Saving animals has been in my heart and soul since I was a little girl. I don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing if 16 years ago I didn’t have to start over and figure out what truly matters.

In 2009 I was a completely different person. I had a lucrative career was in sales. Money mattered more than morals and being a shallow materialistic person was accepted because that was the environment that I was in and around.

Then the economy crashed, I lost my job and I virtually lost everything that I thought mattered, at that time.

I was unemployed for the first time in my life and jobs were scarce….so I started volunteering at a local shelter, and the universe helped me transform virtually every aspect of my life, and truly see what matters.

Today I live for our R4A dogs and the only thing that matters is helping them & improving their lives.

Do you notice the ridiculously cute rescue dogs?

OR

Do you notice the most accurate license plate you’ve ever seen?

Today Husky, Eclipse, Titan, Trooper, and Taya came with me to pick up our biweekly food order for the rescue at The Urban Canine

Every two weeks we pick up our standing order of 50 bags of NutriSource which costs us roughly $2,500 every two weeks to feed the 60+ dogs we currently have at the Refuge.

It’s not cheap running a rescue and our number one priority is making sure that our R4A dogs are fed the best food we can afford to feed them ❤️

That’s all possible because of UC and because of people just like you who donate to feed these cute passengers of mine

Saying the final “I’ll see you later” to your elderly soul dog hits you like a ton of bricks when you wake up the next day and……all of your daily caretaking from feeding, to medication, to those slow motion walks down a few houses and back with your furry best man because that’s all his once spry body could do…that empty time and space next to you is some times unbearable.

And in those overwhelming times of loss, heartbreak, and the deafening silience of a too quite house…

I am so honored to be able to help an amazing friend and R4A adopter a few hours of respite by being surrounded by our foster dogs.

For a time the loss of the bestest dog was put on hold and these dogs were able to help heal a little of her broken heart.

Our dogs are medicine.
The refuge is magic.

Please try to remember everyone is going through something…so be kind, offer what you can, and know that there are people who absolutely understand that losing a love one…no matter if they are human or covered in fur…the heart breaks just the same.

It’s such a scary time in general for nonprofits, but especially for rescues like us who are solely funded by public donations from people just like you.

Most of our monthly donors give $5 to $25 dollars and those smaller amounts add up and those individual donors are literally who keep our 60+ foster dogs fed and the Refuge alive.

Small donors are powerful when they are combined but with the state of the economy, donations have been slowing down.

People are struggling to afford their own basic living expenses and don’t have the ability to donate to the causes that are important to them.

Many of our donors have reached out saying they feel awful about not being able to give more, having lessen their donation, or having to pause their contributions completely because of the current state of the economy; but the truth is they shouldn’t feel guilty for having to prioritize things to survive.

Our R4A community is incredible and I want every one of you to know I appreciate you, your support, and am unbelievably grateful for any amount that you are able to share to help our dogs.

My life motto: surround yourself with dogs and the people who make them a priority. After 16 years of volunteering, fostering, and 12 years of operating R4A that’s how I choose who I let in. Dogs show you who people really are. Kind people don’t walk away. They show up. They help. They stay. The best people I know are the ones who rescue, foster, donate, and give when no one’s watching. They get dirty. They lose sleep. They care anyway. When you find those people, keep them close. If you don’t have any yet, start where the dogs are and welcome to Rescue4All 🫶

Austin has been in foster with us since 2021.

He was originally from Texas and were transported to a rescue on the west side of WA state.

That Rescue unfortunately did not have the ability to keep him so they reached out and asked if local shelter would accept him as transfers.

The shelter agreed but unfortunately that rescue was not honest and did not disclose that he was heartworm positive. 😖

The shelter reached out to R4A and asked if we would take him and get him heartworm treatment and we, of course, said yes.

He was a medical transfer to us and started treatment for heartworm which is approximately 120+ days and is risky and it is also expensive.

He was on strict crate rest for all of those days but it was all worth it because he has been heat worm free ever since!

Austin came to us at 12 months old and he will be 5 in January.

He has been waiting for 4 years waiting for his forever family.

Please like, comment, share, repost, and help find his adopters ❤️

Every bark here used to be a cry for help.

They came broken.

Their people did want them anymore & quickly forgot them…but we didn’t.

Now they walk together… loved, wanted, and thriving!

Every tail wag, every mile we walk, every calm breath, every happy dog here exists because people like you keep the Refuge running.
