🚨 ADOPTING TATER WILL CERTAINLY PUT YOU ON THE NICE LIST!!🚨

This is Tater! She is in a bit of an identity crisis: we aren’t sure if she is a seal or Santa’s head elf. Either way she is sweeter than peppermint sticks and would love a lap to keep warm.

🐾 GIVING TUESDAY is here, and our hearts are full of gratitude for the community that stands beside us in saving dogs in need.

Behind every dog we rescue is a story. A story of neglect, abandonment, fear, and then hope. Hope that someone will care. Hope that they are worth saving. Hope that love is still meant for them.

If you’re able to give today, please know that every single dollar truly counts. Whether it’s $2, $5, or $50, it directly impacts food, medical care, transport, and safe shelter for dogs waiting for their forever homes.

Think of it this way: we currently have just over 43,000 followers here on Facebook. Imagine what JUST ONE DOLLAR PER PERSON could do for us. $1 x 43,000 amazing individuals = $43,000+ to continue doing the work we love.

All donations are tax deductible, but more importantly—each contribution becomes part of a miracle. Your generosity doesn’t just change a life…it SAVES one. It tells a dog who has been overlooked that they matter.

Thank you for caring.
Thank you for believing in our rescue.
Thank you for giving hope to those who can’t ask for it themselves. 🐶❤️

🥳Updates on recent doggos! 🥳

Pit mom and babies from Madison County went to a rescue in Indiana. We provided the first set of shots to get them started, the rescue is taking it from there! We couldn’t be more thrilled for them!

Stevie has went to foster home for the past few weeks, as you can see his made himself at home. He is on anxiety meds but settling in nicely! He will be back up for adoption this week to look for that perfect home. Foster mom will foster him until he finds his people!

Another week for more bragging about how great our volunteers are.

Let’s talk about Pam. Pam does several transports a month, almost weekly, and is such a huge help. Transporting animals is just as important as everything else we do. We can’t thank Pam enough for what she does! By the way thanks for the long transport today!

Let’s talk about Suzanna. Suzanna has been with us for years, almost since the beginning of our journey. She is a wealth of knowledge and also rescues horses for a horse rescue in West Virginia. We can’t thank Suzanna enough for all the dogs she’s fostered over the years. She’s saved over 50 dogs with us and ended up getting a mom and newborns today. We keep her busy in her already busy life. Thank you Suzanna!
