Blessers up for good news for Dublin, Blarney, and Tic who will be seeing the neurology team. Thank you for making this possible!
āļøāļø Please STOP what you are doing and share this video to help Yeah Yeah (Flynn) find his forever home! āļøāļø
Yeah Yeah was born in rescue last June. He has been overlooked time and time again due to his heart condition and has had ZERO applications. Our hearts are breaking for this sweet and very smart boy as even though Yeah Yeah's heart isn't normal, it holds so much LOVE to give to his family. He's a very special boy!
Yeah Yeah is on daily medication for his heart condition and it is being managed beautifully! He is looking for a family that understands how special he is and will ensure he continues to receive his medication and exercise to keep him in tip top shape. His prognosis with a well managed plan looks good and he is looking for a special someone to show him all that life has to offer!
Please visit his profile to view detailed information and apply to bring this special boy home!
Yeah Yeah pictured below is on the right. He has previously gone through a stay and train program with Nerdy K9 Academy to establish a great foundation for basic obedience. He knows several basic commands, is potty trained, crate trained, and gets along fabulously with any dogs and people that he has met!

ā¼ļø Wahoo! All of our board members have pledged to make a gift to us today and are matching funds on this post up to $2,000! ā¼ļø
The video below was taken on Sunday May 22, 2022. It is a situation that happens all the time on our transport missions. When we arrived to the holding facility to pick up dogs that have been released to rescue, there are ultimately surprises of dogs that we did not expect but need a place to go. We have a limited amount of time to be able to secure a spot in rescue or we have to leave them behind to an unknown fate.
This is the hardest situation emotionally that our transport team faces, and our board members would like to raise funds to help us be able to secure funds and fosters so that we can continue to say "YES" to these dogs!
Our board members are committed to match dollar for dollar up to $2,000 on this post + an additional donation of $50 for anyone that applies to foster today and is approved into our program!
Donations can be made via this post or via one of the methods below. Please note- No one gets left behind! in the memo to be applied to our match!

Oh happy day!
After spending 10 days in the emergency hospital, Ashburn has left the building to complete the rest of his recovery in a foster home!
We have raised enough funds to cover the first two days of his stay and we currently have two others hospitalized for other illnesses. We arent sure how much longer we can continue operating in the red, we will have to take a hard look at our budgets this week so if you have a few dollars to spare and believe that these kiddos deserve a chance- PLEASE donate a dollar, $20 or $10K as any amount helps! Thank you!
Thanks to rescue and your support Ashburn now has his whole life to look forward to! THANK YOU!

Dee Dee and Dexter (standard poodle pup-10w) are both still hospitalized at this time fighting an aggressive pneumonia. They are slowly improving, but are still experiencing labored breathing, lethargy, and on/off regular appetite. We are hopeful they will continue to improve and possibly be discharged early this week.

Oscar required a brace change on Saturday due to shifting, but so far we are doing well with our first brace check. This little guy is a trooper!
Just 5.5 short weeks to go of braces! We can do this! Weāve raised approximately $700 of the estimated $4,500 for his imaging and surgery. Please consider a donation to help us raise the funds to provide Oscar the surgery he needs. Thank you!
