The TM Crew is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to rescuing senior dogs. Our mission is that no senior dog dies alone or abandoned.

We surround them with love and care until the very end. We focus is on hospice care and quality of life for each dog we rescue.

Foster needed for Zoey. She is super sweet, cuddly, dog friendly and loves walks. She is a chihuahua mix, 10 years old, and weighs around 12 to 15 lbs. We still need to raise money for her spay and dental.

Unfortunately sometimes it’s just not a fit for the dog or family. She needs a home where she can be spoiled in her senior years. I’ve spent a day with her at my place and she is so easy to have around. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Zoey please email [email protected] for applications 🐾

It’s amazing how quickly some forget what rescue is truly about.

It’s not about power.
It’s not about image.
It’s not about controlling narratives or silencing voices.

Rescue is about the animals. Period.

When we are working to reunite a dog with a family, things don’t always come perfectly packaged. We may not have all the vet records, purchase papers, or clean documentation. But that doesn’t mean the story ends there.

We follow the leads. We do the legwork. And most importantly, we consider the heart of the matter.

Does the dog know them?
Does the family know that dog—really know them?
Do we see love, recognition, and connection that can’t be faked?

Those moments matter more than paperwork ever could. And any rescue that ignores that is failing the very mission it claims to uphold.

You can’t call it rescue if you’re guarding animals like possessions.
You can’t claim compassion while ignoring truth.
And you definitely can’t call it ethical if the dog’s well-being isn’t at the center of every single decision.

Mistakes happen. That’s human. But the response to those mistakes is what defines character. Do we learn and grow—or do we deflect, cover up, and shut down those who speak up?

Some of us are in this for the right reasons.
No ego. No politics. No agenda. Just heart. Just truth. Just love for these animals.

We follow the heart of the dog, and the heart of the people who love them.

Every. Single. Time.

Update on Buddy. Unfortunately they did not show up for their vet appointment I scheduled for them but I’m not going to give up. I’m going to see if I can find him and get him to still take Buddy to get his ears checked out. I’ll keep you all posted. 🥰

🐾Let’s help Buddy & his dad James 🐾

While I was doing my recycling today I noticed Buddy laying quietly while his dad turned in his recycling. His dad had all his belongings in a wagon and backpack.

I had bags of dog food in my van for my rescue so I first asked if he could use some food for his dog. He immediately said yes and I was able to give him a 32lb bag of dog food. I then started talking to buddies dad about how great his pup was. He has had him since he was 2 years old and now buddy is about 9 years old. He told me how great he was and you could tell how much he loved Buddy. You also can tell they have a very strong bond.

As we were talking he told me he needs to get him into a vet to get his ear checked out. I told him I have a great vet and I can make an appointment for him if he can take him. His dad asked how much it would cost and I told him I would cover it. So now I need your help so that we can get his vet bills covered. I made an appointment for Buddy. He will be getting an exam, his ears cleaned and medication. I also want to get him updated on his vaccines if needed. The weather is colder this week in California so I would love to buy buddy a new sweater and jacket. Here’s how you can help.

Our sweet little Benjamin Buttons had his two week follow up after getting the rest of his 12 rotten teeth removed that were causing him so much pain. He is doing so well and I can tell he’s so grateful that you all rallied to help cover his dental surgery. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you buddy and a huge shout out to for taking such great care of him. We still need help getting our vet bills paid off. You can donate directly to our vet.

It just keeps getting worse with California Doodle Rescue . Each day more people keep coming out on them. This is not how a rescue is ran. What kind of rescue makes someone buy back their own dog for $950 and then offers a cash deal for $400? We need to get loud to protect these animals and shutdown this rescue. Many of the dogs they adopt are not vetted, fixed, or microchipped. I have heard from multiple prople that they do not do home checks either.

Has anyone one fostered or adopted through them? We need your experience and it can be anonymous. Please email [email protected] or reach out to Bring Oreo Home 🥰 you can also report them to the attorney general. We need to know where the over $500,000 in donations went to in their first year running a 501c3 starting in 2023.

Please help Oreo be returned to his family. To learn more about what’s going on follow Bring Oreo Home on Facebook. Please share so the rescue does the right thing and returns Oreo to his loving family 💛

🌈 Our sweet Mia is back home with us. 🌈
Mia was full of sass, love and independent. She lived the best life with us and for that I’ll forever be grateful. She left this world knowing she was loved in my arms and not in a scary shelter.

Thank you for sending us Benjamin Buttons. Two weeks after she passed away I was notified of him and yesterday while Benjamin was getting his much needed dental her ashes were ready to be picked up when I went to pick him up. She definitely had a huge part in this. I grieve after each dog I lose and I always promise to keep helping another by honoring another dog in need.

I’ll love you forever Mia. Tell all my fur angels hi and my dad 💛

My heart 💛 Tami never lays with anyone but today I let Buttons out in our front room. She snuggled right next to him and is protecting him. She won’t let anyone lay near them 🥰

Our sweet Benjamin Buttons did great yesterday. He had all of his teeth removed, we had him microchipped and he got his vaccines. Now it’s time for him to recovery in his cute Toast neck pillow. I can already tell he is going to feel so much better now that his infected teeth are gone and we can help heal his mouth. He slept through the night in his dog suite, we woke up early so he could potty and he ate breakfast. I am always in awe of these senior dogs and their resilience.

We still need to get part of his bill covered. Here is how you can help.

This tiny little soul is going to feel so much better once we get him to our vet. You can tell the poor guy has been suffering for a while. He let me hold him tonight in my arms and he started falling asleep wrapped in a blanket. I can’t imagine how scared he must have been and how painful his mouth is. You can also tell his eyes are infected. 🥰

It’s been two weeks yesterday since I had to say goodbye to Mia. Even though she wasn’t mentally here anymore the last few month’s. I miss seeing her sleeping so peacefully in her safe spot I designed for her. She had her own little suite with her favorite princess bed. Now in honor of her we will be helping a new fragile tiny old man that I know she knew we needed help from above. Thank you Mia you for sending him to us. I sure do miss you here even when it was so hard at the end for both of us 🌈💛🐾

Transportation has been secured for this little old man who you can tell has been neglected for years. We still need help raising funds so that we can get him into the vet immediately. I’m grateful for everyone involved that has helped network this senior. I’ll never understand how someone can let a dog get this bad. Here is how you can help.
