Betsy and her kids have come a long way in life. This family's journey started in Los Angeles with the amazing people at @thespayceproject. Through the power of collaboration, they made their way to us, and next week, they begin their adoption journey through the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy . Through it all, @modernbeast has advocated and helped support this amazing group of dogs. As we get ready for Betsy and her family to move on to their next phase, we celebrated with some puppy yoga at @modernbeast with @dayhikeapp and @animaladoptioncenterjhwy

We are truly grateful for the community locally and beyond, who help us rewrite the ending for all the dogs that come through our Puppy Palace program.

Currently, we are in the midst of a very impactful 6-week giving period called the Tin Cup Challenge where donations are matched by the @cftetonvalley challenger fund. This is the time that your $5 donation goes even further, and we would be so grateful for your financial support to make our work possible.

The link to make a donation is in our bio.

From the bottoms of our paws, thank you for being on this journey with us, and together, we can continue to rewrite the ending for so many more animals.

Your donations through Tin Cup help us rewrite the stories of animals who were simply dealt a tough hand. Because of the Tin Cup Challenge — and the generosity of @cftetonvalley and their challengers — every dollar you give during this campaign is partially matched, making an even bigger impact on the lives we care for.

Thank you for being part of this work. Let’s rewrite some stories together. 🐶 🐷 🐱 🐐 🐓 🐰

We have some very exciting news—Isabel and the @simonsits litter will be adoptable through Aska’s Animals starting in early July! 💥

After seeing the incredible response to their story, we realized something: there are amazing potential adopters right here in our own backyard. Instead of sending them to an adoption partner and adding another stop on their journey, we’re cutting out the middle step and placing them directly into loving homes—hopefully yours. 🐶

For those new here, adoption isn’t usually our lane—it’s a whole operation of its own. We focus on the work many of our partners can’t do: caring for moms and litters in-house for extended stays. And our partners? They’re experts at managing the logistics and long-term follow-up that comes with finding the perfect home. But this time, it just made sense to keep it in the family.

A little about this crew: Isabel is a sweet and curious dachshund mix, and we’re still learning more about her. Her puppies are just over five weeks old and likely to stay small-breed—we don’t know who dad was, but the pups are confident, social, and adorable. Four girls and one boy.

If you’re interested in being considered for adoption, send us an email at info@askasanimals.org with a little about yourself. We can’t wait to find these pups the homes they deserve. ❤️

Meet the @simonsits Litter 🐾
A small tribute to Isabel (@simonsits) and the waves she’s making in animal rescue. A reminder that one person fostering a dog in need can truly move the needle in the right direction for animal welfare.

This mama dog—who we’ve named Isabel, after the internet’s favorite foster mom—and her puppies (including little Tiki, named after her current foster pup) arrived today from @epanimalsvc thanks to the incredible team at @dogismycopilotinc. Their backstory is bleak—they were found as strays with not much more info. Unfortunately, Texas is currently the state with the highest annual number of animal euthanasias.

We always prioritize our regional rescue partners first, but when there’s space to help others that likely have a much more grim outcome, we rally. Hence… four litters of puppies currently seeking shelter with us here on the farm.

If you’re not already following @simonsits, she is doing game-changing work for animals in need. Watching Tiki’s journey is a beautiful reminder of how fostering can change one dog’s life—and ripple out to change so many more. Isabel and her puppies will be adoptable with our friends at @idahohumanesociety when they’re ready in a few weeks.

And don’t forget to be brave like Tiki. ✨

Friday night on the farm because rescue doesn’t do normal business hours.

If you’ve found yourself here, welcome to the soapbox. Meet Mazzie. She was surrendered to the shelter after a child in her family was diagnosed with allergies. Life things happen and we get it.

What shouldn’t happen is this: Mazzie giving birth shortly after arriving at the shelter with an accidental litter.

Her paperwork says she was purchased from a breeder. And we can’t say this loud enough: ethical breeders take their dogs back when life throws a curveball. In fact, they require it. We don’t know if her breeder refused or perhaps didn’t know but the result is the same. Nine new dogs are now in the shelter system.

That means nine tiny lives needing weeks in our Puppy Palace, nine spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, dewormers, food, and round-the-clock care before they’re even ready to find homes.

We were already over our planned capacity with four litters (our max is three), and today we had to say no to another because we physically don’t have the space. That never gets easier.

And the hardest part? This was preventable.

If you’re set on buying from a breeder, do your homework. Ask the hard questions. Make sure they take lifetime responsibility for the dogs they bring into the world. Spay and neuter your animals. If you choose not to, please keep them safely contained.

We do not need more unwanted puppies.

Mazzie is a sweet, clearly well-loved dog who is now navigating shelter life and motherhood all at once. We’ll be with her every step of the way — helping her pups grow strong, hitting milestones, and preparing them for the best futures we can give.

Stay tuned to follow their journey. ❤️

The week leading up to saying goodbye to a litter + their mama is always a little bittersweet. We’ve watched their personalities unfold, poured our time and energy into introducing them to the world, and done everything we can to set them (& their future adopters) up for success.

It hits even harder with dogs like Victoria.

She came to us completely shut down — terrified, clinging & protecting her newborn puppies, scared of the world, unclear if she would ever trust again. Honestly, we didn’t know what her behavioral outcome would be. For the first three weeks, she kept her distance, too scared to let her guard down. But when she finally cracked open — when she realized she was safe and that we could be trusted — she blossomed into this incredible dog. What came out was nothing short of magic.

We’ll never know exactly what her life looked like before this, but we do know her future holds hope, joy, and the chance to be someone’s whole world. @sheltervisibilityproject captured her and what she has to offer one lucky adopter flawlessly.

We try not to dwell on how she ended up like this. Instead, we choose to focus on what comes next. Her story isn’t about where she started… it’s about where she’s going. And she’s ready. She just needs someone with a little extra patience, a little extra love, and the space to let her keep blossoming.

Victoria will be available for adoption through @rilos_rescue on 5/30. If she speaks to you, reach out. She’s ready to give her heart to someone who’s willing to invest in it—and trust us, the return will be immeasurable. And if you’re in the market for a puppy, hers are incredible too.

Thanks, as always, for supporting us so we can do this work. 🥹❤️🫶

Today we welcomed 12 puppies and one incredibly malnourished mama dog, thanks to our new friends doing important work at @thespayceproject. They came all the way from the California desert, where their lives were at risk. It took countless organizations coming together to rescue over 60 dogs, pretty much overnight.

Betsy and the Charlotte’s Web litter are settling in, getting plenty of food and love. We’ll continue getting to know them over the next five weeks. For now, they’re decompressing after a chaotic 48 hours. This litter will cost us $3,000 just to cover basic, routine care. If just 10% of our Instagram followers Venmoed @askasanimals $10, it would be fully covered. Many hands make light work and Betsy and her puppies are a true testament to that. Let’s keep fighting this fight together.

There are too many people to shout out for making this all happen, but you know who you are. ❤️
