One of the most incredible committed dog loving advocates we know is Marisa. Marisa volunteered with our program for years and continually went above and beyond as a dog advocate. Big heart AND Big actions. Marisa and her pup Freddy recently got a tough diagnosis and could use some love & financial support for medical treatment from their community. If you can help a helper it would mean a lot! If you cannot donate would you mind sharing? We love you Freddy & Marisa!
Here is the link to their gofund me and you can also find it in our IG links, if you have any trouble accessing don’t hesitate to DM us and we will forward.

To all the dogs we rescued you are the gift. You are the gifts of so much blood, sweat, tears, sadness, frustration, anger and hard truths seen. Rescue is for the big hearted & not the faint of heart. The dogs made it all worthwhile. Our foster program is closing in June. We are grateful for @fdnewlife for allowing us to save so many dogs. The foster program has been run entirely by volunteers and funded and supported in so many ways by our incredible community. All of our team will continue to work with dogs and rescue in our communities. It is our nature and we have learned so much throughout this process. We found community, our babies and lessons that are etched into our being. There are countless people to thank. Rescue is a team effort and love in action. We are forever changed and will carry the lessons learned with us. Dogs are magic. Dogs are a gift. We prioritized the big blocky heads due to them being at risk for euthanasia and sadly statistically the most abused dogs in our systems. We also can’t imagine our lives without them. They inspire us forever to grow, care and listen better.
Now is a tough time in the animal rescue world with euthanasia lists long and frequent. Rescues need funds & fosters. Our communities need advocacy and education. We are with you in the fight fortified by all the big heads and big hearts that have grown us. We will see you there.

Thanks to @itsme_lil_b for the delightful & useful Cookie Doink Technique ®️
Buster enjoys (most) other pups when introduced thoughtfully but also can get fixated on them during walks the Cookie Doink helps break that Min Pin (😂) focus. We Love so many trainers that have supported us with our foster pups. And cannot encourage humans enough to reach out for support. Each of our adoptions through @fdnewlife come with discounted rates with @dynamitedoggies @synergyveterinarybehavior @noblewoof & we are so grateful to them all!
Follow @itsme_lil_b for so much wisdom 💗 & useful perspectives
