Tagging us in everything isn't helping- we are closed to intake for a very specific reason. We can't take in pups right now. Our 4 and 1 year old Granddaughters live with us now- it would be so irresponsible of us as a Rescue Family to bring in these dogs that need so much work. Chained dogs need decompression, and a lot of work. We don't have the capacity or the time these dogs need. I would NEVER set up a dog for failure- that's just not what we do. We will never be that Rescue. Never.

For the record, we have not had any new intakes for a couple of years now. Threatening me and my Grandbabies is off the charts wrong. My family will take you apart- I've never taken in a Pup that wasn't homeless and hopeless- And I haven't taken in a dog since we left Texas a couple of year ago. Let me say again- my family will take you apart.

I didn't write this, but no truer words have been spoken.

An open letter,

You are breaking the strongest people I've ever met.

You, with your broken fence whose dogs get out and you don't go to the shelter to pick them up.

You, with that new baby so no more room for your "best friend."

You, who needs to go on vacation but doesn't want to pay for boarding.

You, who didn't vaccinate so rescuers pour their heart, soul, and wallet into watching YOUR cat/dog die in their arms or on the vet table.

You, who didn't spay your cat/dog so she's pregnant and you can't deal with it so you drop her at the shelter or call animal control.

You, who stands in line for two and half hours to surrender your cat/dog to an overfull shelter where owner surrenders are the first to die.

You, who dumps defenseless kittens/puppies in a field where coyotes are known to roam.

You, who throws kittens/puppies out your window as you drive down the freeway.

You, who buys from a puppy-mill or pet store when moms, puppies, juveniles, and adults were murdered this morning at just one shelter among hundreds.

You, who just don't care about the living, breathing, feeling animals who depend on us to be their voice.

The strongest people I know are breaking, because of YOU. And I don't know what to tell them. There is nothing to say!!!

*WE* are those people breaking.

A couple of our ranchers that did not enjoy getting all "gussied up" - we love our girls!!! Should've known a few rescue gals wouldn't appreciate this!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 The reason we haven't taken in any of the harder cases lately is because we have a baby and toddler in the same house with our Sanctuary Pups. Setting our pups up for success is our mission, and being completely transparent is who we are. We will eventually get back to taking in the pups that need serious work, but for now we have to be responsible. Our Sanctuary Pups are, as it turns out, completely protective over their 2 leg pups, Ophelia and Kelli!! And that would be super irresponsible of us to add any stresses or triggers in their environment. Just know we will NEVER be one of those rescues that doesn't do what is responsible for our dogs. We love them so much❤️❤️

Do not bring your political crap on this page- you will be blocked immediately. Homeless dogs really don't give a crap about your political views 🙄 Adopt a Pit Bull and make the world a better place.

We lost the Alpha of our pack today. Magnolia Texas, Maggie. She kept these Pit Bulls in check, and is one of the great loves of our lives. A loss like this is one we will need time to recover from. She was my first Grandbaby. I thought losing Koko was hard, but losing Maggie is beyond words. We all love her so much ❤️ She was one of our favorite people ❤️ Love you Maggie 😍

‼️URGENT‼️ Transport van with 23 dogs and 24 cats was hit by an 18-wheeler last night at Highway 59/CR 216. Van was traveling from Corpus Christi to NE; NO SPOT animals were on board.

The transporting rescue NEEDS volunteers, especially those that know the area, to help look for their loose dogs and cats ASAP. ALL animals are microchipped. Some of the animals had to humanely euthanized due to their injuries. The rescue has volunteers there and some on their way, but they are unfamiliar with the area.

Contact person is Carrie at (361) 549-2135. Shout out to WCSO Deputy Zane Davis who contacted SPOT.

If anyone can put together lunch and/or water, we’re sure the volunteers will need it.

The drivers are currently in the hospital in ICU; please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Any JRT fans out there. Their family of 4 was killed in a head on collision, so they need someone with a heart full of love.

***pending together ***
💔💔. Rowdy and Rowley, 2 senior (12 & 13Y) purebred 12lb Jack Russell Terriers will be joining us starting tomorrow. Sadly, their story is very tragic. 3 weeks ago, their entire family (4 members) were killed in a head on collision with a semi truck. Neighbors stepped in and have been feeding them, but obviously needed help with them long term. This picture is old, both are much more frosted at this stage in life, but still equally as cute. Both pups get along great with other dogs, cats and all people. We will be searching for their forever and final home, together, in honor of what would be their parents wish. If you could find it in your heart to open your home to both pups allowing their extended family & friends hearts to be full, please send us a message. We are also looking for a foster home for both to get their coat & health in optimal shape!

Another good reason to adopt ❤️

Boss Baby never ceases to amaze me. She is living proof of what can happen when you dig in and show a pup love. She was bred countless times by some scum bag that made money off of her litters, left to roam the streets and be hit by a truck and dragged, and left at the vet because the owners didn't want to pay for her medical bills. She has pins in her hip, and traumatic brain injury and is blind in one eye- she has had issues with other dogs and we ALL did the hard work and now she lives separately from the other dogs but has made so much progress!!! If there is one pup that I say truly made me feel like what we do is amazing, it is her. I never adopted her out, because I never found a home better than with us. It has been7 years and she has taught us what Rescue can and should do. And when the Grandbabies came, she rose and shined. We are so lucky for the sweet souls that come into our lives, but especially so for Boss Baby ❤ Just an update- from a very thankful Mum of Boss Baby and a Gam of 2 now!!!
