Five weeks ago, we welcomed two amazing dogs, Millie and Bud, from in Georgia. They were found in terrible conditions by a dumpster.

After reaching out to several rescues without any response, we knew we had to help.
Both dogs received urgent medical care at in Milledgeville, GA.

Emaciated and in distress, Bud was suffering from maggots, while Millie needed surgery for a blockage caused by her desperate search for food. It’s a miracle Bud survived; his condition was critical. I can’t fathom how some humans can be so cruel.

The medical expenses exceeded $6,000, and we need your help! 🙏 Please consider donating to help us raise at least $3,000. Every bit counts!

Update on Mille and Bud, the dogs found by the garbage in Georgia. Bud had maggots coming out of his back, and both were emaciated. The dogs were immediately taken to the vet. Millie ended up having exploratory surgery after throwing up slippers. Both dogs have recovered and are now with Marie, their foster, in Georgia. These dogs are amazing and deserve the best. Thank you to all who donated.

Stories like this are what keep us going.

Marcus is still on the search for his forever home and is currently in foster care in Oxford, CT. This wonderful gem of a dog is known for his friendly disposition towards people and his ability to get along well with other dogs. However, it's important to note that his behavior around cats is currently unknown. At around 5 years old, Marcus is in the prime of his life and is eager to find a special home where he can thrive. He would make a fantastic addition to a family looking for a loyal and loving companion. If you're interested in welcoming Marcus into your home, please consider reaching out to learn more about this amazing dog!

We have been eagerly waiting to share this wonderful news, but we wanted to give it some time before making the announcement. We are thrilled to let everyone know that Buster has finally been adopted! After spending over a year with his incredible foster, Melissa, he has found his forever home.

It has been six weeks since Buster was welcomed into the arms of an amazing family. They truly understand the responsibilities and joys of bringing a rescue dog into their home.

Good morning, Followers!

To all the networkers asking people to pull dogs for them, please stop!

Yesterday, I had a vile woman who asked me to pull a dog from Seecra Shelter in California. I told her, as I tell everyone, that I will not pull a dog unless she fills out the application and is approved!

All morning, she nagged me. My volunteers scrambled to get the application done so she could be interviewed. One of my volunteers called her to let her know that she would need to pay all fees associated with transport, boarding, etc. She went off on my volunteer and threatened to sue me because we did a background check on her. She claimed I was committing fraud for asking her to pay all fees when my adoption fee is $600. She feels she should only have to pay $600 and that I should cover all the other costs.

Transport from California to NJ is $500. Boarding is $25 per day for 30 days, and that doesn’t include vetting. She was outright rude and entitled, saying she would see me in court for fraud.

For a dog in our system, the adoption fee is $600. For a dog not in my system that you are asking me to pull, you will need to pay for it, not me.

I’m sick of these entitled people who think we have nothing better to do.

So please be advised, volunteers: you better have that conversation with them beforehand.

She was also furious that we checked her Background- Please know you will be fully checked before we even proceed with anything else, we have the right to know where our dogs go!!

Can you imagine a puppy being euthanized due to medical issues? Yes, it happens. Bobby (A1230856) from Dallas Animal Services is on the list for tomorrow due to medical reasons. We are working to get Bobby out and cover the necessary medical expenses. Please donate to help with these costs.

We keep saying we aren’t taking in any more animals, and yet here we are, as we can’t bear to see him being euthanized.

Update on Millie and Bud, the two dogs found in terrible condition by the dumpsters. Both were severely emaciated, and Bud was in particularly bad shape, with maggots coming out of wounds on his back.

Yesterday, the vet informed me that Millie had been vomiting up various items, including slippers, and required immediate surgery due to a blockage in her intestines. The surgery was performed successfully, and thankfully, the issue was caught in time. Millie is now recovering well.

Both Millie and Bud are showing signs of improvement and are expected to leave the vet soon. We're hopeful they will transition to a foster home where they can receive the love and care they desperately need. Despite their traumatic experiences, they remain incredibly sweet and affectionate dogs.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any updated photos to share at the moment because the vet's office has been extremely busy. However, I wanted to keep everyone informed about their progress.

I will post a request for donations at a later time, as the medical bills are continuing to rise. Your support is greatly appreciated, and any help would be invaluable in covering their treatment costs.

Thank you all for your concern and support!

In these challenging times, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by everything happening around us. However, this is precisely when our compassion is needed the most, especially for our four-legged friends. Shelters are facing unprecedented crises, overflowing with dogs in desperate need of care and attention. Many of these animals are at risk of being euthanized simply due to lack of space and resources.

Fostering a dog can make an incredible difference. By opening your home, even temporarily, you provide a safe and loving environment that can save a dog's life. Fostering not only helps the individual animal but also frees up space and resources in shelters, allowing them to help more dogs in need.

Remember, fostering is a rewarding experience that can bring joy and companionship into your life. If you have the means and opportunity, please consider becoming a foster parent. Your kindness and support can make a world of difference for these animals who need it more than ever. Let's work together to provide them with the love and care they deserve.

Where do I begin?

Trinity and Felicity were dumped at the Fort Worth shelter after being previously adopted from the Rowlett shelter in Texas. The adopters claimed that Trinity bit their daughter and decided to abandon both dogs at the Fort Worth shelter instead of returning them to the original shelter. It was then that I was contacted by the Rowlett shelter, asking for help with these girls because there was no way the claims could be true. We went ahead and tagged both Felicity and Trinity. Felicity was picked up that day, but Trinity had to stay behind for a 10-day quarantine.

Two days before the quarantine ended, Trinity was killed without us even knowing. To say this left us extremely saddened and upset is beyond words. Felicity lost her bonded sister senselessly due to claims made by a woman saying that Trinity bit her daughter, yet there was no proof of a bite. How they could kill Trinity knowing we had tagged her is incomprehensible.

Felicity is a very special dog. She is wonderful and deserves the best home ever. She is currently in foster care in Texas but is ready to leave soon. If you can, please open your home to foster or adopt her. She’s a wonderful dog, about 4 to 5 years old, great with other dogs, good with kids, and even tolerates the resident cat.

Please consider giving this lovely dog a home, especially after losing her sister senselessly.

Update on Mille and Bud, the two dogs found by the dumpster in Georgia:

Bud is still hospitalized, but there are some positive signs. He has started eating and drinking, which is encouraging, although his condition remains critical. He is extremely emaciated and frail, struggling to stand due to his weakened state. Our team is committed to providing him with the best possible care to aid his recovery.

Both Mille and Bud have endured significant trauma, and we are determined to help them heal and thrive. Their journey to recovery will take time, patience, and resources. We are hopeful for their future, and every small improvement is a step in the right direction.

We deeply appreciate the support we've received so far and kindly ask for continued donations. These contributions are crucial in covering medical expenses and ongoing care for Mille and Bud. Your generosity makes a real difference in their lives, and together, we can give them the chance they deserve.

Luke is dreaming of his forever family, could that be you?

This young pup is very dog friendly and loves to play, cuddle, and have fun.

He needs a home where he will have space to run, a patient owner to teach him how to be the best dog possible, and a comfy bed. Simple needs for this guy!
He is not cat tested, and we would suggest kids over 8/9 due to his size and energy level.

Located in Albany NY.
Foster to adopt is an option as well!

WARNING GRAPHIC!!

These two dogs were brought into the Baldwin County shelter in Milledgeville, GA. We have now committed to them because, if no rescue steps up, they will be immediately euthanized.

I don’t have the names of the dogs; there was no time to waste. Both are severely emaciated, and one has maggots coming out of his back. Yes, maggots. What is wrong with people? Why are people so horribly cruel?

The dogs are now at the vet, and I have asked that they do whatever is needed. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but they certainly deserve a chance.

Please donate; I don’t know what this will cost, but I’m sure it won’t be cheap.

Also, we need fosters in GA. If you can help, please do so. This is an emergency!

If you feel more comfortable calling the vet, the information is below:

This is Woofy, a wonderful dog we recently rescued from California. Currently, he is in boarding as we arrange transport to the East Coast. Woofy spent almost a year in a high-kill shelter, where his time was running out. We are incredibly grateful that we were informed about him, as it would have been tragic if he had been euthanized.

Woofy is approximately 2 to 3 years old and has an incredible personality. Everyone who meets him falls in love with his charm and friendly demeanor. We are actively seeking a foster home on the East Coast for this amazing boy. He is excellent with other dogs, though we are unsure about his interactions with cats.

If you or someone you know might be interested in fostering Woofy, please reach out. He truly deserves a loving home where he can thrive and bring joy to those around him.
