Our babies are growing!!! 🙌👏👏

I’m so happy that this group is thriving and growing 🫶 it’s always nerve wracking the first couple of weeks with new puppies, especially when we have no idea where they were previously or what they could have been exposed to.

This group is thriving, they’ll be receiving their 3rd DHPP shot this week and ready for adoptive homes!

Emma really would love a home for the holidays! She’s a 6 year old purebred blue heeler! She’s in excellent health, loves her family and gets along great with all dogs.
Emma is deaf, but this doesn’t bother her one bit, she gets amazing sleep!!! 🙏🙏 Emma came into the rescue over a year ago after her owner was sadly killed. She has excellent house manners, you’d hardly know she’s there!

Please someone give Emma a chance

After a rough 24 hours with losing our Ford, we needed a win❤️‍🩹🐾

Yesterday we lost our goodest boy, Ford🌈❤️‍🩹

Ford came in from Desoto County Animal Services as a stray in July 2024.

We were told shortly after a trip to the vet that he had terminal cancer and approximately six months to live.

We said we didn’t care how long he had that we would give him a forever home here at the sanctuary and make every second count!

I’m overjoyed to say that he exceeded his timeline tenfold.

When we noticed that Ford was declining, I thought I’d be fine. I thought I’d be strong and brave, for him, I knew this was very much a part of the deal when we took in a older dog with a terminal cancer diagnosis

I’ve been brave before, taking on senior dogs to give them their final home.

The plan for yesterday‘s vet appointment was to explore our options, see if we had any tricks left in the bag to help our boy just feel better.
But the reality hit me when he collapsed getting out of the car in the parking lot and I had to scoop him up to get into the vet’s office.
He was so exhausted. The cancer was finally winning.

He slept through the entire consultation and I lost it. I couldn’t stop crying.
I felt so silly, as we hadn’t even come to a conclusion yet, but the emotions welled up and I couldn’t stop them.
I knew this feeling, I’ve been through it before and then I realized that these feelings were here because of a deep love for this dog.
I felt grateful for a bond like this, one that I have been privileged to have many times.

I’ll take that sadness 100x over if it gives another senior the opportunity to be happy, for whatever length of time.

Im proud to say Ford had 99% of good days with us, and on the last day and a half we chose to relieve him of any suffering.

So I ask anyone who is reading this, please don’t bypass the seniors, the ones who need you the most. Our pain and sadness is temporary, but a moment of love and happiness will last them a lifetime ❤️‍🩹

Keeping Ford in our home through his diagnosis was only ever possible thanks to your support to our rescue. Your donations, shares and monetary contributions allowed us to give him the best end of life ever, so thank you all🙏🌈

Ford will surely be missed, but his legacy will live on, we will continue helping senior and medical dogs here and ensure they know love❤️

Our Butter boy needs a checkup with our regular vet.
He’s been on a high calorie diet and still is SO thin. He came in very thin, but by now he should have fatten up. His appetite isn’t super high and he’s been dewormed, so at this point I’d like to rule out any thyroid issues.

Other than that Butters is a happy, playful boy! He’s just older so some routine bloodwork is in order! We need your help 🙏🙏

If you feel called please donate towards Butters vet appointment so we can ensure hes getting everything he may need

Right now our sanctuary self funds life saving medication for THREE of our medical dogs ❤️‍🩹
