Sometimes you meet a dog and your heart breaks immediately. Even knowing they’re safe now, you can’t help but wish you could go back and spare them everything they’ve been through. That’s how I feel about Hippo. He has significant neurological issues, struggles to walk, and often moves by army crawling on his elbows. It hurts to think about the years he spent in pain and discomfort without the love and medical care he deserved. Hippo’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of what happens when breeders see dogs as a way to make money and disregard their well-being. He deserved to be cared for, protected, and loved every day of his life. We can’t change his past, but now that he’s here at The Asher House Sanctuary, we can give him a different future. Hippo will be seeing a neurologist at a specialty care clinic, and we’ll do everything we can to help him feel comfortable, find joy, and have the best life possible. We don’t know yet what his recovery will look like, but we know he’ll have us beside him every step of the way. Please welcome Hippo to the pack. ❤️ If you’d like to contribute to his care, it would mean the world to us. The only place to donate is through The Asher House website. Thank you all so much for your continued support. Please keep spreading love and kindness, and have a beautiful day.

If you asked The Asher House Sanctuary team who their favorite dog is, the answer might surprise you. You probably wouldn’t hear Matilda or Tommy or some of the other familiar faces you see here so often. Most of them would say Princess. She’s our house mascot, greeting everyone who walks through the door with a loud bark and a demand for belly rubs and kisses. And of course, everyone happily gives her exactly what she wants. Three years ago, Princess was on death row at the South LA Animal Shelter. I fell in love with her the moment she arrived here. Three years with her will never feel like enough. Princess has an aggressive cancer, and we’re facing the heartbreaking reality of having to say goodbye. With so many animals to love and care for, we know these devastating moments will come. We’re going to spoil her every day, just like we always do, and do our best to make sure she feels all our love through the sadness. Sara and I are taking her to the beach one last time this week. This time, we’ll carry her all the way down to the sand. There will never be another Princess. We will miss her bark, her belly rub demands, and the joy she brings into this house just by being in it. To my amazing team: thank you for loving her as much as you do. You truly made her life complete. ❤️

Now for some positive news! Echo was abandoned on the side of the road next to a mailbox. Sara was able to capture her, and after a few months at the sanctuary we were able to get her to trust and love again. Now, we are so thrilled to announce she has been adopted out to the perfect forever home 🩷

As many of you already know, the most difficult aspect of animal rescue is often not the animals, it’s the people. Velveteen worked for months to come out of her shell and was finally ready for her forever home. This was one of the most frightening experiences of my career.
