As the founder of Rescue4All, I am, first and foremost, an animal advocate. I believe that animals are not mere property or commodities, but living, feeling beings deserving of the best care. My mission is to educate people about the resources available to help them care for their animals and the importance of spaying and neutering. I am a relentless fighter against animal cruelty, neglect, and abuse. I firmly believe that Humans are the ONLY Monsters and that we can do better by the animals of this earth. I am determined to make a world where animal cruelty is just a sad memory. Animals are a lifetime commitment for their ENTIRE life. There are always exceptions to every rule, but those are very rare. Just because you are moving doesn't mean you bail on your animals. I decided to start Rescue4All because there are so many animals in need and so many people who simply do not know better. I am here to stand up for ALL animals. That is the unwavering mission of Rescue4All!

With right around the corner allowe to share why R4A is changing the lives of people & dogs for the BEST 🫶

With over 700 adoptions since 2013 there are still first times and special adoptions that truly make my heart soar and restore my spirit 🥰

Ready for one of our happiest DUAL adoptions in Rescue4All history!?!?? 😍

Please say HAPPY ADOPTION DAY to Johnny &!Kiki who were adopted TOGETHER!!!! 💞

Johnny came to R4A in May of 2022 and here is his original post from June 2022: https://www.facebook.com/share/Dicw2UTex2ZcmHrs/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Kiki came to R4A in 2022 also but for her safety we didn't post her until a year later when she had been successfully rehabilitated in 20233 and was ready for adoption. Here is her original post: https://www.facebook.com/share/reFapCi7jhSmTNE6/?mibextid=WC7FNe

These two amazing dogs didn't know one another until their lives intersected at the Rescue4All Refuge. The safest place they had ever been in their entire lives. A place where they were able to learn that people are good, food is not a luxury, hands don't hurt them, and getting love, learning new life skills, getting their physical, mental, and emotional needs met was the norm.

They thrived and they also became BFF’s 🩷🩵

Then two years into their time as R4A foster dogs a great application came in for Kiki. They sailed through our entire adoption process but were traveling for a few weeks before they could come meet her here at the Refuge.

We had many text conversations and one day they asked if there could be a potential to adopt two dogs? They had lost both their dogs ❤️‍🩹, had always had two dogs, didn’t want Kiki (who loves other dogs) to be bored or lonely. They had no other animals at home and felt more than capable of fulfilling the needs of two dogs. We agreed and said yes that would be a definite possibility.

They asked who Kiki seemed to gravitate to and without hesitation I said JOHNNY!

Jackie and Bryan got back from their travels and came to the refuge and everything went pretty much perfectly!!!

Kiki and Johnny left that day on their 2 week foster to adopt, on the path of their new lives with their new potential mom and dad ❤️

It was such an easy transition because the dogs already knew one another, lived with one another, know and learned all the same things, and had a relationship.

After 2+ years, Kiki and Johnny made themselves at home….their forever home.

From Bryan and Jackie:

“Hi from the Rushton family, just a quick note on how Rescu4All changed our lives.

We recently adopted 2 dogs from their rescue, after losing our beloved dogs to old age. We were so sad, and lonely without our furry companions, we quit hiking, and walking because it just wasn’t the same.

Being empty nesters we absolutely cherished our dogs, they weren’t just dogs to us, they were our family, so months of us being without them, we decided to find a new companion.

The search began to find our perfect fit ,we were determined to find one from a rescue. I looked on pet finder, seen Kikis bio, but I wasn’t going to jump right into the first dog I seen. I scrolled through 100s of different sites, friends, and family kept looking for me as well, but none them felt right, for some reason I just couldn’t get Kiki out of head, I knew from the very beginning that was the dog that belonged in our family.

I waited so long that I was afraid someone else had adopted her, but to my surprise she was still available. We started the adoption process, it wasn’t an easy task, they aren’t just going to let anyone adopt their dogs.

They want someone that isn’t going to abuse them or decide in a few months it’s to much trouble, they want a perfect fit so we started the requirements of training videos, reading books, educating ourselves so we could give her the best possible chance of success when moving in with us.

After being interviewed we were invited to come meet her, but before that big day I asked if she had best friend that we could meet too, and possibly adopt, so she could have a friend & Johnny came into our lives at that point.

We literally fell in love right through the gate upon meeting them, we adopted the 2 best dogs ever we won the doggie lottery. They absolutely return our love, and complete our family, we couldn’t be happier.

None of this would be possible without the love and devotion that Jamie puts into her dogs. We were completely in ahhh seeing her with all the foster dogs living their best lives at the refuge.

They are so loved and taken care of, I almost cried from what we were witnessing. She is a blessing in the life of so many. I want to take a moment and let her know how much she’s appreciated. She’s a true angel to everyone especially the canine fur babies in their sanctuary. I'm more grateful to her than words can express.

Few people possess the considerate, unselfish, loving heart that she has, and even fewer are willing to give so much of themselves. I thank her for her kindness and for being the wonderful, amazing person she’s truly a dog whisperer, such beautiful soul.

Kiki and Johnny are the greatest dogs they have adjusted so well, and are absolutely an amazing part of our family we couldn’t have asked for a better life with them. They both love fetch and are in competition with who gets the ball first.

Thank you R4A for making all of this possible ❤️❤️”

Congratulations 🎉 Bryan and Jackie!!!! Thank you for being amazing adopters and dog lovers!!!

Kiki aka Keeks aka KeekARiffic and Johnny aka JDawg aka Johnny #5 (throw back to the movie Short Citcut), I wish you could read…while yes it is different without you here and you are both missed, I am so unbelievably happy you found your forever family and honored to have been a part of how you got to the home you both deserve ❣️

Love you 😘

Please help us say 🐾 Happy Adoption Day 🐾 Ivy 💜

For those of you who don’t remember Ivy came to Rescue4All after being g brought into a shelter with a badly infected, compounded fracture to her jaw that was turning septic because she was left untreated and in horrible pain for days. She was facing euthanasia but with our rescue commitment to the shelter she was saved!

Dr. Hillary was able to perform her surgery to put the bone back under the skin and she was in a soft muzzle to stabilize her jaw and eventually made a full recovery!

Here is her original post: https://www.facebook.com/share/QEGq5tMk5Y6QT9HV/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Wendy and Matt were seeking a social, kind, younger dog who would be good with their very dog savvy cat. They met Ivy at an event and they thought she was awesome and the bonus is that she LOVES cats and her new mom and dad are more than happy to pay her the “ice maker tax” 🧊 🐶

She has landed in her perfect home!

Congratulations 🎉 Wendy, Matt, and her older 🐈 brother Ferg ❤️

Adoption story time ❤️

Sometimes we unknowingly cross paths with a special dog and from that day forward it’s unfathomable to imagine our life without them.

That’s what happened with our foster girl Kaylee and Dustin.

Dustin, Caitlin, and Maddie have been an amazing foster home for so many dogs and they have an affinity for senior dogs especially. They fostered Jack and Doja for R4A and eventually made each a permanent family members.

In 2018 Kaylee was transferred to R4A from Animal Control after being picked up as a stray and never claimed. She was spayed and fully vetted and shortly after was adopted, unfortunately 3 years later she was returned to us because those people spilt up and neither could or would take responsibility for Kaylee. 😡

We are committed to our dogs from the day they come into our organization until the day they pass. Which means that Kaylee (and all our dogs) has a safe place to land after being let down by people for the second time.

The great thing about rescues, like Rescue4All, is that the dogs don’t wind back up in a shelter as a number, potentially with their lives hanging in the balance. They come back to R4A where they are known as an individual, their quirks, their personality, where they are able to be dogs and decompress and just BE. They get to regroup, get training, get their mental, physical, and emotional needs met. Where they are safe, loved, and cared for ❤️

In January 2024 I needed help picking up Kaylee from a vet appointment and they were more than willing to pick her up and let her hang out until I could come pick her up later that evening….shortly after picking her up I got a text saying she could stay the night if that helped me out and we could meet up the next day. I said sure.

Well let’s just say that next day has been extended….indefinitely 🥰

As you can see Dustin and Kaylee have an incredible bond. They love one another. We are so happy to say that she has finally found her forever home 🫶

🩷 HAPPY ADOPTION DAY KAYLEE 💜

Oh and congratulations to Caitlin, Maddie, and Doja too! 😉

The Golden Foster Boys 🫶

Hachi, Ryder, and Arlo

They each were intentionally brought into a home as puppies.

They each were failed by the very people who were supposed to love them and keep them safe for their entire lives.

They each were left with their lives turned upside down and they lost everything they knew and trusted because they like millions of other dogs became unwanted because people didn’t do what they should have done to set them up for success.

Pets
Are
For
Life

The explosion of unwanted animals is a combined, collective, escalating crisis because of PEOPLE in our communities who lack accountability, who are irresponsible, who are complacent, who are not spaying and neutering resulting in intentional and unintentional breeding despite the overpopulation crisis, & aren’t keeping their pets for their lifetime.

BEFORE choosing to get a pet people need to truly take a self inventory and ensure they understand the financial commitment along they can provide a stable home. Which begins by having a concrete plan for your pet especially should something happen to the animal, yourself, or your living situation.

Do better.

There is absolutely no way for rescues and shelters to be able to keep up with the sheer number of unwanted animals being irresponsibly brought into this world and those being displaced by their people.

These boys are a few of the lucky ones who won’t lose their lives simply because they are unwanted.

Tell me dogs don’t have besties and soulmates 💜🩷

🐾 Happy Adoption Day 🐾 to our super sweet and stunning girl Shyla 💜 aka ShyShy

Shyla was found as a stray and transferred to us from Animal Control. She was skinny, shut down and was so shy of the world and with people.

She needed time to learn how to be a dog without all the usual pressures and expectations that people put on dogs, and that is exactly what she was able to get during her fosterThe Urban Canine Refuge.

After many months learning to trust and knowing I would always be her advocate she was ready to re-experience the world from a better mindset.

One day while Shyla was being my copilot running errands I had to stop and pick up dog food from Melissa and Erika at their house. They are the owners of The Urban Canine and also adopted another one of our R4A dogs, Anya.

Anya and Shyla already knew each other because they were in foster at the Refuge together. Anya is a VERY picky girl when it comes to what dogs sThe Good Dog (Sean O’Shea)h.

Anya and Shyla already knew each other because they were in foster at the Refuge together. Anya is a VERY picky girl when it comes to what dogs she will engage in play with.

They are bully breed lovers and hadn’t met Shyla before so we let her in their backyard and they adored her. They let Anya out and these two girls instantly remembered one another and began the most hilarious game of tug and keep away.

Within days they began “fostering” Shyla and before long they all knew they loved her and there was no denying that she and Anya were the best of friends. Shyla finally found her forever family.

They wanted both girls to be their best selves and they enrolled both of them simultaneously in a 6 week board and train and now they have the dogs they have always wanted.

They aren’t perfect but they are committed to getting them everything they need and working everyday to help them be their best!

Congratulations 🎉 Melissa, Erika & their older brother Rocko ❤️

After 18 months in foster please help us say:

🎉 Happy Adoption Day Maverick Sly 🎉

Sometimes it just takes time to find your forever family and he found his perfect home with Cyndi and Bryan!

“Maverick Sly – the coolest dog’s name for the coolest dog ever! Maverick is a sweet, tender, shy dog who is experiencing and learning all kinds of new smells from the local restaurants and coffee shops nearby, to all the loud sounds of trains, trucks, and motorcycles. He is still trying to figure out the local wildlife though with all the squawking squirrels (tormenting and teasing him from the fence) to all the wondering gobbling Turkeys notorious to the South Hill, to the pesty skunk that roams in the backyard often! He is learning fetch and loves his daily car rides each morning and evening, to nightly walks through the Perry District where he gets to people watch as he strolls by them. We love his freckles, we love him, he is a really is a good dog. Great fit. We are super happy 😊 “

Today we are going to do a story time ❤️

Chapter 1: She Lived Happily Ever More

💜 The Story of Violet 💜

Let me take you back to June 25th when an amazing dog loving Law Enforcement Officer was on duty at the Walmart on Sprague here in Spokane.

He saw a man with a puppy approaching numerous people coming out of the store and in the parking lot.

The officer was concerned about the puppy and approached the man just to ask some questions.

The man said he had the puppy for a few months but lived in an apartment and he works full time, has several children and another baby coming. The puppy was not working out, so he was trying to give the puppy away….to literally anyone who would yes 😳

The puppy was a 5ish month old female heeler who was super cute but very unsure, and who can blame her. 😞

The officer made the choice to intervene to help make sure this puppy didn’t end up in a worse situation than she was currently in. He offered to contact a rescue (Rescue4All) and see if he could find a safe place for her. Luckily the man took him up on it and the officer text me to ask if we could take her.

After hearing the story and what could happen to her with him just giving her to anyone especially in a bad area of town ….there was no way I could say anything other than Yes.

The man surrendered her to R4A & the officer put her in his patrol car until one of our amazing volunteers could pick her up 🥰

She went into a temporary foster for 2 days with Adrienne while I found a foster home who could commit to fostering her long term.

I reached out to everyone I know and not getting anyone who could help until Courtney (she and her family are R4A adopters and rockstar volunteers) who said she would reach out to her sister Erin….and SHE SAID YES!!!!

Violet went into foster with Erin and her husband
Zach, their pack of 4 dogs, kitties and small farm on the 28th of June ☀️

Erin & Zach are who named her Violet 💜 She had a lot of fear, especially of men, but she absolutely loved their pack of dogs and gained a lot of confidence simply from watching them.

Three months of Erin and Zach putting in the work every day with a daily routine and clear training Violet has made HUGE strides in every way so much so they said they can’t imagine their lives without her!!!!

So please help me say 💜 HAPPY ADOPTION DAY VIOLET 💜

Congratulations 🎉 to Erin, Zach & her new family dog pack Seamus, Quentin, Renly, and Aelin ❤️

Thank you for to everyone who helped make sure Violet was safe and loved!

Thank you for making a difference and for being ridiculous fantastic dog loving humans 🫶

Let’s walk Wednesday edition!

FUN FACT: Everyday, every single day, I pack walk with all the dogs at minimum 3 miles around the Refuge which sits on 10 acres that is fully fenced with 6’ chain link.

One mile = 3 laps

Getting the dogs physical exercise outside in a group doing a “job” helps build their relationship with one another and also with me.

This isn’t a structured walk, this is a constructive time for them to be active in a respectful, cohesive, collective manner.

Yes, they can choose to go off and do their own thing, or run and play but notice that the majority of them are simply walking with me. Pretty neat huh?

Dogs are not sedentary creatures, they were born to be active and getting them out of the house and yard every day is a fundamental part of you choosing to have a dog.

Make the most of the time you have with them, enjoy them, and participate in their lives by taking full advantage of every great bonding opportunity.

Your dog’s life is only as full as you make it!

For perspective, it takes 52 bags of NutriSource Turkey & Rice food to feed this pack of foster dogs.

We choose to feed a high quality, reputable brand that is family owned and also owns their own manufacturing & canning facilities because we want our dogs to have the best food we are able to provide.

That’s where health begins.

We purchase it from The Urban Canine, an amazing, knowledgeable, locally owned pet food store who loves animals and is R4A foster and 2 time adopters.

They get a deal for us at $42/bag (not including tax)

104 bags of food at $42/bag = $4,368 a month for the basic cost to feed our foster dogs.

Annually that is $52,416 at the minimum 🤯

Please consider donating to help us cover the basic cost of food for these amazing dogs! You can also come and support us at the Barking Lot Pawty at The Urban Canine South Hill this Saturday, September 28th from 1pm to 4pm!!!

Just for perspective their food cost would be completely covered if we had month donors:

104 food sponsors @ $42 per month
208 food sponsors @ $21 per month
416 food sponsors @ $10.50 per month
832 food sponsors @ $5.25 per month
