Sooo proud and want to give a huge woofin shout out to Jessica and Momma Phoenix who literally saved 7 tiny precious little lives last night plus all throughout the night... Our bat phone went off last night around 9 pm and a stray momma dog showed up at a very nice family property and she gave birth under their shed and sadly momma was hit by a car and passed away 💔.... Breaks my heart first that momma was a stray, pregnant, hurts that momma gave birth under a shed and then sadly gets hit by a car and dies while she was protecting her family. I just don't know what to say anymore... So much is wrong with all the above and literally heartwrenching what animals go through here. So wrong and gut wrenching and poor momma just to think what her last few minutes of life were like, I am sorry to momma and for momma. Dumped, gave birth under a shed and hit by car and died. If not for this nice family this little family would have died if they didnt care and reach out for help.

Clay called Jessica late last night and asked could momma Phoenix in her personal rescue care that she rescued from a dire situation and momma Phoenix gave birth to 8 healthy puppies and they are six weeks old now so Momma Phoenix had lots of milk to help this little helpless family that lost their momma... The very nice family met Jessica late last night with 7 four day old puppies and Jessica got them to momma Phoenix and just like a champion of mommas took instant care of them and nursed them all night long, kissed all seven, thank you Momma Phoenix for adopting a little family for 24 hours and Miss Vicki who came through also as she had a nursing momma in her rescue care that is taking care of this family now so we thank Vicki for taking care of this family and being there.

So we want to thank everyone that played a huge vital role last night, Jessica, Dana, Merry, Vicki, nice family with 7 puppies, and neighbor of nice family in saving 7 precious 4 day old babies and biggest shout out and huge hugs to Momma Phoenix thank you 🥰🐾🐾🥰 and thanks to her personal kids for sharing!!

Gimlet, Bellini and Thelma are on their way to Shultz Guest House and we are soooo woofin excited for them in the start of the most important part of their rescue journey their very own Family!!! Thank you to Estela & fam, Sabrina & fam for fostering and changing Gimlet & Thelma's life. Thank you.

Bellini we miss and love you lots and no better gift than what is waiting for you, your own family!!!
🥰 🐾 🐾 🥰 Hugs to you our dear friend!!

More family pets spayed and neutered the last few weeks and we are so extremely thankful for that cause those very actions change the over population problem we have here.

Thank you Merry (Bark Place 4 dogs) for everything, your dedication is admirable and we love your heart!!! Thank you!!
Thank you Shultz's Guest House for believing in our special rescues!!!
Best wishes Gimlet, Bellini and Thelma and the sweet little family of 7.

Eeyore on intake day was as close to death as you can get. I am sure 8 of her 9 lives were used up along with her two eyes but Eeyore survived and is thriving today, due to rescue!!

Eeyore lost both eyes due to neglect, think about that, once again a momma who was not fixed gives birth in horrible conditions and in filth and Eeyore has to suffer because of some people not doing the right course of action and no one to take care of her for the first few weeks of her life. Eeyore's Momma had babies under an abandoned trailer (we got momma fixed and adopted) other siblings out, vetted, fixed, adopted but sadly Eeyore lost her sight cause of pure negligence and being abandoned and momma not spayed.

Think, think, think when you hear someone say its just one momma cat or its just one cat. Eeyore would love to have her vision but that does not matter now, Eeyore loves life, everything from her heart!!

For the love of smurfs look at Eeyore intake day, so much pain Eeyore was in and ask yourself is this fair?? or right?? and please from Eeyore and all of us, please spay and neuter, please help us, please!!
Please be apart of the solution and not this cycle it needs to stop. Helpless animals suffer.

Much meowy love,

~~Tammy & Eeyore~~

Emanuele Grandi's moving poem dedicated to our four-legged friends.

"If you are afraid of having given me few caresses, you should know that I have not forgotten even one.

If you regret having scolded me even once, you should know that I don't even remember it.

If you think you've left me alone for too long, you should know that I've always been waiting for you.

If you are afraid of having spent little time with me, you should know that I, even that little, have enjoyed every moment.

If you think you've played little with me, you should know that I've never counted the times you threw the ball at me.

If you think I've forgotten about your perfume, you should know that even now I'm smelling it in the wind.

If you wanted to be reborn in another life, you should know that I would like to be your puppy in that one too.

If you are convinced that you have some flaws, you should know that for me you have been the perfect one.

If you believe that love can have an end, you should know that in my heart the place of love is infinite.

If you think you have regrets about me, you should know that I would not change a single second of the life I have spent with you.

If you think I no longer hear your voice when you call me, just entrust the sunset breeze with the task of bringing me your words.

If you think I can forget your face, you should know that I wanted to live alone to enjoy your look.

If you think I could have loved someone more than you, you should know that I have loved you more than myself.

If you think I would like a soft sofa, know that with you I would also have slept on the stones.

If you think I wanted more than you gave me, you should know that I've always felt
like the happiest puppy in the world.

If you have ever felt alone, you should know that I have never left my place next to you.

If you think my life has been short, you should know that I wouldn't have wanted to live a minute longer if I hadn't spent it by your side.

If you are afraid that I am no longer near you, know that as soon as you close your eyes I will fall asleep next to you.

If you think you have not made the right decision, you should know that I have always trusted you.

Always.”

Rescues, trainers, daycare centers, animal control... All facilities and places that care for animals should be thoroughly checked out and you yourself should always go to any place that takes care of animals and truly make sure they are being taken care of, if you don't want to stay after visiting pretty Damm Skippy that Skippy won't want to stay either!!
Just my opinion!!

Morgan Barrick has been charged with 35 counts of animal cruelty after 21 dead dogs were found inside her home, according to police. ------------------------...

Reduce Pet Overpopulation and Save Lives

The number of homeless animals varies by state, however, in some states there are as many as 300,000 homeless animals euthanized in animal shelters every year. Nationwide there are more than 2.7 million healthy, adoptable cats and dogs that are euthanized in shelters annually. By spaying and neutering animals, we reduce the potential amount of animals on the streets and entering shelters!

Every year, millions of dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, are needlessly euthanized in shelters across the United States. Every single pet owner and community member can make a difference in combatting this heartbreaking issue through sterilization.

"They tell you not to cry.
They tell you he's just a dog, not a human.
They tell you it will pass.
They tell you that animals do not know that they must die.
They tell you that the important thing is not to make them suffer.
They tell you that you can get another one.
They tell you it will happen.
They tell you there are more unbearable pains.
But they don't know how many times you've looked your dog in the eye.
They don't know how many times it was you and your dog that looked in the dark.
They don't know how many times your dog was the only one by your side.
They don't know that the only one who hasn't judged you is your dog.
They don't know how scared you were the night his moans woke you up.
They don't know how many times your dog has slept next to you.
They don't know how much you've changed since the dog became a part of your life.
They don't know how many times you hugged him when he was sick.
They don't know how many times you pretended not to see when his hair was getting whiter and whiter.
They don't know how many times you've talked to your dog, the only one who really listens to you.
They don't know how good you were to your dog.
Little do they know that only your dog knew you were in pain.
They don't know what it's like to see your old dog trying to come over and say hello.
They don't know that when things go wrong, the only one who isn't gone is your dog.
They don't know that your dog trusts you, every moment of his life, even at the last moment.
They don't know how much your dog loved you and how little he needed to be happy, because you were enough for him.
They don't know that crying for a dog is one of the noblest, most meaningful, truest and purest things you can do.
They don't know about the last time you rocked him hard... being careful not to hurt him.
They don't know what you felt when you caressed his face in the last moments of his life."

"Rescue Me Please"

Rescue me not only with your hands
but with your heart as well.
I will respond to you.

Rescue me not out of pity
but out of love.
I will love you back.

Rescue me not with self-righteousness
but with compassion.
I will learn what you teach.

Rescue me not because of my past
but because of my future.
I will relax and enjoy.

Rescue me not simply to save me
but to give me a new life.
I will appreciate your gift.

Rescue me not only with a firm hand
but with tolerance and patience.
I will please you.

Rescue me not only because of who I am
but who I'm to become.
I will grow and mature.

Rescue me not to revere yourself to others
but because you want me.
I will never let you down.

Rescue me not with a hidden agenda
but with a desire to teach me to trust.
I will be loyal and true.

Rescue me not to be chained or to fight
but to be your companion.
I will stand by your side.

Rescue me not to replace one you've lost
but to soothe your spirit.
I will cherish you.

Rescue me not to be your pet
but to be your friend.
I will give you unconditional love.
Please Rescue Me!

These lucky dogs were rescued from a life of neglect and cruelty at a Korean dog meat farm and flown to the San Francisco SPCA to begin their new lives. From experiencing their first bed to learning kindness through their first belly rub, these rescue dogs are finally learning what love really is!Wa...
