Everyone, please say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 🩷🩷🩵🩵🩷

5 (FIVE) days ago a local follower, Cindy, reached out to us in quite the pickle... she had just discovered that her young female dog was pregnant. Sally (the mama) wasn't hurting for groceries, is quite the furball, and didn't get a humongous belly, so it wasn't easy to notice her recent expansion.

Cindy took Sally to the vet for a checkup after realizing that this recent growth looked like more than just good groceries. It was discovered that Sally was, in fact pregnant, and guessed to be within 2 weeks of whelp. This was, of course, an unplanned pregnancy with a decent potential for genetic complications. The doctor suggested a spay/abort, but that didn't sit right with Cindy so she did the only thing she could think of - she reached out to us for guidance.

We spoke at length with Cindy about potential complications and what she would need to do - VERY QUICKLY 😳 to prepare for whelp and care for mom and babies. She was in over her head, but she wanted to do all that she could for Sally and the kids. She listened, she asked good questions, and she acted immediately to purchase what she would need to keep mom and kids safe & comfortable. We ended our conversation with an offer to help in any way we could, to include helping with whelp, the babies, and getting Sally spayed.

After noodling on everything We had spoken about, Cindy reached back out the next morning to accept our offer to help her, Sally, and the babies.

Fast forward to this afternoon when I get the message that Sally is in labor, panting, and frantically nesting. 😬

I threw the whelping kit, o2 concentrator, puppy heater, trauma kit, and whatever else I could grab into the car and hit the road.

By the time I arrived to Cindy's house, a beautiful little girl had already been born. Sally had no interest in opening the baby's sac, (any of them, really) but because Cindy had been diligent in learning and asking questions, she was able to get the baby out, clear the face/nose/mouth, and cut the cord like a champ!

4 additional babies were born over the course of the next 2 hours! Sally did great pushing them out, but left the yucky parts up to the people helping. The family, Griffin, Morgan, and Cindy were very welcoming, stayed calm, and did everything that needed to be done to help Sally get through her whelp.

When all was said and done, and the babies were safe and settling in with mom, Cindy did the best thing she could do for Sally and the kids - she officially entrusted the babies to our care.

Sally will raise her babies under the watchful eye of her family and the guidance and care of PRAR. When the babies are weaned and no longer need their mom, they will transfer to our care to be fully vetted and adopted into appropriate homes. PRAR will cover the costs of care for the babies and will have sneaky Sally spayed so that she doesn't find herself in this predicament again.

We see the results of so many poor decisions in our line of work. It was really refreshing to be able to work with someone who realized the great big WOOPS that had happened, and genuinely wanted to do the best thing she could to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of all involved BEFORE it became another sad case. 💜👏👏👏👏

Welcome to the pack, little ones.

Further updates will come as they grow 📈

💚 FREEDOM RIDE! 💚 Eleven sweet souls made their way to the PRAR Neonate Program on Saturday! In this post, we'd like you to meet the - Gunner, Marley, Franki, Masie, Ripley, and Dottie 🥰

From what we were told the owners moved out of their trailer home in Western Oklahoma and took the mother dog with them. 6 four-week-old puppies were left behind under the dilapidated, filthy front porch - alone.

A kind neighbor heard the cold, hungry babies crying. He scooped them up and brought them into his home to keep them warm before taking them to animal control.

The good Folks at Animal Control put out a public plea looking for the mother and they did eventually find the owners. Being a very small town Animal Services knew that the owners did not live a lifestyle conducive to taking proper care of animals and did not release the puppies back to the owner. In fact they went so far as to try to get the mom - who the owners would not surrender. Animal Control made a deal that the mom would be spayed at their next spay neuter event, and the puppies would be surrendered to safety.

Mama is said to be a Labrador/ Shepherd mix and dad was unknown. From the looks of some of these kiddos we're going to go ahead and make the assumption that Daddy may have had some Catahoula in him 😉

The babies were moved to our incredible Foster mama, Dani, who kept them safe, warm and fed while they got their first vaccines and dewormers and waited for their FAAAAABULOUS and with Malcolm 2 the Rescue to come pick them up for their First-Class private flight HOME.

These Lil chunky-butts are settling into their foster homes. Thank you Mama Lisa and Mama Allison for saying YES to !

The babies will be smothered in hooman kisses and snoogles, get lots of enrichment to support brain development, and will be ready to wiggle their waggy tails into your heart and home in a few weeks. 💜🐾

You'd think they never get any love or attention... 🙄 The dogs showed out at the PRAR Christmas party. Foster Daddies, Chris and Peter, were soaking up the lovies from these poor, neglected souls.

Watching this again, I see that helped himself to some of Chris' drink!

The boys, Charlie, Billy, and Shenzi are next. I believe Charlie knew life outside of his prison. I believe Billy and Shenzi were born into it. I think, with patience and some time, we can pull Charlie out. He's a soul dog. He's a leader - 1000%. Im worried about the two young ones.

💜 To Our PRAR Family… Thank You. Truly. Deeply. Wholeheartedly. (It's long, but it's from the heart - please read)

We wanted to take a moment to honor the REAL heroes in our rescue.

You.
Yeah, YOU. 🫵

Because here’s the truth: YOU are the lifeblood and the backbone of PRAR.

YOU are the compassionate, animal-loving hoomans who keep this rescue program alive. You’re the ones who hold us up when we’re crashing, who rage with us when we’re crashing out, who rally behind us when another broken soul needs saving.

• You donate WHAT you can, WHEN you can.
• You send wish list items (and sometimes things we didn’t know we needed until they arrived).
• Some of you open your homes to foster animals who are desperate for someone — anyone — to say YES.
• Some of you open your homes forever, giving a happy ending to stories that didn’t start happy at all.
• Some of you can’t help in big ways, but you religiously comment and share our posts, because you know the next person who sees them might be able to help.
• Some of you work quietly behind the scenes—processing apps, photographing, fundraising, bottle-feeding newborns, bathing filth off skinny bodies, making blankets and toys, transporting dogs across the city, and sometimes across state lines.

You give us grace when we go quiet, because you know a dumpster fire is burning somewhere, and trust that we'll fill you in when we come up for air. 🔥

You pray - HARD - when lives hang in the balance.
You hurt with us when our hearts are broken.
You believe in what we’ve built... in the work that we do… and in these animals… THAT MUCH.

And that? That is humbling beyond words.

It is an incredible honor to know that you trust us to do right by the animals and the communities we serve. And you don’t just show up during “Giving Season.” Your support is consistent. Compassionate. Year-round. That speaks volumes about who you are.

When I started Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue nine years ago, my vision was simple: create an ethically run rescue whose sole focus was the animals. Their health and well-being would always come first - and if I kept that promise, the rest would fall into place. And it did.

I wanted to build an online community where the public could see the inner workings of rescue. I wanted you to SEE the good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright heart-wrenching. And you've seen it all with us.

I wanted you to really get to KNOW our animals and watch their journeys as they heal. I wanted you to fall in love with them, to see their value, to rejoice in their triumphs. I wanted to build a FAMILY of like-minded humans who would DO SOMETHING to effect change, because, let's face it, we can all do something.

Nine years ago, I could’ve never imagined the love, support, and camaraderie that PRAR would bring into my life… or into the lives of the thousands of people who have found their way to us. We built a family. A fierce one. A powerful one. A compassionate one. A family that is still growing - and still saving lives every single day.

So before someone cuts any more onions in my office and turns me into a snotty, blotchy puddle…

Thank you.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for honoring and supporting our mission.
Thank you for being the beating heart of Pawsitive Restorations.
YOU are our heroes. 💜

💜 UPDATE ON THE COURT CASE 💜

Friends… take a deep breath with us.

Tomorrow morning (Dec. 10 at 9:30am), the defendants in the cruelty case will appear in Woodward County Court for their plea hearings. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for since these tiny survivors were found dumped on a rural road in the middle of NOWHERE - cold, sick, and terrified.

According to court records, the defendants were originally charged with:
• Cruelty to Animals - Felony (multiple counts)
• Conspiracy - Felony
• Abandonment of a Domestic Animal on a Roadway - Misdemeanor (multiple counts)...
..We know. We KNOW. 🙄

It feels absolutely insane that a person can leave living, breathing, terrified, tiny babies on the side of a country road - to starve, freeze, be run over (or eaten) - and the law still treats it like a low-level offense. It’s outdated. It’s infuriating. And it’s something that absolutely needs reform. But... if I go off on THIS particular tangent, my head is going to freaking explode - so for all our sakes, let's just move on.

One defendant’s case has recently shifted to a lesser charge, while the other is still facing the full set of original charges. We don’t yet know how tomorrow will play out - but we are hoping, praying, manifesting, and possibly smudging sage in the shape of a middle finger for an outcome that honors what these babies endured.

And because humor is how some of us avoid committing our *own* crimes, we’ve added a few “Honorary Charges” we feel should be recognized by the Universe if not by the court:

⚖️
• Aggravated Blatant Incompetence (Class “Are You Kidding Me?” Felony)
• Reckless Endangerment of a Rescue Director’s Blood Pressure
• Attempted Manslaughter via Krissy’s Blood Boiling to 900 Degrees

We are, of course, joking… mostly. But humor aside — this case MATTERS. These dogs MATTER.

Pawsitive Restorations has formally filed for restitution to recoup a portion of the massive medical expenses required to save these puppies. That’s not extra — that’s survival for future animals who need us just as desperately. And why shouldn't these people be financially responsible for what they did to this family, right?

So tonight, we’re asking our village - our prayer warriors, our vibe senders, our candle lighters, our energy movers - to surround this case with every ounce of positive force you’ve got. These little souls survived hell. Now we hope the justice system shows them their lives truly mattered, and sends out a very STRONG message that this bull💩 will not be tolerated.

We’ll update you as soon as we know more.
Keep those hearts lifted and those paws crossed. 💜🐾

P.S. Their beautiful mother has still not been found. It's been 3 months. 🥺💔

💜This Little Girl Shouldn’t Have Survived… But SHE DID.💜

Stormy should’ve been another heartbreaking statistic. She arrived to Pawsitive Restorations critically ill — so riddled with pneumonia so severe that even an oxygen chamber wasn't enough. Her tiny body was fighting so hard just to breathe that ICU doctors warned us her muscles might give out and she could pass from respiratory failure.

They quietly prepared us for the possibility that she wouldn’t make it through the night.

But rescue is our promise - and our promise is unwavering. When an animal fights… we fight WITH them.

Stormy endured round-the-clock ICU care, a nasal cannula forcing the oxygen her little lungs couldn’t pull in, endless monitoring, and a medical team working desperately to stabilize her. There were moments when the doctors were sure we were losing her - words that are burned into our memory forever.

And then… the miracle we'd been waiting for. This precious girl who once lay limp and fading lifted her head - and decided to fight. Slowly, her strength surged. Her oxygen needs began to drop. Each breath was coming more easily.

Today?
Stormy is living an incredible life of love and adventure with her adoring forever family.

Her story is living proof of what compassion — YOUR compassion — makes possible.

Every miracle at PRAR… every life pulled back from the brink… every second chance… It happens because people like you step up when it matters most.

💜 Today on Colorado Gives Day, your donation helps fund life-saving care for dogs just like Stormy — the ones who should’ve died, but WON’T because a compassionate village is fighting with them.

Your gift to Pawsitive Restorations saves lives.
Your compassion helps create miracles.

💜🐾 Please take 60 seconds and swipe through these photos.
Meet the - six 4-week-old infants who were abandoned when their owners moved away and took their mother with them.

They were left alone.
No food.
No warmth.
No fence.
No protection from the coyotes or the train tracks just behind the house.

They huddled in filth under that rotting porch… terrified, starving, freezing… just trying to stay alive.

And somehow - by the grace of God - they made it long enough for someone to find them.

Today, these babies are safe.
Warm.
Fed.
Protected.
Loved.

Too young to stay at the shelter and too young to be adopted - Rescue was their only chance...
and rescue ONLY exists because of people like YOU.

💜 TODAY - your donation is DOUBLED (up to $3,000) thanks to Regal Restoration Llc. Every dollar donated on becomes TWO for the Porch Babies and so many others who depend on our program for life-saving care.

💜 Fam… look at these babies. LOOK AT THEM! 👀

This is why matters - Because .
This is why the December MATCH — up to $20,000 — matters so damn much!

• I want people to FEEL what we feel when these cases land in our lap.
• When someone sends a message that starts with “I didn’t know who else to call…”
• That moment when your stomach drops.
• That moment when you whisper, “Okay baby, we’ve got you now.”
• That moment when you KNOW saying yes is going to hurt - financially, emotionally, physically - and you say yes anyway.

💜 Because these three little souls (and hundreds more just like them) are what “YES” looks like.

💔 Heartly - Five weeks old. 1.5 pounds.
Dumped in the middle of nowhere with her mother and sister like garbage. She was sick. An absurd overburden of worms and parasites were eating her alive leaving her weak and malnourished.
And those lesions… fam, she was covered in them from head to toe.

We watched her fight for every ounce of weight she put on.
We watched her tiny body do everything it could to survive through a terrifying glucose crash and parvo exposure.
We nurtured her through three months of treatment - because walking away from this innocent baby simply was not an option.

💔 Ronald - Straight into the ICU, into the oxygen chamber for pneumonia and an NG tube placed because he had no strength left to eat. A puppy mill “throwaway” who almost didn’t make it.

I remember the smell of the diarrhea laden with campylobacter, the fear in his eyes, the way I paced through the nights because he couldn’t even take in nourishment on his own. There were DAYS of hovering between “maybe it's time” and “please, God, help him fight.”

He didn't bounce back in days.
It took months to rebuild the joyful little furball he *should* have been from the beginning.

💔 Nick - A 4-month-old kitten found nearly dead in a sticker bush beside a busy road.
Too dehydrated to lift his head.
Too malnourished to fight.
A raging upper respiratory infection shutting everything down.
He went straight into the ICU — and then spent eight more weeks learning that safety and love were real things that applied to him, too. 💜🐾

Guys… every single one of these babies would have been dead within days.
Dead.
No second chance. No miracle. No warm beds or full bellies. No future.

But PRAR - our PACK - this ridiculously amazing little village that refuses to look away - said YES.

And that YES?
It costs money.
Money we simply do not have without your support.
Without this community showing up like they always do when the stakes are life or death.

💜 WHO PAWSITIVE RESTORATIONS IS...

We aren’t the biggest rescue in Colorado.
Our name isn't splattered all over social media.
We aren’t the ones flipping out thousands of animals a year with minimal investment.
We take a lot of cases that other organizations simply can't take due to the length of time or costs involved in saving an animal who is no less deserving than any other innocent kiddo.

🚫 We don’t receive city funding.
🚫 We don’t receive county funding.
🚫 We get exactly 0️⃣ support from the huge animal welfare groups who make millions of dollars each year.
🚫 We don’t have giant corporate sponsors writing six-figure checks.
🟢 We survive — and THEY survive — because a village of compassionate humans has watched us fight like hell to save lives for 9 years, believes in our mission, and chooses US.
🟢 Because they believe their donation should make a meaningful difference in an animal’s life.
🟢 Because they see the receipts — the faces — of what their generosity makes possible.

🥰💪😴 This rescue runs on love, grit, sleepless nights, and the dedicated volunteers and supporters who refuse to walk away from suffering.

💜 Today is Colorado Gives Day. The biggest giving day of the year for Colorado nonprofits. — and we are SO CLOSE to meeting a very generous $20,000 donation!

This day of helps determine how many YESes we can give when innocent animals are in critical need of help.
It determines whether we can keep doing the life-saving work that NO funding source backs but these orphaned animals deserve.

✅ If our orphan's stories have ever move you…
✅ If you've adopted a life we've saved...
✅ If you’ve witnessed the miracles this rescue creates…
✅ If you believe in giving the most fragile orphans the kind of fighting chance every living creature deserves…
✅ If you believe in our mission...
If you want your donation to MATTER…

​👉 Please consider a tax-deductible gift to PRAR today.
👉 Or become a monthly donor so we never have to hesitate when the next emergency hits.

Give because YOU would have saved them too.
Give because YOU are part of every single miracle here.
Give because today, your generosity goes twice as far.
