HOLY 💩!! YOU. DID. THIS. 🫵💜
Remember Monday… when I had a minor(ish) rage-crash-out because our functionally useless ultrasound machine was about as helpful as a potato with a very small screen... AGAIN? 🥔📺
I had HAD IT —
with the false positives,
the false negatives,
and the painfully limited, pin-point view you get when you’re using a probe that was never designed for pregnancy diagnostics.
And here’s the thing…
We’re a rescue that values ALL lives, even the unknown microscopic ones that hitched a free ride inside mom.
That means we’re often making high-stakes spay decisions within days of a dog entering our program — decisions that absolutely cannot be based on guesswork or “I think maybe I see something?”
Meanwhile, I’m staring at a blurry image thinking:
Is that a gestational sac?
Is that an intrauterine cyst?
Are we dealing with a pyometra?! 😵💫
I DON’T KNOW.
I CAN’T FREAKING SEE! 🥴
So I hopped on here and… VENTED.
I told all of YOU that I was about to go RAGE SHOPPING for a proper ultrasound machine —
but that it would be a painful hit for the rescue,
and that any help *at all* would make a huge difference.
And then…
YOU. SHOWED. UP. 💪🐾💜
By the END OF THE DAY, this community raised $1,520 and fully funded a proper ultrasound machine —
✅ WITH a convex probe
✅ AND a micro-convex probe
✅ ANNNND A 12.1" HD LCD High-Res Screen so my blind-a$$ can actually SEE what's going on in there!
Not “eventually.”
Not “we’ll try.”
IMMEDIATELY.
And TODAY — it arrived! 📦✨
(Just L👀K at this life-saving beauty 😍)
Because of YOU, we can now:
🐾 Scan small dogs, big dogs — ALL. THE. DOGS.
🐾 Detect pregnancies EARLY and accurately
🐾 See heartbeats and assess viability
🐾 Start prenatal vitamins and care ASAP for confirmed mamas
🐾 Schedule spays safely — without risking the tiniest lives
🐾 Support our in-house vet with advanced diagnostics ON-SITE when it matters most
You didn’t just buy a machine.
You bought clarity.
You bought safety.
You bought time.
You bought peace of mind.
You are literally saving the smallest of lives — and the mamas carrying them — before most people would even know they exist.
This is what rescue looks like when a community rallies HARD!
This is what it looks like when people trust us.
This is what it looks like when we do this together. 🥰
From the bottom of my tired, emotional, occasionally rage-y heart -
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOUUUUUUUUU. 💜🐾
🫵 You did this.
And we will never stop being grateful for the community who believes in and supports our program!
