This is how we fight the root cause of animal suffering and abandonment.

Adoptions can not fix the crisis. Millions of dogs are slaughtered every year. We need to go upstream — and prevent the suffering before it begins. That means spaying and neutering.

Let’s fix the problem at its source — one dog at a time.

Prevent the suffering. Prevent the overpopulation. Prevent the deaths.

Spay and Neuter. Always.

Samson and Lilly

Senior duo Samson and Lilly are still waiting for their forever homes. In the meantime, they could really use some help with essentials — especially food and their daily supplements, which they are running low on.

Samson is 13½ years old and uses p*e pads regularly. We have done a full medical work-up, and there’s no underlying health issue — this seems to just be part of his routine at his age. P*e pads are simply part of Samson's daily life, and we're committed to meeting his needs with love and care.

If you would like to support Samson and Lilly while they wait for their forever families, please check out their wishlist here:

Jessica is Adopted! 💖

Yesterday marked the first day of the rest of Jessica’s life—in her furever home!

Jessica is now going to be loved, spoiled, and cherished every single day. This sweet little dumpling adores being close to her humans and soaking up all the affection she can get. If she feels she is not getting enough attention, she will cry like a baby seal to let you know! She's a cuddle bug, a snuggle expert, and gives the softest little nibble kisses.

It’s heartbreaking to think that a dog this special was once at risk of being killed at an overcrowded shelter, where new dogs arrive daily. Sadly, that's the reality for millions of dogs across the country— killed simply because shelters are overwhelmed and need to make space.

We are endlessly grateful to Jessica’s adopters, who have shown such incredible patience and love. They offered to adopt her months ago when she was still in a southern shelter, based solely on her photo and her story. After meeting her in person when she arrived, they patiently waited while we addressed her medical needs.

Jessica’s recovery took longer than expected, as she was battling an antibiotic-resistant e-coli urinary tract infection that took months of treatment to resolve. But now, she’s healthy, happy, and home.

Jessica will even be going to work with her mom—perfect for Jessica, who always wants to be part of the action and as close to her humans as possible.

We could not be happier for this sweet girl and her amazing new family. 💕

Here’s to a life filled with love, comfort, and endless cuddles, Jessica!

Jessica Is Ready for Her Big Day!

Jessica is getting adopted tomorrow, and today she had her final vet visit for a nail trim—she’s officially ready to put her best paw forward!

After months of battling a stubborn, antibiotic-resistant E. coli urinary tract infection (UTI), Jessica finally received the news we have all been hoping for: the infection is gone!

Her journey wasn’t easy. She was first treated with Clavamox for two weeks, but it had no effect. Then came a six-week course of Baytril, which thankfully worked. E. coli infections can be incredibly hard to treat and, if left unchecked, cause serious complications: kidney damage, kidney failure, and then death.

The total cost for her UTI treatment—including four urinalysis and medications - came to over $2,000.

On top of that, Jessica had dental surgery to extract 12 teeth, full blood work, heartworm testing (negative!), and deworming treatments with Drontal Plus and Panacur to eliminate hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm. She is now on regular flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

We have spared no effort to make sure Jessica is happy, healthy, and ready for her forever home — but her medical care has been expensive. If you are able to help us cover some of Jessica’s expenses, we would be deeply grateful.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

A Few More Pics From Our “Free Spay & Neuter Day for Pit Bulls” 🐾

We are so grateful to everyone who made yesterday possible.

A huge thank-you to for performing the surgeries. Events like these require a tremendous amount of work and coordination, and their A+ team — from the front desk to the surgical staff — handled it all with compassion and professionalism.

Endless appreciation to our incredible volunteers who were up at the crack of dawn to manage check-in and take pics.

The only long-term solution is prevention. No amount of free or discounted adoptions can stem the tide of unwanted dogs. We must go upstream and stop the suffering before it starts — and that means spay and neuter. Plain and simple.

The animal welfare world is facing an unprecedented crisis. Shelters are overwhelmed. Dogs are being abandoned, dumped, and euthanized at devastating rates. Adoptions are at record lows.

We must be brave enough to admit the old ways are not working. It’s time to evolve.

It is not about more fosters.
It is not about more adoptions.
The root solution is mass spay and neuter.

Let’s focus our efforts where they will have the greatest impact — prevention.

Done and Dusted!

Another successful "Free Spay & Neuter Day for Pit Bulls" is in the books!

All the pups were sent off with pain meds and cones to help them recover comfortably. They will be taking it easy for the next 14 days before getting back to their regular routines.

Huge thanks to our AMAZING sponsors:
❤ Ari Lewis – Sponsored 10 surgeries
❤ The Rosenstiel Foundation – Sponsored 2 surgeries

Since April 2024, we have now spayed / neutered 158 dogs — and that number represents real impact. This work tackles the root cause of the shelter and rescue crisis: overpopulation.

No number of free or low-cost adoptions can stem the ongoing flood of unwanted, abandoned dogs. Prevention is the only long-term solution.

Wherever you are, please get involved. We are always happy to share info about our program and help you set up your own.

Let’s fix the problem at its source — one dog at a time. 🐾

Prevent the suffering. Prevent the overpopulation. Prevent the deaths.

Spay and neuter. Always.

Jessica’s Medical Journey – Help Needed

After months of battling a stubborn, antibiotic-resistant E. coli urinary tract infection (UTI), Jessica finally received some good news.

Initially, she was treated with Clavamox for two weeks, but it had no effect. After that, she went through a six-week course of Baytril, which thankfully worked. E. coli infections can be incredibly difficult to treat and, if left unchecked, can lead to serious complications like kidney damage, kidney failure, and the death of the dog.

Jessica recently returned to the vet for a sterile urine collection (via cystocentesis), and the sample was sent to the lab for a culture. The results confirmed what we had hoped for: the E. coli infection is finally gone! The test cost $409, which has been added to our growing veterinary debt.

This was her fourth urinalysis, and with the Clavamox, Baytril, the total cost of addressing her UTI alone has exceeded $2,000.

While fighting the UTI, Jessica also unwent dental surgery, including the extraction of 12 teeth. She has had full blood work, tested negative for heartworm, and was treated with Drontal Plus and Panacur for hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm. She is now on regular flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

We have done everything we can to give Jessica the best care possible, but her medical expenses have added significantly to our debt. If you’re able to contribute anything toward her bills, we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you so much for your support and kindness.

🚨 Emergency Funds Needed for Mia’s Life-Saving Spay / Abort Surgery

Mia came into our care Thursday 6/12. We had no idea she was pregnant. With her already compromised health due to hookworms and heartworm, Mia required a specialized surgeon to perform the spay / abort procedure.

This emergency surgery came at a massive cost: $4,328, even after our 50% rescue discount.

We have no regular funding. No monthly donors. We are the only organization offering free spay/neuter for owned pit bulls, and while that service helps reduce overpopulation, we receive little support for the dogs in our direct care.

We are desperate. We are exhausted. And we need your help.

If you can donate—even a small amount—it will go directly toward saving Mia. If you can’t give, please share this. Every bit of awareness matters right now.

Thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult time. 💔

Mia is resting at her foster home after her emergency spay / abort surgery.

Mia is like a different dog. Before the surgery, she was scared, timid, frightened, and would not walk. Now she is happy, confident, and lively. The pregnancy was killing her physically, mentally and emotionally.

We have had a total of 9 people donate towards her medical care and we are deeply grateful to those 9 individuals. However this emergency came at a massive cost: $4,328, even after our 50% rescue discount. We have a long way to go to pay our bills.

We were already in debt and this added to it. If we cannot raise this money, we will be forced to shut down—not only ending our rescue work but also permanently closing the ONLY Free Spay & Neuter Clinic for Pit Bulls in the northeast. This would be a devastating loss, not just for our dogs, but for the entire community.

We have no regular funding. No monthly donors. We are the ONLY organization offering free spay/neuter for owned pit bulls, and while that service helps reduce overpopulation, we receive little support for the dogs in our direct care.

We are desperate. We are exhausted. And we need your help.

If you can donate—even a small amount – it will go directly toward saving Mia. If you can’t give, please share this post. Every bit of awareness matters right now.
