🐶 update 🐶Bella had confirmed foster!! Thank you Jeff and Celena!

Please share!
Foster needed only for a couple weeks!
The shelter is bulging at the seams! Moving out just one dog will make a difference. When you foster it opens up a kennel for another at the shelter.

Bella is very humble, good with other dogs and super sweet.

Saving a life is free, we supply everything and you provide the love!

Please share!!

Urgent fosters needed for Virtue and Otis.
Virtue was dumped beside the road, we suspect used for breeding, then abandoned her. Thanks to a Good Samaritan she now has a chance.
We would love to be able to keep these two from having to go to the shelter. The shelter is beyond over capacity!! Can you please help?

Virtue (blonde) is about 35-40 pounds, young about 8-9 months.

Otis, blood hound/poodle mix (blood doodle we guess) three months, male.

Both good with children and other dogs.

Can you help? We provide everything and you provide the love.

🐶🐶PUPDATE on Bridgett “the bridge dog” we truly believe she was dumped at the intersection of 476 and Hwy 15 at Go time and she was waiting for her human to return.

After feeding her everyday for two weeks the time came that we realized she would have to be trapped.

There was a lot of rescue angel’s that banned together to create these smiles. Bridgett is now waiting on her forever family that will love her for ever. We truly believe she is living a better life now than those that dumped her.

God gets the glory, we get the blessings and that’s a win-win!

WOOF!🐾

Ever wonder what the other end of transports look like? Well it’s hugs and butterfly kisses. All these kids were at the lowest point of their lives and at the mercy of fosters on the other side of the “happy ever after” bridge to pick them. Their lives are better now than even before…greeted with open arms instead of sat out beside the road wondering what they did wrong,never experiencing love and being abandoned. We work only with approved rescues that are the best in the states. Join us in thanking those that are almost 1,000 miles away for picking kids from the most remote part of Eastern KY! Mountain Rottie Rescue Voorhees Animal Orphanage.

Tonight 27 community dogs left the mountains to seek a better life. So many volunteers were involved to make it happen.

Grateful for all our fosters for opening their hearts and homes.

Grateful for our partner rescue Mountain Rottie Rescue.

Grateful for Cindy Smith for placing additional kiddos.

Grateful for Voorhees Animal Orphanage.

Grateful for our vet Dr. William Hagans at Hagans Town & Country Animal Clinic after a long day of work he stayed after hours to make sure all our kids were healthy, then helped us load the van.

Grateful for the volunteers that showed up to help us load.

Grateful for our driver.

Grateful for Find A Home Pet Rescue inc. Their generosity covered the costs to get our add ons to their final destination.

Most of all grateful to God for bringing all these rescue angels together and allowing us to be part of his plan to make a difference in the animals lives in Eastern KY.

Our fosters were dropping off foster kids and picking up new ones as they left. Not all volunteers that were there are pictured (Teresa T. and Judy). Pictures attached are of when we starting to load. The Freedom train left stacked to the top.

God gets the glory, we get the blessings…that’s a win-win!

What an amazing morning!! So many joined together to help this sweet gal!! Yep this is the lovely lady from intersection of 476 and 15.
Kim Stewart with Letcher County Animal Control let Christina Neace McIntosh borrow a trap and she set the trap this morning, the kiddo went in the trap, once trapped Kim King at Go Time decided she needed to come in and hang out in the office until Thomas Kilburn could get there to pick her up.

Thanks to the kind sponsorship of our long time supporters Ray and Carol Shepherd she will be in the care of Hagans Town & Country Animal Clinic

Carol has decided her name should be BRIDGEtte since she slept on the bridge each night. ❤️

One of the oaths a vet takes when finishing veterinary school is practice wisely…Veterinarians will practice with compassion and concern for the welfare of both humans and animals.

Last night, we had a non-life threatening emergency. We were within a mile of our vet Dr. Hagans’ home. We knew he didn’t need to leave his family to come out to the clinic, but the dog needed him asap. We called him and he immediately said “bring him up and let me look at him”.

You want to see a vet with compassion, passion, and commitment look into these eyes. His family (wife and Amyia too) met us in the driveway.

This is one of the things that makes a rescue successful…knowing everyone you surround yourself with is committed to saving lives.

Thank you Dr. William Hagans at Hagans Town & Country Animal Clinic for being you and your support for Almost Home! ❤️ WOOF! 🐾

One of our MRR friends passed this onto us and we thought it was a great idea to share.
With the 4th of July right around the corner we tend to get several calls about dogs getting out, and owners frantically trying to find them. We ask that you make sure your dogs have their collars on, updated contact information on their licenses, or do something similar to the picture below !

Please keep your pets away from fire work shows.

We love our community fur babies and want to make sure they are safe! 🐾💕
