⛔️ Sad to say I’m considering taking a break from the rescue world. ⛔️

Damn if we havnt all been here before eh rescue friends ?

Although it’s been my absolute love to be able to please many people with the addition of a new family member, it comes with so much sadness for all these surrenders and a huge self mental toll.

People will judge me, slander me and send me harassing messages because of a denied adoption . All because they are on fixed income and requesting a free adoption.

Or how about the cute little dog that they ask for that I know will hurt their child yet they seem to think , their child is unlike the rest! And blame me

All the Meanwhile the senior pup who’s been waiting for a child like he use to have ...
He sits and waits days and nights because his freckles and patchy hair are not Instagram worthy

They slander our costs because we are trying to compensate our fosters, bills and hard work.

People seem to forget the animals are with me 24 hours being trained and being cared for multiple hours of my and my fosters days so that 1 animals life didn’t end by someone else’s mistake. So we can change the world for that ONE animal

They forget we keep them alive so SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will finally say “thank god for you or I would never have ____ in my life”

I have gone so many years now with Out Of The Shadows Animal Rescue fighting these issues daily, mentally feeling drained with peoples lack of “humanity” or “morals” or even better kindness to others.

It’s made me SO SO strong but it’s also broke me after so so long

For many that don’t know I have had some struggles at home recently and want to recollect my time with the people who support and love me most. I need to regroup the support that REALLY keeps this rescue going and I feel I’ve slacked on that so much. I forgot about me and my feelings the happiness behind the rescue and found out most people don’t even know me outside of what I can offer.

I’m Thinking that although I will always have a heart to take in a dog or cat personally , the bigger scale picture may have to come to a close for a while. Focusing more on the supporting business and building my home and family.

It’s like a bad break up. Truly emotional over it as
It’s really hard to let go knowing how many people and animals could lose the last chance they have because I won’t offer my assistance anymore

But here it goes with prayers I/we come back even stronger. 🙏 and soon

We will welcome our last foster today. As pictured in comments -welcome mr.Harvey

Beautiful sassy- RENAMED

Previously named sassy has been spending some time at her wonderful foster mamas home learning how to share her space, attention and beds in a home environment! Her fosters were given the option of changing her name to something a better suit! They made a WONDERFUL choice of naming her Karma
In hopes that her past life would bring her a much better future!

If you would like more information on this wonderful lady please DM us and someone will get back to you!

Karma is updated on her vaccines
Microchipped
And spayed she will need continued dental work.

🐾 Your Beautiful as ever Karma! ♥️

Sassy is enjoying being with her foster parents!

This beautiful girl has been through so much. She was brought into rescue with her teeth kicked in and little did we know to start but also PREGNANT

She was very malnutritioned and we feared for her pregnancy. Sassy delivered beautiful nugget December 23, and we are very thankful it was just ONE pup as sassy would have a hard time delivering -Nugget is placed in his forever families home. 🐾

On top of her behaviour and physical issues from being in a neglected situation sassy now faced the ultimate fear of having her pup find a home before she did.

That’s where our supporters come in!
We were contacted by a close friend who knew JUST the person for the foster job and we have received good news since! - thank you 😊 you know who you are 💜

This Easter we are most thankful for our loving supporters who offer us the option to offer more pets a safe environment. Our fingers remain crossed that the vas experience of her foster mama will assist sassy in finding a new forever family

Look at that smile! 🐾👏

Earlier this week we were called last minute to take in a 7 month old lab mix! His name is Max

We asked for assistance for fosters and we’re connected to some pretty amazing people! You know who you all are and thank you 🙏

Max was giving his mama some hard times and she had to sadly part ways! Being at risk of heading to a shelter. OOTS jumped into action with the faith in our AMAZING support crew and got him into safty!

Max has been with his foster now for 2 days only and we received a message that he will not be placed on the adoption list as he fits right in.

We are sad to know we are down a foster but ESTATIC to know he is living in the most beautiful of places and with the most gentle of souls! 💜

Othello getting some snacks in before his travels! See you on the cold side buddy! 😻 🥶

Othello is still searching his new forever family
He is FIV positive and in need of a home with NO other cats.

For more information on this beautiful Persian boy please let us know! 🐾

03/20/2022

Excited to meet you soon Othello!

This boy is soaking up the lasts bits of love from his rehab before making his way to Canada 🍁

Othello is FIV positive and a solid black cat!
It’s been very difficult for him to find a home!

Being that he is FIV positive he must be placed into a home with no other cats 🐈‍⬛ 😞

Although he can’t have any feline fur friends this beautiful boy would do very well with a active or relaxed family! He enjoys the company of kids as long as they don’t move to quietly!

If you or someone you know maybe interested please send us a DM asking for an application!

More to come!

Winter and Augustine are around 1 year of age and Very friendly piggies

They love to have access to fresh hay a large play yard and chew toys! Making a mess is what they do best and so a habitat must be approved by the rescue!

Welcome New surrender Coco.

Coco is a beautiful 3 year old Cane Corso mix!

This beautiful boy was surrendered by his owners as they sadly couldn’t provide him with the life he needed even though they tried!

Remember things are not always what they seem.

Although things started well for coco sadly his life style changed when dad had to leave for a while. This leading to having to entrust someone else for cocos care.

When dad returned and seen coco not in the condition left he realized the risks taken without physically being beside his best buddy.

Cocos dad is heart broken with the choice to let him go, but he knows this is what is best for Coco!

-COCO IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT THIS TIME-

🚨 We are seeking assistance with an experienced foster parent able to handle a large breed over excitable Dog. Coco will also need to attend multiple vet visits with his foster.

Coco is friendly with other animals but can become over excited and so should be around a well balanced dog/experienced handler. 🚨
