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!

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 😊 “

Congrats 🎊 Cyndi, Bryan and Maverick 😍

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

Foster dog Arlo’s opinion on summer is coming to an end as he is enjoying one of his last pool days of the season.

ACCOUNTABILITY is something I advocate for, and telling the truth about things is something I take seriously and take pride in.

Arlo was adopted from us back in 2020. Despite our extensive application, interview process required training, and making ourselves available for post-adoption support…. sometimes people don’t get what a lifetime commitment to a pet is and what that entails.

Here is his original post: https://www.facebook.com/share/pWus4TaZckaYkoSp/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Arlo was returned to us in July 2024, as required by our contract. His former adopters set him up to fail repeatedly and would not take accountability for their actions or make the needed adjustments to advocate for him and their other dog were safe from their child.

Lucky for him because he could have been labeled as something he is not, and it could have cost him his life.

He is a cautionary tale of what happens when humans say, “We love our dog so much,” but don’t know, understand, or care about setting their dogs and children up for success.

Arlo hadn’t been outside of his home or yard for a walk for 6+ MONTHS! Your dog's world is as small or big as you make it.

He wasn’t getting his BASIC mental and physical needs met but expected to thrive in his home and yard, and all he was doing was existing as a thing.

They chose to add a baby to the home and then actively and knowingly allowed that baby to feed the dogs by hand but then got mad when the dog would steal food from the baby.

They allowed the baby to approach and stare in the face of the dogs, hit them, and pull on their bodies…. they refused to implement and hold themselves and the baby to boundaries about being respectful of animals because the baby is only a year old?!?? WHAT?!??

They blamed their dogs for defending themselves from a child being invasive, pulling on them, being aggressive, and hitting them.

This was not the dog's fault. It is 100% the ADULT's FAILURE TO BE PROACTIVE, PREPARED, DEDICATED, & RESPONSIBLE.

Over 90% of all incidents involving children and dogs is because of adults not taking proper precautions.

Dogs and children should NEVER be left unattended.

Children should NEVER, EVER be allowed to touch a dog (or any pet) when they are eating or sleeping.

Children must be taught to respect a pets space and only be permitted to interact with them appropriately. It is a privilege to interact with a pet not a right and that is earned.

You must be your dog’s advocate and set them up for success and take precautions 100% of the time.

Arlo is a great dog and we will find a home who truly wants the absolute best for him and shows that!

He is not and was not the problem. This was 100% human failure.

We will ensure Arlo’s next family actions match their words when they say they love him, because they will do everything possible for him to live and thrive in his life!

YAY!!! 🙂 YAY!!! 😊 YAY!!!! 😃

Running a dog rescue for 11 years with no days off and no vacations WILL take its toll. Rescuers sacrifice so much of their lives, time not spent with friends and family, time taken from their personal pets are things we will never get back. By saying yes to the dogs from people who “love their dog so much but can’t keep them because blah blah blah” we say no to our own lives. I am ONE person running a rescue with 76 dogs. Unwanted animals being given up on by their people is at an all time high. We are in the midst of a human caused unwanted animal overpopulation CRISIS because of PEOPLE!!!!! It is a sad fact that I cannot save them all. Compassion fatigue is REAL. Exhaustion shouldn’t be normal. When you find that more of your days have been about existing it is time to make a decision to take back some control. I can only do what I can for the dogs who are here RIGHT NOW. There are only so many days I will get with my personal dogs like Weston who is 12.5 years old and Hadley who just turned 8 years old. Yesterday was THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT day and I made the choice to take 4 hours go hiking and have fun with my dogs, something that I haven’t done in over A YEAR despite the fact that Slavin is 5 minutes from the Refuge. I am trying to find a better balance in rescue and living. Thank you @hellis_yea for being an awesome friend and R4A Alumni, Eddie for the super fun day! #Rescue4All #Rescue4Life #LetsSaveSomeDogs 🐾 🐾 #rescuedog #rescue #foster #adopt #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #wecantdowhatwedowithoutyou #alwaysspayandneuteryourpets #spay #neuter #helpr4akeepthelivingalive #spokanedogs #Rescue4All #Rescue4Life #LetsSaveSomeDogs 🐾 🐾 #rescuedog #rescue #foster #adopt #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #wecantdowhatwedowithoutyou #alwaysspayandneuteryourpets #spay #neuter #helpr4akeepthelivingalive #spokanedogs

Cutest little Mount Taya climbing adventurer around!!!! This little Brave kitten came to us from a Rescue4All adopter who found him at 4 weeks old …all alone…he was terrified and stressed. He was in full fight mode weighing in a 1 whole pound. He tried his best to be a scary wild hissing slashing machine but quickly his façade melted and let’s just say he may have charmed his way into my heart. He’s one hell of a special little dude. 😍 Taya is my personal R4A dog who is an integral part of Rescue4All and came to us 4 years ago heavily pregnant. She is smarter than me and she made it clear that here is where she belongs. Over the years she has become my evaluator/helper dog (Weston got sick of the role at 12yrs old), an amazing Northern Breed Ambassador, & a surrogate mom to puppies and kittens. We currently have Thea a momma cat plus 4 of her kittens, plus 4 kittens here available for adoption…pictures at the end of this video ❤️ All our kitties MUST be indoor cats, they must be part of your family, and before adoption they are spayed/neutered, microchipped, have had deworming treatments, and are vaccinated (FELV & Rabies) according to their age. If you’re interested please head over to our website www.rescue4all.org and fill out a Cat Adoption Application.
