We have a little something to share with you all! 4 years ago, our friend John was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was given 3-6 months to live at that point. Well, John is a fighter, and a few months ago, he asked my husband to do the Baja 400 race with him in Mexico. John has done the Baja 1000 a few times, but Randy has never done it.
So, here we are!

On Saturday, my husband is racing in the Baja 400!!! PPAR will be represented on the CANAM they are racing!!! Look at this sweet ride!!!! Wish them luck (and please say a little prayer that they have a safe race)!

This is a great reminder that although we may get bad news, or go through rough times, there is always something to look forward to if you’re in the right mindset! 🩷

Happy Monday! August is my (Keri’s) Birthday month and I would love if we could raise some funds and get some supplies for the animals in our care! If you are willing to help me celebrate by donating, we would all appreciate it SO SO much! Pics of some of our amazing dogs looking for their furever homes! Thank you! Hope you all have a great week!

Hi! I'm Anabelle. I'm a 9 year old Border Collie Black Lab mix. She is a gentle and loving dog who likes to be around people. Anabelle loves to go on walks and be outside. She is afraid of storms and the sound of shooting guns and will want to be inside if either of those occur. She is great with kids and people and when properly and slowly introduced to dogs she is fine. She is looking for a loving home where she can get the attention she deserves!
This pet is microchipped, spayed/neutered & up to date on vaccinations. The adoption fee is $250. If you are interested in learning more, please e-mail [email protected]

Today my heart is heavy. Not only did the entire rescue community lose an amazing advocate for SO many animals, but I lost a friend. Rescue is not for the faint of heart. Every single person in rescue is passionate about animals and literally dedicate their lives to saving them. We make mistakes. We cry. We get angry. We lose faith in humanity. We lose sleep. We spend a ton of our own hard earned money. We miss holidays. We miss birthdays. We suffer. We love. And we love hard. And one of the biggest things we deal with is bullying and people belittling us and making us feel like we are never doing enough. Or we are doing it wrong. We have supporters. And we have haters. Some of us suffer from depression. Anxiety. We choose animals over people because the only time they ever hurt us is when they leave this earth. They don’t make us feel sad. They don’t hurt our feelings. They don’t put us down. They simply just love, with all they’ve got. If you ever met Mikayla, your life was forever changed. She wasn’t just a beaming light for animals, she was an advocate for people with mental health issues. She openly talked about it. The founder of Saveafox Rescue took her life because of people bullying her. She was autistic. She had depression. People didn’t care. She had millions of supporters and a few haters. A few haters that made her life so miserable, she couldn’t take the pain anymore. She left behind a young daughter (who will undoubtedly follow in her amazing mother’s footsteps with the rescue), a husband, a family, friends, and SO many thankful animals. While we all try our best to save what we can, Mikayla ALWAYS went above and beyond. She shut down a fur farm with 500 foxes. 500. One person. A LOT of supporters. Many volunteers. A supportive husband and child.. We can’t even fathom closing down one farm with 500 animals at once. She was one of the most dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
I’m BEGGING you, to please STOP bullying people. STOP thinking what others are doing is wrong because it’s not the way you may have done it. STOP with the hate. Millions of people in this world are suffering and are one comment away from ending their life. Please start spreading love. Compliment a stranger. Support causes that mean something to you. Do your part to make this world a little better. But for the love of all, please just be kind. This never should have happened. Mikayla, thank you, for making my life better. I will never forget your kindness, your jokes, our funny messages about our husbands putting up with our shenanigans, your true beauty.
If you are able, please send a little donation to Saveafox to help her husband carry on her legacy.
