Rusty’s Angels Sanctuary is a 501C3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe and caring environment for senior canines. Most of our rescues come to us because their owner has passed away or has moved into a nursing home situation. As long as the dog is healthy enough to handle a transition into a new home then we do our best to find the perfect forever home. If the dog is not healthy e

nough then they live out whatever time they have left here at our sanctuary knowing unconditional love until the very end. Rusty was Emilee’s first rescue, she adopted him at the age of “ancient”. He was pulled from the euthanasia list at the local county pound. He was skin and bones, deaf, going blind, had a mouth full of rotten teeth and so lost and scared. He taught her that animals don’t deserve to die alone after loving us for all their lives. He is why she wants to give these dogs the ending they deserve and have earned. They deserve the unconditional love to the very end that they give us from the moment they meet us. She promised Rusty that she would continue to help those just like him live out their twilight years knowing complete unconditional love.

UPDATE: S**g will be getting antivenin and fluids and stay overnight at the ER tonight. His new invoice is posted in the comment. We are looking at around $3000. Any and all help is appreciated.

This week has been horrible to say the least. I haven’t even had time to fill you all in.

But for right now just say some prayers for our S**g, S**ggy man, S**ggle rock. He was bitten by a rattle snake last night and we are at VetMed now. Didn’t know it was a snake bite until ER dr shaved his swollen face. We thought he was bleeding internally from some sort of toxin based on his gums this morning. We are relieved it’s a snake bite as this is much more treatable.

Prayers for our precious boy please.
His estimate is already close to $1000 but will be much more once we have bloodwork and know treatment needed.

Facebook won’t let me add a donate button from my phone so please donate via Venmo at . https://venmo.com/u/RustysAngels

September 26th will be Daisy's 1 year anniversary of living here at the Sanctuary. This gorgeous 11 year old girl is still searching for her perfect forever home after losing the only human mama she knew to cancer.

She loves other dogs as long as she can be the boss, she loves kids and is very gentle but she loves people more than anything. Daisy has a lot of energy still so she would make a great walking/hiking partner. And she also loves the pool!!

I am challenging all of you to share Daisy far and wide and let's see if we can find her a forever home BEFORE she hits her 1 year anniversary with us. Are you up for the challenge?! I AM!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

If you have completely fallen in love with Daisy through this post then click the link below to fill out our adoption application today!!

Be prepared to say AWWWWWWW.....

This beautiful little girl is Raisin. She is a 10 year old Chihuahua that was witnessed being dumped off on a street corner in Mesa. Witnesses called animal control but they could not catch her. That's when HARTT - Humane Animal Rescue and Trapping Team stepped in and 4 days later they got her. Once they realized she was older they reached out to us for help, and we were so happy we had a spot open.

Raisin will need a dental and spay but once all that is taken care of we may already have a home for this precious little 8 pound nugget. Shhhh I can't tell you who it is just yet.

Welcome to Rusty's Angels Raisin! You are our Rusty's Angel # 419!!!!

Okay even though these amazing dogs have been living with me since mid-April I thought maybe it was time for an official adoption announcement.

Red, Lucy and Karli have fit so perfectly into my life with PJ and Cricket. It's as if they have always been there. And Henry for sure had a paw in bringing this trio into our lives. Red is truly Henry reincarnated just a little stockier. And he has helped my heart heal. I love these 3 babies so very much! Enjoy some shots from our life together these past few months.

They are our adoptions # 234, # 235, # 236!!!!

Adoption Announcement!!!

Sugar and Snickers have left the building!!! And their new family love them so so much, even the cat Missy.

These beautiful girls are our adoptions # 232 and # 233. Have a wonderful life being spoiled to the max girls!

I want to share the story of Kissie.

Kissie came to Rusty's Angels in January of this year. She was then adopted April 1st to a wonderful family in Anthem along with another one of our poodle mixes, Dandi.

Around mid-May Kissie's adopted mom Sarah started texting me with some questions and concerns. We always stay in touch with our adopters, and I was happy to lend advice and help. Us, along with a vet, thought Kissie was showing signs of early dementia. But ultimately it was discovered that she may have herniated a disk in her spine. Sarah was feeling very overwhelmed with the kind of treatment Kissie needed in order to give her a chance to heal so we agreed to take Kissie back and treat her. We also agreed that once she was better, she could go back to live with Sarah and her family again.

May 30th, we began treatment which included strict cage rest, pain meds, steroids and physical therapy performed by our very own Joyce. The first day back she also p*ed blood and we discovered she had a pretty raging UTI which we thought was caused by her not being able to posture properly to completely empty her bladder due to her painful spine. At this point Kissie was dragging her hind end with little to no movement in her rear legs. We assisted her with eating, drinking, potty breaks which included carrying her in and outside and helping her stand to go potty. 8 weeks my team continued this treatment. Around week 7.5 we saw a slight improvement but by Monday July 16th she was back to screaming in pain even on pain meds.

I do not allow any of our dogs to suffer. And in the past, we had treated and healed a herniated disk in a dachshund, Petey, who made a full recovery. So, all of us were hopeful. After so many weeks of treatment and repeated blood in her urine and UTI's I made the decision to let her go. As I was sitting in the exam room at the vet feeding her a cheeseburger and ice cream my little voice in my head started chattering. I now truly believe this voice is God guiding me. But the word that just kept repeating is the word, Cancer.

When Dr Young came into the room, I gave her the rundown of the last 2 months a care and treatment for Kissie as Dr Young was not the main vet on her case. In the end we both agreed that Kissie likely had bladder cancer that had spread to her spine. Something no amount of cage rest, pain meds or steroids could fix. This gave me so much peace in letting her go and it gave my team peace that all their hard work wasn't for nothing. But that there was nothing that would fix her.

Kissie's passing came after we had already lost 3 others in less than a month and so it has been hard to process and find the proper words.
Between the Sanctuary and Sarah's home Kissie was loved beyond measure. And on the July 16th, she was reunited with her human Daddy who had passed away. This also brings peace.

Rest in Paradise Kissie. We will never forget your giant beautiful eyes.
