Every dog has a story
Willie Good Time
Willie Good Time is a happy, playful, snuggly puppy of about 12 weeks, believed to be a Dutch Shepherd mix with an estimated adult weight around 50 pounds. He and his sister, Parton My Sass, were found abandoned and struggling to survive, and Rovers Return Dog Rescue trapped them and brought them to The Comeback Pack. They were the skinniest puppies we had ever seen, but they went straight to the vet and are gaining weight like champs. Willie is good with kids, dogs and cats, and he is now available for adoption.
Their Journey So Far
They're Safe, and Their Comeback Begins
October 12, 2026They're safe. They're with us. And now their comeback begins. Yesterday, we shared the heartbreaking story of two tiny puppies who had been dumped and left to starve. They're about 10 weeks old. Babies. And they didn't deserve a single bit of what happened to them. We had a choice to make. Leave them out there, knowing they were slowly dying? Or take them in, knowing we were already stretched thin? For us, there really wasn't a choice. These two babies are officially part of The Comeback Pack! First, an enormous thank you to Rovers Return Dog Rescue for trapping these puppies, getting them to safety, and bringing them to us. We immediately got them to the veterinarian. As you can see, they are severely emaciated, and we have to be extremely careful about how we reintroduce food and water. We're still waiting on some test results, they're currently quarantining, and we're doing everything we can to give them the best possible chance. The good news? Things are looking really promising right now. We're cautiously optimistic, and we're hoping these babies have a long, beautiful life ahead of them. Introducing Willie Good Time and Parton My Sass. They were thrown away like they didn't matter. We're going to spend every day showing them just how much they do.
Clear Labs, Gaining Weight, Ready to Foster
October 15, 2026We couldn't let another day go by without sharing these newest photos of our two little survivors! They're so excited, friendly, and wiggly that getting them to sit still long enough for a photo is practically impossible. For those following their story, these are the two emaciated puppies rescued by The Comeback Pack and Rovers Return after being dumped and left to starve. And we have some really good news! They're doing incredibly well, better than we even expected. Their lab results came back clear. They're already putting on a little weight. They're absolutely full of kisses and tail wags. These babies were truly on the brink of death. But then there's the other part: the people who stepped up to save them. The strangers who donated. The hundreds of people cheering them on and genuinely caring about two little puppies they've never even met. That is the part that restores our faith in humanity. Foster update! These two will be ready for a new foster home this weekend. They need to stay together because they're still so young, and we're looking for someone local to Murrieta or Temecula so we can continue monitoring their recovery. They need no specialized care, just small, frequent meals to help them gain weight. Thank you for loving these babies right alongside us. Their comeback is just getting started!
From Left to Die to Living Their Best Puppy Lives
November 4, 2026From left to die to living their best puppy lives! Parton My Sass and Willie Good Time were rescued after being left to die, but those days are officially behind them. After completing their quarantine and receiving all their veterinary care, these babies are now healthy, happy, thriving puppies. They've also been lucky enough to grow up in an amazing foster home, where they've been showered with love and given every opportunity to become well-rounded, confident little dogs. And now they're ready for families of their very own! Both are absolutely awesome puppies, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
