Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Stanly County saw its share of downed trees and power outages due to Tropical Storm Helene last week. But it is nothing compared to what happened in other parts of the Southeast, including Asheville, Boone and other parts of Western North Carolina. Several....

Ryland is currently at Orchard Point Kennels a great Board and Train facility. He’ll be ready for adoption as soon he completes his fine tuning. He is a high energy pup that would make a great jogging partner or if you’re willing to put the time in I believe he would make a great Agility dog.

Contact Stephanie Bailey if interested.

It is with a heavy heart, we announce that our special needs little girl, Thumbelina, took her last breath last night around 9pm. She had started losing weight, for which blood work didn't reveal any cause. Placed on B12 shots, oral b12, and mirtazapine to encourage eating, but her body simply was giving up. Pancreatic enzymes weren't working fast enough. She was placed on a dog bed in the sun, surrounded by the dogs she knew and spent time with. Eventually, she crossed the bridge. RIP, Thumbelina. Run free.

UPDATE
“Kilo” found his forever home!!

Hi All,
Let’s share and if we can get this handsome dude a home!
Through no fault of his own, he is looking for a family to call his own.

Meet “Kilo”
He is between 3-4 years old
Neutered
Up to date on shots
Bully Breed (did we mention HANDSOME!!) 😍
Big, playful, a little dominant but only because he didn’t have play friends previously.
Currently temporarily fostered with a male and female. He gets a little jealous, but with slow intros and supervised play time he is great!!

Videos of him off leash for the first time and play with his foster family available.

Please reach out to Anita Simoni and I can put you in contact with the fosters to answer any questions.

One of the rules that we've always had since this rescue started is to take things nice and slow. Our adopters have probably heard us say numerous times over the years that we like to take baby steps. This is exactly what we are doing with Thumbelina. Now, we are letting her not only run around the house as it is too cold to go outside for her, but we are also letting her play with other dogs. We just have to match her with dogs that aren't playing too rough. This of course is something challenging to do as the size differential is quite substantial. One thing we definitely know is that she loves to nap on the couch with some of the other dogs.

11/21/2022

Good morning from Thumbelina! She is active, rambunctious, and getting stronger. She will be available to a very special home sometime in the beginning of 2023. Who needs a tiny handful of bully cuteness?

11/14/2022

Today, right off of the transport from california, we welcomed our latest rescue, Ivy. She's about three or four years old, weighs about 22 to 25 lb, has to be fixed but will be ready for adoption soon. Get those applications filled out and turned in, as we are first come first serve. People who have previously applied for another Frenchie will be first in line.

Quick Thumbelina video update:

Nala, the goofy queen, is finally ready for her forever home. She is 1.5 years old, weighs about 40lbs, is up-to-date on shots, spayed, and healthy. This English Bulldog loves other dogs and kids. Contact us directly for an application.

Last night around 8:30, Thumbelina was found with difficulty breathing and a hard time walking. Her background is because she was surrendered due to what mat have been a numerological episode such a stroke. Since being kenneled with Chunk the Frenchie, she perked up a lot. It was decided to drive to the closest emergency vet that could get her in, and that was an hour away. When we got there, she was seen, some blood work was and xrays were taken. We know now she has deformity in her back and an enlarged heart, but the vet did NOT necessarily think heart disease or defect. She is just super small for her age, so there were numerous explanations likely. Blood work came back normal. They did some mino procedures and prescribed meds to help her comfort. This morning, she is sleeping well next to Chunk. As you know, we rarely ask for donations, but this dog will need all the help she can get whether she goes to a home or stays at our Sanctuary. If you can donate, please do so to paypal.me/memoriesofbesarescue

Today's rescue is brought to by the words "cute", "ridiculous", and "seriously". Meet Chunk named for the character in the classic movie, The Goonies. He is a neutered, UTD, 6-month old frenchie boy ready for his new home (after we feed him a lot).
