Hi! I am Katniss Everdrool! ( that's my new brother, Woodford). I am loved by my mom and dad, I am their 14th St.Bernard, and their 1st Saint puppy. Mom has worked with Saint Rescue for 25 years, I am the first non-rescue. I am spoiled and sweet. My favorite thing to do besides having zoomies with Woodford, is going for motorcycle rides in the special trailer my humans made for me. I hope my blood is never needed but I'm glad I can donate, just in case! WOOF WOOF DROOL DROOL!

Charlie is a 5 year old Husky who was rescued by such a loving family. You can see by the first picture, Charlie didn’t always have the sweet life he has now. He was actually recently very ill and unfortunately unable to find a foster. Before his family came along he was scheduled to be euthanized…. But he was “fostered” and showed off his big goofy self when he felt better. Making his family a foster fail, they adopted sweet Charlie and are happy to help the community!

01/12/2024

Charlie’s first donation went so perfect. We can’t wait to see him again!
Genie is one of our emergency technicians cat and has donated before! We always appreciate him coming in despite that resting grouch face 😇

01/01/2024

Cheers to 2023 🥂🎆
We have said it once and we will continue to say it. WE COULD NOT DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU! The gratitude we have for our donors and their families is without end. Each one is so special to us and we are eager to donate NEW donors in 2024 that we didn’t get a chance to this year. With that said, we wish nothing but the best to our families, our donors, and all of our recipients - weather they are spending the new year over the rainbow bridge or home with their families.
To 2024🥂
May it bring you peace, happiness, love, prosperity, and cheap vet bills 🤪

I’m Dexter 🐶 and I got to go to work with my momma to donate blood for other doggies. I have to be on my best boy behavior and not move too much for the girls. They said my tail was wiggling the whole time. Dr. Redavid protected me and told me I was such a good handsome boy 🤭. I didn’t get up until they told me. I told my momma all about it when I was done. 🐾
