Happy National Dog Day to the tail-waggers, treat inspectors, professional bed hogs and four-legged best friends who make life infinitely better. 🐾💙

Today’s agenda:

🐶 Extra snuggles
🐶 A longer walk
🐶 Absolutely no pretending you didn’t hear the treat bag open

Tell me your dog’s name and the absolutely necessary nickname you actually call them in the comments! 👇

🐾 I’ve been keeping a little idea to myself… and I think it’s finally time to let the cat out of the bag. Kenzie approved that sentence. Probably.
For my birthday, I wanted to announce something that means a whole lot more to me than candles, presents, or another trip around the sun.
Coming April 2027: STAY FOR THE STRAYS. ❤️
The idea is simple:
Our volunteer team will stay at the shelter for as many completed event hours as we can.
You sponsor us per hour as a TEAM — not per volunteer.
So whether there are 3 of us or 15 of us staying, your pledge stays the same.
The longer we stay, the more we raise for the animals. 🐶🐱
And yes… that means spending the night with shelter pets.
Because they spend every night there.
We can spend one — or hopefully a whole lot more — with them.
Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing the official event date, endurance goal, volunteer information, sponsorship opportunities, and all the details you’ll need to get involved.
But I’m sharing it now because I want this to become something bigger than Sticky Paws.
I want volunteers.
I want individual sponsors.
I want local businesses.
I want a community watching the clock with us and cheering every time we make it through another hour.
And most of all, I want a whole bunch of shelter animals to benefit because a community decided to show up for them.
If you already know you’d be interested in volunteering, pledging per hour, making a one-time donation, or becoming a business sponsor, comment below, send me a message, email [email protected], or find me on Instagram at .
This is only the beginning. 🐾
They spend every night here.
We’re spending one with them.

**A Little Update from Sticky Paws 🐾**

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, sent well wishes, and checked in on me and my family. Every kind word has meant more than I can truly express.

My grandmother is now in good hands. We still have difficult days, and this new chapter has come with a lot of emotion, but one thing is certain: with us, she will always be safe, cared for, and surrounded by love.

As far back as I can remember, my grandmother has helped shape the love our family has for animals. That love can be seen in my parents, in me, and now in everything behind Sticky Paws. She is part of the reason we have always believed that four-legged family members deserve just as much love, comfort, and care as anyone else.

Long before Sticky Paws had a name, she was helping teach us to love wagging tails, wet noses, and tiny toe beans with our whole hearts.

So while I step away to help care for the woman who helped plant that love in our family, please know that this time means more than simply putting orders on pause. It is about being present for someone who helped shape so much of who I am.

There will still be hard days, but she is loved beyond measure. This next chapter is about protecting her well-being, preserving her comfort, and making sure she always feels safe.

Thank you for giving me grace, patience, and understanding while I am where I need to be most. Your kindness has wrapped around our family during a time when we truly needed it, and I will never forget it. 🐾❤️

A big paws-up thank you to everyone who came out to see Sticky Paws at Faith Methodist Church this past Saturday! 🐾

Special thanks to Faith Methodist Church for hosting such a sweet event, and extra tail wags to SoKY Soap works and The Wurst Food Truck for introducing us to this wonderful opportunity! We’re so grateful you helped point our paws in the right direction. 💛🐾

We had a doggone good time and can’t wait to see you all again soon!

This Memorial Day, we remember Nemo, a military German Shepherd Dog whose loyalty and courage defined a moment of extraordinary sacrifice.

On December 4, 1966, at Tan Son Nhut Air Base in Vietnam, Nemo and his handler, Bob Throneburg, were on patrol when the base came under attack. Nemo alerted first and charged the enemy, taking a bullet through his nose that exited through his eye. Despite the devastating injury, he continued to fight, giving Throneburg time to call for backup.

When his handler was shot and went down, Nemo, bleeding and blinded in one eye, refused to leave his side. He crawled back and positioned himself across Throneburg’s body, protecting him until help arrived.

Today, we honor the loyalty, bravery, and unbreakable bond that military canines share with those beside them. 🐾❤️

🐾🍪 **Happy National Rescue Dog Day from he Sticky Paws pack!** 🍪🐾

These three are proof that the best things in life come in threes…
three wagging tails, three second chances, and triple the love. 💛

Rescue dogs don’t just find homes—they *build families*.
And around here, they inspire everything we do (including a few extra treats 😉).

Today we’re celebrating the pups who turned their “once upon a time” into a “forever after.” 🐶✨

Got a rescue of your own? Give them a treat, a cuddle, and maybe an extra cookie—because love like that deserves to be baked into every day.

Because at Sticky Paws…
every good thing starts with a rescue—and ends with something sweet. 🧁🐾
