Astrid is pending adoption.

Family visited the website, applied, and set up an appointment for today.

They met her and and decided she was a good match.

Super easy.

Astrid, born the second week of April, wants to know why her siblings have all been adopted but she hasnā€™t. She asked me, ā€œHave they seen my earsā€?

Today, she received her final round of vaccinations and is hoping that her forever home is right around the corner.

Astrid also wanted to remind me to post about $5 Dog Food and Vet Care Friday because I spaced it last week.

Hereā€™s the PayPal and Zelle info to donate:

How has 15 years gone by so quickly? If I knew how hard running a shelter/rescue/sanctuary would be when I started, I don't know if I would have committed to the work. Also, if I knew how fulfilling, how it would build my faith...I would have started many years before.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank all the followers who support the rescue in any way. With over 109K followers, some may assume that the rescue is heavily financially supported. Nope. There is a silent army in the background who donate almost every Friday, they donate bags of dog food, buy from the Amazon wish list, post an encouraging comment, and uplift the spirit in times of loss.

Thank you for being the foundation. The way-maker when dogs with serious injuries or illness were able to receive emergency vet care because you cared to help. Thank you for making an empty room feel full of love from afar by your words. Thanks also, to forgiving me when my patience and love for humans failed.

You are the saints. Not me.

You are the reason, the rescue is still going strong after 15 years. There wouldn't be a rescue, a farm, dog food, proper vet care, without the trust you've shown me. I take your support seriously.

I've been thinking about the years gone by. All the dogs who have passed. I suppose that's a part of it. The joy, the celebrations but the loss seems to be the most rememberable. It's always in the background. I haven't been the same person since Creed passed. You all understand. It's tough.

Well, before I start bawling my eyes out, THANK YOU for giving me your trust, kindness, and support.

It has been an absolute honor to run this rescue. God is Good.

AVAILABLE:

Megera arrived with 3 other dogs from Stockton, California and she is probably as perfect as they come.

Quiet, housebroken, calm, attentive, non-reactive to the other dogs. She prefers not to be left alone outside for very long. However, she has learned that her being outside is not for an extended time and a human is coming back. Iā€™ve noticed that she sometimes wanders the yard and had a hard time relaxing. This is likely due to still exploring and understanding her new environment.

I love her build. Sheā€™s a little short and stocky at about 65 pounds. She has the cutest feet. She approximately 5 years of age. Fully vetted.

Megera was out of time in California but now thatā€™s she here, sheā€™s patiently waiting for the perfect family.

No history with cats is known. She was recently spayed hence why she has shaved sections on her legs.

More pics and video coming.
