Clover has been decompressing and learning how to be a dog in her foster home. We are incredibly grateful to her foster family for their dedication, effort and commitment to Clover.

Even though Clover is only about 1- 1.5 years, she has only experienced abuse and cruelty in her short life.

Initially, Clover and her siblings were being given away at a Walmart parking lot by abusers who said they were going to shoot the puppies if they weren't gone by the end of the afternoon.

Unfortunately, Clover then ended up living with someone who chained her 24/7 outside with a muzzle on her face. She was only a small puppy!

Then Clover was "saved" from the life on the chain, only to end up with someone who almost starved to death.

We had a split second chance to rescue her at the end at September, and we did, to end the cruelty and abuse she had endured. Even though humans have tried to destroy and kill her, she only wants love and affection.

Clover is a high energy dog. Her foster family makes sure she gets the exercise she needs by walking her miles every day, even with her parents working full time. Clover eats 6 cups a day (2 cups three times daily) which means one bag (24lbs) of her dog food only lasts 16 days.

For the holidays, Clover could really use food and treats please. We have also added some toys to her Chewy wishlist, but the food and treats are the priority. We would be very grateful and Clover sends many thanks! Thank you!

Lilly had a walk by the water over the weekend and contemplated the fact that this is the second holiday season that she is homeless, and furthermore that 2025 will mark 10 years since we rescued her the first time! Yep, we first rescued her a whole decade ago!

We had originally adopted out Lilly in 2015. And 8-years later, in October 2023, Lilly was returned to us for being sprayed by a skunk! Just when you think the excuses for dumping dogs cannot get worse, it does. Humans are the dangerous animals.

You would think that after 8 years the people would love, and be bonded, to Lilly, but you would think wrong.

It was immediately clear Lilly had major medical conditions. She was trying to chew her limbs off. She was regurgitating her food. The previous “adopters” had ignored all of this.

Since she has been back with us, Lilly is under the care of a board-certified dermatologist and a board-certified internal medicine specialist. She had an endoscopy with biopsies which were positive for GERD and IBD.

Lilly takes meds for her allergies, IBD and GERD and her symptoms are managed.

Lilly is looking for her forever home. She is around 11 years, though she acts much younger. She is great with male and female dogs. She is very sweet, affectionate and loving. She is calm and has perfect house manners. She likes to sleep in in the mornings. Thank you!

Kane celebrated his two-year Adoptaversy! Congrats, Kane!

Kane is such an amazing dog - super loving, affectionate and loves to cuddle! He enjoys walks and owns state-of-the art winter coats.

Kane's first years of life were bad, but now he is living the life every rescue dog dreams about with his amazing moms. Kane is loved, adored and spoiled! He lives the life of a king!

Kane's moms designed our posters and graphics for our "Free Spay / Neuter Day for Pit Bulls". The posters look amazing and we are very grateful!

This is the surprised face Rocky (fka Old Man) made when he heard that soon a big bearded man will be coming down the chimney to give him even more toys, to add to his already impressive toy collection that his forever mom got him.

Rocky, going on 11-years, is precious beyond words. He is a gem, and a light and gift to humanity. The entire world should have been lining up to adopt him, as he is a unicorn of a dog. He loves all humans (including the tea-cup ones). He has a miniature canine sister and a team of feline siblings as well. He is PERFECT!!! He is loving, sweet and adorable!

Rocky's vet bills were $10,000 and he is worth every cent. He is, in fact, priceless. And the fact he will live the rest of his life being loved, cherished and spoiled is priceless. Please adopt the seniors! They are truly the very best dogs!

Thank you to everyone who donated for Rocky's medical care!

Lilly sends many thank to the kind human who sent her a bag of Pill Pockets. One of these bags lasts her 10 days.

Lilly takes meds for her GERD, IBD and allergies. All the meds are hidden in Pill Pockets so she is very grateful for these!

Lilly is sad to be spending her second holiday season as a homeless dog, but she has not given up hope. She is sweet, easy-going, loves humans (including the tea-cup ones), and is great with female and male dogs! She loves to sleep in and has perfect house manners.

*** Today is Giving Tuesday! ***

Please help us save lives! This is the only way to end the killing of pitties in shelters.

This family came all the way from PA. The dogs are mother, father and son. There had already been three litters, because even though the humans tried to keep the female in heat apart from the male, male dogs will dig though doors and walls to get to a female in heat. The humans were so relieved that we could sterlise all 3 dogs, so they would never have to worry about unwanted litters again. This is why spay/neuter is so important!

Please take a minute to watch this video.

Millions of pit bulls are killed every year in shelters. These are loving and perfect family pets who are murdered en masse because shelters are bursting at the seams, and hundreds of new dogs arrive every day. The US is the ONLY developed country where this happens.

There have never been more rescue groups in existence, pulling record numbers of dogs from shelters, yet the amount of dogs killed has skyrocketed. The rescue world is failing in the way it operates. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

Spay / neuter is the ONLY solution to reducing the number of dogs abandoned, and killed, at shelters.

We have spayed / neutered 87 pit bulls in the last 7 months.

We would like to fix another 13 dogs before year-end, to hit our goal of 100 spay / neuter surgeries.

Please consider donating for Giving Tuesday and help us raise $6,500 so we can spay/neuter 13 dogs. You will literally be saving thousands of lives! Please be part of the solution!

We are thankful that Clover is experiencing what it is like to be a loved dog in her foster home. She enjoys walks, lots of toys, a full belly and warm beds for the first time in her life.

Even though Clover is only about 1- 1.5 years, she has only experienced abuse and cruelty in her short life.

Initially, Clover and her siblings were being given away at a Walmart parking lot by some abusers who said they were going to shoot the puppies if they weren't gone by the end of the afternoon.

Unfortunately, Clover then ended up living with someone who chained her 24/7 outside with a muzzle on her face. Who thinks it is acceptable to treat any dog like that, let alone a small puppy? So many vile animal abusers out there.

Then Clover was "saved" from the life on the chain only to end up with someone who almost starved to death.

We had a split second chance to rescue her at the end at September, and we did, to end the cruelty and abuse she had endured. Now she is experiencing love and care, thanks to her foster family.

We are very thankful, that thanks to generous donors, we have spayed / neutered 87 owned pit bulls this year, all 100% free to the dogs' owners.

Spay / neuter is the only way to reduce the amount of pit bulls dumped, and killed, at shelters. Just one unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in only six years!

If you are not passionate, or excited, about spay/neuter, it is time to change that. Spaying and neutering saves lives!

We would like to hit 100 spay / neuter surgeries by year-end. Giving Tuesday is coming up and our aim it so raise raise $6500, which will allow us to do 13 surgeries, and hit out goal of fixing 100 dogs!

This is a lot of money for us to raise so we are starting the fundraising now. Please consider being part of the solution and help us save lives:

🎉 Giving Tuesday is December 3rd 🎉

So far this year we have spayed / neutered 87 pit bulls, toally free of charge to the dogs' owners. Our goal is to fix 100 dogs before year end!

On Giving Tuesday, we are asking you to please help us raise $6500, which will allow us to hold another "Free Spay / Neuter Day For Pit Bulls" and fix another 13 dogs, to bring the total to 100!

The shelter / rescue world is in an existential crisis. Thing have not been this bad for 50 years or more. It is very clear we can not rescue and adopt our way out of the current mass slaughter of pit bulls happening every day. We have to focus on the source of the problem and fix as many pit bulls as possible.

Please consider foregoing exchanging presents this year and donate to spay and neuter. Maybe you can hold a bake sale, or tag sale, or a coffee meet up with friends.

By spaying and neutering we save thousands of lives now, and for years to come.

We have included some pics of the 87 dogs we fixed so far this year.

Lilly sends thanks and hugs to the kind human who sent her a bag of dog food.

Lilly now has a total of 3 bags, which will keep her belly full for awhile. Thank you so much! We are very grateful.

Lilly would love to have a forever home for the holidays. She is great with female and male dogs. She loves all humans, including the tea-cup ones. She is sweet, loving and easy-going. Lilly enjoys walks and sunbathing.

Lilly was returned to us after 8-years for being sprayed by a skunk!
