Transport nights are happy, a little sad, chaotic, and incredibly rewarding. None of these things allow for a great photo chronicle of the night's events.🤦 So many wonderful dogs and cats took their freedom ride to Chicago late last night. Thank you Starfish Animal Rescue for not only helping so many of our babies, but thank you for supplying the freedom rides for all the other wonderful rescues who are committed to helping us help them. We thank you all.❤️ Here's just a few of the passengers.😁❤️❤️

Though it's freezing outside, our hearts are definitely warm. David Lickliter and Family First Ministry never cease to amaze us with their incredible generosity. This large load of adult dog food and other essential items affords us the opportunity to take a deep breath and continue to forge forward! To everyone who donates even a single item, we want you to know just how important you all are to the success of the shelter. Sometimes the road is rocky, (or icy) 😁, but we are committed to the animals of Perry, Letcher, Breathitt and Knott Counties. Thank you each and every one. Stay tuned for pictures of the next group of freedom riders tonight! Dogs are being saved by the "village effort" of everyone involved. Thank you thank you thank you!!❤️

We received a call that this beautiful girl had shown up at a home in Breathitt county during these extreme temperatures and was suffering an injury to her leg. She was taken straight to West Liberty Veterinary clinic where it was determined she would need her leg amputated. She's safe and warm and healing well, even though she's definitely not a fan of the cone! We could use help with her veterinary care costs so we can continue to help dogs in her situation. Your support is greatly appreciated.❤️

With the extreme weather forecast we have decided to cancel our regular monthly meeting.

We want to thank everyone that would have braved the temperatures to be with us and those that continue to support our efforts!

Stay safe and stay warm!

Shelter shout-out to the staff of KRRAS. Some dug their way out and braved the roads, while others had to walk out to a location to catch a ride. Some even spent the night at the shelter to ensure the animals had staff the next morning to meet their needs. We have a scheduled rescue ground transport for tomorrow and a flight out on Sunday. If there is even a slither of hope that we can safely get these dogs and cats out to rescue, we will make it happen!

So many blessing’s 🙏🏻 happening at the shelter! 🏠 We have numerous rescues 🛟 to thank for stepping in and stepping up , now that they have the opportunity to pull, literally emptying the shelter. 🎉🎉 So far we’ve had: Davinci’s dream Woodstock Safe Hands Ky Mutts Ruby Whiskers Hopeful Tails And many more leaving this weekend ! Take a peak in our small dog room and see how happy the babies are ! We still need fosters and volunteers to help out. Won’t you be a change in a dog’s 🐕🐶🐾life today? We do the work and God gets the glory 🙌🏻

Apologies everyone- we had technical difficulties this morning with Willie and Wendy and that part of the video did not save. We also had issues this afternoon with our device overheating in the sun and won’t be able to do any more streaming today. KRRAS adoptable dogs - Sponsored adoption fees but still need an approved application.
