That's all they are is furry toddlers

Every year, the days leading up to and following the 4th of July, shelters everywhere fill up with animals frightened by fireworks.

While I honestly wish fireworks were never used, that's something that will never happen.

Currently, many shelters are at maximum capacity and there's no room to house anymore animals. While some shelters claim to be "no kill", don't be fooled, EVERY shelter has to make difficult decisions.

Please....beginning July 1st, put a phone number on your pet. You don't have to spend any money. Grab some tape duct tape works great and a sharpie or a ink pen and make the minimal effort to keep your pet from ending up at a shelter.

Even if you think there's no way they can or will escape your property, just do it.

If you love your pet(s) it's your job to protect them.

Finding a stray animal with a phone number makes it SO SIMPLE to reunite them with their owner.

Let's make a difference this holiday and keep animals from ending up at the shelter.

Please spay/neuter your pets.
We are drowning in homeless pets😔

I need your prayers, please. Here at the sanctuary over the last 20yrs dogs that don't get adopted have spent anywhere from 3-12 yrs here before passing or having to be euthanized. Fortunately at some points I've went 5yrs without having to make that selfless decision to euthanize. Ive had multiple senior dogs for awhile now but, sadly, within the last month I've had to euthanize 3 dogs. Buster, Duke and Tiger may you all rest in peace, be pain free and enjoy all the treats you could ever want. Oh, and Tiger may you have the biggest swimming pool to swim in, baby. This has really taken a toll on me emotionally which in turn has really effected me physically so again if you could say a little prayer I'd really appreciate it. After I have a little time I'm going to share a proper post for all of them to share their beautiful personalities and memories. If anyone would like to pay on their vet bills we now have a balance at Large Animal Services 334-222-2841 and Brewton Animal Hospital 251-867-4355 under The Pit Stop Sanctuary/Amanda Morton. All donations are tax deductible and receipts are available upon request. Thank you to all of our supporters.

They Took Her Puppies and Left Her to Die 💔

She stands on shaky legs, eyes swollen shut from infection, her body nothing but skin, bone, and healing wounds. And yet… her tail gives a soft wag when someone approaches. Maura can't see the world — but she still hopes someone out there can finally see her.

Maura, a black pit bull mix, stands on a concrete floor near a small empty kiddie pool. Her body is painfully thin, with bones visibly jutting out beneath her skin. She wears a brightly colored floral bandana, which only makes her condition more tragic. Her eyes are nearly sealed shut from severe infection, red and swollen, leaking with pus. Wounds of different ages scatter across her frame. Despite it all, her expression is gentle — tired, broken, and quietly pleading for mercy. The world around her seems bright, but for Maura, it’s a blur of fear, suffering, and abandonment.

Maura needs a miracle. Her body tells the story of neglect, but her spirit still quietly asks for love. She has no voice — but you do. Will you speak for her? Share. Foster. Adopt. Save her life.
