Ruth’s Happy Tail: From Abandoned to Adored
|
|
|
|
|
Some dogs arrive at the shelter lost. Some arrive frightened. And then there are dogs like Ruth, who arrive carrying the quiet weight of betrayal—and somehow still find the strength to love again.
|
Ruth is one of six English Mastiffs brought to Little Elm Animal Services as part of a cruelty case. In the brutal heat of an August summer in Texas, police were called to a home where a mother, father, and four puppies had been abandoned in a backyard. There was no food. No water. No shelter from the sun. They were left to die.

Have you welcomed a shelter or rescue pet into your family? We’d love to celebrate their story.

A Heartthrob Without a Stage:
Help Kodak Find His Forever Spotlight
|
|
|
Kodak has been perfecting his “handsome blockhead” look at the shelter for a while now — long enough to fill an entire camera roll with goofy grins and full‑body lean‑ins.
|
He’s a certified gentleman, a professional cuddler, and absolutely convinced he should be the only star in your household.
|
|
If you’ve been waiting for a big‑headed heartthrob to steal your couch (and your heart), Kodak is more than ready for his close‑up.

Meet Your Match:
Pet Matchmaking with Wiggle Butt Academy
|
|
|
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love takes compatibility—and pets are no exception. We’ve seen it happen: a family falls for a picture online, brings home an adorable fluffball, and then… chaos. The puppy herds the kids. The cat hides under the couch for weeks. The whole household feels stressed instead of smitten.
|
|
But it doesn’t have to be that way.

A New Partnership to Keep Pets Fed
|
|
|
|
|
We’re thrilled to share that FLEAS is partnering with Lovepacs–Little Elm to help keep even more pets fed and families supported in our community. Lovepacs has long been a lifeline for local students facing food insecurity, and now, together, we’re expanding that care to the four‑legged family members who need it too.
|
By joining forces, we’re able to reach more households, provide more consistent support, and make sure no pet goes hungry. It’s a partnership built on compassion, community, and the belief that families, pets included, deserve stability and care.
|
|
Big things happen when local organizations link arms, and we’re excited for what this collaboration will make possible.
