How has sweet Sheba not have any applications come in??
She's such a sweet girl, she's spayed, up to date on all shots, and ready for her furever home!!
She is a shepherd mix we believe. She was rescued from a home where she had no vetting, was kept in a basement or bathroom only.

Applications for her can be found on the website.

❤️

I want to thank everyone for all your kind words, messages and donations for sweet Marvella. Every loss hits so hard, takes a piece of our hearts. My foster Kelly Dunn Reimold who had stepped up for Marvella, sent me a picture of another mom with pups.
I'll be honest here, I couldn't even look at it for a few hours, my heart wasn't in it. Once I did, even though my heart was not ready, I knew she needed help.
She would have ended up in the same shelter Marvella did without help. She has 10 pups, was living under an abandoned trailer. Luckily someone did take her in, but they could not keep her.
The saddest thing is that another rescue took her last litter of pups, and left mom there on the streets, somehow she has survived. That made my blood boil, that's a sh*tty excuse for a rescue, I'm sorry, but MOM is NEVER left behind.
Anyone that donated to Marvella, these funds will be used for the new mom coming.
I haven't thought of a name yet, maybe tomorrow. I think Marvella sent her to us, the timing was just such a coincidence.

💔💔💔💔

I want to add, she was not pregnant, this was fluid in her abdomen from her heart failing.

I have been waiting to update on Sweet Marvella. This was not an update I wanted to make. After my foster got her home last night, she knew something was not right. She could not feel any babies, there was no milk. Her breathing was extremely labored. She was taken to vet this morning, and even though I feared the prognosis, I was completely devastated when the vet called.
See Marvella was in end stage heartworm disease, something so preventable, but Noone cared to treat her.
We were given 3 options
Humanely Euthanize
Take her to Texas A&M for surgery ($8,000)
Allow Houston Spay and Netuer to do the surgery there.
We chose to let them try. Going in her prognosis was very guarded, her gums were pale, her breathing was labored. Her abdomen full of fluid. They were trying to remove some of the adult heartworms. They were not able to do this, they had migrated to her lungs and deep into her heart. There was no other treatment, her heart was too damaged, she had been sick for too long. The decision was made to not bring her out of anesthesia, to suffer anymore. This was not an easy decision, but we know in our hearts it was the right one.

I'm devastated, we tried so hard. How we went from a pregnant mom to a sweet 7 year old dog that was dying. She wanted so much to live and be loved. Her tail was wagging the whole time at the vet.

❗️ If you had donated, I can refund your money, please message me and I will send back. Her bill for today is attached.

I want to thank Dr Hannah at Houston Spay and Neuter for trying. They did not charge hardly anything to do the surgery, and I so much appreciate that.

The only comfort I can find right now, is that she did not die in that shelter, all alone.
My foster at least showed her love, probably more than she had ever had before. It's not much, but it's some comfort.

I'm so sorry Marvella, we were too late to save you. I hope that whoever once owned you, can live with what they did. Not once getting you help. You had a chance, if someone had only treated you sooner.

RIP sweet girl. Your ashes and paw print will be kept here with me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️. FREEDOM
Momma is out of the shelter!! She looks to be very young, and very malnourished.
She is also having contractions and most likely will not make it here to have pups.
She will be going to get vet clearance to come to us. She will arrive, hopefully on Saturday.
She has such a cute bobtail.
She loved the fosters son instantly.
Please pray all goes good.

I am calling her Marvella
The name Marvella is a variation on the word "marvel" and is derived from the Latin word mirabilia, which means "wonderful things". The name Marvella means "wonderful," "admirable," and "amazing".


We will also be getting the Amazon list set up to go to our foster here as well.

Here are the links to donate towards her transport and vetting.

Huey is another Mega E pup we would like to help live a great life… Lowe, our current forever foster is doing great. This guy will need a barium X-ray to rule out PRAA, which can be operable.. or Megaesophagus which is not. Maybe a forever foster placement so please, serious inquiries only as he is near Philadelphia and we have to make arrangements 🐾 Thank you!!

UPDATE. SHE'S OUT
We are working on getting her here. She would come via private transport, as she can not come on a regular van, with 50 other dogs.
I am working every angle here at the same time, and it's alot. She needs to get to a vet and get shots and a health certificate ASAP.
The other issue is seeing what we can financially cover with the $1900 transport.
Just bear with me.
And we do not know how she is with other dogs. We do not have the luxury of time to have her tested, she looks like she is going to have these pups anytime. They did say as she walked past kennels, there was no reaction to the other dogs barking.

Hi!! I can’t help her and it’s killing us… Can someone step up to foster this REALLY preg momma in a kill shelter 🙏🐾

09/13/2024

It’s FRIDAY!! You know what that means!! Let’s all pull together this $5 FRIDAY for ADOPTABLE AZULA!! 💕 Boarding, and food isn’t free, unfortunately and this sweet girl still is still looking a family or person of her own— still no foster or someone to kiss goodnight 😞
Please, PLEASE share!! 🐾💕

The mom to our Rock Star litter will be coming soon!! Looking like end of October!
Her heartworm treatment will be completed by then!!

She does have a potential adopter, but I am needing a foster. She is shy with other dogs, but gets along with them just fine.
If I have any fosters that are somewhat closer to Hanover, PA. That would be awesome. Trying to save adopters from the long drive if possible.

🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

We took in a beautiful male white shepherd last weekend.
He was a local surrender, 10 months old, neutured and up to date on all shots.
He's a great boy, big and beautiful. I did not immediately post him, as I was pretty sure the foster was going to be a foster fail. They told me tonight, that yes, they indeed want to add him to their family.
Rehoming older pups is hard, they take time to adjust. I just wish people would understand what they are getting when they buy a large breed puppy.
They take time, training, socialization and patience.
Welcome home Judas!! You are a lucky dog!!

🐾🐾🐾🐾 SHE'S COVERED!!!
WE WILL BE TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR ADOPTION!
She will be available in about 3 weeks.
Looking for a foster for a 7 month old female. She's spayed, up to date on all shots and preventatives.
She has been with cats and other dogs. And children 8+.
She was one of the original rock star litter, she was adopted in Texas by foster, but she can no longer keep her. This was not approved by us, just so everyone knows.
All these pups are super smart and sweet!!

Sheba was given a clean bill of health!!
We are going to schedule her spay with this Veterinarian. We want to have her completely vetted and ready to go to a new home.
A little more than we originally wanted to spend, but it will be sooner than a clinic.

If you would like to donate to her spay, any help is appreciated!!

You can Donate directly on the website, and receive your receipt for your taxes automatically!!

Was a very busy weekend!! Bailey, also made his way to the rescue. He was originally adopted from us almost 3 years ago.
His previous owner was moving and could not take him. He is currently in foster, and getting some much needed training and socialization. He is a sweet boy, his eyes are gorgeous.
He is neutured, up to date on all shots and preventatives.
He will be available in a few weeks, maybe a little longer, we will see how his training goes.

Sheba is doing great at her fosters home!! She is going to the vet tomorrow for a check up and shots.
She plays well with the older shepherd in the home. She has alot of puppy energy!! She will be available next week, but her spay appointment will need to be kept by the adopter!!
She loves to snuggle and give kisses, she would do great with another dog, with her energy level, or she would do great as the only dog! She doesn't seem to mind the cat in the home, she's just curious about it.
Due to her energy and size level, we suggest kids 10+. She does not know her size and could easily knock over young children.
If you are interested in meeting her, you can fill out the application online.
