Needing an Emergency Foster for about a month.

Captainess is one of our newest strays that came in from Carroll County Animal Control. Unfortunately she is heartworm positive. We have already started her treatment and she needs a quiet place to rest . Too much activity after a treatment can kill her. Please call me ASAP 765-490-8158 if you are willing to foster this sweet girl. Yes, you have to be approved first.

She gets along with all people and dogs (however she cant be playing right now). She chases the cat. Has never hurt the cat but does chase him. She is 25lbs

Christmas wishes!!
I feel like we always ask for money and I don’t want to beg, but we are in need of some help. We have had some funds come in but we are also the ones that say yes so many times when everyone else is saying no. Currently, we have 2 houses FULL of dogs as well as one whole upstairs designed for cats.
The 3 adult dogs and 5 puppies we just took in last week all need to be vetted. The 4 year old male has to have double eye surgery, the 2 year old male has to have his head x-rayed because it’s not shaped right. Not sure if he was born like that or got it from a beating (we were told the dogs had been beat and never been to the vet). We will post them soon.

Also, our rescue van got stuck 4 times today! Talk about embarrassing. We desperately need new tires. We can’t rescue any animals if we can't get to them.

So will you help our Christmas wishes come true? To end this year with bills paid, new tires on van, and dogs and cats fully vetted and in new homes.

Please like and share. Let's try to reach 3000 followers by the end of the year as well.

The rescue needs your help!

We know times are hard for everyone because we experience the everyday struggles too. During these difficult times, we're also trying to manage a rescue for those in need. We pick up strays; help the abused, abandoned, and sick animals; distribute pet reserves and food to owners who have fallen on hard times; and supply medical services. The calls needing our assistance don't end. There is a desperate need for our rescue but we can't reiterate this enough: we do NOT receive county, city, government, or federal funding. Many times we use our own money. But this burden isn't ours alone and shouldn't fall on our shoulders alone.

We are busting at the seams with animals. More animals means more food consumption, more supplies and utilities being used, and medical services being rendered. There are a couple of fundraiser events coming up in December but we need help NOW. We currently have no money coming in and have nothing of our own left to give. Erica will always put the animals first and used her mortgage money to help lower the vet bill so the animals could be seen. The bank needs their mortgage payment. Utilities need to be paid. The rescue van needs tires and gas. Animals still need shots / boosters and to be treated by the vet.

The rescue is our passion. Our purpose. Our contribution to our community and society. To help the animals who have so bravely overcome obsticles standing in their way with so much love and loyalty left to give. To help the lost and lonely animals find loving and caring homes of their own. To help those individuals keep and care for their fur family members. Here is our plea:

If you're thinking about adopting an animal - please consider one of ours. We have several dogs and cats available for adoption.
If you've adopted an animal and haven't paid the adoption fee yet - now is the time to do so.
If you support our cause in any way, shape, or form - please consider making a donation. No amount is too small.
If you can't make a monetary donation at this time - please please PLEASE like / share our page and please vote for us to share in a $95,000 grant this month at https://mygivingcircle.org/erica-s-rescue-and-humane-society/vote

🙏HUGE THANK YOU!!🙏

A huge thank you goes out to a handful of individuals who rallied together to get our rescue a new kennel that was desperately needed: Leanna Schwarzkopf, Jeff Roper, John Byrum, Davon Miller, and Jessica Kuhr.

Bags (a lot of them) full of old blankets and towels were donated and delivered by White County Sheriffs Office.

Amanda Arnett and her husband were able to fix the once broken kennel!

Jessica Swinhart made an awesome raffle basket using donated items. We’re hoping to make more for future fundraising events.

Because of these hero’s, our rescue prevails.
While you may think that you can’t make a difference or your donation would be too futile, we’re here to tell you EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS and WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING! Please understand that our rescue does NOT receive any government, state, or county assistance. We run SOLELY on donations, volunteers, and community support.

Rescues are in constant need of food (puppy, kitten, wet, dry, cat, dog, pig), puppy pads, toys, bedding, preventatives, etc. We will also need new tires for the rescue van and right now we have a really big outstanding vet bill at Horizon. We have animals that can’t be seen at the vet yet due to the roughly $1500 balance: Sabrina and her pups, the endless amount of kittens we have, a new intake we’re calling Captainess, and Tobias are just a few that need vet appointments that are on hold until our bill goes down.

So clean out your closets, check your pocketbooks, rally up the troops, start a fun competitive donation game at work, start your own animal food or toy drive, give what you can or if you can’t give then at least spread the word: like, share, or tag our page.

Today Queen Romanda and her babies were seen at the vet. Queen received her first round of vaccines. The kittens will be four weeks old this week. They are all doing well and are healthy!

Gia (our mama mastiff) and Buzz (our feral dog we have been working with) also went into the vet to get fixed and received their booster shots.
Everyone was so impressed with how far Buzz has come. Sarah Henson has been working wonders with him.
Now, if we can just get Woody to follow suit...

Anyway, we have a couple more appointments this week for a few of the other animals and you all know what that means....it's donation asking time.

Between the vet care we had last week (Gigi went in multiple times for complications with her feeding tube and four puppies and two cats got fixed) and this week, our vet bill is sitting at $1900. We need to get our bill under $1000 before we can take the other animals in this week. Can you help?? Even if a little. If everyone donated a little, it all adds up to make a huge difference.

Donations can be made directly to the vet's office by calling 765 564 3400 and telling them you would like to donate to the rescue bill.

Look who is eating on her own!! ❤️ Gigi said she had enough with the feeding tube and is chowing down food like it’s going out of style! So proud of her 🥰 Hopefully now she’ll gain some of her weight back while her jaw is still healing.

Buzz has had a lot of play time with other dogs lately. All part of getting him more confident and socialized. He’s doing a great job soaking up the sun, walking on a leash, getting exercise, and being awesome 😎 he still gets spooked but he’s come so far already! He is scheduled to be neutered this upcoming week so he can work on in house socialization ❤️

Momma Sabrina is doing a wonderful job!! She never goes far from her babies and makes sure they’re all where they need to be. She started a new medicine to help rid her of her kennel cough that’s still lingering.

And three little kittens were found this morning. Teenage boys that were out playing found them and brought them right in. I’m so thankful that they knew we were a safe place for them!! ❤️ We believe there is one more that we will keep an eye out for and try to obtain. Thank you boys!
