Im going to start off by saying. I am not closely following the case, so I can not comment on its progress at this time.

Now that is out of the way. Id like to formally introduce everyone to the momma in the "shoebox puppy" case.

🥁..... Welcome Peaches!!🍑

Peaches was turned over to our care during the earlier days of investigation. She is very young at only a 1 1/2 years old and it was incredibly clear that she had no idea how to safely raise her puppies.
Luckily for Peachy, we do! After only 12ish hours of supervised visitation Peaches lept into her role of "Mom" with all four paws. Since that moment she has been relaxing into her foster home. We have watched the sparkle return to her eyes, and with it an amazing personality. We just know she is going to thrive from here on out!

Peaches will not be ready for adoption for at least 12 more weeks. Her health and the babies take priority until then.
BUT we did want to update the dozens of adoring fans who donated to her perfect puppies. Without your support we couldn't take in others like Peaches and her babies ❤️

Holy donations batman!

I want to thank our amazing community members who have donated to the care of our orphans. Fauquier SPCA has been making sure they receive only the best medical care possible!

As per their post, there are no updates as of yet. The sherriffs department is taking this situation seriously and I hope they will be able to answer many of your questions soon. So for now, we wait patiently.

That being said, we are switching our focus to getting our current shelter residents adopted. We have several wonderful dogs who would love some of the spotlight. Please check out their page for information on how to continue helping our homless pets.

Please! If you know something speak up. Our fosters are working hard to keep these babies thriving. But we'd love to find momma ASAP!

Doggie Doula and Foster Care and another special foster momma are keeping these babies warm and fed. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Here is an updated wish list for our newest guests.

We are also looking for anyone who may have goats milk or colostrum for sale. These poor babies barely even got to smell momma before being thrown away.

Ozzy has arrived!! Stay tuned for an official introduction on this awesome boy

Not quite a week post OP. And Gunner is being a pretty great patient so far. But this puppy is definitely getting stirr-crazy with his crate rest.
So tonight we let him and Lissa have a small play session before bed.

Hopefully, only a few more weeks and Gunner can play freely again. We can't wait for him to be healed up, and headed to his forever home 💙

Gunner made it through surgery!! And things are looking up. He will have some pins holding the bones steady for a while. But all hardware will be able to be removed post healing!
That means Gunner wont be setting off the metal detectors forever 🤣 it also means that his healing process should go smoothly, pending he follows Dr's orders and stays off his feet.

We are still trying to cover the last $1500-$2000 of his bill. So please keep those amazing donations coming. No amount is too small! Every share also helps, spread the word about these awesome rescues, just trying to save animals lives. 🖤

Good morning everyone!
Today's the day!! Gunners leg repair will be performed this afternoon 🎊

We want to thank everyone who has supported this mission! Too many times rescues have to resort to amputation, simply because the cost of repair is so much higher. You have helped us raise just over $3000!
But we can't stop there! I know we can raise the last $2000 to cover this surgery cost.

Our rescue groups will never stop fighting for these loving pets. Its because of the generosity and support that all of you share with us, that we can help dogs like Gunner.
So thank you! Please keep sharing Gunners fundraiser. No contribution is too small 🖤

*911 FUNDRAISING ALERT!*

First I would like to thank all of our amazing supporters who have donated so far! We have raised $2500 towards our goal. Thats half way!!

Gunners surgery is scheduled for Sept 2nd. We are desperately trying to raise the other half, so this beautiful puppy can keep his leg! Please share far and wide!

**Id like to highlight something pretty awesome about this journey so far. I have been involved in rescue and rehabilitation for over a decade. One of the uglier sides of this world, is how possessive and territorial individuals can be over animals and funds.
This is the FIRST situation where I have had not one but 2 other rescues step up to the plate and offer help with no strings attached. No arguments, just one united goal of helping a puppy thrive again. Its been a pretty amazing experience!** Forever Changed Animal Rescue is just like me. A smaller nonprofit, trying to save the lives of innocent animals. Without hesitation they helped me get Gunner seen by one of their vets and then took over "custody" of him, while leaving him in my foster care.
Here is where the beautiful side of Dog Showing side stepped in. I was introduced to the present of Atlantic GSP Rescue through a show handler I followed after helping deliver a litter of Foxhounds. This amazing woman donated some of her own funds and is waiting in the sidelines for further assistance. Once again..... no strings, no arguments, just love and healing. Kris Eckard and Faith Fields thank you again for being amazing individuals.

Now back to Gunner! He has been an excellent paitent so far. He desperately wants to play with his new house mates. But is sticking to leash walking nicely. He is in happy spirits and knows we're here to help.
Too many times rescues have to resort to amputation over repair. The cost is much higher to fix the leg and resources today are scarce! Please help us raise the other half of his surgery cost, so we can save Gunner's leg!

911!! We are trying to save this 7mo GSP puppies broken leg!

Forever Changed Animal Rescue and I are partnering up to save this sweet puppy.

Gunner is a very sweet young dog who had a fall down a set of stairs. His previous owners could not afford the surgery to repair his femur and we were asked to take Gunner into our rescue.

Due to his young age we were hoping to avoid amputation but the surgical cost to repair his leg will require some fund-raising. We are hoping to raise roughly $6000 to cover post surgery rehab also!

Please go to https://www.facebook.com/share/15pyMeWbfg/ for donation directly to his new rescue!

ADOPTION PENDING

Well folks. We have some disappointing news. Formerly known as Bruce, now Gus has been returned to our care.
Now let me start off by saying his previous adopters did not give up on him. Gus spent 6 weeks at Muddy and Co. Puppy academy and they exhausted all options to better him and tame his anxiety. Unfortunately the first dog in the home made it very clear that he was not ready to share his family. So for everyone's safety, Gus is now looking for another chance at love.

Here's a little back story on this handsome sweetheart. Gus/Bruce grew up in our kennel system. Many breeds such as hounds do not handle kennel life well. Gus was no exception and developed some pretty serious kennel anxiety. His team of caretakers begged for options to help him, and reached out for help with training and foster care. This is where we came in. We chipped away at his broken exterior and found a pretty wonderful boy underneath the surface.

Today Gus is delightful to work with. He checks every single box. Cat, Dog, and kid social. Honestly he would probably let the burglar in your home and lead them straight to the cookie jar 🤣
Gus also is wonderful around our working show horse farm. He can be trusted with animals of all sizes and even stays on the property (when supervised)
Jeff Nani put 6 weeks of incredible training and rehabilitation of his mind. Because of this Gus is now beautifully crate trained as well as many other basic commands. Jeff has generously offered to stand by Gus through his journey to happiness. He is available for advice and refreshers through all of Gus' future transitions.

We hope that this will be the last time Gus is offered to the public for adoption. He deserves his own kid, and a bed to call home. Please reach out to Fauquier SPCA if you would like to apply to adopt Gus!
