Babies! Babies! More babies! You name the personality you want in a dog and I probably have it! They will be going back to their fosters so if you do have an interest in a puppy or dog please put an application in at the link in the comments and then call the rescue and talk with Jurnie, our director.

Can you believe our two 6 month old Jack Russell terrier puppies didn’t get adopted today?!

These two boys are so sweet and if you have never met a JRT then you are missing out. They might be little but they have big dog personalities. They are ready for any kind of adventure that you want to go on and are very compact little dogs that are easily taken anywhere. I just love me a JRT ❤️❤️

Our second special Saturday adoption event ended at 1 today and boy did we have fun…and best part, we got two puppies adopted! No black puppies got adopted unfortunately (and it’s so crazy because those ones are literally the best, calmest puppies I’ve ever had) but two puppies adopted is better than none!!!we still have a lot of people approved to come in to adopt so hopefully this next week we will get more adoptions! Thank you to everyone who came out to see the animals!!!

Well that was a blur of a day that I have no idea how I got everything done…oh yea, it took A LOT of teamwork from my staff staying over until almost 7 o’clock tonight to the veterinarian staff at HATS (especially you Chelsea!) who go above and beyond for my pain in the ass self, like when I bring in 20 animals to be fixed and vaccinated and was only suppose to bring like 12 (I will forever be sorry Chelsea and Doc Gruca. Lol!) OR like when I’m at HATS to pick up the 20 animals when I was only suppose to bring 12 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 and I’m on the phone with another vet making a different vet appointment for a cat while writing the check for the 20 animals at HATS and I say out loud “yes, I will take next Tuesday at 8:45. Thank you so very much” and no quicker than I hang up and Chelsea hands me a scrap piece of paper that says “vet appointment for cat at 8:45 for pillow foot”. Or how about as I was walking out of HATS and someone asks “are you Dalis?” And I said “yes” and she said “I have some things to donate” and goes to her car and donates a couple bags of things while another lady comes up and hands me $10 and says “thank you for everything you do” when another lady walks up and tells me she adopted a dog and a cat at different times from me and they are and were (the dog passed away of old age) the loves of her life. Before all of this, I was at ANOTHER vet clinic (Northwoods pet care) picking up my pr*****ed little bully (update on him tomorrow) where the staff there always takes such good care of my rescued fur babies AND someone donated $200 towards his vet bill. Absolutely amazing! So then I finally got back to the rescue around 5pm, after starting my day at 6am running my grooming salon and grooming 10 dogs, and now I have a couple more hours of getting animals settled in after their surgeries…and to my surprise my husband and my staff was there and stayed after to help me.

Today might’ve been a long day, more like a fast/blurry day, but the amount of encounters I have in just one day is wild sometimes…but I guess I wouldn’t know what to do in any other “normal” kind of day. Tomorrow I have an adoption event from 11-1 so up early I will be to help clean and feed the million animals I have before the adoption event AND THEN (I’m so excited!) I have a date with my husband to go watch a musical, so I will race out of the adoption event to go home shower, dress and head out….so moral of my story is, that as I sit in bed writing this post my eyes have closed over and over again, feeling very heavy eyed as my family members each come into my room randomly telling me stories about their day, so I put my phone down and smile. I missed them so much and love their stories but can’t muster up much more for them due to my own exhaustion and the mental crazy that I have to prepare myself for tomorrow…but I wouldn’t trade the people that help me make all of this happen for the world. It’s the little things that count. When people show up in the most smallest ways, it makes a ginormous effect on me. The smallest gestures are huge. The kindest words are heartwarming. I always notice. I will forever be grateful.

My poor family. They go through a lot having me as a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandma. They are my heroes 😍

I only mentioned a fraction of my day and the people who made a great impact on it. Believe me when I say there were more. I think this may be just long enough though 😂

Can you get any more cuter than an old bulldog? This is 9, almost 10 year old, Molly the bulldog. She has some eye issues that she will be going to the vet to see if we can help her poor eyes but as of right now it looks to be as if she’s blind. She’s the sweetest thing. We are looking for a quieter home with no shall children or other dogs. She gets along with all but will growl a tiny bit if a dog bumps her face so fur her old self I think it’s best that she lives out the rest of her life in peace ❤️

Remember our man eating (not really) 5 pounder I told you about? Cybil found her people! 😍 These types of adoptions are really, really, really (really) difficult for me. I don’t trust easily when it comes to the misunderstood dogs with bad labels. It’s never the dogs I have trust issues with, it’s always people. People will blow smoke just to get their hands on this adorable dog, but fortunately for Cybil, I can see right through it. This couple not only listened to my lecture about Cybil (believe me, I lay it on a little thick), but they also were very receptive. It takes a lot of work to turn a fearful dog into a confident, comfortable one, but we did it with Cybil. They even said that they were apprehensive after hearing the kind of work it takes to make this kind of dog happy and social. THAT is the key. I don’t want to hear about how you’re not worried or not concerned because you think you’re the perfect home. I want to hear that you acknowledge this is a challenge and a new one at that. It doesn’t matter much if you’ve had a similar dog before, this is still a new dog and a new experience and this couple took everything I had to say to heart and I truly feel deep in my soul that we really did right by Cybil ❤️

Thank you to every single adopter who has undergone my lectures, heard me out, and most importantly, acknowledged my concerns. You’re my kind of people!

Have the happiest life Cybil!!

WARNING ⚠️ GRAPHIC PICTURES!!!

It’s been a day! shoot, it’s been a crazy week! Sorry to everyone that I could barely even say hi to in passing.

Bumble, the puppy with the prolapse that we saved from a shelter, had the purse string removed and it pr*****ed again, so he is staying at the vet today and tomorrow for surgery and recovery. He should be feeling like a new man faster than he came in 🥰

Did you know that one of the most used products at the rescue is paper towels? We can easily go through a case in a week. Paper towel donations is like gold around here 😂 and it’s so amazing when I’m out run errands for the rescue that people will stop and donate money towards the supplies, and this morning this nice couple came up to me in Walmart and donated $20. Thank you so very much and thank you to everyone d who donates and supports us saving animals ❤️

You can’t see me 👋🏼

Well that’s what he wants everyone to think 😂

This guy is still just a baby and I honestly can say we have no clue what breeds of dogs could be in this little guy. We all have some guesses, but we are just going to call him adorable 🥰

If interested in adopting, please go to the link in the comments and put in your preadoption application. If you have questions please call the rescue at 989-463-9797. Thank you!!!

My newest baby….this is Froggy. Froggy was born with manx syndrome which can cause nerve damage in the sacrum causing her to hop and have potty issues. I always say, it’s a good thing I have a concrete building for all of my disabled babies to live peacefully in while I just follow them around cleaning up after them every second of my life. Lol! I obviously just work for them 😂😍

Kiko our little biting cockatoo is up for adoption.

Most people don’t have birds for the duration of the birds life. Either the bird out lives them or the bird gets passed around from family to family. Birds will get very untrusting because of this so you have to build positive relationships with birds, and they still will bite! Lol! Cockatoos are loud, messy and bite. All three reasons why people get rid of them. Kiko is no different. We are looking for a FOREVER HOME who understands what a bird NEEDS and not what YOU WANT! Kiko is funny and does enjoy some attention.

If interested in adopting please go to the link in the comments to and fill out the adoption application. For any questions please call the rescue 989-463-9797.
