Today is the last day of the year, and what a year it has been. 🐾❤️
2025 has been a great year. We have grown, we have learned so much, and we have met some truly amazing families. We have also expanded our family through the incredible people we have met along the way.
This year, we were blessed to become close with another wonderful family and their amazing children, who hold a very special place in our hearts. Cynthia Scott has gone far beyond what anyone could ever expect, always thinking of ways to help our rescue grow and generously hosting events to support our mission.
We also had the chance to finally meet the two incredible people behind the scenes at The Gathering Place Animal Rescue, Sanctuary and Ministry, where the majority of our puppies come from, and our transporter Ann Marie Shugart / Annies Promise has truly become family. These connections mean more to us than words can express.
In 2025, we successfully helped 204 dogs. For a home and family based rescue, that is huge. This work doesn’t stop. It happens every single day. From daily care to vet appointments, working through behaviors such as resource guarding, crate training, decompression, and everything in between, it is truly a labor of love and a mission I take to heart.
We also went through one bad bite from a behavioral case, but my hand is still intact… lol. Rescue is not always easy, but it is always worth it.
I want to start by thanking my husband Jeremy Neurath, who supports me and my dream endlessly and is absolutely the muscle behind the scenes. I could not do this without you.
To our amazing daughter, thank you for always jumping in to help and for playing with and loving the rescues in our care. You are a huge part of this journey.
A very special thank you goes to Donielle Savage. You did not just adopt. You stepped right in beside me and joined me on this wild rescue adventure. You have truly made this year fun, and I am beyond grateful for you and all of your help, along with Woody and Alex.
Another big thank you to Mandalynn Surrell, who keeps me organized, puts up with my random moments of wanting to change the layout of our website, and always makes sure it has everything we need. I truly do not know what I would do without you.
A special shout-out to the amazing doctors and staff at Eastford Veterinary Clinic for taking such incredible care of our rescues. Every single one of you has played a significant role in the lives and journeys of our dogs, and we are endlessly grateful for your dedication and compassion.
Thank you to my family, my parents Sandra Mendes King and my sister Samantha King, who believe in me, in this rescue, and in the mission, and who support me through it all. Your belief and encouragement mean more than you know.
And finally, thank you to all of our followers, donors, supporters, volunteers, and adopters. You are the reason we can keep going and continue saving lives.
2026 is going to be a big year, and we cannot wait to share what is ahead with all of you.
✨ Keep an eye on our page tomorrow. We have something VERY exciting to share, and you will not want to miss it. ✨
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of the Doggoholic family. 🐶✨
