Update on the emaciated girl, now named Nala!

She is doing well at The Critter Connection. She was initially very aggressive (who wouldn’t be - she was hangry!), but is now learning what love is and how to take treats. She is being fed slowly so she can safely gain back her weight.

She will remain in boarding there for the unforeseen future as we do not have any available foster homes.

Our little Harmony is growing like a w**d! We got her DNA results back and she’s a mix of many things, but primarily Mountain Cur and Norwegian Elkhound.

We expect her to be a medium sized dog, highly intelligent, with a strong prey drive. She’ll need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. She will not be a lazy lap dog by any means!

Finding out her DNA as a pup lets us know what kind of home she’d fit best in. Our goal is always to place animals in their forever home, and knowing what to expect helps us do that!

This is why we rescue!!!!!!

Jenny was afraid of every single noise or movement when we got her. She wouldn’t get near a human, let alone enjoy being petted.

A year and three months later, she has learned to trust her foster mom (for the most part) and acts like a normal dog. She loves running around, playing, and smelling all the smells.

We are hopeful that, someday soon, she’ll warm up to other humans and become an adoptable dog. Until then, her foster mom will continue to love on her and give her the best life possible.

🚨 🚨 SOS 🚨 🚨

It’s us again, y’all. 💔

This sweet baby was seized by local law enforcement today. Obviously, we couldn’t say no to helping. She was taken immediately to The Critter Connection for evaluation and boarding (we do not have any available foster space).

This is one of many vet bills we just can’t afford right now, but how do we turn away a baby that needs help?

We have zero funds and are begging for support. You can donate in several ways, including directly to The Critter Connection if you prefer.

Our PayPal email is [email protected] or you can click the link below. Checks can be mailed to FOALC, PO Box 24, Griffithsville WV 25521

Please help us help her. She doesn’t deserve the life she’s been given and was days away from certain death. With your help, we can give her the life she has always dreamed of. Please share.

Thanks to the grant we received from the State’s spay/neuter program, we were able to alter 128 animals in Lincoln County this year! We received $12,500 and then contributed $3,125 of money we raised for a total of $15,625 spent.

Sadly, this is just a drop in the bucket towards the amount of funding needed to take care of our overwhelming pet population. We still have a long waiting list for spay/neuter assistance. These will be addressed in the Spring if we are awarded funds during the next grant cycle.

We’d like to be able to continue our mission in the meantime. If you’re able to donate, please do so that we can continue to work down our waiting list.

Thanks to The Critter Connection for offering low cost spay/neuter services and working so well with us to get this massive job completed! Please see comments for their current rates regarding spay/neuter procedures.

💔 Hey friends!!! We know it feels like we’re always asking, but the need never ends. So many cats and kittens still need to be spayed or neutered before the cycle starts again.

Right now, we’re completely out of spay/neuter funds. 😢 We can’t keep helping our community cats and dogs without your support.

Please, if you can spare anything at all, donate to help us get these babies fixed and give them a chance at a better life. Every dollar makes a difference. 🐾❤️

If you are in need of dog/cat food, please visit Healing Heart Food Pantry tomorrow (Wednesday, November 12th) and ask one of the workers for pet food. You’ll need to sign up with the pantry, but that means you’ll also have access to people food too. ❤️

Please bring a form of ID. Starts at 10am.

11/09/2025

We’ll be distributing cat/dog food to Healing Heart Food Pantry and The Nancy this week for them to be able to hand out along with their food items.

We know times are hard and we wish we could help every single person that asks us for food. We try our best to honor all requests, but sometimes we don’t have enough funds to send full bags to people.

We’ll be dividing up what we bought into gallon bags so we can help as many people as possible.

If you’d like to donate to this cause, click below or donate via PayPal at [email protected] or mail a check to PO Box 24, Griffithsville WV 25521.

If donating by PayPal or check, please indicate that you want the funds to go towards pet food donations and we’ll make sure it gets set aside for just that!

ETA - You can also donate via our Chewy Wish List
