I'm sorry it's long but I need you to read this.

I know everyone gets tired of hearing that nonprofit organizations need donations. We get tired of begging, too. But here is the simple truth, we are not state funded. We rely on amazing people to donate what they can, whether it's $5 or $500. We spend hundreds of hours a month filing for grants that are most likely to be given to "big" charities that already have hundreds of thousands of dollars pouring in each month. I'm not saying they aren't worthy. I'm saying we can't compete with them. They get to pay millions to their CEOs, board of directors, and staff members. We can't pay ours anything and worse we have to ask if they can chip in because the funds to cover bills aren't there.

Our cause is worthy too. Our cause deserves support. I work 24/7 rescuing animals, answering calls and concerns, taking care of the fuzzies in our care, feeding them, making sure they are well and comfortable. Plus I do all the tax papers and reporting we have to do to stay open.

Over 5,000 charities close yearly due to lack of support. Our budget is one of the smallest and we still can't make ends meet. Please help us stay open. There has to be someone to care for these abandoned and discarded animals. Any money I make goes to support it but it's not enough.

So once again, here I am begging. If God/your higher power/your heart moves you to donate, we greatly appreciate it. If He moves you to share, we appreciate that too.

If anyone has a decent wood pellet stove they can hand-me-down to the rescue, we'd be super grateful. We've spent $600 the last 30 days and $150 of that was just in the last week.

Tell me something you never thought you'd say but you say it to your pet(s) all the time.....
I'll start:
"Please don't come in here and sniff my butt while I'm on the toilet "
Your turn....

Dorbad passed away in our nap. It was just a little bit ago and I was stroking him and talking to him about how great he is and he took a deep breath and and was gone. I'm grateful that it was so peaceful but I really didn't see it coming today. 😭💔 Justin has taken 14 this year. I knew it was coming bc we have had so many that were seniors when we got them years ago. But knowing never makes it easier. Hold your babies close tonight. This was the night we got him in the cage he came in.

WHAT'S RESCUE LIFE REALLY LIKE? It's getting up at 5am to take out a puppy then giving two cats flea baths while tears roll down your face cause you are exhausted and burnt out but you can't depend on anyone to help because this is your mission not theirs. It's being sick AF but having to drag yourself out of bed to get stuff done anyway. Cause too many babies are counting on you. It's begging for funds to support the rescue and getting hateful and judgemental blow back from people who think you just sit around playing with the animals all day instead of spending all your time trying to take care of sick fur babies and clean disgusting messes. It's writing grant request after grant request, spending hours trying to get companies to care, only to be rejected over and over. It's living on the edge of failure, constantly stressed out, over far more than you can handle. It's living in a continuous state of grief as you lose so many no matter how hard you fight for them. It's feeling like a bad mom, a bad person, a bad friend, a bad family member, all alone in the world, cause you can't juggle everything and make everyone happy and work miracles and make ends meet. It's being depressed and getting the hope stomped out of you but having to go on anyway. It's never being validated. It's being too afraid to keep asking for help because you can't handle any more judgement, betrayal, and abandonment. There is nothing I have done that is harder than running a rescue. I have survived cancer, addiction, prison, decades of sexual abuse, the death of my husband (I'm sort of surviving that), serious medical issues, poverty, constant pressure, grief, and struggle. I have fought my way through every day and every step of the way in my life. This is harder than all of that. Why don't I quit? This is my calling and all these guys are counting on me. I'm their mom and moms don't quit. I'm not trying to make any one feel guilty or sorry for me. You have your own li

Oh Mack. I am such a sucker for that face
