Annie's Rescue Ride

The link to my rescue's Chewy's wish list probably won't work because I am technology-challenged. If it doesn't bring you to the list, go to your Chewy page, click on account, then 'my rescues' and on that page you can search for any rescue that is registered with Chewy. The wish list will be there.
I try to keep my fundraising campaigns to a minimum because I know times are tough. I have a big vet bill coming my way for the FIV girls so if I could get some cat food, litter, or treats for them, I would appreciate it. Thank you.😻

Charlie's Angels are back! Meet Farrah, Jaclyn, and Kate. Also known as the FIV girls. These three beauties were at a shelter for over a year despite their sweet personalities and gorgeous looks. The reason is that there continues to be a stigma about FIV-positive cats, so adopters tend to shy away from adopting them. My heart broke for them as they languished in an isolation room with no contact with other cats. So, I took them from the shelter and brought them to my cat sanctuary, where they can roam safely in their own catio and tiny home while they wait to be adopted. Welcome ladies!

I know I am preaching to the choir, but pets are family, and they are forever. Inconvenience is not a reason to give them up.

Hi again...Evidently, the messages I was getting were not from Meta and this is a scam. I believed it because I have had issues with my page so I thought it was legit. I hope the crisis is over. To everyone sending me friend requests I will keep your names if my page does get removed.

As suspected, the foster-to-adopt trial ended quickly---resulting in adoption! Brownie is now called Tavi and has already acclimated to his new home in record time. I could not have asked for a better adopter and a better outcome. Yay for Brownie/Tavi!!

It's going to be a Brownie Photopalooza for a while because not only did he land in the best home ever, but it is so damn cute! From being in an animal control facility for over a month to shopping at Tractor Supply with a bow tie on! Enjoy the sight of a happy, happy dog.

Quick update regarding Brownie. I made it safely to Utah but we had a change of plans. Someone (a former animal shelter director) found out about Brownie and decided to do a foster-to-adopt situation. So, he went straight to a home and not into a kennel. He is doing amazingly well and I suspect the adoption will be sooner rather than later. ❤

Howard: my inspiration for starting a cat sanctuary for hospice cats passed was set free from his body that failed him. Annie's Rescue Ride started out as a dog rescue but after Howard appeared on my doorstep one day and never left, I knew I had to help all the other "Howards" out there who were abandoned and left for dead. I've had many pets in my life but few have touched my soul like Howard did. He was a gift that I will be forever grateful for. I will miss the way he made me laugh and I will forever save cats in his memory. My heart is shattered.

Brownie update: He is slowly decompressing and coming out of his shell. His vet care is done and now that he has his bath, he can have his official glam photo. He's come a long way from shelter life to sitting in a sparkle chair.

Hi, my name is Brownie. This is my sad story. I was adopted as a puppy by a nice lady. She was my only person for almost 10 years. But then she got sick and needed to live in a nursing home. I hoped the family would keep me but they brought me to a scary place instead. The shelter is run by a nice lady but she can only do so much to keep us comfortable. I was there for over a month and nobody wanted to adopt me because I would hide each time someone came near me. But then, some lady wearing an alien shirt came to take me away. I'm still sad but I'm warm and cozy in my own house with a pink door. I think Christmas came early for me.
Love, Brownie

This is Brownie. He found himself at a rural, rundown animal control facility. He sat scared and lonely for over a month with not one person inquiring to adopt him. Thankfully, the animal control officer networked the dogs on Facebook and I saw his face. I drove to New Mexico to get him and he is safe with my rescue. I will give more details about his sad story soon, but little does he know today is the first day of the rest of his happy life.
