Guardians of Rescue We are a non-profit organization whose members work tirelessly to protect the well-being of animals. This program is a very important aspect of our mission.

Programs

Our programs are designed to provide assistance in a broad range of scenarios, to provide needed assistance, to educate, to motivate, and to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Give me Shelter

This program works to ensure that all animals are provided with proper protection from the elements. The program’s initiatives include volunteers patrolling for animals in situatio

ns without proper protection and adequate food and water, workshops on shelter construction, gathering supplies, and mass shelter assembly days. Guardians of Rescue will be providing shelters free of charge to any and all dogs and cats in need. With this program, we will be joining forces with numerous organizations including organized labor, law enforcement and fellow animal welfare groups in order to maximize the resources needed to assist animals in need. Helping Families:

This program is designed to keep families together. It provides pet food and supplies to anyone in need due to a catastrophic event, or to families in need due to economic reasons. Home Again: Operation Support Our Troops

This program is a part of our Veterans and Military Affairs efforts, assisting returning service men and women in adopting a dog or cat from an animal shelter when they return home or bringing back a pet rescued during their deployment. Guardians of Rescue volunteers act as a special shelter liaison, helping with selection, completion of the adoption process, and training for both the animal and owner. We assist with the logistics of getting a pet home from the area where the service men and women are deployed, and making sure the animal adapts to US life, by providing whatever training is needed. Many men and women in the service are also faced with the dilemma of pet care when deployed on active duty, and are often stuck with no positive alternatives. Animals they adopt while on deployment are in need of safe transport home, and this can be difficult to organize. The therapeutic benefit these animals provide is immeasurable, and these men and women need our support. Next Generation Guardians: Humane Education
The Next Generation Guardians are a group of young people from all walks of life. Their goal is to “learn the ropes” of animal rescue, and be the change for our future. It is presented at public middle schools, high schools, Boy & Girl Scout troops, vocational schools and residential facilities for at risk youth. This program encompasses a number of animal welfare related topics, such as:

• How to recognize the signs of animal abuse and neglect, and how to report it in the proper manner.
• How to fight animal abuse and help defend creatures that cannot themselves.
• Why dog fighting is wrong and morally reprehensible and why it cannot be tolerated. To further the impact of our Humane Education program and further empower students, Guardians of Rescue works with schools and school districts to organize food and supply drives to benefit their local shelters, and assist them with our “Sponsor a Shelter Pet” initiative. Help us Help Them! If you want to volunteer for any of these programs, please complete an application on our website at guardiansofrescue.org. TOGETHER we can save them!

We all love our cats—and all cats!— every day, but just to make sure they get their proper recognition, National Cat Day is observed annually in the United States on October 29.

Founded in 2005, it’s a day to celebrate our feline companions, and especially to encourage the adoption of the many homeless cats in need in shelters, rescues and on the street .

So wish your cat a Happy Cat Holiday, and spread the word about the happiness that adopting a cat—or 2—can bring,

Together we salute them,

There's a cute new crowd in town, and we could really use your help for these pups—

Guardians of Rescue is currently providing care for 13 puppies rescued from a backyard breeder case. Due to the ongoing investigation, specific details regarding the case can't be shared at this time to maintain the integrity of the legal process. We'll tell you more when we can.

These puppies now under our care require extensive medical attention and rehabilitation. Guardians is committed to ensuring these vulnerable animals receive the necessary care to recover and thrive.

They're sweet and adorable, but these are a lot of dogs to see the vet, feed and otherwise provide for—if you can chip in to buy a puppy a meal or a vet exam, that would be great!

www.guardiansofrescue.org/donate

"We are dedicated to providing these puppies with a safe and nurturing environment," said KB, Director Of Operations at Guardians of Rescue. "Our focus is on their well-being, and we are working diligently to address their medical needs and provide them with the love and support they deserve."

Thanks, as always, for having rescued animals' backs!

If you would like to send an item off the list to help with the care of these puppies the list is posted here.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐏

We've recently told you about the rescued dog we now call Stella, who was hit by a vehicle on the highway in Baxley, Georgia.

With no animal services department there, a small local rescue answered the call for help. A "street stray" who had been fed by passers-by, Stella was unable to walk and in a lot of pain, and they brought her to a local vet where X-rays showed a pelvic fracture, and they also discovered that Stella was pregnant.

Guardians was contacted to intervene to help this girl. Sadly, with the broken pelvis and the damaging impact of the vehicle, her pregnancy was not viable. She underwent surgery and was sent to a foster on strict crate rest to recover on Friday.

Unfortunately Stella had additional complications and increased pain, and was rushed back to the hospital, and we found out that sweet Stella needs a full neurological evaluation, due to suspected spinal damage, which will cost 4K.

We are turning over every stone to find the funds to give Stella every chance possible for a full recovery and to begin a better life, no longer in danger on the streets.

Donations, however small, add up fast. If you can possibly chip in a few dollars for her, her chances for Life go way up . You can do that here —

We just can't let Stella down. We promised her our help, and we will keep that promise— but we can't do it alone.

Thank you for your kind help for this sweet Stella,

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐋!

When SFC Jen first found Arsenal, she was just a tiny puppy struggling to survive in an unforgiving place with scorching sun, sparse shelter, and constant noise. It was a harsh environment no puppy could survive on her own.

Despite her rough start, there was something about her, a spark of resilience and trust that instantly captured Jen’s heart. During the long deployment, Arsenal became Jen’s constant companion, offering comfort and joy through every long day and restless night. They truly got each other through it all.

Leaving her behind was never an option.

Now, Arsenal is celebrating her first birthday — safe, loved, and thriving in her forever home in the United States.

“She’s doing great!” Jen shares proudly. “She still has a lot of puppy energy and is in her t-rex phase! She’s super smart, sassy, and very lovable. She’s been such a wonderful addition to my family.”

Arsenal has come so far in her new life. Once timid and unsure, she’s now mastered potty training and continues to build confidence every day. She’s still a little nervous around new people and places, but with patience, love, and training, she’s learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

“I guess I’m just a nervous mom,” Jen laughs. “I’ve been with her every day since last year, and I just want to make sure she’s always okay. But seeing her relax and learn what it’s like to live in a real home has been amazing.”

From a frightened puppy on a military base to a confident, cherished family member, Arsenal’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the unbreakable bond between a soldier and her rescue dog — and how love can truly change a life.

Happy Birthday, Arsenal — here’s to many more years of tail wags, adventures, and unconditional love!

Another Surgery Day for Tesha

In July, Tesha became a GOR pup after law enforcement removed her from a neglectful owner. Tiny Tesha had suffered a horrendous burn and was denied any medical intervention for more than a week. When law enforcement intervened, the wound was infected and infested with maggots. Poor Tasha was in tremendous pain.

Since then, she has been with our medical foster. Many days in the hosptial, surgical interventions, cold laser therapy, silver salve, and all the love she can stand has brought her to her current state of health.

After her check up this week, our amazing veterinarians recommended another surgery. Although her healing has amazed us all, she still has several open areas that are not closing appropriately. Tomorrow morning, she goes back under the knife.

The shares, prayers, and donations from our faithful supporters make all of this possible. Thank you all for standing behind this tiny little fighter and showing her that her life matters.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐓

Hidden away in a forgotten corner of a heartless puppy mill, Peanut's life was a cycle of endless litters. Her happiness and health were not important to her jailers, just the money she could produce by being bred. over and over.

Peanut existed solely to produce "product", her worth measured in the number of puppies she birthed for sale. Her days were marked by discomfort and neglect, her nights filled with the cries of her young, soon taken from her, loss after loss.

Then, a beacon of hope appeared on the horizon—Guardians Of Rescue, dedicated to saving animals from dire situations, learned of Peanut's plight. We arrived, not a moment too soon, and gently took her into our care.

It was the first act of kindness she had ever known, but her life would be only kindness from now on.

You and Guardians, together, have saved so many suffering animals like Peanut together that this became our motto—

Guardians community, we need your help today with an injured dog who needs medical care immediately.

She has been a "street stray" who has been fed by passers-by, but, sadly, she was hit by a vehicle on the highway in Baxley, Georgia.

There is no animal services department there, so a small, struggling local rescue answered the initial call for help. She was taken to a small-town vet with limited resources and the X-Ray showed a pelvic fracture. We were then contacted to try to get her the continuing care they can't give.

This poor girl is currently unable to walk and in a lot of pain, but her spirits are high and she is SO sweet. She has gone to our vets this morning where she will be evaluated by ortho. We need to raise funds quickly.

We don't know her name, but for now, we'll call her Mama, because we just found out SHE'S ALSO PREGNANT!

If you can chip in anything to help Mama, you can do that here—

Pitbull Awareness Month is observed in October to promote education and awareness about pit bull breeds, advocating for responsible ownership and combating breed-specific discrimination.

This week of focus brings to mind Major, a brave pitbull saved by Guardians

Suffering on a 5-foot chain, Major was one of the dogs imprisoned on a Grundy County, Tennessee property. Major could barely stand when we found him there.

Guardians found Major just in time—tests revealed that Major’s body was on the verge of shutting down, as his body was “eating” his muscle tissue to keep him alive. Major had a Body Condition Score of 1.5 out of 9. He was full of whip worms, round worms, and other parasites. Major weighed in at only 31lbs. As a full American Pit Bull, at his age he should have weighed between 75-78 lbs.

On top of all this, X-Rays show his chest cavity around his heart, lungs, and other vital organs were riddled with buckshot from being blasted with a shotgun...Major had really been through Hell... he needed a lot of medical help, and thanks to your support at that time, got everything he needed both physically and mentally to heal in body and spirit.

And as proof of the resilience of dogs, and of Major specifically, despite this terrible past Major recovered, was adopted, and lives happily with his loving family in Indiana.

This month, we salute Major, his breed, and the people who love and care for them,

Back in July, we put out an urgent plea for tiny Tesha who had been removed by law enforcement after suffering horrific burns. We want to thank everyone for their shares, prayers, and donations! Without our faithful supporters, her recovery would not have been possible.

Although she still has a long road ahead with more surgery as she continues to grow, she has come so far! Just look at this sweet girl!

𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐒!

Puppy mills are the dark and shameful side of the "pet industry".

Thousands of exploited dogs (and cats, in kitten mills) languish hidden away in horrible conditions, deprived of real care, nutrition and attention, valued only for the babies they churn out endlessly, seen only as dollar signs to greedy and dishonest animal abusers. When the breeding moms are worn out, and can no longer turn a profit, they are thrown out like trash.

On roadsides and flea markets, puppies are sold to anyone with the cash, with no concern as to the puppies' fates. With the coming of the internet, these abusers have been able to disguise their deplorable operations with cheery websites making them appear as professional and considerate breeders. Many people are fooled, and soon find themselves in love with their new puppy who often is sick, requiring thousands of dollars of veterinary care and enduring terrible suffering. Not all survive their abusive and deprived beginnings.

Guardians has always made the fight against these criminal enterprises a priority, working with law enforcement to shut them down, getting animals out, and regularly taking in animals for medical foster and teaming with our adoption partners to end the suffering and put mill victims on the path to happy, safe and healthy new lives.

The News—we can't release details yet, for obvious reasons, but we're gearing up for a new rescue mission to save dogs from a puppy mill, and it's happening soon! These pups need our help to escape a life of neglect and find loving homes. Every dog deserves a chance to feel safe, loved, and free from harm. We're working hard to make this rescue a success, but we can't do it alone.

Right now, as we approach zero hour, we need to raise the money to make this mission of mercy a success, and every little bit counts.

Like we have so many times before, can we come together now to give these deserving dogs a new beginning and show them the kindness they've been missing? If we can get many small donations, we can make this work, and the suffering of these current mill victims will end for good.

Right now, these dogs have no idea that an army of friends—you and Guardians—are out there working to free them from their forced breeding slavery. If you can be an angel for these dogs, you can do that here—

www.guardiansofrescue.org/donate

Stay tuned for updates on the mission and how you can get involved! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these precious animals.

Thank you for the help—and hope—you give to suffering animals,

Together we save them,
