🚨 CRITICAL RESCUE EMERGENCY: Our main transport vehicle is down & we are struggling! 🚨

Where do we even start? We are coming to our community completely honest and vulnerable today because we have hit a massive roadblock.

One of our main rescue vehicles—the one we rely on every single day to pull our supply trailer for donation runs and safely transport animals to and from the vet—is officially down for the count.
It failed to pass inspection, and right now, we are barely trying to stay afloat. To make this vehicle legally roadworthy and safe again, it desperately needs:

• New Brakes

• New Rotors

• New Tires

• An Oil Change (in the worst way!)

• The Cost of the Inspection itself

We have spent the last few weeks trying to rearrange our budget, juggle funds, and push things around to make it work. But the reality is, we cannot move our other utility and animal bills around anymore than we already have.

Why this is a crisis:
Without this specific vehicle, we cannot pull our heavy supply trailers, nor can we get our animals to the vet. We have several crucial upcoming veterinary appointments scheduled for our resident cats and dogs that are coming due, and right now, we cannot get them there until this vehicle is back on the road.

✨ THE GOOD NEWS & WHAT WE NEED:

We are incredibly blessed that a wonderful mechanic has stepped up and volunteered to donate 100% of the labor to do the work for free! However, they cannot cover the cost of the parts, and as we all know, parts are not cheap.

We need to raise the funds to buy the parts immediately so our volunteer mechanic can get to work. If you would be willing to help us acquire these parts, help cover the inspection fee, or donate directly toward this vehicle emergency, please send us a direct message right away.

Update: we have been able to raise half of the money needed for the extra pallets that we have gotten. We are short $350. We have till this Fri to pay the bill. The animals are fully covered with essentials for this winter minus dry cat food and litter. If anyone can help us get the remaining $350 we would be forever grateful.

🚚 PALLET RUN SUCCESS: We are officially set for winter, but we need help covering a surprise $608! ❄️🐾

Today was a massive, busy day for the books, and we are feeling beyond blessed! We went to pick up our scheduled supply pallets to carry the rescue through the winter, but while we were there, an incredible opportunity dropped into our laps.
On top of what we already had lined up, we were able to acquire 7 additional pallets of vital pet food and supplies!

Here is the incredible haul we brought home today:

• 3 Pallets of Freeze-Dried Dog Food (That's what they had available, and it is a fantastic high-quality option for our pups!)

• Pallets of Wet Cat & Dog Food

• 2 Miscellaneous Pallets packed with different-sized crates and other essential rescue gear.

• 2 "Mystery Boxes" Pallets from a couple of weeks ago!

Unfortunately, the supply center still did not have any pallets of dry cat food or cat litter available today. They are hoping to get those in within the next two weeks, so we will keep our eyes peeled.

🚨 OUR CURRENT NEED: $608 🚨
While these extra 7 pallets are a complete lifesaver that will officially secure our animals' needs all through the brutal winter months, jumping on the opportunity required us to put out more money than we planned. The extra pallets cost us an additional $608.

Our volunteers worked incredibly hard to load, transport, and unload this mountain of supplies today, and now we are hoping our community can help us cross the finish line. If anyone can help us raise some or all of the $608 to cover what we put out today, we would be forever grateful!

❄️🐱 WINTER EMERGENCY RESCUE APARTMENTS: Calling All Builders & Supply Donors for Local Stray Cat Colonies! 🐱❄️

Winter is just around the corner, and the freezing temperatures are a major threat to the outdoor community cats in our area. We have had several local colony caretakers reach out to us desperately needing outdoor winter shelters to keep their colonies safe and warm.

Last year, an incredible donor made and gave us several pre-built winter shelters. When we distributed them to the colony caretakers, they were beyond grateful for the generosity—and those shelters literally saved lives.

This year, we want to scale up and help even more cats, but we need to build them from scratch. We are looking for two things right now: Supplies and Volunteers!

🛠️ SUPPLIES WE NEED DONATED:

• Large Plastic Storage Totes / Tubs (With lids, roughly 18 to 30 gallons—these form the waterproof outer shell)

• Straw Bales (CRITICAL: We need actual straw, not hay! Hay absorbs moisture and freezes, whereas straw repels moisture and keeps cats warm and dry

• Styrofoam Coolers / Shipping Boxes (To fit inside the plastic totes as the insulation layer)

• Mylar Emergency Blankets / Space Blankets (To line the inside and reflect the cats' body heat)

• Heavy-Duty Duct Tape or Gorilla Tape (To seal edges and hold everything securely together)

🪚 CALLING ALL BUILDERS & VOLUNTEERS:
If we can gather these supplies, would anyone be willing to help us build these shelters? This is an amazing weekend project for families, scout troops, handy individuals, or a group of friends who want to make a massive difference for local animals. We can provide instructions on how to safely cut the entrance holes and insulate them!
If you have supplies to drop off, want to volunteer your time to build, or have other great ideas for keeping our community cats warm this winter, please drop a comment below or send us a direct message right away!

Let’s pull together and make sure no kitty is left freezing in the dark this winter. Thank you all so much! 🐾❄️

One of our very long term dogs that is not able to be safely adopted is waiting for his turn to go into the vet to get his vaccines updated. He is happy to go for a ride in the car but he is not happy about the people walking past us to go inside. He loves all of us but he is not good with other people from the trauma that he has experienced. He enjoys the company of other dogs just not cats and other people. Butterbean is patiently waiting to go in and see the vet. He will be muzzled for his safety along with everyone else's. We dont cut corners when we know that our dogs have some issues that could put others in harms way. So for now we will enjoy the beautiful weather outside and patiently wait to go inside to see the vet...

🚨 CRITICAL SUPPLY ALERT: Dishwasher Pods, Paper Towels, & Gain Pods Needed Urgently! 🚨

Our daily operational supplies have hit a critical low point once again, and we need our amazing community's immediate help to restock our shelves so we can keep the rescue clean, sanitary, and smelling fresh!

With so many animals in our care, our cleaning routines run around the clock, and we have officially run dry on several essentials.

🧼 WHAT WE DESPERATELY NEED RIGHT NOW:

• Dishwasher Pods: We need these urgently to constantly wash and sanitize the dogs' and cats' food and water bowls to keep them perfectly clean and safe.

• Paper Towels: We are officially down to our very last roll for the entire kennel house!

• Laundry Detergent (Gain Pods): We do mountains of animal laundry daily. We specifically use the Gain Pods because they are the absolute best at lifting that stubborn dog smell completely out of the heavy bedding and linens for both the cats and dogs.

If you can donate any of these specific items, please drop a comment below or send us a direct message right away so we can coordinate a drop-off or pickup.

You can also check our updated Amazon Wishlist to order them directly to our door, or if you'd prefer to donate funds so we can run out and grab them locally today, you can use our links below:

Update: we were off by a very little bit to reach our goal but yesterday due to the heavy rains and storms that were coming through we had to reschedule until next Fri. But we did have to buy some dry cat food to carry us through as well as a few things of litter and 4 bags of dog food because we would have had all of that if we were able to pick up the pallets on Fri. So we are just about $200 shy as we had to buy 4 buckets of litter that was almost $100 dollars right there and 4 bags of dog food was $80 and we got 3 bags of cat food to carry us through for a week until we can pick up. Sorry for the late update as we were trying to figure everything out and with working it created delays on updating. We apologize for the inconvenience.

🚨 URGENT WINTER SUPPLY OPPORTUNITY: Help Us Raise $450 by This Friday! 🚨

Community, here is the deal currently. We have a massive opportunity this Friday, October 16, to pick up a few more pallets of absolutely critical items for the animals in our care.

However, we have a very tight deadline. We need to raise at least $450 by Friday to obtain these pallets.

These pallets are packed with food and other supplies that we desperately need right now. Securing them wouldn't just hold us over for a little bit—it will officially carry our entire rescue through this upcoming winter for all of our animals.
If anyone can help us cover the cost of these pallets, we will be in a fantastic position to keep everyone warm, full, and cared for during the coldest months of the year. We cannot capitalize on this opportunity without your immediate help!

🐾 HOW TO DONATE:
If you can spare even a few dollars to help us hit our $450 goal by Friday morning, please send your support directly through our official, secure links:

💳 PayPal Direct Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=WY95RXKMBWVRN

No amount is too small, and every single dollar goes directly toward securing this winter lifeline for our dogs and cats. If you can't donate, please SHARE this post like crazy—we only have a couple of days to make this happen! Thank you all so much! 🐾❄️

It was a team effort but xena is content and living life and enjoying every bit of it...

Update: the family just contacted us to inform us that Nova has went to a new home with a family who is a vet tech and is no longer looking for her forever home.. thank yo everyone who showed interest and for sharing for Nova.. happy tails girl

🐾 COURTESY POST: 15-WEEK-OLD WHITE HUSKY NOVA NEEDS AN ACTIVE HOME! 🐾

We are doing a courtesy post to help a local family find a forever home for their gorgeous puppy, Nova. Please note: Nova is NOT in our custody at the rescue. We are completely beyond capacity and have absolutely no physical space, but we promised to help this family screen for the perfect fit!

Nova is a stunning 15-week-old white Husky who is a total bundle of fun, but she needs a specific type of home to thrive.

About Nova:

• Personality: She is incredibly playful, happy, and has that signature high-energy Husky stamina!

• Friends: She is wonderful with other cats, dogs, and kids.

• Home Requirements: Nova absolutely needs a fenced-in yard OR a highly active family who can provide her with more daily exercise than her current family is able to give her. She would do best in a home that already has a four-legged playmate to help her run around and burn off her puppy energy.

• Kids: The family recommends a home with children over 10 years old simply due to her hyperactivity and the potential for her to accidentally knock over smaller toddlers.

• Vetting: Nova is not spayed yet and is not current on her vaccines. However, our rescue is going to work directly with the family to get both of these things done ASAP!

HOW THE ADOPTION PROCESS WORKS:
Because we want to ensure Nova goes to an environment that can handle her high-energy needs, we are helping the family screen applicants.

👉 If you fit Nova's needs and want to make her part of your family, please send us a direct message! Once we chat and can make sure it’s an appropriate match for her, we will immediately put you in touch with her family to finalize the next steps. Please SHARE this post to help this beautiful Husky pup find her running partner! 🐾✨

🐾 SHEPHERD FAMILY UPDATE:
Big Milestones, Houdini Antics, and Fosters Needed for the Pups! 🐾

We have some amazing updates to share on our Shepherd family of four! First things first—they are all doing absolutely great, and their true personalities are really shining through.

We’ve learned that they are an incredibly clever and highly dog-friendly bunch, though they’ve kept us on our toes with some serious escape-artist antics!

• Dad: He is a total shadow who wants to be with a human at all times. In fact, he refuses to be away from his people and will scale an 8-foot fence like a human just to get to you! 🧗‍♂️

• Mom & "Short Nose" Pup: This duo is tightly bonded and figured out how to either scale the fence or dig right under it to escape their enclosures.

• "Long Nose" Pup: She is the chill one of the group! She couldn't care less about escaping and is perfectly content relaxing in her space.

All four of them are exceptionally dog-friendly. During their various escape adventures, they ended up romping around with the foster’s personal dogs and did perfectly fine! They even took a little neighborhood stroll together once, but true to their loyal nature, they came right back on their own.

To make sure everyone gets enough to eat without getting pushy over food, we have been managing their spaces carefully. And today, we hit a massive milestone: Mom and Dad officially went to a foster home together! 🎉

🚨 URGENT: SEPARATE FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOMES NEEDED FOR THE PUPPIES! 🚨

Now that Mom and Dad are settled, we are looking to place each of the two puppies into separate foster or foster-to-adopt homes. These pups absolutely need to be separated from each other now so they can truly learn to thrive and grow independent.

About the Puppies:

• Age: Estimated to be around 7 months old.

• Vetting: Both are already fully spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and on flea and tick medication.

• Temperament: They are good dogs who have come a remarkably long way from how fearful they were at the beginning. However, they still need some patient work to fully open up, learn to trust, and build confidence.

• Training Needs: We do not believe they have ever lived inside a house before, so their new fosters will need to help them work on basic housebreaking.

If you have room in your home and a heart full of patience to help one of these gorgeous Shepherd pups learn how to be a cherished family dog, please step up for them!

👉 Interested in fostering or adopting one of the pups? Send us a direct message right now! Please SHARE this post to help these babies take the next big step in their rescue journey! ❤️🐾
