Dogs Got Souls

*EDITED* apparently half of the description got lost when I tried to post this to both Instagram and Facebook at the same time *

This is Stewie.

She stayed with her brother till they were about 3.5 months old, and already, they were showing obvious symptoms of which really doesn't get talked about often enough.

Because of this, Stewie was scared of the world, and had severe separation anxiety especially in the crate.

Fortunately, I was able to gain her trust and bond with her. She came around and absolutely BLOSSOMED during the 3 weeks she stayed with us. She did great at a restaurant with pet friendly patio, bravely followed my toddler up the playground and let me hold her to go down the slide, and even participated in a small Easter egg hunt with 2 other families with toddlers. She is now able to go into the crate by herself, and sleeps through the night in her crate. She is also doing well in her new foster home.

Stewie is now 4 months old. Not only is she super sweet, loves to cuddle, she is also dog, cat, AND kid friendly. She is available for adoption from Belles Buds Rescue

Apply to adopt at:

Please consider donating to either or so we could continue helping rescue pups who can use some training/rehabilitation to find and stay in forever homes easier 🙏🏡🐾

I was just trying to record Shiner and Takeshi playing because they were being super cute. Then I realized this video actually perfectly captures each personality of the 4 dogs.

So here are the 4 dogs of Dogs Got Souls:

Shiner always gives his best and goes hard at everything, including laying his head on the floor. He was not treated well and needed some rehabilitation, showed me his high intelligence as soon as he got here, was supposed to be sold as a service dog in training (before we became a nonprofit), and ended up staying for good.

His new best friend, Takeshi, who's about the same age, is the smallest but fiestiest and never passes up an opportunity to have fun; even though he is a rescue who was a scared little mess and barked his head off at me from his foster mom's arms the very first time he saw me. When I adopted him, my narcolepsy was acting up at its worst and I couldn't stay asleep for 2-3 hours for months. That first night after he settled down in my room, I slept for 4 hours straight.

Dia is true to her Newfoundland breed, the sweetest, most caring, natural nanny dog for both humans and pups alike. She may be 120 lbs and look intimidating to some, but she has one of the kindest temperament I've ever seen in a dog. She'll be 6 years old in about 3 months and I have never seen her get upset/mad about anything. She's helped me socialize many puppies and dogs who are reactive/scared of bigger dogs.

Last but definitely not the least, Dexter, my guardian angel, my heart, my soul, the awesomest service dog of all, the dog who's saved my life countless times, the best kind of dog anyone can have if they're lucky enough, always puts his job of taking care of me above all else. He is the reason I am the trainer I am today, the reason Dogs Got Souls can help other people and dogs.

Happy national dog day ❤️

P.S. I would also like to share the good news that Dogs Got Souls is now on the Fundraisers list of Facebook and Instagram, if any of our followers and supporters would like to utilize the function and help raise money for us to train service dogs for people with disabilities, and rehabilitate/train for local rescues so they could stay in foster homes and get adopted out sooner 🙏
