A happy story to brighten your morning
Remember the pitiful great dane I rescued in October?
At Christmas he found the best family he could have ever dreamed of. He came to visit us yesterday, living his absolute best life 😍 thankyou to everyone who helped make this possible.
6 months of love, vetwork, and of course... food!

I am so happy to report that Atlas got a home, his own couch, and his own people for CHRISTMAS 🎄
He left our farm 2 days before Christmas and clearly he fits right in. He has another great dane friend at the house and all the love and attention he could ask for. I was able to get him healthy physically, but his new family is going to give him so much more love and time than I was able to give him. Thankyou everyone for all the love and support of Atlas 💗
In 6 weeks he transformed before our eyes 🐾

Atlas Update
Looking like an entirely new dog
His sores are cleaned up and he's gaining weight beautifully. He's full of life & energy.
Has so much love to give
He is still with me, waiting on a cytology report from a lump on his side, and a DNA test to tell us his age.
If returned with good news, he wil have his forever home before Christmas ❤️ thankyou to all that have helped! He still needs neutered & a dental cleaning.

Atlas update!
Good and Bad news
Clearly he is looking MUCH better. Like a completely different dog.
He is SWEET! Loving. House trained. Gets along with all of my other dogs, hasn't bothered the cats, or the kids. Loves every human he meets.
I've got the weight coming back on.
He is parasite free. Heartworm/Lyme negative.
No more fleas. No worms.
However... the vet guesstimates him to be 8 years old.
Which for a dane... is geriatric.
His teeth are in horrible condition and need treated.
He needs neutered and his stomach tacked as we knew.
The sores on his legs are still not healing. He's now on 3 different medications for this. He got his first rounds of vaccines.
The big lump on his right hip the vet finds concerning and would guesstimate this is malignant in nature.
Running a few panels of bloodwork to see where he's sitting in general and then will biopsy the lump. It is not painful to him.
His newly determined age plays a large role in our further treatment course.
Will continue to put weight on him and give him lots of love while things play out.
✨️
If anyone is interested in taking this sweet old boy and giving him a home to live out his days- please reach out.
✨️
I am still so disgusted that his old owner literally left him to die.

This lovely little lady went for a test run at her new home tonight. She fit in at our house like she's always been here. However, we just don't want to add in another one at this time and a very close friend of mine was looking to add a new family member and prefers a rescue.
I was almost tearful as she left, we had bonded so quickly but she will have the best life. If anything doesn't work out, she'll come back to us and probably stay. Husband and the kids loved her too!
Best of luck to you Nala, enjoy the new family that will give you the love you deserve 😍❤️

Post 2 of 2

SHE FOUND A HOME 🙏
Free to a good loving home!

This one also came home with me today, and needs a forever home of her own!

She was also left alone by someone in Kentucky who sold their home and left her behind.
However she was not chained up, so she wandered around and was fed by the neighborhood.
Minus some fleas, she appears very healthy.
I do not know much about her, she took quite a liking to my kids and I today.
I would guess she is maybe a Catahoula/lab mix.
Believed to be an intact female
Unsure of age.
Said to he house trained.

I really did not want to bring home another dog, I wanted to focus my time on Atlast but I could not leave her behind and she quite literally jumped in my car and slept in my passenger seat the whole way home.

She too will go to the vet tomorrow. But please, please please help me find this sweet girl a home!!!

-I do not yet know if she is other dog friendly
- I cannot tell you she is kid friendly
- I do not know her age or breed

+I DO know she followed the kids and I on a long walk today, played in the creek with them, was good for a bath, and slept 4 hours in my passenger seat and is cute as heck.
+ I DO know she did not deserve to be left alone to fend for herself, and I do know she needs a family to love ❤️
Make her your next farm dog!!

1st of 2 posts
Atlas came home today! Let his rehab journey begin ✨️
+ he did excellent for his car ride home
+ he walks well on a leash
+ he wants nothing but love
-he is unsure of new people, will need time to learn to trust

- he has some very strange lumps and bumps, skin infections, cyst like structures I am anxious to have evaluated. Vet tomorrow!

* Atlas has a permanent home pending his rehab process with us and temperament traits. But if you may be interested in him shall this home fall through, please reach out *

THANKYOU to everyone who has donated to him. So, so much appreciated

New post.... I am going to be bringing home this sweet boy on Friday!
At this point, I know he has fleas. I will be going to the vet for medication before I even go down. He will have a vet appointment scheduled for Monday when we get home. He will then need to be neutered and have his stomach tacked once he the vet deems him healthy enough for surgery.
He will have several check ups throughout the weight gain process and this is with hopes of nothing else being wrong with him. You can see he has sores from sleeping on concrete.
Who knows what we may encounter.
I've had several people reach out, if you would like to donate to "Astro" (I have already named him) and giving him a new chance on life and a family to love, it would be much appreciated. The funds will sit in the account until they are used at the vet. Or wil be returned to you. I've never asked for financial help before, but I just am not in the position to cover this on my own at this time. Thanks in advance. Will post tons of updates.
Help me save this sweet baby

With a heavy, heavy heart I share the horrible news. The passing of our sweet Cammy. The mommy to many of your sweet babies. The start of our breeding program. But most importantly, a member of my family. She moved into our new home with us as a puppy, started our human family with us. Has been here through everything. Our home will never be the same. Pure devastation. Hug your babies extra tight for me

Happy 7 weeks from the gang! 🐾🖤

And yes there's still one lonely female needing a family

03/19/2023

Our little white toed baby has found her forever family, leaving us with just ONE more. The most perfect one of all 🧡

03/17/2023

My black beauties...
BOTH still available. Baylee and I have contemplated keeping the one since the day they were born. But I don't think it's the best choice for our family at this time, but it quite literally breaks my heart that noone is claiming them. It may be fate to keep one, but we are not keeping 2 🫣So help find these special ladies a family of their own ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Willing to negotiate prices as I would love to see them in their new homes before vacation. Though, I don't mind them sticking around a while 😉

Please ignore the messy box. Just so much easier to take photos of them all contained 🧡

It's with a heavy heart I share the passing of my favorite little puppy 😭 you won't be seeing him in the puppy updates as he has crossed the rainbow bridge. Unfortunately it's a common risk when raising these giant breeds, we believe momma accidentally stepped on him while getting in or out of her whelping box.
He was the first puppy born, and the first puppy sold.
His new family is crushed and my heart breaks for them 💔
I dont know if everyone believes dogs go to Heaven but I envision some lucky little boy or girl up there snuggling this sweet little face
