Update on Finn ❤️

From “unadoptable and needs to be euthanized” to couch potato and lap dog!!!

We were questioned many times over the years on why we would put so much money and time into vetting and care for dogs that could never go anywhere and this right here is the answer!

They have endured the unimaginable. They have been through hell and back. They have every right to be mean and aggressive but they also deserve a chance. They deserve the opportunity to be the best dog they can possibly be.

Finn was the last of our dogs to be placed. He was abandoned at our facility over four years ago and overlooked time and time again. It was touch and go in the beginning but once he learned to trust us, he transformed into the most amazing little pup. He was fantastic with all other animals and quickly became our go to boy if another pup needed to be dog tested, but he absolutely hated people he didn’t know. So he sat here year after year with no family to call his own other than us. A couple months back we were able to get him into a training consult and he did fantastic so we put out multiple pleas for adopters once again. Finn had several inquiries but none followed through because he was just too dangerous. We took the chance as a last effort to get Finn into a home and enrolled him in a two week board and train program. Once again he did amazing! He played with animals of all kinds and even did great with kids. He was an all around great dog.

We are happy to announced that Finn is now in his forever home!! 🥰🥰 He went from “mean and aggressive” to a velcro dog. He follows his mom around everywhere and loves his four legged siblings. He loves attention and cuddles but his favorite activity is being a couch potato.

We love all the “Finns” out there and are so thankful to those that gave them a chance!

Please don’t overlook the shy, scared, and aggressive dogs. Listen to their caretakers when they say these dogs are actually amazing when they trust you. They truly are the best ones when given the opportunity.

Finn has done amazing during his two week training program. He loved all the adventures, animals of all kinds and sizes, and even liked their tiny baby girl!!! He goes to his new potential home tomorrow and we couldn’t be happier for him. ❤️ Thank you The Champion Farm, all that have shared his posts, and thank you to his new mom!!

We highly recommend The Champion Farm for any and all of your training needs!!! Go like and follow their page!

Happy Employee Appreciation Day to our amazing staff. It has definitely been a rough year but your hard work, dedication, and commitment to these babies has made what once seemed impossible, possible! We couldn’t have done any of this without you. Pretty soon, we will no longer be coworkers but we will always be family. We love you and are so thankful for you!!

❗️We need help❗️
We need shares and we need prayers!!

We are only weeks away from closing and still have babies with no where to go. Patricia Hurdle has been sharing our remaining dogs with everyone possible but most of them have to be only pets and that makes it difficult. She will comment below and you can find her other post to share as well.

This post is about a newcomer named Loki. ❤️

Loki was dumped at our facility in the middle of the night on January 31st. Incase you don’t remember what was going on that night, we were right in the midst of an ice storm 🧊 It was literally freezing and he was left out to fend for himself. Because of the treacherous weather conditions that night, only one worker was available to try and help him. They spent an hour together playing peekaboo around our giant tree in the tiny fenced in area out front before she was finally able to get a leash on him. He was terrified of everything, especially this crazy lady flailing around on the ice like a newborn deer that doesn’t quite understand how legs work yet. 😂 There were some resource guarding issues at first, but after a couple of days and lengthy conversations, Loki finally realized that his next meal would always be provided and no one would ever harm him again. They are now the best of buds and he has turned into the most amazing pup. He jumps for joy when he sees us and greets us with nothing but tail wags and kisses. Lots and lots of kisses!! 💋💋

Loki is about 2 yrs old, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and neutered. We believe he is house trained and is good with other dogs. The only issue we have had with him is that he does not care to be restrained at the vet. Other than that, he is perfect!! Oh and he thinks he weighs 10lbs not 60lbs so he likes to sit in your lap. He loves attention and we believe he would do fantastic in a home!!

Please please please share this sweet boy so we can get him in a safe place before we have to close!!!! There is also a video of him in the comments❤️❤️

🚨 Urgent 🚨

We are getting very close to the end and have so many babies still in need. We have a large transport scheduled for next week but there are still 20 dogs/cats needing to find a home before we close.

First up is Rhea. She is the perfect dog! Rhea is 2 years old, so past the destructive puppy stage but not too old… the perfect age! She’s only 37lbs, so small but not too small… the perfect size! She loves playing with toys and running around the yard but is also very calm and super cuddly when inside…THE PERFECT DOG!! ❤️

Rhea was rescued from a dog fighting ring along with 21 other dogs. She had a horrible start to life. Just after being weaned from her mother, she was tied up on a heavy chain in the woods with nothing for shelter and never knowing when her next meal would come. We have no idea what all kinds of horrible things she had to endure before being rescued but we do know that despite it all, she is the most amazing little girl ever. Because of her past, Rhea does need to be the only pet. With a dog as loving and loyal as Rhea, you really only need one anyway. She will be your best friend and go everywhere with you. Rhea loves to explore new places and gives the best hugs in the world. She really is the perfect dog!!!

Please share this girl far and wide. We are willing to do anything to get our remaining babies placed. If you are interested but think you are too far away, don’t hesitate! We will arrange transport. Help us give her the life she deserves!! 🙏🏼🥰

Anger, devastation, and heartbreak…Unfortunately that is the reality of rescue. It’s exhausting and emotionally draining. Everyone in rescue has wanted to give up at some point. Some still do and some have already. Then something amazing happens and you continue to fight another day.

Today was an emotional rollercoaster. We were pi**ed. We were devastated. We were heartbroken. But then that amazing thing happened.

It rained ALL night long last night. 15mph winds. Thunderstorms. It was just a nasty night, and still some prick left a crate full of puppies in our parking lot. They had no shelter. Nothing to block the wind or rain. They had nothing at all but each other. We arrived this morning to find seven soaking wet, freezing babies all piled on top of each other struggling to survive and one little boy laying in the back all alone and lifeless. Once the seven were safely removed and transferred to different crates we were able to get to the little boy in the back and our worst fear was confirmed. He had no heartbeat and was not responding to any stimulation. With a broken heart, we wrapped him up in a clean blanket, placed his broken little body in a bag, and took him to the vet with his siblings to have him cremated. He was unloaded first. We walked in the door of the vet clinic and heard what we thought was a groan. The staff immediately rushed to help unwrap him but once again no heart beat could be found and zero response to stimulation. He was pronounced dead. Preparations for cremation started again and he let out another groan. The staff scattered gathering supplies. Heating pads, towels, dryers, everything they could get to raise his body temperature and dry him off. Still no heartbeat could be found but then he took a breath! Cordova Station Animal Hospital worked on him for over an hour before he finally had a good consistent heartbeat. They worked a miracle today and we will forever be grateful to them. He is a fighter but he is not out of the woods yet. He is alive but he is very weak. He is our Christmas miracle!

Since there are 8 of them and it’s Christmas time, we went with Santa’s reindeer for their names. We could use some prayers for our sad little broken reindeer this week. Hopefully they will all be happy little playful pups ready to roll next week!!

We would like to thank everyone for all the wonderful donations! ❤️❤️

Mama and babies are doing wonderful. They are all fat and happy now. We have tried so many times to get a picture of the beautiful little family but mama loves attention so much that we haven’t been able to get her to sit still long enough with her babies. She is truly the sweetest little girl. 🥰

The other three pups are still at the vet but will be joining us here in the next couple of days. They are also doing great and putting on some much needed weight.

We are so grateful for your continued support. Thank you so much 😊
