Hello all...just wanted to post this....Credence seems like such a doll!! We're so happy he's safe with us. Wanted to let everyone know that we have paid the bill for his boarding at The Groom Room at Ladybug Farms and we have also paid his vet visit to Gaston Low cost spay/neuter clinic, which he has an appointment there on Wednesday at 11am in which our foster Erin will take him....he's only at the boarding facility till Wednesday morning then in foster:) below is a quick video of him. So sweet!

Lilly Bear went for her 2nd HW injection and she will go for her 3rd tomorrow....pls keep her in your thoughts and prayers as those injections are hard on them. She will be on crate rest for another 30 days and then available for adoption.

Lastly tomorrow is GIVING TUESDAY....pls consider making a donation to us.

Wanted to give everyone an update....Credence will
Be leaving Gaston tomorrow with our new foster Erin!! Thank you Erin for stepping up and helping!! He will also be going to the vet, most likely on Monday or Tuesday. We've gotten 3 recommendations....and I know we have a lot of supporters in that area, has anyone used any of these clinics b4 and if so, can you give us any feedback. We need to get him on seizures meds b4 we can neuter him....so we need to keep those donations coming in.

We'll keep everyone updated on his freedom pic tomorrow! Enjoy your weekend everyone and thank you for your support!

Ok guys...PLS welcome Credence to his new life with us! For those of you who feel comfortable now, pls honor your pledges for Credence with our platforms below.... The goal is around $700-$1000, as he needs to be neutered, he needs to be seen for the seizure activity, and he needs to be transported… Obviously we're leaning more towards the $700 number, but it could go higher depending on what they find with his seizures. We will be securing a vet appointment locally to Gaston for his neuter and his seizures. The plan for Credence is to be donated to another disabled/veteran. If you are a vet or know of one, pls message us....we will take care of all medical and transport to the veterans home! Pls keep Credence in your thoughts and prayers as he does have some medical issues going on, which we are hoping to solve for him!

Again, if you are comfortable in sending in your pledge or donating now, please do so at the below platforms, and we will make sure to get a freedom picture within the next day or two. Thank you again for all of your help and support, and especially helping our veterans who deserve the utmost care and respect from us!

UPDATE 11/26 2PM - German Shepherd ID #: 59842322 will be extended but needs commitment by Saturday 11/29 @ 8am to avoid being euthanized. The shelter will be closed 11/27 & 11/28.

This dog was reported as a stray, the finder noted that he was having a seizure. Upon arrival our ACO found him in a very unfocused stare, he was excessively panting, and had difficulty walking. The dog was transported to a local veterinary office where he again had another seizure in the lobby. He is currently being boarded where he is being observed and monitored closely, where Veterinary staff can intervene if he does have another siezure. We will need immediate rescue placement as his condition is not manageable in the shelter environment😔 In the short time he was at the shelter interacting with staff he was very friendly and well behaved💙

Hello all and Happy Turkey Day....my apologies as I spent the day in the ER with my daughter again....we just got home And we're all wiped out....I did want to say that we really need some fosters....we've been contacted and tagged several times about this boy, and I'd like to see if we could donate him to a veteran....but once again we need pledges for him....so we're gonna ask...IF we get him, what amount could/would you donate? Pls don't send anything now, other than an amount....and PLS PLEASE, do not say you'll help with $ and then never do! We count on pledges and count on our supporters when they say, "I'll donate" or "Ck is in the mail" or "soon as this week is up, I'll contact you"....and then nothing! We have an incredible amount of dedicated supporters who help us ALL THE TIME, but we get excited when new people or different people say they'll help and then we never hear anything....pls pls pls when you say you'll help, pls do! We need all he help we can get! So let's see if we csn help this boy!!

Thx all! And Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok everyone...we're stuck at $230 still needed for Denali's neuter....we'd like to get this goal funded before everyone is broke from holiday shopping 🤣🤣🤣🤣and seeing how today is Tuesday, we'd like to do a $2 TUESDAY FUNDRAISER...so let's get this goal met and funded....we also are on the lookout for another dog for a veteran so if you see one ON THE EAST COAST ONLY, pls MESSAGE US, pls don't just tag us as we get dozens of tags a day. I'd love to be able to get this veteran a dog for the holiday season....so pls keep an eye out....

Lastly. With that being said we DO get dozens of tags a day asking us to help and we're are MORE than willing but we can't even get a few hundred dollars for a neuter, so I have reservations about pulling dogs if we can't get small donations....as well...we've got to ALSO have fosters and we're been asking but no one has stepped up yet....so PLS if you have the room, we'd love to be able to help more dogs, until we can get a brick and mortar facility....if you'd consider fostering PLS message us asap.

Here are our platforms for Denali's neuter fund:

What more could we ask for, for the holiday season!! My heart is happy, warm and BIG right now....can't wait to see the article....we also DO have another veteran that needs a companion dog....so we'll be looking for one....and we will do the same as we did for Patton....we'll ask our donators for financial help getting the dog all healthy (if he/she isn't) and transport to him....if yall see one who's healthy with no major behavioral issues, pls tag us...East Coast and or Dallas....

We got some more donations so we're down to only needing $230!! Let's see if we can meet this goal today for Denali's neuter:), platforms are below....

Can't wait to see if we can help this next veteran!

Big shout out to Lia Lia for trusting us with finding a place for Neesha!! And to MODULAR K9 SOLUTIONS for his eval, and trust in my trainer skills, to know Neesha was too much dog for a pet home....we couldn't be more excited for her new path in life. Thank you to Jen for giving her a chance to use the brain God gave her....we're so grateful to have such a great relationship with the working dog world, and can't wait to see where Neesha will end up. The plan is to have her donated to a PD by the beginning of 2026! Happy tails sweetheart....thank you for being such a wonderful part of our organization!(pics below with Jen!)

Lastly, we need to meet our last monitary goal of $275 for Denali's neuter when he gets to NY....so lets see if we can get this goal completed today:)

Exciting Sunday! My partner and I are off to drop off Neesha to her new/temp home with !! I've known Jen a long time and we actually worked together when she had Issa in her possession a while back...Issa was adopted out to Kim and her family....so I know Jen personally and professionally....and I know Neesha will be In great hands! The plan is for Jen to work with her for a bit, especially her nose and then to donate her to a PD looking for a working dog! We're so excited for this opportunity for Neesha!

Ok so we received a few donations for Denali's neuter...so let's see if we can accomplish this goal today....we have $275 to go....so if you can donate, pls do. Also we are continuously getting tagged on dogs that need to be rescued or they're going to be euthanized… If anybody can Foster, we are looking for at least 2/3 fosters by the end of the year… That's my goal…So if you were interested, please reach out ASAP! 

Again, pls donate if you can!
