For the sake of being humane.

One of my favorite things to do is pass out new toys to all the adoptable dogs!

05/11/2025

I was looking over our photo albums here on our page and realized that I haven’t posted any adoption pictures since January! 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Whoopsie! Here are 90% of the adoptions that have taken place this year so far- there has been a much lower number than years in the past due to the fact that we have been closed for intake pretty much all year.

Hoping for several more before the end of this year 🤞🏻

Thank you adopters ❤️🐾

✨A huge Thank you shout out to our amazing partner- Chowhound in Holland, for donating all of this dog/cat food for the FREE community event on the 8th! ✨

Link to the event: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14WGJ3sVnyW/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This food is going to be the difference this month that keeps pets in their homes, while so many local families are suddenly struggling to feed their familes, including their pets. We are unfortunately already seeing an increase of animal surrender requests from panicked families 😔

This event is 100% Free for anyone to attend who needs a meal for themselves AND their pets!

We will have Dry dog food, cat food, wet dog food, treats, and preventatives available for families in need!

*We are still accepting donations of pet supplies for this event- message us if you have items to donate!*

✨🚨Advertise your business and Help Save our Facility! 🚨✨

As we head toward the end of the year, the sheer panic is starting to set in.

We only have 2 months left to raise a grand total of $350k in order to purchase our current facility and save our organization.
(So far we have raised roughly $138k)

In this phase of fundraising we are inviting businesses to advertise on the back of our rescue merchandise shirts/hoodies, which we are gearing up to sell to all of our followers, who live locally and across the nation! (Just in time for the holidays!)

We are hoping to gather 20 local businesses for a grand total of at least $20,000 raised to kick off this fundraiser- which will then continue to raise more funds for the facility purchase throughout the next 2 months as we sell our merchandise.

Your contribution goes directly towards the purchase of our current facility in Fennville Michigan, where we have rented and resided since 2019. Without this facility our mission as an animal rescue will come to a screeching halt, and the animals still with us at that point will have no where to go, as we will be forced to close down and vacate.

You'll also receive a social media thank-you and will be added to a sign in front of our facility (once we officially own it) that will portray every business that helps us get through this hard time- for as long as the facility remains standing.
Meaning your business will be apart of every rescue story that begins within our facilities walls for the foreseeable future.

Donation Amount: $1,000 per 3.5x3.5inch spot, there are 20 spots available!
(You can purchase more than one spot to have your logo portrayed larger if you’d like!)

Logos can be in full color, or black and white!

To sign up as a sponsor:
Either message us right here on Facebook, or email us at [email protected]

To donate:
PayPal-
Venmo- (5488 to confirm, double check it’s the right account before sending please!)
Cashapp- $FTSOBHRescue

*For The Sake Of Being Humane Animal Rescue is a 501c3 registered nonprofit, so all donations are tax-deductible. This is a great way for businesses to make a meaningful year-end contribution or charitable write-off while helping animals in need!*

Please note - this photo below is just an example, not the exact final copy of the design. All of the merchandise will be Black with our Logo and the words in white.

✨Followers- We need you to tag your favorite local businesses on this post, send this post to them, share with your business owning friends, and maybe even ask your employers! This is going to take a village!✨

Sneak peak at our SaveOurFacility shirts!

And before you crucify us for not going with the new design that we posted last week… listen… I hated it, i’m sorry! 🫣😅

But also, I have some good reasoning:

We need to sell like a LOT of these t-shirts for this aspect of fundraising to be successful, and most people who purchase merchandise do it because they intend to wear it countless times into the future. So, I wanted to go with a design that will make “sense” to other people 2years from now, after our facility has *Hopefully* long since been “Saved”, and for it to still have the marketing aspect of introducing our organization to new people. They say that someone needs to see your logo 3 times on average before they remember it and start to investigate what your business/organization is all about. A “new” logo for this fundraiser wouldn’t have the lasting marketing effect that we need to grow our organization.

So we are keeping our OG logo on the front anddddd we are adding a design on the back that will incorporate a way for local businesses to join our efforts by donating a set amount to have their business logo added to the back of our shirts!

This is a mock up design, our actual shirts will be Black with our logo in white. (We will also have Hoodies)

We have joined forces with another local small business to print all of these logos for us as DTF’s so that all we will have to do is heat press them onto shirts and ship them out- simplifying our t-shirt/hoodie making process A LOT.

I am printing off a physical Mock up right now so that I can take some measurements and figure out how many businesses we can fit on the back of the shirts, and then I’ll make a post so that you all can tag your favorite animal loving local business that you think would like some advertising while also helping save our organization’s facility.

Do we approve of this decision? 😬🐾

We are Joining ZOMburger's and many others on November 8th for this free event! This event is open to anyone that may need some extra help this month, no questions asked!

We will be there with FREE portioned pet food, collars/leashes, and some Farm Fresh Chicken/duck eggs!

We are so excited to be apart of this event, especially with how much this community has been there to support us through our Mission this past year+

We may not be able to help this year by taking in cats/dogs- but we can help keep them in their homes during these hard times this month!

*If you have any pet food that you would like to donate to us so that we can bring it to this event and share with community members in need- please feel free to drop it off at our facility anytime before the 8th!*

A lot of people have asked what they can do to help other than a financial donation. This is hands down, the BEST thing you can do.... see these businesses and individuals that have all stepped in to help make the FREE MEAL EVENT Nov. 8th from 10a to 2p at Ridge Point possible? They all have common visions and core values that promote embracing the community when times seem unfavorable. They want nothing more but to wrap their arms around those that need it most. The best thing you can do is support those that support others. Send them a message of thanks, inquire about their services, purchase from their small business, or even refer them to a friend. A little can go a long way!

We do want to give Chris Geurink a very special shout-out. This guy is incredible.

Chris has stepped up and helped us source additional resources and it has been incredible. Thank you, Chris! We appreciate you SO much!!!

Also, if you could go to the event page and share so we can get the word out to as many people as possible!

The picture on the left allegedly portrays the areas in Michigan with the most light pollution at night.

The picture on the right is a screenshot of us on Google maps.

I feel like we owe our neighbors an apology- but there’s really a simple explanation:

The rescue animals are afraid of the dark 😬🐾

🐾🎃We have been at our current facility since 2019- that’s 7 Halloweens. 🎃🐾

Not a SINGLE trick or treater has ever stopped by, and this year we didn’t even buy any candy (I know- dumb mistake.)

We accidentally left our porch light on forgetting that is the universal signal that Candy exists on the property.

So of course- we FINALLY get our first trick or treater, an adorable “Hippie”, and had to frantically raid our snack cupboard for something worth his time…

Oreo Cakesters were located, thank god, because the alternative was farm fresh eggs or dog treats 😅

He also got to pet a baby goat, so I think we succeeded in being the coolest house on our block 😌

Anyways, next year we will do a trunk or treat here! We wanted to do one this year but our road literally just reopened yesterday and that threw off our plans to do one this year unfortunately.

Happy Halloween 👻

So, I’m pretty sure that the Book of Faces has us “shadow banned” because their new updates HATE external links. Meaning all of our donation links for PayPal, Venmo, GoFundMe, etc for the Facility fund have been keeping our posts from being seen by our followers, some of them are even being removed or being made “unshareable”. And any mention of fundraising in our posts is also apparently an issue now.

I am working to get our account Verified to hopefully resolve some of this issue, but that’s not an easy/quick process.

The lack of updates on the facility fundraising the past several days has been due to this issue, which is beyond frustrating because we dont have the luxury of time on our side right now.

I’m working on setting up a “LinkTree” today, where all of our donation links will be accessible and I can post that in the comments of our fundraising posts which should help.

Im also still working on Save Our Facility shirts- hoping to have those available starting next week, BUT I had an idea which I will be announcing in the next 48hrs, so stay tuned! ✨

🚨Missing Dog! Saugatuck MI, Area!🚨

If found, DO NOT CHASE, this dog is scared and likely will run from you! Keep an eye on the dog from a distance and Call the owner using the info in the picture, so that they can come to the scene and attempt to retrieve their pup.
