Jenny is ready to find her forever home! She has made amazing progress since we rescued her and will make someone a wonderful best friend!

Jenny will require someone with patience and gentleness. She is still very hesitant with strangers and does not trust easily, both are completely understandable given her history of neglect. Once she warms up to you, though, she gives SO much love and affection.

Because of this, Jenny needs a home with no small children. Small kiddos don’t fully understand boundaries, so for their safety and Jenny’s, it’s best if only older children are around her.

Jenny is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and is treated monthly for fleas/ticks. She is 1-2 years old and around 40 pounds. She gets along great with other dogs with the proper introduction. We are unsure how she would be with cats as she has not been around them much.

If you’re interested in adopting Jenny, please message us to schedule a meet and greet. Her adoption fee is $100 and all medical records will be provided.

Please share to help Jenny find the perfect t home so she can start fresh in the new year!

We’ve been a little quiet lately, but that’s not because we’ve been lazy! It’s been a busy few weeks lining up everyone to do the work on our new shelter property. We are happy to report that step is complete and every business/person we have hired is from Lincoln County! It’s important to us to develop our project using county resources and support those that live and work around us.

That being said, unfortunately every system in the home needs redone as well as some structural work. 😞 This is going to take lots of time, money, and patience. We are currently looking at early Spring, most likely, before we will be operational. We did manage to snag some great Black Friday deals on kennels and supplies, though, so when the house is finished we’ll be ready to go!

We have hired Nathan Howard to be our general handyman/fixer upper. He’s from Branchland and was more than happy to assist us. He’s currently working on getting doors and windows installed along with fixing the rot that has occurred on the back of the house.

Please continue to share our posts and help us spread the word about our project. Once complete, we are going to need the continued help of our community to make this sustainable. We send sincere thanks to everyone who has helped thus far and can’t wait to get to the finish line!

Waffles would love to be “home” for Christmas. He has the potential to be a great family dog. All he needs is a little training and not to be cooped up in a kennel 24/7. He is such a love bug and just wants someone to call his own. If you’re looking for a dog who will be by your side at all times, Waffles is your man. Looking for an approved rescue or local adopter.

Name: Waffles
Age: 1.5 years young
Weight: Approximately 65-70 pounds

Neutered. Up to date on all vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Zero aggression issues and is great with kids and other dogs. He has not been around cats, so I’m unsure how he would do with them. Please share if you know someone who might be interested.

This sweet 2-3 week old baby that we were told was found in a ditch with a severe leg wound. It’s leg will be amputated by our wonderful vet at The Critter Connection tomorrow. Our vet bills are currently paid off and we’d like to keep it that way. Please donate towards this little one’s care if you can or share if you cannot.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We are grateful for all our supporters, big and small! We have started the painting and cleaning process and will continue tomorrow! Any and all volunteers are welcomed and appreciated!

11/27/2024

We will be back out at Blue Lick tomorrow (Wednesday) cleaning and painting if anyone would like to come and help. Planning on being there at 9am until we get tired. The electric is getting turned on tomorrow and hoping to get the water on too! Security cams are going up as well!

Directions: Turn onto Hubball Road (across from Branchland Lumber). Follow onto 6 mile. It’s around 4 miles until you’ll see Blue Lick on the left. Our house will be the first one on the right across the creek.

While Anna may think that love is an open door, we prefer ours closed and secure! 🤣

We are looking for someone to install three doors ASAP so we can secure our new place! Installation would be frame and all, as well as possibly repairing some rot around the existing frames. Wednesday would be ideal as we will be back out there working most of the day. We can have the doors on site and ready to go.

We’d love if someone could volunteer their services (end of year tax write off 😉) but can pay a reasonable fee. Please tag any business/contractor/handyman you know that may be able to help and/or share this post!

Oh, and we made the news again! Thank you so much WSAZ NewsChannel 3 for the continued coverage of our rescue efforts!

Volunteers have been donating their time and effort for the good the shelter will bring to the county.

Today was the epitome of the old saying “many hands make light work”. We got the property completely cleaned out in less than 8 hours!

Thank you to everyone that showed up to help, especially Blake Holbert with Clutter Crushers. Not only did he donate the services of hauling things away, but he helped clean and load it all up. If you ever need junk hauled, a house cleaned out, or even gravel delivered, he’s your guy!

While we know there were concerns, we are happy to report that no one was exposed to any kind of drug or hazardous substance. We are also happy to report that no one caused us any trouble. It was truly an amazing day!

We can’t wait to get this project finished, but we cannot do it without the help of our community. Please keep an eye out for future requests for help. We are currently compiling a list of needs and will post another update soon!

11/23/2024

WE HAVE OUR LEASE!

If you are free on Monday, we will be having a work party to clean up the property. Please message us if you’re able to help and we will add you to our volunteer group for information!

Great things are happening in Lincoln County!!!!

Lots of great things have been happening behind the scenes for our rescue! We’ll be sharing some details soon and some after the new year! 😃

Our mission is to rescue animals from situations that are abusive, endangering and neglectful; to provide foster homes/vet care for these animals; to promote/assist with

*Courtesy Post* - We do not have these cats nor do we have any availability to take in cats at this time.

These beautiful cats are looking for new homes due to their owners’ battle with cancer. She has loved these cats well but can no longer care for them. All are female and spayed. Very friendly and up to date on vaccines. If you know someone looking to adopt, or are a rescue that can help, please contact us and we’ll get you in touch with the owners.

We may be small but we are mighty! In just 6 short months, we have saved the lives of 56 Lincoln County animals! This has been done with very limited resources and without having any sort of facility to work out of. Imagine what we could do with the proper funding and facilities?!? 😱 We’ll get there one day, but for now we celebrate the lives of those we saved.

Waffles is still looking for his forever home. He’s growing very tired of the kennel life. He would make an excellent outdoor dog because that’s where he loves to be - running free and jumping in all the muddy puddles! He’s only a year old so he has lots of life left. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Please share so he can find his person!

Coming from a military family, the armed forces are near and dear to my heart. My father served 20 years in the United States Air Force and continues to serve today in the Air National Guard. We cannot thank our veterans and their families enough for their service. I know and understand the sacrifices that are made daily.

In honor of our military veterans, we are offering 20% off services THIS WEEK (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) for all military personnel with an ID card. You MUST have your ID present to receive discount!

Please share!

Thank you for your service
