Excuse me, ma’am? Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ?

Our house has stood for over 150 years and these dogs are gonna level it before it’s over 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Start a rescue, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.

👑KING JULIEN👑

The King is still experiencing knee pain and frequently pops his knees out of socket. I have learned how to pop them back in but it only helps temporarily. I have been limiting his movement and he is NOT happy about it. So I’m excited that I have enough now to take him to the specialist this week and schedule surgery. Thank you to our friends who donated to help make this possible.

🦆LOUIE🦆

Louie is a one year old lab mix. He was found abandoned with his brothers, Huey and Dewey, who are also still available.

Louie is the smallest of the trio and the most timid. Once he knows he is in a safe space, he will be your very best friend. He gets along with cats and dogs of all sizes.

Email us at [email protected] if you’re interested in adopting him.

Looking for a New England foster!! Jada was recently adopted and it unfortunately isn’t working out. Jada needs a temporary foster home while we work out either transport back to the rescue or another adoption. Please send us an email at [email protected] if you can help out this sweet girl.

It’s that time of year again - time for some turtle rescue tips:
• Don’t remove them from the area. While it can be tempting to take them to a safer area with no traffic, turtles will spend the rest of their lives trying to get back home and likely die along the way.
• Pick them up on either side of their shell, away from their mouths. They WILL bite! Do as I say, not as I do and use both hands to ensure you don’t drop them and crack their shell if they try to jump.
• Put them a safe distance off of the road in the direction they were already facing.

Save a turtle if you see one struggling across the road! It only takes a minute or two out of your day to keep them from getting squished.

👑KING JULIEN👑

I have some upsetting news to report on the king. He needs surgery due to a birth defect 🫠.

I noticed him limping a few days ago and thought he might have just sprain something. After three days of anti inflammatory medicine didn’t make a difference, I took him in for X-rays. Of course it wasn’t anything simple… the diagnosis luxating patella - condition in cats where the kneecap (patella) repeatedly dislocates out of its normal groove on the femur. He’s in pain and corrective surgery is the only solution 😔. Even worse? Both of his kneecaps are luxating so he needs surgery on both legs 😭. It will cost approximately $2,800.

I have committed to him and I will make sure he gets the surgery. I can’t stand seeing him in pain. But I’d greatly appreciate any help towards his surgery cost as it will take me weeks to save up enough for surgery since all of my disposable income goes directly to the animals in our care 🥺.
