We will do a better and more thorough update , but we wanted to share how amazing all of these dogs are. The adults are gentle and calm, especially considering they lived their life on a ranch with no contact with other people. All the dogs were extremely scared and nervous , but it's to be expected.
We have one more amazing volunteer hauling the senior donkey and two horses and driving through the night. None of this would have been possible without the tireless work of our fosters, volunteers , networkers, transporters, and social media volunteers, as well as the love and support from the animal rescue community.
Aubree , an amazing young rescuer , is fostering one of the labs, who is showing what an amazing dog he's proving to be in such a short time. A total turn around from the shaking , extremely scared and timid dog we saw today as he was being loaded up.
This is why DAR doesn't do evaluations on location to determine if a dog is "worth saving". To evaluate dogs in an environment like that is unfair and not a true show of their character. This sweet boy is completely different within a few hours of feeling safe and secure with a kind loving person.
All dogs deserve a chance and a home.
Send prayers and safe travels to our volunteer spending the night driving to get the senior equine babies to their new forever family to live out their golden years
Good night and good morning, you guys did it.

P.S. if you would like to foster one of the sweet adult dogs, a few dogs have to be shuffled because their foster family could only do it on a temporary basis. Please message us if you can foster , anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We know the holidays are tough , but we can move dogs around for those that plan to travel if you can only commit to a short time.
