We’ve Been Quiet… Because We’ve Been Busy 🐾✨
Okay, we’ve been keeping a little secret…
Last month, while things were quiet on social media, we quietly had about 20 dogs and 5 cats neutered. 🎉💉
That’s 25 lives directly impacted—and countless more spared from the endless cycle of unwanted litters, neglect, and abandonment.
It’s been an exhausting and busy month but, everyone has healed and recovered well! We have been busy getting to know them and building their profiles.
Their Reality Right Now:
These are coming from an area where unwanted, abandoned, and forgotten dogs are left behind with nowhere to go and no one to care for them. We are doing everything we can to get them to safety, but space is incredibly limited.
These dogs are being saved by a small, dedicated family with very limited resources who are doing everything they can to keep them safe. They are working against difficult odds in a harsh environment.
The dogs come from a high-volume dumping ground surrounded by farmland. Unfortunately, the local landowners—mostly farmers—view these dogs as pests and predators, and they often shoot them on sight. This puts the dogs’ lives at constant risk.
Right now, the rescued dogs are kept in makeshift dog runs. When they dig, chew, or jump out, the family must use cable tie-outs, and if those fail, chains, just to keep the dogs contained and safe. It’s what they have to do to prevent injury or worse, while they wait. This is not a life any dog should have to live—it’s a temporary solution in a desperate situation.
This family is doing their best to protect these dogs, but they need help—fosters, adopters, and supporters who can open their homes and hearts. Every dog saved is a victory against incredible odds. In the past 2 years our team has rehabilitated and rehomed about 45 dogs and 30 cats from this area, but they keep being dumped.
Because these dogs are coming from such a difficult environment, we won’t know much about their personalities or training—like whether they’re potty trained—until they’re able to decompress in a foster home.
Right now, they’re doing their best just to survive, struggling to stay cool or warm, and waiting for regular meals and gentle hands.
A foster or adoptive home is where they can finally relax, feel safe, and show their true selves. It’s only with love, patience, and stability that we can learn their unique needs, quirks, and personalities.
If you’re able to open your home as a foster or adopt, you’ll be giving a dog the chance to heal and thrive—and helping us discover the wonderful companions they truly are.
We are also in need of donations to help with the costs of providing care for the animals and FOOD! We need both dog and cat food! Feeding this many animals is not an easy feat! You can make donations and check out our amazon wish list @ linktr.ee/SmoreDogsRescue
