Hello Sweet Delilah

Say hello to Delilah. This sweet girl has a broken leg and she’ll be going for surgery. Right now we’ve got her on pain meds to make her comfortable. We’ll keep you posted on how things go.

Keith tells us two cool things tonight. One, we hit 600,000 followers today. Isn’t that amazing? We are absolutely thrilled and are only here because of the love and support of each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The other thing is that Keith found what he calls the “perfect” reading glasses. Now, we all know how much he struggles to buy them, wear them, keep them, find them. Bonus on these … he can hide them under his beard. Oh, it’s the little things in life that can make us happy!

Ruttro, must be an animal emergency … the entry bell just went off. Keith needs to scoot out real quick. Depending on the situation, we may see him again tonight.

Buckley is an almost 2-year-old neutered male mixed breed dog who is up to date on all his vaccinations and weighs about 63 pounds. He is very affectionate with his human and loves going for walks, hiking, canoeing, playing outside, or just snuggling and taking a nap. Really, whatever his person is doing, that's what he wants to be doing too!

He is kennel trained and lives with cats with no issues. What Buckley isn't a fan of is having to share his home with other dogs. He is a great walking buddy and doesn't bark at or react to other dogs he sees on walks, he just prefers not to have to share his home with other dogs, which is why he is looking for a place where he can be the one and only. He can be wary of strangers at first, but warms up with patience, some treats, and a little bit of time.

Thank you YUJ Yoga for hosting a yoga class where TMAR pups wrestled, cuddled, played tug, and helped the guests relax and smile!

Taking Margo for the Win Today!

She’s blonde and she’s beautiful and she’s our “win” for today. Meet Margo, a sweet lab mix that was hiding outside in a ditch and will melt your heart. Margo is way underweight, but we’ll take care of that. She’s gonna get lots of food and lots of loving. Welcome to TMAR baby girl!

As Keith says, sometimes rescue is hard and you can really get burned out. But, you have to push past the losses and celebrate the wins. So today we celebrate Margo. And with that, we bid goodnight to all. See ‘ya on the flipside!

Thanks to our amazing fosters we were able to move out enough animals so we could take down temporary kennels, deal with our space issues, and pick this girl up. She’s been hanging out near a farm for the past week.

Ella is a 1-2year old female tabby with orange throughout her. She is the perfect lap cat since that is her favorite place to be on your lap being petted and held. If she can't be on your lap, then she is sitting right next to you. She is extremely friendly, loves people and being around them. She would be good with children and other cats, dogs unknown.

Meet Shadow!

This appx 5 month old likely husky/shep mix of some sort 😂 was placed with our amazing Foster Shannon this week. She describes him below:

"He came to me yesterday afternoon and made himself right at home. He is sooo sweet. Gets along well with my resident dog and young kids as well. He is so gentle. He is crate trained and slept thru the night with me. I’d say dang near potty trained as well. Goes potty right when u take him out. Obviously I expect a couple accidents in a new setting, but he’s so smart. Will def make some family very lucky. Shadow is looking for his forever family. I don’t think he will be available for long. He’s too handsome."

🍀 Clover is feeling lucky - she know's her forever family is out there!

Clover is a talkative little 15-week-old calico kitten that loves to play with her siblings (especially her sister, Soraya!) and explore her new foster home. Her foster says she is social, adventurous, house trained and good with other cats.

It Takes a Village … A BIG Village

Keith, Elmer and Fudd give a special thank you to all of the folks who made the spay and neuter clinic a success this weekend. When they say, “It takes a village” in our case, it takes a really big village. When you listen to the long list of people who helped, you’ll see what it takes to do an event like this and Keith wanted to give each person a special shout out tonight.

Another shout out is in order. Thank you to all the fosters, volunteers and coordinators that stepped up so we could get some animals into homes and not have our rescues doubled up or in wire cages. You made all the difference in the world to us.

Speaking of fosters, we sure could use some of the items on our foster wish list. If you can help, we’ve posted the link below. And, as always, if you can’t help, we totally understand.

Last note for the night, we’ll be making our “Weekend at the Rescue” raffle announcement tomorrow. It’s one of our favorite fundraisers and we look forward to the winner visits every year.

With that, it’s time to say goodbye and goodnight … until tomorrow.

Did you hear we are completely FULL and in desperate need of adopters and fosters?

❗️We're offering 1/2 off adoption fee's NOW through 9/12. ❗️

This is the perfect opportunity to welcome a new furry friend into your family. Whether you're looking for a playful pup or a cuddly kitten, we have 51 adoptable animals ready to find their forever homes.

Animals like Gunther!

This big easy going Shepherd/Husky mix is believed to be about 4 years old and weighs 71 pounds. Gunther came to the rescue in pretty rough shape after a porcupine encounter. He was loaded with quills, ticks and infections.

Fast forward to now - Gunther is a happy, healthy and loving boy. He walks well on a leash, is kennel trained and sleeps quietly through the night. He LOVES belly rubs and physical affection and will melt to the floor every time you pet him. He is very chill with people of any age. His fosters took him to the local Car Show and Street Fair and he was one cool tomato with the crowd. He politely stood still for attention and did not try to lick or jump - what a NICE boy!

Gunther enjoys being brushed and even let his foster mom clip is nails. He plays very well with his foster sister and the neighbor's dog so a home with other canines would be awesome, but he is such a people lover that he would be just fine as an only child. Gunther features the best of both worlds - he can bark like a Shepherd but also talk like a Husky and his fosters predominantly hear the Husky!

Gunther however has a very strong prey drive and will want to chase small animals. So, when out for a walk his fosters are very alert for such distractions. He has gotten better with the resident cats (who are not afraid of dogs and will not run away) but they move one muscle, and he just can't help himself and wants to chase. Therefore, it is very important that his new home is a cat free zone!

Who wants to give this beautiful boy a loving home to call his own? He is ready to love and please the new family that will be lucky enough to have him!

Look, It’s Miracle!

We’re celebrating today. It’s Miracle’s 5-month anniversary with TMAR and he got a whipped topping treat with blueberries.

Thank you, foster Cindy, for loving on our sweet boy. He looks so happy and healthy and he’s still making progress. It’s so nice to see all the people who ask for him and who follow his story.

A close up on Miracle’s face shows his pretty little eyelashes and black eyeliner. There’s no denying that he’s a beautiful boy. And he loves to play with his foster pals and watching what’s going on in the neighborhood.

We hope you enjoyed the video and the update on Miracle. We’ll be back in the future to keep you posted. Goodnight all! Thank you for joining us tonight, we appreciate it.

A HUGE thank you to Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels for their incredible generosity donating Miracles wheelchair! The new set of wheels has made a world of difference for Miracle. 🌟

🐾🎉 Happy National Dog Day! 🎉🐾

Today, we’re thrilled to share a heartwarming story as we celebrate our amazing canine companions. Puppy Charlie just went home with his forever family, and their enthusiasm is simply adorable! They arrived in Turtle Mountain gear to welcome their new pup—how cool is that?

This wonderful family is now on their second TMAR dog journey, and we couldn’t be happier for both Charlie and his new family.

To all our followers, let’s celebrate National Dog Day by sharing our favorite dog photos and stories in the comments below 👇👇👇.

If you’re inspired to find a furry friend of your own, visit our website! We currently have 51 loving animals waiting for their forever families.

Roma & Sophie Got Treats Tonight

It’s a “pup cup” treat night with Roma and Sophie this evening. These girls are so happy to gobble them down. Can you blame them? We all love a good treat now and then.

The final totals for the clinic this week … the team did 117 spay and neuters, plus tons of free vaccines in two days. That’s a wonderful thing for the community and we have so many people to thank. Keith wants to do a special “shout out” when he does this Tuesday’s video.

If Roma looks a little worn out tonight, it’s because she spent the day at Grandpa’s house. If we had to bet, she probably got to go to the park, too. Lucky Roma!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: For the next two weeks until September 8th, all adoptions will be 50% off. We have absolutely no room at the rescue and we desperately need fosters and/or adopters. So, if you have it in your heart to bring an animal into your home, check out the links below.

And now it’s time to go. So, goodnight everyone … we hope you have a great week and we’ll see you all again next Sunday with Roma.

Another great day with the spay~N~neuter clinic!

Many animals in the community were able to get spayed/neutered, and many came out to have their animals vaccinated! 🐕😻

A huge shout out to all of the volunteers that helped make this possible! So much goes into doing this for the community, and we’re grateful for all of the support! 🥰

A special shout out to Colorado Animal Rescue Express for all of your time and dedication in making this possible! ♥️

08/25/2024

It was a Good Day!

It was a crazy day, but a good day. We got a lot of animals spayed and neutered. We did a lot of vaccinations. And helped some hurt dogs, including some quill dogs.

We have so many people to thank for all their help … but, we’ll do a “ThankYouPalooza” tomorrow when we don’t have our hands full of kennels to get off the bus.

And it’s time to do laundry. You wouldn’t believe all the things that need to be washed, especially when we have a spay and neuter clinic. Now you know why we often have laundry detergent on the wishlist.

On to shower logistics. How do six dirty humans share one shower? Hopefully, one tired body at a time. But, the good news is we did 59 spay and neuters, helped one dog with lacerations and another with quills.

Taking us out tonight is our sweet old girl, Miss Mabel. Love comes in all shapes and sizes and age matters not … we still adore her. Good night everyone. We get to do it all over again tomorrow.

08/24/2024

A big shoutout to Chris at SMP Health - St. Kateri! Thank you so much for your donation so we could have two anesthesia machines running today! You all are absolutely amazing!

08/24/2024

Our clinic is under way!

Today we kicked off the free spay~N~neuter clinic and also are providing free vaccines for the community’s pets!

If you missed getting out today, we will be here tomorrow too, on Sunday (August 25th) from noon to 3pm! This will be on a first come first serve basis at the fitness center in Belcourt.
No appointment necessary!

We will have parvo/distemper for dogs, Rhinotracheitis-Calicivirus-Panleukopenia for cats, and rabies vaccinations for both dogs and cats.

Puppies must be 6 weeks old for Parvo vaccination and healthy with no vomiting or diarrhea or Parvo signs, kittens must be 7 weeks, animal must be 3 months old for rabies vaccination.

Ahoy There, Matey!

Arghhhh … shiver me timbers, we’ve got a pirate on board. And not just any pirate. A female pirate! Say ahoy to Anne Bonny, a captivating three month old Rottie/Lab mix. Thanks to the foster who took a dog into their home, we were able to shuffle some pups around and bring this sweet little girl into the rescue. She had a horrible eye infection. It was so bad it was swollen shut, but a trip to the vet and the right treatment has her on the mend. She still can’t see out of that eye, but at least it’s no longer infected and painful.

We’ve still got really tight quarters with many animals on the waiting list. So, please, if you’re able to foster or adopt, go to one of the links below and sign up. You’ll be saving two lives … one of the dog you bring into your home and the other of a dog that we can bring into the rescue with the newly opened space.

Remember, “RescueMatters” and you’re what keeps us going. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Signing off, Anne says, “May yer anchor be ever tight” and weighed down with a ton of dog treats!

Getting Some Puppy Love

Keith is getting some much-needed puppy love. Ammo, Dawson, Egan, Kairo, Kiana, Neeko, Quinn and Rip are happy to oblige. Aren’t they adorable?

The stress of not being able to place dogs with fosters/adopters can weigh heavily on your mind when you know there are others out there that desperately need you. If you’re able to adopt or foster, you can help us rescue more. Check out the links below.

Right now, there’s an injured dog that needs Keith’s attention, so it’s a short video tonight. But we want to thank you for joining us and all of your support. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Creative Physical Therapy

When you don’t have a dedicated area for physical therapy, you get creative. Keith takes little Barney for his therapy walk … back and forth in the supply aisle. Hey, it works for now. But, if you know of anywhere Barney could go that has the ability to do physical therapy with him, please message the page.

Did you see the goat Keith helped earlier? So darn adorable! Check it out.

Oh well, time to go and get some rest. Signing out with a close-up shot of Mr. Barney … our little Forest Gump with the Dumbo ears. ❤

Night, night to everyone!

Tia is a rare and exotic Tasmanian horn hound.

Yes, it’s a baby goat. Was attacked by some dogs, owner tried to get into a vet but all the appointments were filled. The only other option was me, who knows nothing about goats. We figured it out, trimmed the hair, debrieded the wounds, cleaned and stapled and yeah, it worked lol. Happy little goat dude is all better.

We are at PetSmart tonight, August 21,

You Can Help Us Rescue

Hello Bashful, Blueford, Liza and Patch! Four sweet puppies visit with Keith tonight as he gives an urgent plea for fosters and adopters. We’re so overloaded at the rescue and have even more animals that need to come in. So, if you’re a foster, would like to be a foster or are thinking about adopting, now is the time. We urgently need you … see the links below.

We have a spay and neuter clinic that is full this weekend, but we will be doing shots on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3 PM at the Belcourt Fitness Center. No appointment necessary for vaccinations, just come on out and we’ll “git ‘er done”!

That’s all for now … until tomorrow … Keith and puppies say good night.
