I am posting with an update in regard to the status of Secondhand Soulmates rescue. Early this year, our board of directors voted in agreement to dissolve the rescue.
The challenges we faced are challenges many rescues in our area and across the nation face, a lack of a sustainable support system. Unfortunately, this led to the entirety of our operations falling on the shoulders of just a few individuals. When faced with the problem of rescue/life balance for those individuals our viable options were to reduce the standard of care, attention, and time dedicated to rescue business or close the rescue and we opted for closure. The 60+ dogs we helped through Secondhand Soulmates all left permanent marks on our hearts and we remember each and every one of them vividly .We have nothing but gratitude for all of our adopters and could not have helped nearly as many dogs without the incredibly skilled foster families we worked with.
Thank you to all of our supporters, adopters, and foster homes for everything you did with us to help dogs over the years. You make the world a better place for dogs(and people).
