Rio is home. 🥰

Baby Rio smiling as she’s cuddled and cradled and loved...she has had an exhausting day that started at 4 am. Two flights and two car rides later, Rio was able to be seen at Animal Medical Center in NYC. She will be settling in tonight at her foster home while we review some of the assessment notes and make decisions that will benefit her.
It is very likely that Rio will never walk on her own again. The bullets traversed her spine and she has no sensation in the lower part of her body. The consensus is that with rehabilitation and a doggy wheelchair, Rio will live a full and happy life. We will continue to explore further assessment and different forms of therapy. For now she will decompress, relax, enjoy a comfortable and fluffy bed, and be given all the love, care, and respect she deserves. You can continue to follow her process here with us until she’s ready to find a loving family. For now we’re grateful for all the love she has received so far.

Today was our vaccination event in the valley! We provided 100 dogs with access to vaccines, bravecto, and dewormer. AND we are not done yet!! We hit the streets to go directly to the source! Many of these dogs have never received a vaccine in their lives, live in meager conditions or in the streets vulnerable to all types of diseases. Other owners simply do not have vehicles nor funds to utilize vet care. Our volunteers went out with the help of Houston K-911 Rescue, as soon as neighbors found out we were providing resources they rushed to direct volunteers to their homes to help their pets. I am a strong believer that if resources are provided in lower income communities, the whole of the area will improve. Please help us continue our mission to help better the lives of these poor dogs by donating. We stretch every penny that is donated, and every $1 helps! We hope we can do this monthly if we can raise funds!

We visited one of the finders that reached out to us after finding puppies. She had found two pregnant dogs previously. We vaccinate, and provide basic medical care for the dogs in possession until we are able to find a rescue partner to accept them. This family has taken in 18 stray dogs/puppies that we have been able to help them with. We depend on people like them in the RGV community to continue helping!

Please donate so we can continue this program: https://paypal.me/DiandraP?locale.x=en_US

Rio sis doing better today!

Quick little update on baby Rio.
She’s alert and eating (like a little wolf according to the vet tech!)
She’s sweet and enjoying the attention she’s getting.
We’re still working on making arrangements for her flight to NY. There are a lot of little and delicate details we have to work out and we want to make sure she’s as safe and as comfortable as possible. This type of rescue has many moving and coinciding parts.
We’re hoping to have her brought to AMC in NYC, Cornell University, or Animal Surgical Center on Long Island where she will see board certified neurologists and surgeons and eventual rehabilitation.
All details will come soon. For now please continue to keep Rio in your thoughts. We will provide more pictures and details as soon as we get them!

We worked all night to prepare for our trip down to the valley this weekend! We loaded up donations, and will be dispersing it out to fosters and feeders!

Right now Benny is flying across the country on his way to Illinois as I type! Last week Benny was dragging his little body in search for food. A puppy trying to survive after being shot. His entire life has changed for the better!

Dogs are not people. In the local community of the RGV, like many high stray areas, there is usually a mentality that dogs are just like people needing to experience “motherhood.” Experience “a family.” We are normally asked to help cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents of a dog. I am always shocked when people list an entire family tree and it happens often. As an animal advocate, I state this firmly, dogs are not people. They are dogs. They are pack animals. They have no desire to birth puppies. They do not have the same emotional attachments to puppies as people do to their children. In fact, there is high tendency of aggression built between littermates if they are kept together or kept with fathers and mothers. There is in**st between unaltered related dogs because they do not recognize they are “family.” It is not only our mission to rescue dogs but to spay and neuter community pets! Yesterday, we spayed over a dozen dogs. A small number in the sea of millions. Please help us fundraiser to continue to help lower stray numbers by spaying. The cost per dog is $70. We are often congratulated for our rescue efforts, but very few help us financially to continue.

We work with volunteers that are in the harshest areas of the Rio grande valley! They are always finding strays, injured dogs and dogs in dire need. Thankfully we have awesome rescue partners that accept them and we are able to find temporary fosters in the area, arrange transport for their safety. Thank you to forgotten ones for helping us with this boy!

Freedom is experienced differently by everyone. Some are terrified. Some are confused. Others are thrilled and trusting. But everyone understands what almost happened. But with hard work and determination all the dogs from the small south Texas shelter networked Tuesday are now safe with Furever Safe Rescue! This is and was not easy and they are just starting their journey. Please donate for their medical care via PayPal at

Their smiles have been erased. The first two puppies were euthanized already in a matter of two hours. And the others are next. Most are puppies. Waiting in a kill pound for their turn at the inevitable. The needle that is going to end their lives! They desperately need rescues and fosters before they are killed too! Pm if you can help!

Transport available to San Antonio, Austin or Dallas

Blonde and her siblings were found last week. It took a lot of team effort to get this group safe! Her family was hit by a car causing her to lose her mother and sibling. Her two siblings and her survived. Blonde was so injured she left to hide. It’s now been found out that they are also dealing with hypertrophic Osteodystrophy. A painful bone disease! If they had not been picked up, they would have suffered for months!! Please help Rescue PAC with their medical care!

Please donate for them at Venmo or rescuepac.com

His name is Puppy. Three pounds, 6 weeks old and received a blood transfusion due to severe anemia. His blood count was so low that he was having seizures as a result. All of his siblings died from simple fleas and hookworms. He was not expected to survive on day one. After living under a house for weeks, Puppy knew how to fight and managed to survive after a week of hospitalization! He is a survivor! I do not think his name will last long, and will need a new name to fit him!
