Guardians of Rescue

We are a non-profit organization whose members work tirelessly to protect the well-being of animals. This program is a very important aspect of our mission.

Programs

Our programs are designed to provide assistance in a broad range of scenarios, to provide needed assistance, to educate, to motivate, and to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Give me Shelter

This program works to ensure that all animals are provided with proper protection from the elements. The program’s initiatives include volunteers patrolling for animals in situatio

ns without proper protection and adequate food and water, workshops on shelter construction, gathering supplies, and mass shelter assembly days. Guardians of Rescue will be providing shelters free of charge to any and all dogs and cats in need. With this program, we will be joining forces with numerous organizations including organized labor, law enforcement and fellow animal welfare groups in order to maximize the resources needed to assist animals in need. Helping Families:

This program is designed to keep families together. It provides pet food and supplies to anyone in need due to a catastrophic event, or to families in need due to economic reasons. Home Again: Operation Support Our Troops

This program is a part of our Veterans and Military Affairs efforts, assisting returning service men and women in adopting a dog or cat from an animal shelter when they return home or bringing back a pet rescued during their deployment. Guardians of Rescue volunteers act as a special shelter liaison, helping with selection, completion of the adoption process, and training for both the animal and owner. We assist with the logistics of getting a pet home from the area where the service men and women are deployed, and making sure the animal adapts to US life, by providing whatever training is needed. Many men and women in the service are also faced with the dilemma of pet care when deployed on active duty, and are often stuck with no positive alternatives. Animals they adopt while on deployment are in need of safe transport home, and this can be difficult to organize. The therapeutic benefit these animals provide is immeasurable, and these men and women need our support. Next Generation Guardians: Humane Education
The Next Generation Guardians are a group of young people from all walks of life. Their goal is to “learn the ropes” of animal rescue, and be the change for our future. It is presented at public middle schools, high schools, Boy & Girl Scout troops, vocational schools and residential facilities for at risk youth. This program encompasses a number of animal welfare related topics, such as:

• How to recognize the signs of animal abuse and neglect, and how to report it in the proper manner.
• How to fight animal abuse and help defend creatures that cannot themselves.
• Why dog fighting is wrong and morally reprehensible and why it cannot be tolerated. To further the impact of our Humane Education program and further empower students, Guardians of Rescue works with schools and school districts to organize food and supply drives to benefit their local shelters, and assist them with our “Sponsor a Shelter Pet” initiative. Help us Help Them! If you want to volunteer for any of these programs, please complete an application on our website at guardiansofrescue.org. TOGETHER we can save them!

𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐒' 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃

Guardians Of Rescue answered the call from Law Enforcement to help remove six dogs who had been dumped on a rural property in Kentucky.

The man who lives on the property knew he could not take care of so many dogs, and he made the responsible decision to surrender all of them to Guardians .

This thoughtful act ensures the dogs will receive the necessary medical attention, proper nutrition, and ultimately, find loving homes where they can thrive.

One of the dogs on the property, Chance, was deemed highly aggressive, but once our team met Chance they knew this was only fear, and that he was reacting in pain from the fly strike on his ears.

We will keep you updated on this case and Chance's progress over the next few days !

Can you help?

In the sweltering heat, neglected and care-deprived dogs often seek relief from the pain of thirst by drinking from any available water source, regardless of its quality.

Muddy, stagnant water becomes an unfortunate oasis for these animals, desperate to hydrate themselves. However, this drinking comes with consequences, as such water is often teeming with bacteria and parasites, posing serious health risks.

Adding to their distress, the heat and humidity create a breeding ground for fleas and ticks, which latch onto the dogs, causing further irritation and potential disease transmission.

Pictured is Ella, one of the senior dogs from a current case, being cared for by Guardians and treated for her ailments caused by her terrible prior neglect in a hoarding situation.

These dogs are safe now but there are others still suffering that we will be helping, and we really need your support.

All donations add up to new lives for the animals you have helped Guardians to rescue—can you imagine if every person reading this gave $5—or $1— how many animals that would help?

If you are able, www.guardiansofrescue.org/donate

Thank you for being there when they need us,

Our boy Phoenix, found in bad shape abandoned in a gas station, is still healing, but he's feeling much better and enjoying learning.

He might have jumped the gun a little on "Come!", but we're glad he's that happy and excited.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to his recovery!

Our Guardians Team got to visit with Phoenix ! We thought you'd enjoy some photos of our recovering buddy—

We've told you previously about Phoenix, who was found abandoned at a local gas station, his body a map of neglected damage.

Although he is still pretty sore from all his old wounds, he is doing well, and receiving lots of love as he heals.

Phoenix still needs lots of help to recover from his neglected past, and we still need help with his medical expenses.

If you can chip in—any amount—it will add up to a new healthy and happy Phoenix, ready to forget his old painful life and begin a great new one.

You can help here: www.guardiansofrescue.org/donate

Thanks for being there for our boy Phoenix, he's a great and brave guy.

Your donation, no matter the size, can make a life-saving difference for these poor victims.

Please, donate today and help us give these innocent creatures a second chance at a healthy, happy life. Every dollar counts towards food, treatment, and care. We want to get them all feeling better as fast as possible!

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒!

And we could use your help—

It's kitten season, and the calls for abandoned kittens have not stopped.

Every day brings a new wave of abandoned kittens – some left in boxes by the roadside, others found shivering under bushes.

Our team has the unwavering desire to give these little ones a fighting chance, but we need your help to continue to save these innocent lives.

The need is relentless, the work is never-ending. Feeding schedules every few hours, endless loads of laundry, and the constant worry about illnesses spreading like wildfire. We bottle-feed the newborns, teach the older ones to eat solid food, and medicate those with sniffles and coughs. Each kitten has its own personality, its own story etched in its wide, innocent eyes.

Despite the exhaustion and heartbreak, there are moments of pure joy. Watching a sickly kitten gain weight and start to play, seeing a scared kitten finally trust a human hand, and the ultimate reward: finding loving forever homes for these vulnerable creatures. It's a constant battle, but one we fight with every ounce of our energy, driven by the belief that every kitten deserves a chance to live a happy, healthy life.

Here is our kitten wishlist, if you want to be a part of this life-saving mission and help the new crop of babies get on the road to happy lives. It feels good to help these sweet little kitty newcomers!

We previously told you about little Sissy, the sole surviving dog in a criminal neglect and hoarding case in Eastern Kentucky. Rescued by our team along with 14 cats, she and the other animals had been struggling to survive in extreme conditions.

Sissy had known nothing but the dim, toxic and cramped confines of the hoarding house. Surrounded by countless other suffering animals, she'd learned to scavenge for scraps and hide in the shadows. When the rescuers finally arrived, Sissy was terrified, but a gentle hand reached for her, and she was held with love for the first time.

There was no time to waste—we rushed Sissy to the emergency vet, and she was admitted for life saving treatment —she was so dehydrated she was in severe pain, and she was so weak she could not even walk.

Now, our Guardians fosters are making Sissy feel safe, with a quiet reassurance that she'd never known.

Our Team is showing her that the world isn't always a scary place, and that even a hopeless dog from a hoarding house can find love and happiness.

Guardians recently was called into a serious hoarding situation which had spiraled out of control.

As our Guardians team ventured into the squalid house, what they found broke their already-anxious hearts—a multitude of animals living in almost-unbelievably bad conditions,

And there, amidst the clutter and chaos, a group of five abandoned kittens struggled to survive—the little kittens huddled together, seeking warmth and comfort from each other, all they had in the world. Born into neglect, their tiny bodies were frail, their eyes infected and clouded with fear.

But little did they know, hope had arrived. The Guardians rescuers carefully and gently gathered the kittens, their calm touch offering reassurance to the worried babies.

When we found them, they were malnourished and riddled with parasites, but the kittens are recovering and receiving the medical care they desperately need,

We will keep you updated on the kittens' progress, but we need your help to pay for their treatments and care until they are ready to begin new happy lives.. Please consider helping The Guardians Five today. No donation is too small, they are all important and very appreciated.

In a heartbreaking discovery, a dog we are now calling Phoenix was found abandoned at a local gas station, his body bearing the harsh marks of neglect.

Open wounds and a seeping infection painted a grim picture of the suffering he had endured. The sight of the helpless animal stirred the hearts of those who found him, and immediate action was taken to bring him relief.

Thanks to the swift response of Lora, who is a part of our volunteer emergency response team, Phoenix is now under the care of veterinarians. He is receiving the critical treatment needed to address his wounds and combat the infection that has taken hold. The dedicated medical staff are working tirelessly to stabilize his condition and ease his pain, offering him a chance at recovery and a future free from suffering.

While the road to recovery may be long, there is hope that this resilient canine will heal, both physically and emotionally. The rescue team is committed to providing Phoenix with the love, care, and support he needs to regain his strength and rediscover the joy of life.

Sweet Sissy is the sole surviving dog in a criminal neglect and hoarding case underway in Eastern Kentucky. Rescued by our team along with 14 cats, the animals were fighting to survive in extreme conditions.

It was difficult to see that Sissy was even a dog when she was rescued - her coat was so filthy and matted with urine and f***s. She is in critical condition and was rushed for emergency medical care to treat a raging infection throughout her whole frail body. She is also receiving treatment for anemia, dehydration, flea infestation, and severe urine scald as a result of extensive neglect.

With your compassionate support behind her, she is being given every chance possible to overcome the burden on her exhausted, hurting body.

Thankfully we could take action for Sissy and the surviving cats, because they wouldn't have made it much longer. We can only do it with your help.
