The blows won’t stop. We made moves and felt like we saw a light and the text hit….. “he was tied up at the cemetery and left. He’s major medical due to severe emaciation and bloodwork” …. So I have two choices . Pretend we didn’t get the text.. or beg . So here we are fam. I have no foster and we need funds critically to take him. How to help.
👉offer to foster him or another with us to open a space
👉donate to our medical fund today for five Friday to help us be ready to jump

‼️Hurricane relief support need‼️
We have continued our support efforts in the mountains and I do my best to keep communication open because what I’ve found is many of our fam there doesn’t want to ask for extra support. Most just say they “feel thankful already and they will keep figuring it out”…those words shouldn’t have to happen. It’s so unfair the amount of devastation that’s taken so much. Our goal is to lighten the load and to show you don’t have to figure this out alone. We stand by ready as the needs rise. We met an amazing group called rise that’s been doing incredible disaster relief work and we joined forces for the need in bakersville nc. We located 4 families who lost their barns. With winter snow quickly approaching these families are so worried about their livestock. Their animals freezing with no opportunity to escape the elements is weighing heavy on their hearts.. so we are fixing it. It’s time to take that burden so they don’t have to figure it out alone. The weekend of 11/15-17 a group of us will be on site installing some coverings and enclosures. While there we will also be partnering on some dog and cat needs. Let’s show up in full force fam. They need us and we can meet the need together. Our fam there deserves the help so much. How you can help?
👉donate to the enclosures. Each will cost $600-700 and we need to raise the funds for supplies . Your donation helps give these animals warmth in the storms .
👉purchase items from the wishlist in our bio . List is called bakersville . These items will ship to us for our staging ground and be taken up on the project
👉volunteer to be on install / support team . This team will be on site doing installs and manual labor 15-17. You can dm me for details on our plans 🫡

A month ago devastation hit in ways none of us thought was possible. The appalachian mountains are my roots. They are the place I grew up and what I say taught me so much about being the human I am. The people in the mountains are some of the kindest humans you can ever meet. Seeing so much devastation surrounding the best of the best is heart shattering. Seeing the people come together to meet the needs of their neighbors near and far has also restored my faith in humanity. It’s a roller coaster you can’t explain until you live it. The last week has been slower on requested needs but then today hit. A need that just hit me in my heart when I leases expected it my dear friend is on site in the mountains this weekend when she learned of a need. She texted me and reading it tears streamed down my face. I learned of a man who is 84. His home suffered major devastation. His town suffered major devastation. He was mid chemo when Helene hit. They closed his chemo center so he had to leave for treatment in VA. His neighbor agreed to helping watch his dogs but unfortunately the dogs keep escaping from the damaged property fencing. One broke out and was hit by a car and passed. Now rascal and pepper are left .. these two dogs are his heart. When he heard the neighbors can’t keep them safe he was choosing to leave VA and stop chemo just to be with his dogs to keep them safe. His treatment is done in December. That means he only needs a safe place for them a month… so we offered to safely board his dogs for a month then return them to him when he’s feeling better and his fence is ok. He was sobbing with appreciation because he doesn’t want to lose his dogs… rescue isn’t cookie cutter. This isn’t our norm but it’s what right. He deserves his dogs and his health and so much good. Fam I need your help fundraising for his dogs boarding. We need $1680 for the month ($28 per day per dog). I would also like to help catch up their annual medical needs to relieve that burden for him. If your willing please donate with info below .

We loved you so big together toffee. Fly high and run pain free sweet girl. ❤️

No dog deserves their end to be laying in a puddle of their own blood on an animal control truck . This puppy was found lifeless in a driveway bleeding from multiple wounds. It appears to be attack wounds from multiple size dogs. We have this girl rushing to the trauma center to receive immediate pain relief and evaluation. She deserves a chance . The shelter unfortunately does not have a vet so their only option would be immediate euthanasia. Our major medical fund was wiped out by our critical Marco last week followed by the 5 lives left in a rubber made container sealed on Halloween. We are operating in critically low funds but I have seen us time and time leap knowing it’s what’s right and we just all find a way together . This family moves mountains that seem impossible..she can’t beg but I can. So here I am.. please donate for toffee . She is approx 5 months old and being rushed in now. We are looking at 5-7k just for her trauma care .

Yesterday someone saw an object being thrown from a car and then they went to see and found him… starved and unable to even lift his head. The city animal control team came to help him but once they realized how critical his medical needs were they called us. Specializing in major medical means we are often the 911 please jump in call. Honestly our medical fund is so low this week I was doing everything we could to avoid major expense cases. Then I saw his face. No way I would leave him suffering. . We got to him and rushed him to our icu partner . Their team did an incredible job of getting him comfortable and working on answers. Unfortunately the Answers and diagnostics show terrible things. He’s been starved to the point his body had already begun shutting down. His pcv is at 10% when normal is 37-55%. Marco has only gravel in his stomach. He can’t even safely eat at this time due to blood and trauma to his g i. His other components of his blood work were hopeful so we have chosen to keep fighting. He will need 3-4 transfusions. He will continue to be on an ng tube for feeding for a few days. we can’t rush starting all these systems back up or we risk refeeding syndrome, shock, and a number of other things. So for now we need to give him time to fight. Patience, love, kindness and a lot of incredible medical intervention that has a chance to give him his life back. He’s so worthy and I can’t imagine the heart break and pain he’s lived. We owe him this chance . Humans failed him so grossly over and over. We won’t. So we need you to help him have this chance. 10-13k is his estimate as of now. today is five Friday. We are hopeful you all jump in and make this our biggest five Friday for Marco. Today please donate what you’re able and share his story. ❤️Marco we love you sweet boy. Just fight a little longer and we promise it’s going to be so worth it. You are not forgotten. You are family now ❤️

‼️‼️911 happening now‼️‼️
Someone saw what they thought was an object thrown from a car then there he was found ..laying there lifeless on the side of the road. The shelter called us due to the nature of the trauma care he needs. He’s being rushed to the hospital now where our incredible icu Partners will work to stabilize. I only had a few minutes with him but it was enough for me to tell him just fight a little longer and how sorry I am. I told him this family will fight for him just give us a little more time. Family meet Marco. His body can tell you everything. He’s been starved until he was what they considered trash. He was then disposed of as such… now he’s ours. He’s everything and we will fight like hell. He will need at minimum of 5k just today for deposit. We need emergency funds for him asap. Please donate what you are able for his fight. Every dollar helps

Yes it’s graphic. Yes it’s hard to see.. but it’s his reality . Gilmore is his name . These pics are when he was found laying in a yard in orangeberg sc shot and left to die. Gilmore was rushed to the e r under another rescue group who were his angels . They knew he needed help but they could not afford the care needed so they posted for help and still rushed him in trying to save him . We were tagged on the post and stepped in. We took over and paid the 5285.00 deposit and told the e r to do everything to try. I text the county shelter team member as we have worked with them before. They assured me an officer will be assigned to investigate. Gilmore was in shock with tachy rates and low blood pressure . The entire story shatters my heart but the facts from his medical needs are haunting me.. blood levels were critically low.. he laid there… alone. Just bleeding out. The entry wound was on top of his back and an exit on his side.. this means someone stood over his aprox 5 month body to shoot him. I’ve played it over and over in my mind and his truth is everything we have to fight for. This should never happen. Gilmore deserved so much more. He fought so hard but the gunshot wound caused him to pass at 1:42 a m last night. We are devastated and had already fallen in love with this sweet soul. We won’t let this be the end of his story. We will be calling for a formal investigation and determined to get justice for Gilmore. I will update more today when we know a status update on investigation . The other hard reality is we just emptied our entire major medical fund and we lost this angel. We need you today. Please donate to five Friday today whatever amount you can to help toward Gilmores bill . He deserved every cent and effort . His life mattered. If we can’t raise the funds back we can’t run to lives just like him who need us. Fly high and pain free Gilmore. You are never forgotten. You are family now.

Five Friday is here and our medical fund is on the floor . This week of intakes has depleted us in major ways. I swore no major medical intakes until we replenished our medical fund but making this angel sit in a city shelter with his jaw broken wasn’t even an option for me. He deserved emergency help and immediate pain control. He’s admitted and last night we paid his $3500 deposit which was just for the stabilization. Today he will need surgery which is an additional $3-4k. There’s no way we would turn him away. This sweet little guy deserves a chance at life. So today I’m praying we have our biggest five Friday yet for Pierogi to get his surgery covered. Your five dollars on a Friday is truly how we run to the emergency cases like him so please help if your able and just know that small amount adds up and makes this all possible if we do it as a family together. Little moves can make a really big difference . Pierogi says he loves you all. 🥹don’t worry pierogi .. you aren’t forgotten now. You are family . We got you. Just hold on little guy. ❤️

This poor baby has been at the shelter testing positive for parvo for days and they have sent multiple emails begging for help. Everyone is full. Everyone is exhausted. We are both of those things as well but I have a foster offer so we are going to fight like hell for this baby and jump in. We need funds urgent for taking in a major medical. Parvo is SO preventable and it’s always devastating to see these poor babies fight so hard for something that didn’t have to happen. A simple vaccine would have prevented this 😭. We are picking him up now . Currently he’s pretty stable and we pray he stays this way. Parvo can turn critical within minutes. Please donate for gadgets funds needed below. Hold tight little buddy. We are going to do everything we can.

The past week has been filled with utter devastation and heart break.. but it’s also been met with so much kindness. I’ve watched you all move mountains to serve our family and friends in the mountains that have lost it all. Our first drive I expected us to be 1 full load.. you guys said no way. We have now sent over 30 loads to our fam in the mountains. This has been 100% grass roots.. we are in contact with community members in the mountains as well as getting on site to evaluate and assist. we then collected items, sorted them, then prioritized who asked for what followed by a post for our volunteers to deliver. Every trip and car load has amazed me. The need would hit and then the items appear.. we were able to meet so many needs just by showing up and being willing to move. I won’t lie my body and many other bodies who have been serving beside us are exhausted.. but as I always say if we are moving for good it will work every time . One foot in front of the other. We may be tired but we have so much. Our family there lost it all so if we can keep moving for them we are going . To every person who helped so far. You’re the heart of this rescue. Now we still have work to do.. This week all locations are open for drops. The list of needs has been adjusted based on direct asks from the community members we are serving.
👉not local? Not a problem. Donate and mark it hurricane relief or purchase from our hurricane wishlist
👉local? Drop to any of our zones this week. If residential please just leave on porch or in car port . If business drop please go in lobby
👉want to serve? Dm us. We need sorters, transports, and hearts and homes for Foster’s as well.
👉share share share
