We received a call last night at 8:21 pm from a concerned lady hearing a dog for several hours crying loudly and very stressed across her house in the woods. She couldn't see the dog but knew it was not moving due to the cries.
Two of our team members went out to the location when we could not reach authorities for help. Our immediate thought the furbaby may have been hit by a car and was injured.
So in 32 degree weather and pouring rain, Makayla and hubby Austin got to the location very quickly and started searching the area. Luckily they found him before the coyotes did !! They found him almost immediately....he had broken a chain, still attached to his harness , and was tangled up badly around 2 small trees. He was cold & scared ...and very relieved to see Makayla & Austin. They got him untangled and led him out of woods and got him into their warm vehicle. He was posted and a comment helped locate his owner as they went door to door several streets over. His family had been out looking for him and were very happy to see him safe and ok and he was very happy to see his family, who thankfully took him inside.
So a heartfelt THANK YOU to the heroes, Mrs.GLENDA BEACH who cared and called for help, and to MAKAYLA and AUSTIN who rescued this beautiful sweet boy and got him reunited with his family !!❤

Wally....how do I begin to tell you about Wally ?? It has been a rough few days.
We lost precious Wally Sunday, Feb 9. He was 17 years old.
It seems like yesterday when we rescued Wally and his brother Lenny in 2012. They were estimated to be 4 years old and were very bonded. Their rescue started a journey for my family.
Years ago, they were in a foster to adopt home, for a very brief moment. The two brothers broke out of the fenced yard twice to chase my vehicle. They let me know they had already picked their home so the second time I said ok...let's go home boys.
Wally was a talker. Not a barker...a real talker. He had his own doggie language. Wally would even talk in his sleep sometimes. We are going to miss hearing that. Wally was humble, loved everyone, soulful ....loved to lay in the sun, and especially loved his treats. Wally was tough. Took everything that came his way in stride and with a gentle strength and spirit. He fought hard to stay with us and we fought hard by his side. We sadly lost Lenny, his brother, last year. He was 16 years old. Lenny was very dependent on his brother. Wally reassured Lenny and gave him confidence. Even though they were the same age, Wally always seemed like the older brother.
Wally was one of a kind and a piece of our heart went with him, and Lenny. I am quite sure his brother Lenny was the first to greet him at the Bridge.
We love & miss you Wally. You are in our hearts always. Till we meet again Wally Boy....

We lost our precious Izzy yesterday, just past midnight at 12:07 am. She would have been 15 years old this April.
Izzy came to us in early 2020 after her human mom unexpectedly passed away. At 10 years old at that time, and no where to go, Izzy was headed to the county shelter so we dropped everything and went and got her.
Izzy was one of a kind...feisty, bossy, loving, enjoyed her spa days at the groomer and loved looking out the window to fuss at the squirrels. Izzy loved to be petted and at times had a most mischievous look that you knew to be ready. Her sweet little face got whiter over these past 5 years but her spirit and love of life never wavered.
I will miss her so much..all 7 lbs of her.
Bet she is standing guard and being her bossy little self at the rainbow bridge....we love you Izzy now and forever.
Until we see each other again ❤

We ask for prayers for senior Izzy who will be 15 years old this April. Izzy went for her yearly physical and follow up, and her bloodwork showed concerns with her kidneys. So she was hospitalized, put on IV fluids, and her bloodwork will be rechecked in 48 hours. Izzy is still very alert, can be feisty & sassy so this was unexpected, concerning news.
It was discovered several years ago that she has a mass in her gallbladder, which is inoperable. She has been on 2 medications and doing really well. So they hope to get an ultrasound of her gallbladder to make sure the mass is not bigger as well as taking a look at her kidneys.
Izzy came to us in 2020 after her human mom died unexpectedly. She came to us already a senior at 10 years old, and with issues from a collapsing trachea. Through it all, Izzy has shown a love of life and spirit.
We know she is probably stressed being in the hospital and not in her bed tonight, so please keep Izzy in your prayers; that everything will be ok and she will get to go home in a few days to her long term foster mom.
Hang in there Izzy...we love you ❤

Eevee is now up to date on her vaccines. Overall her bloodwork was good but her liver enzymes were slightly elevated so she will be monitored and a follow up in several months just to be sure everything is ok. Thankfully she is heartworm negative. She loves squeaky toys so she got a few new toys and a new bed that she loved IMMEDIATELY !!
We want to thank Katherine for stepping up as an emergency foster so we could get Eevee; and a huge thank you to Cassandra for stepping up as her interim foster mom. Eevee is a very intelligent girl. No accidents so far and already letting Cassandra know when she needs to go out to potty. She is becoming her foster mom's shadow and gets to hang out with Cassandra while she works from home. Eevee is settling in really well and catching up on her naps and cuddle time. 💖
