This is what running a rescue looks like on the back side. I don't think we filled carts this full raising our children, lol! We also have a feeder for deer (not to hunt them) in our back yard, especially in the cold weather. Also thankfully found pet friendly de-icer stuff too!
This recent article blast is challenging because the babies still want to go out to play but the temps are brutal. I let them get into the half of the 100' x100' that's still in good shape after trees destroyed one whole side of the other side during Helene. They get their exercise in before kennel time and feeding before bed.

Joey practicing his ninja bow skills on one of his daily long walks along the ridge, 2100ft above sea level, living his best life. He's a nut and goes crazy for sticks. The hurricane debris has left him a veritable Walmart of sticks to choose from and play with along the road. When the FEMA debris crews finally make it up here he will still have the sticks in the woods along the trail we walk. But he really likes to shop for that perfect stick along the road on each walk.

This is Joey. A rescue that many will remember and is still with us here on the mountain. He's a good dog but doesn't tend to play well with other dogs so he is a dog looking for a one dog family.
He has a serious pinchant for sticks. The small ones he likes to play with like he is a ninja swinging a bow until they break. When it comes to fetch he is more into tug of war dog and he does not lose. The larger ones he just wants to drag until he gets tired and leaves them blocking the road. I have to go back and get them when I walk the dog after him. But some of them he drags all the way back to the house. He is definitely a unique dog!

GCACE Pets Seeking Rescue came by today with a HUGE donation of supplies!! This is the shelter where we got Henry (aka Henrick). The community of Gastonia collected dog food and other supplies for several rescues in the Western NC area! We are so thankful! I also got to meet Henry's shelter mommie. He remembered her! ❤️

*** Disaster here!!! ***
We are located in Morganton, specifically on High Peak Mountain, and we have lost our entire fenced area for the animals. We've had to set up an emergency 10x20 run area but the entire 100x100 with the middle divided so there was two 50x100 runs! The chain link guy said because of the way the dog proofer fence was hit with trees on multiple ends it has stretched the fencing and has broken the welds!
The bottom frame of the kennel house that was being built was totally destroyed and had already had the outside frame and the beams in place when a tree fell across it. Attached are pictures. We are in bad shape here! We finally got a generator that is on loan but if anyone wants to donate a *** Westinghouse 9500 Watt *** that's what it takes to pull the water out of the well that we have to keep water going. The person that loaned us this for use will be back in a few days to their residents and need to take it back and we have to find one.
My wife's office where she has worked for over 20 years,, she's a dental hygienist, was completely flooded out in Morganton across from the post office on the Greenway. It is beyond a disaster and we are doing everything we can do to take care of our fur babies.
It's bad.

Such true words shared to me by my MIL.

Two of our rescues, Ramona (Mo-Mo) and Daisy June (DJ) in the two 100'x50' lots. They are getting acclimated because Ramona tends to not be a social dog, but that seems like it's going to change.
We are in the middle of building a kennel on one side so there's construction stuff everywhere. But that doesn't stop DJ because she loves to be a part of whatever is going on.

Yesterday was Daisey June (DJ), Joey, Ruby and Belle's day to go to the big city for spay/neuter! 13 doggies spay/neuter in the last 15 days!! All heartworm negative and are on preventative! All have a microchip now! Stand for Animals is such a wonderful organization!!! We ended up paying about $900 total for everything. 13 dogs!!
Their (.5) acre fencing to run and play was completed yesterday!

Our rescue is in need of a free or inexpensive outbuilding for a doggie shelter. We are going to have 8k invested in the fencing once it is installed. We planned to do the installation of the fence ourselves but we are not able to do it. We are self funded and have spent out an insane amount of money over the past 5 months. If you know of anyone willing to donate an outbuilding it would be greatly appreciated!

Hank, Bandit, Jedi (3 of the husky pups) and Tigger (brindle pit) visited Stand For Animals today in Charlotte. They had Neuter surgery! This organization is amazing! They not only did the neuter surgery at a very reduced cost they also heartworm tested and then sent home 3 months of heartworm preventative at no cost!
We paid to have the husky pups microchipped (Tigger already had one). Danny did a great job getting them to Charlotte by 7:30 and waiting on them until the afternoon. Next week we do it again with 5 more! Then 4 more then next! Rescue is hard work and never ending but I love knowing these babies got the care they needed today!!

We are in need of donations but hesitate to ask because we know the economy is hard on everyone right now. This is just my wife and I doing what we can for these dogs. The vet bills are what are hitting us hardest. I have multiple sclerosis and I'm trying to get our larger run fence put up but my heat intolerance is giving me a fit so that is slow going but I want it up so bad for the dogs. We have a company that puts up chain link that has looked at the system we have, the dog-proofer 6 ft, and can install it for me but again there is their labor fee and it is just not something we can do at the moment.
We started this as a small volume rescue to do what we can and it is very rewarding to see these animals who were literally within hours of being euthanized with new lives getting to walk on the ridge of this mountain, sniff every flower and tree, enjoy their walks and even seeing some them look up at a plane coming over low and knowing that's possibly the first time they've ever been relaxed enough to notice one. They're like children with a new lease on life. The animals are very appreciative of everything we do for them and it is very rewarding, it's just stressful knowing that some need medicines or a trip to the vet and there are times that getting that care is stretching us to our limit.
I would not ask anyone to hurt themselves financially but if you find that you can any donations would be appreciated.
We have both PayPal ([email protected]) and venmo.

$58.34 at Rural King and we will have fresh ground covering for the covered outside kennels, did for the larger breeds for a few days and the ever popular treats that help with training and encourage good behavior.
Donations help us so much because otherwise it's just me on disability retirement and my wife's income doing this.

It's kinda ironic that this little man Henry is snoozing on a porch so high on the mountain that he can see the city (Gastonia) that he was saved from. If you look in the distance those lights are Charlotte/Gastonia area some 60 miles away.

We started this rescue to help make a difference in a situation where we saw a need that touched our hearts. A need that we feel we can make a difference in.
We've made a good difference, 21 dogs and we're still working every day to rehabilitate, re-home and save dogs others have written off.
Most other people we've met while doing this are genuinely good and also just want to make a positive difference. Then there's pompous fugazzi. You wouldn't think you'd run into those types as part of any "rescue" networks but, lesson learned and we move on and keep going.

I am welcoming our foster, Roxie, to Mountain Area Canine Rescue . She was very skittish when I first met her and is very hesitant to trust. If I understand her story right she was an owner surrender and had been with him her whole life so I'm not anyone this dog has ever met and gaining her trust is just part of the process. She's getting a full circle of sniff in before she goes to her kennel and has already decided to mark the mountain in her own special way, lol! Second video in the comments!

Shelter dogs make the best friends!!#30minutesfromdeathrow Joeyyyyyyyy ❤️❤️

Even though we're on a mountain top (2000 ft above sea level) we have plenty of activities for all the dogs! Summer fun cannot be had without a proper puppy pool!
