💛 DAY ONE… WOW. JUST WOW. 💛
We are sitting here tonight completely humbled.
Blown away.
A little emotional, honestly.
THANK YOU to every single bidder who showed up on Day One of our Race to Rescue 16K Auction.
Your excitement, your comments, your early bids… you lit this thing UP. 🔥🐾
And here’s the wild part —
👉 There are still SO MANY incredible items left to feature.
Some of these pieces don’t even photograph as beautifully as they look in real life.
Some of these donations came from hearts so big it’s hard to put into words.
Every item has a story, and every bid genuinely helps save lives.
We say this often, but tonight it feels extra true:
We aren’t like the big rescues.
We’re a small, family-and-youth-run rescue.
(And yes — we have officially adopted Melissa Kehler . 😆💛)
We don’t want to be big.
We want to be special.
We want to do things:
✨ With integrity
✨ With responsibility
✨ With respect
✨ With gratitude
✨ With heart
We want to attract the right kind of humans — the ones who believe in kindness, community, and showing up for animals who cannot ask for help themselves.
But…
To hit Will’s 16K birthday goal, we need your help in a different way now:
👉 Please share the auction.
👉 Tag friends who love local businesses, shopping, gifting, or saving animals.
👉 Tell people about the items you love.
Your bid matters.
Your voice matters.
Your share might be the reason a kitten gets spayed, or a bonded pair gets a second chance, or medical bills get covered when a crisis hits.
From our small rescue family to yours…
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for making Day One amazing.
Let’s keep going. 💛🐾
Auction runs until SUNDAY, Dec 14 at 9pm — keep bidding, keep sharing, and let’s make Will’s 16th birthday miracle happen. 🎉🐾
