Seeing any dog run like a gazelle is a thing of beauty but Liberty is a ! Look at her go!
🌟 Meet Liberty – the name says it all! This joyful, resilient girl is the definition of strength and spirit all wrapped-up in a sleek, playful package. After surviving a gunshot wound that led to the amputation of one of her front legs, Liberty has shown that nothing can slow her down. Now a well-adjusted tripod, she runs like a greyhound and lives life at full throttle—with three legs and a zest for life! Liberty loves nothing more than zipping around the dog with her foster dad and foster dog brother, racing in giant loops and playing chase with her doggy friends. She recently discovered the magic of sprinklers and hoses and decided they're absolutely marvelous. As for swimming… she's not convinced just yet, but she’s a big fan of splashing in the shallows and goofing around in the water with Buddy, her foster dog brother.
This girl is equal parts silly, smart, and sweet. She’s doing great on leash walks—unless there’s a squirrel nearby (Liberty is the self-appointed Queen of Squirrel Patrol). She currently enjoys three to four short walks a day, covering about 0.7 miles at a time, and always chooses the best spots to rest—usually next to her favorite squirrel trees, of course. Liberty is an affectionate, people-loving pup who melts into snuggles, belly rubs, and cozy cuddle time. She gets along well with other dogs and is currently learning all the social skills from her gentle lab mix foster brother. Whether as a solo pet or part of a pack, Liberty is seeking a home filled with love and connection.
Liberty is crate and house trained, well mannered, and loving the indoor life. She’s not much of a barker (unless she gets left behind on a walk—then she might protest once), and has shown a gentle, intuitive side around kids and even cats she’s met briefly. Zoomies in the yard? Check. Power naps after? Double check. At about 53 pounds, Liberty is long, lean, and athletic—possibly a Hound and Staffordshire Terrier mix. But most importantly, she’s a survivor, a snuggler, and a soul ready for her forever person. 💖 Liberty has already overcome so much a

MOM WENT INTO A NURSING HOME. OLIVER AND BENTLEY NEED A NEW HOME.
Bentley came to the rescue with his brother Oliver and is quite attached to him. Bently is very shy and hides when his brother Oliver is not around so we would like these two boys to be adopted together. Oliver very outgoing with both humans and kittes and enjoys playing and interacting. He makes Bentley feel as ease. Their beloved mom had to move into a nursing home, and now these sweet are kitties looking for a new family to love. At about 1.5 years of age, this handsome pair is ready to share their lives with a new family!
PLEASE SHARE: Abe is honestly about as cute as a German Short Hair pup could be! At approximately a year old, he’s close to full grown at just 30 lbs, so we call him a pocket sized GSP! Abe is big and strong enough for any adventure you have in mind, but can also fit in your lap (or at least he thinks he fits!). True to his breed, Abe is active and smart, so his adopter(s) need to be ready, willing, and able to channel that energy positively; he’d love to be a running buddy, hiking companion, ranch dog, etc., and he’ll need some proper obedience training basics. He’ll be a quick study as he loves treats and aims to please! Such a pleaser in fact, that Abe has done a great job of befriending every dog he’s met, and has been respectful but curious of the cats he’s encountered. Wrastling with canine companions is another great way for this guy to get some wiggles out. Oh! And don’t forget the toys- he loves them! When the day is done, sweet Abe is all about couch cuddles. Abe has not had any accidents at his foster home and after some settle in time, he sleeps through the night in his crate.
If you would like to adopt this wonderful pup, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ . The adoption fee of $300 will help defray the costs of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and vetting.
Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our cats as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue.

Mama Lola and her 8 puppies have all found their forever families! Mama was the very first one to be adopted. The last 3 littler that Janet and Greg Best have fostered, the mom has been one of the first to be chosen. We love when that happens! 💘
No lie, fostering this many puppies (they had 2 more at the same time) is a full time job.
🦹♀️🦸♂️Who else thinks Janet and Greg are super stars! Thank you for your care, devotion and love of doggies!

Meet Asher - With his sweet tabby stripes and endearing crossed eyes, Asher is impossible not to fall in love with. This 2-year-old male cat is a gentle soul whose world recently changed—his beloved owner had to move into a nursing home, and now Asher is searching for a new family to call his own.
Asher is affectionate, loyal, and clearly missing the human he loved so much. He’s the kind of cat who will quietly follow you from room to room, just to be near you. He’ll nuzzle your hand for pets and gaze up at you with his uniquely charming eyes, full of hope and love. This special boy deserves a second chance at a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and connected once again. If you're looking for a quiet, loving companion who will bond deeply with you, Asher is ready to fill that role—with lots of purrs and head bumps included. Can you help Asher start over again?
Got this nice note about Echo, one of the first dogs i adopted 8 years ago. Seems like a lifetime ago.
In August it will be 8 years since I got Echo from you guys. We had these photos done and seeing all the gray in her was a little sad (her age is really starting to show this year) but yet happy at the same time because she went from dumped in a box to so so loved and spoiled. I can’t thank you all enough for everything you do for all the animals! I know it is not easy. Thank you for getting her to me I don’t know what I’d do without my sweet Echo. ❤️

There are times when rescue will crack open your chest and expose your vulnerable heart as if to say, "so you think your strong; let's see if you can keep beating. And you continue because there are other souls who need you. You have dogs arriving that you committed to. So you put put one foot in front of the other and soldier on. And then several people break their commitments to you. You feel your heart race in disappointment. Your adrenal surge; the blackness quickly seeps into your exposed heart. And somehow you manage to quiet yourself and continue on. You tell your heart to believe the next applicant who says the same words to you. That they will be there; that they will do what they say. They don't understand why you are so jaded and skeptical and frazzled. So you go through the motions once again; daring to believe their spoken words; hoping their actions are aligned with their promises. And then a puppy dies and you feel the heavy boots stomping on your barely beating heart, and it's difficult to breathe. You take a few minutes to weep and be angry. And your phone continues to ring, your texts beep at you insistently, messenger is pinging you, applications need to be reviewed, the animals need to be fed and walked. So you pick-up your mangled, barely beating heart and shove it back inside and you do what needs to be done.
Thank you CJ for these supportive words this morning. They helped me keep up the good fight.
"Was thinking about what you went through & will most likely go through, again. Losing an animal can & will always be hard, just like when we lose our own loved ones. It tears our hearts to shreds. But we are driven to end the great suffering we see. A greater mysterious being must've wanted that lil' innocent four-legged being back into the realm of the purity of innocence, it just wasn't the puppy's time to experience existence here on Mother Earth just, yet. You were just put into that dog's path in life to help. That's all it is. You are using your heart to help stop different kinds of suffering in a humane & compassionate way. The Great Mysterious Being is constantly hovering around us, we breath its existence every waking day of our li

🌞When you're taking 10 puppies and a mama dog to be spayed and neutered. Mama Holly was taken in my a neighbor after her owner had a litter of puppies (Holly included) and no longer wanted any of them. Holly was just a puppy herself (10 to 12 months) when she became pregnant because she was not spayed. Holly had 8 of her own puppies and being the amazing creature that she is, she "adopted" 2 stray pit bull puppies who were only a couple weeks old and had lost their mama. They surely would have perished if not for Holly.
🥰Holly has already been adopted!!
🐶We have 5 of her puppies who are still seeking homes! Please take a look at Hamilton, Hendrix, Hunter and her 2 surrogate puppies, Bullwinkle and Blossom at https://www.circle2rescue.com/available-pets/
🙌Thank you Janet and Greg Best and all their grandkids for taking the best care of Holly and her babies! Some of you may remember that their grandson Liam went on the last transport with his grandpa. And this morning Aiden is helping get all the puppies and Holly to their spay/neuter appointments. Is that a cool family or what?

Circle 2 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported entirely from the generous donations of animal lovers and through our adoption fees. We have a network of committed volunteers, foster homes, and local veterinarians who are the backbone of our organization. Without these people Circle 2 rescue could not operate. 100% of our funds go toward the animals - we do not have any paid positions. We are determined to keep administrative expenses low so every dollar donated goes directly to our animals. We operate on a shoestring budget and rely on our incredible volunteers to provide loving foster homes, shuttle dogs to vet appointments and work applications so we can find quality homes that are a great match for our pups!
We rescue the old, the infirm and the young. The abandoned, abused and injured. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. Our job is to nurture, heal, and love the animals and then place them with carefully screened adopters.
Circle 2 Rescue saves 400 - 450 animals a year. We take special needs dogs and those needing medical attention, not just the cute, cuddly puppies that everyone loves to love. Some of our companions stay with us for several months while they receive the care they need. The $250 adoption fee for adults barely covers the cost of rescuing a healthy dog. If they need extra veterinary care the adoption fee is not enough to cover the costs.
Your donations are critical . Every dollar makes a difference. Here is what your donations can do:
$15 pays for a microchip
$25 pays for a rabies, distemper, or bordetella vaccination
$30 feeds an animal for a month
$50 pays for a veterinary exam
$75 pays for one neuter surgery
$100 pays for one spay surgery
$150 refuels our van to transport the dogs from small, rural communities in Montana and high kill shelters in Texas.
$250 covers the cost of getting a dog ready for adoption. ie. spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip and food
$500 will spay 5 female dogs
$1,000 sponsors 4 dog adoptions (covers all spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food, etc.)
$5,000 covers veterinary expenses for all animals in foster care for one month
