Donations needed!

Hello everyone, we had a mishap this morning. Mohawk cut his side on a sharp kennel wire. We are in need of a large dog kennel if anyone can donate. He’s getting stitches today at Animal Medical Clinic… we could really use some support!

Meet Captain: Your Future Best Pal!

Captain is a special 3-year-old receiver, Certificate of Completion of Smart Paws Obedience Course!

Captain has patiently waited to find his forever home. His journey started in the rural woods of Georgia, where he and his litter mates were rescued by a kind-hearted family.
Captain was adopted as a young puppy by a couple, but as life changes Captain's previous pet parent, now pregnant, so did Captain's circumstances. Now, Captain is on the lookout for a new home where he can thrive as the only dog.
Captain has come a long way thanks to some dedicated training and the love of his foster mom Sheena. He's transformed from a stressed and anxious pup to a calm, happy boy who just needs the right environment to flourish.
Here's what you need to know:
🐾 Captain is a 3-year-old, who received a certificate of completion from Smart Paws Obedience Course.
🐾 He gets along well with cats, but he'd prefer to be the only dog in the house.
🐾 Captain is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention and give all his love to his new family.
Captain's heart is full of love, and he's just waiting to share it with the right person or family. If you or someone you know is looking for a loyal, well-behaved companion, Captain could be the perfect match!
Please SHARE this post to help Captain find his FOREVER home. If you're interested in meeting Captain or learning more about him, send us a message. Let's find Captain the loving home he deserves! ❤️

Last week, we faced quite a wild ride with a tropical storm that danced through our neighborhood. While we're grateful it wasn't worse, it left its mark on our fence — and Princess, our ever-curious rescue dog, sees it as a new challenge!

The storm may have rattled our sturdy old fence, but it couldn't dampen our spirits. I have been ill this week but Berrys has already been cleaning up the property, it was a big mess with all the limbs and debris everywhere. As Princess eyes the leaning panels in the fence with curiosity, it's clear the wheels are tuning in her head! 🐶🌪️

Oh, sweet human! It's me, Beth, your curious Catahoula mixed companion, with my speckled coat and big, soulful eyes. I've been watching you closely, wondering why our adventures have paused lately. You haven't taken me exploring in a whole week! I've missed our walks and sniffing new scents together.

Lately, though, I've noticed something different about you. You seem to cough a bit, and you've been lying down more than usual. It makes me worry because I can't fetch happiness like I used to. Maybe we can cuddle up together, and I'll keep you warm with my fuzzy coat. Let's take it slow and get better together, so we can soon go on more amazing adventures!

I found myself sitting in my studio, with thoughts of a certain girl on my mind. A message popped up on my phone, and I was greeted with the sight of a smiling face.

It's heartbreaking to think about the fate of animals in animal control/shelters, especially those surrendered by their owners. Often owners surrenders are the first to be euthanized for lack of space.
Not all are as lucky as Beth, she had many guardian angels by her side.

26/07/2024

All the animal shelters/rescues I am familiar with are currently at capacity. Can anyone offer assistance or recommend a solution?

“Hi Josie, would you know of any cat rescues, person moving to England has 2 handicapped cats”

We are on our way!

I had to scramble and figure a place to keep Beth out of Animal Control and while I finish chores. Her foster doesn’t get off work until 4:30
No room means just that, no space available.
Thankful for this studio space.

Hanging out in here while I finish chores then we head to St Augustine to meet Beth’s foster.
Thanks again to all. You just never know who will see the post. Sharing is caring and does help.

This precious girl will not be going to a rural county animal control!!!

From the bottom of my heart,
THANK YOU!
-------
Beth will be taken to Animal Control TODAY🚨.
Putnam County, FL.

I am experiencing a mix of sadness, frustration, and concern for Beth's well-being. The situation is understandably distressing, especially knowing the challenges of finding a good home for her in a rural area with limited resources. It's tough when circumstances force owners to surrender their pets, and it's heartbreaking to see Beth face the uncertainty of an animal control (located at the landfill) environment.
We are full and have a dog in short-term foster who no one has shown interest in.
Putting this out again hoping the right person will see this.
Please if you can help Beth really needs a savior right now!

My Dear Human,
I see that you are crying, for it is my moment to leave. Don't cry, please. I want to explain some things to you.
You're sad because I left, but I'm glad I met you.
How many dogs and cats and birds like me die daily without meeting someone special like you?
I know it saddens you my departure, but I had to go now.
I want to ask you not to blame yourself for anything. I heard you sobbing that you should have done something else for me. Don't say that, you've done a lot for me! Without you I would have known nothing of the beauty I carry with me today.
You must know that we animals live the present intensely and we are very wise: we enjoy every little thing every day, and forget the bad past quickly.
Our lives begin when we know love, the same love you gave me, my angel without wings and two legs.
Know that even if you find an animal that is seriously injured, and that you only have a little bit of time in this world, you provide a huge service by accompanying you in your final transition.
None of us likes to be alone, except when we realize it's time to leave.
Maybe for you it's not so important that one of you is next to us caressing us and holding our paw, helps us go in peace.
No more crying, please. I'll be happy. I have in memory the name you gave me, the warmth of your house that in this time became mine. I take the sound of your voice talking to me, even though I don't always understand what you were saying to me.
I carry in my heart every caress you gave me.
Everything you did was very valuable to me and I thank you endlessly, I don't know how to tell you, because I don't speak your language, but surely in my eyes you could see my gratitude.
I'm just gonna ask for two favors. Wash your face and start smiling.
Remember how good we live together these moments, remember the antics I made to cheer you up.
Relive like me all the good we share in this time.
And do not say you will not adopt another animal, because you have suffered a lot from my departure. Without you I would not live the beauties I lived.
Please don't do this! There are many like me waiting for someone like you.
Give them what you gave me, please, they need it just like I needed you.
Don't keep the love you have to give, for fear of suffering.
Follow my advice, cherish the good you share with each of us, recognizing that you are an angel to us animals, and that without people like you our life would be harder than sometimes it is.
Follow your noble task, now it's up to me to be your angel.
I will accompany you in your path and help you help others like me.
I will talk to other animals who are here with me, I will tell you everything you have done for me and I will point and say proudly: “that's my family.”
Tonight, when you look at the sky and see a blinking star I want you to know that it's me flashing an eye; warning you that I arrived well and telling you "thank you for the love you gave me".
I say goodbye now not saying "goodbye", but "see you later.”
There is a special sky for people like you, the sky where we go and life rewards us by making us meet there.
I'll be waiting for you!"
