xsTSU2
