And to close out the year - nothing too exciting. More adoption events, more intake vet and rehome, no crazy shenanigans- besides the 30 puppies we pulled from DAS one day - a wet continue to grow.

Nothing but puppies everywhere! Everywhere you turn there’s puppies. Shelter puppies, street puppies, Amish puppies, unborn puppies. Puppies everywhere seems to have increased our fosters by 10 times.

April to September-

We had our first trip to Alabama, this stirred some controversy - why pull dogs from out of state when there’s a bunch here? Because there are 200 animals in that shelter, many of which are still there today: 6 months later. In addition to the horrible conditions, there were many dogs not typically found up north. Small fluffy dogs overlooked.
Not only that, but our trip to Alabama brought us the most repeat fosters - Heather, Celene, Theresa to name a few that are still fostering for us.

Our donations outgrew the garage and we moved to a storage unit.

In May we got a vet partnership rather than going as a public individual

Throughout these months, we began many partnerships - shelters, fosters, vets, transporters, networkers, other rescues. Some amazing, since questionable - but we learned from our experiences.

Throughout the summer, we had slow adoptions. A few would trickle here and there, but nothing like January to March. But we focused on the dogs we had and continued pushing.

Into the fall, August we had our first group of Amish dogs. The Aussies brought us tons of attention, and I couldn’t thank everyone enough for stepping up for these dogs.

We also began our push into Michigan knowing our name, New Boston Nutrition invited us for an event which opened many doors into Charlie’s Apple Orchid as well.

We had our first deaf dog, Phasma.

We had our litter of bottle heelers.

Kittens left in the petco cart

VWCHS was going to face their first space euthanasia in 10 years, and we were able to place Chief

We began to become more known, less people skeptical of us. But, our focus continues to be finding homes.

And incoming a third post for August to November!

In addition to everything else posted today, here’s a photo dump of how our first year as a rescue has been!

Facebook says I can only do 80 photos - so here’s November 2023 to March 2024!

From Blake and Coffee, our first shelter pulls - to Mama Biscuit who stole everyone’s babies - the multiple litters of bottle babies - Gemma from Wisconsin who was in need of TLC for the abuse/neglect she suffered - our first Texas group of black lab puppies - our first uhaul donation - our first adoption event at Tractor Supply - Chuy our first Euth list pull - Salem found in the woods with 6 puppies - Apollo who stayed with us while his owner had nowhere to live, and was reunited months later - Buster who lacked socialization as his owner was hospitalized most of his life - Max who was surrendered by someone unable to care for him - bourbon who was reactive and is now in his forever home with a trainer.

Now making another post for March-???

Do you prefer to donate items this ?

Here is our amazon wishlist!

On here, we have
*puppy food which is needed to begin weaning Reina's puppies (they've begun stealing Reina's food!)
*Orthopedic beds for the older and/or injured dogs we have coming in (we have had five dogs with broken legs this year!)
*cheaper slip leads to hand out with pups going to their new families
*higher quality slip leads for picking dogs up from the shelter as they typically do not come with collars. Additionally, these are good for dogs we aren't quite familiar with yet rather than reaching down to grab the dog's collar and potentially firghtening them, we can use a slip lead while each of us staying in our personal space
*Dog food because we have hungry hungry hippos
*Kongs, snuffle mats, toys, and chew bones to keep everyone entertained
*Crates as our stash is beginning to dwindle as our foster homes increase.
*Bowls as we typically buy out dollar tree's bowls

KIARA is ready to go home!

Kiara is a hound mix puppy who was found on the side of the road at 24 hours old. Mom and pups were quickly taken to foster where they grew to be wonderful pups!

Kiara is a wonderful dog, she is crate trained, potty trained, and fully vetted.

Kiara loves to play and is beginning to find her hound howl! She enjoys making little awoo noises to get attention.

Kiara is super smart and will do anything for a snack!

Kiara would love a home for the holidays! Will it be you?

Message us “adoption” if interested in adopting - our automated system will reply with an adoption application link!

ADOPT ME

Potato is a male 6 year old toy poodle. Potato is around 20 pounds.

Potato is a very relaxed guy who spends most of his day lunging around sleeping in the softest places he can find, but does play a little!

Potato’s bottom jaw is shorter than the top - meaning his tongue almost always hangs out!

Potato is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, dhlpp and rabies vaccinated, and ready for his forever home!
