Someone asked me, “what’s it like….to be there?”When you are there, it’s hard. To bear witness to suffering. But afterwards in the quiet of the car listening to the hum of the highway or the stillness before you fall asleep - that’s when it’s almost harder. When you have pockets of time to wonder what happened to them - the ones we couldn’t help. As I am typing this right now, are they pulling into the slaughter house lot? Are they already gone? What was I doing when they lost their lives in the last several days? Something as mundane as brushing my teeth?These parallel experiences of which I will never know. My heart feels like one of those large commercial fishing nets. Slowly getting pulled out of the polluted ocean, sagging and weighed down with trash. There may be a couple treasures buried deep within the contents, but mostly it is heavy and soggy and filled with ugly and pain. Initially when it gets dumped on the deck of the boat, all you see is sprawling junk, rotted wood, weeds. But, as you start to sift through it, you can and will find beautiful things. The reason we go in the first place. My experience had, of course, some beautiful moments. The rescues I get to work with, the lives we collaboratively changed. But in the midst of all of that is why we even have to be there in the first place. All of the ugly. It weighs on me. It takes time afterwards to sift through it all. To try to sift out the weight. To try to make heads or tails out of the sheer cruelty witnessed. The disregard. The lack of empathy. I will never be upset that I feel so deeply, but what I grapple with is how some people feel nothing at all. The disconnect. It is a strange dichotomy to have a heart full of gratitude for all the good we accomplished while also have a heart weighed down with pure sadness and pain of why we even have to go. That’s the only way I can explain it. That’s what it’s like. Be gentle with all who go. Ours hearts are usually tender afterward
WilsonHausCoffee.com I am on a mission to save dogs in overcrowded shelters from euth@nas|a, but need your help. My name is Morgan, and I started WilsonHaus Coffee to be able to financially support our own rescue and sanctuary as well as give back to other rescues. This was inspired by my own rescue dogs, Wilson and Lewis - both at risk and pulled from shelters that were drowning in dogs. Lewis in particular was on the euth@nas|a list due to a medical issue. Thankfully, a rescue was able to save him before that happened, provide him the surgery he needed, and rehabilitate him. With every bag of coffee you purchase, you are saving lives. WilsonHaus Coffee is in the most literal sense Coffee to the Rescue. We will start with creating our foster program and building a financial runway for intakes, with a goal to start saving dogs in July. This can only happen if we meet our quotas and begin to scale. Besides opening our own rescue, we also want to focus on prevention initiatives.Our first goal to help with prevention efforts is to financially sponsor at least one of This is Houston’s spay and neuter events they host quarterly for their community. They are located in Texas, an area of the U.S. rampant with stray dogs due an uncontrolled population of animals. This event typically costs between 10,000-11,000 dollars. Prevention is a powerful intervention that we are committed to being a part of. I am not a corporation, or a huge business. I am just someone trying to make a difference. I realize not everyone is in a position to purchase, but liking, commenting and sharing are all also tremendously helpful. WilsonHaus Coffee is truly Coffee to the Rescue

Become a COFFEEHAUS MEMBER!
As many of you know, we have introduced WilsonHaus coffee! The profit from the coffee business is going to help fund our very own rescue and sanctuary, starting with the GROUNDS for GROUNDS campaign. The very first and biggest undertaking we have is to fund land and property to make our vision come to life.
You can read ALL about our vision and mission on the website for coffee which is https://wilsonhauscoffee.com
In order to get WilsonHaus Rescue off the ground, we first need to get WilsonHaus Coffee of the ground, which is where this PHASE 1 comes in.
I am looking for 5,000 people to become HAUS MEMBERS to help us get WilsonHaus Coffee launched.
As a Haus Member you will get:
--A bag of coffee that will ship out as soon as we secure 5,000 members/pledges
LIFETIME 15% off WilsonHaus Coffee
-5 people will win 1,000 dollars for becoming members
I am eventually thinking of offering exclusive apparel items that only Haus members will be able to get, exclusive merch like “I’m a HAUS MEMBER”
And “MEMBER OF THE HAUS”
Ultimately – you are helping to crowdfund a movement. This is so much more than coffee – the coffee is a vehicle of movement of change, safety, and safe haven.
Becoming a HAUS MEMBER means that you are helping us build our vision, that this community can build a sustainable and reliable model.
I really hope that people take pride in joining, in being a member. I cannot stress enough how much this is setting the business and subsequently the rescue up for success.
There are two FAQ sections on the site – one about rescue and one about becoming a HAUS member. If you have questions, that is a great place to start, otherwise I am more than happy to answer questions on here as well.
