Erica's Rescues & Humane Society, Delphi, IN (2026)

05/09/2026

I want to thank everyone who stepped in and helped over the last couple of days. From bringing food and supplies, to sitting with Rose (momma dog), to just reaching out with a kind word.
By the next morning Rose had had
10 PUPPIES!!

I do apologize for my last post as it came out of desperation and feeling so overwhelmed.

I have learned in the last few days...I cant expect people to know what is going on without me telling them. I also can't wait til the last minute to do so.

Again, I try not to boo hoo on Facebook about myself, How I feel or how I'm doing. I try to keep posts on the animals. However at this time i need to share that i have realized over the last 3 weeks of what all I am going through in my body that I need to stop at what we have right now. I can not take on any more animals at this time. Not until I fully know what's going on with my health.

Please understand...me stopping intake at this time does not mean we don't still need help!
We currently have 25 dogs/puppies and 17 cats/kittens that are still in our care. They still need food, vet care, spays and neuters, prevention meds, etc...

I appreciate everyone's support and understanding While I go through this time.
I have several appointments with different specialists over the next few weeks and I will try to keep you updated.

Until then, please enjoy the future posts that Cassy and Bella make with updates about the puppies and kittens.

Help!

We, or I guess I should say I need some help. I try not to ask or beg too much from people but I am majorly struggling right now.

For those of you who don't know, I spent the majority of last week in the hospital with several several problems. When I was released 3 and a half days later (i can only assume my insurance said kick her out) I was still not well. And since Friday night when I got home I have only had 1 good day. Something is still not right...
Since then I still have chest and stomach pains. I take nitro but its not helping. I am so dizzy and my head has so much pressure in it that I most of the time wish someone would blow a hole in it.

I dont care and im not worried about me...what i DO CARE and WORRY about is the animals in my direct care. I feel like I am letting them down. I have asked for help from my normal volunteers with very little help. I am not complaining about any of them as everyone has their own lives and volunteering is exactly that..."help if you have time". That is why I am now asking openly.

Rose is in labor as I write this. She does not want to be left. I am supposed to take a dog to the vet to have staples removed in an hour and a half. I am also needing to go get dog, puppy, cat and kitten food as we are so low. However my head hurts and im dizzy so it makes it hard to drive. We also have very little funds to buy those things.

Im told not to complain or share my problems with the world but dang, I need someone to care about the animals as much as I do and take it seriously. I cant be the only one....its literally killing me.

If someone can take the dog to the vet for the staple removal, or get the food and supplies we need and drop them off....or simply come sit with a momma in labor while I try to take care of the other stuff that would be a help.

Please message me.

🌹 INTRODUCING ROSE: A LIFE SAVED JUST IN TIME 🌹

Today, we are feeling incredibly grateful. Meet Rose. 🐾
Rose came to us today from another county with a heartbreaking story. She is heavily pregnant and "ready to pop" at any moment. The shelter she was at reached out to us with a desperate plea: they didn't have the setup or space to handle a mother and newborns safely. If we hadn't said "yes," Rose and her babies were facing euthanasia. 💔
We couldn't let that happen. It wouldn't have been safe for her or her little ones to be born in that environment, so we swooped her up and brought her into the Erica’s Rescue family. Now, she is safe, comfortable, and ready to bring her puppies into a world where they are already loved.

🐱 AND THE KITTENS ARE ARRIVING! 🐱
As if Rose wasn't enough excitement, kitten season is officially here. We have already had 9 kittens come in today alone! our nursery is filling up fast, and as you can imagine, this means our need for supplies and funds is skyrocketing. 🍼🐾

🙏 HOW YOU CAN HELP ROSE & THE KITTENS
Taking in a pregnant dog and nearly a dozen kittens in one day is a massive undertaking for our 100% donation-funded rescue. We need your help to provide medical care, high-quality food, and supplies for these new families.

🛠️ WE ARE BACK IN ACTION: VAN FIXED & ERICA IS HOME! 🚐❤️

We have some incredible updates to share that prove you just can’t keep a good team down! After a week of hurdles, we are officially moving forward.

THE RESCUE RIG IS ROLLING! 🚐💨
First, a massive "Thank You" to everyone who donated to our Brake Challenge. Because of your generosity, our van is officially safe and back on the road! We owe a huge debt of gratitude to:
🛠️ Jason Fuller for the expert inspection.
🛠️ Joey Marchant from Renegade Rydes for the hard work replacing the brakes.
Because of these guys, our animals will be riding in safety to our next big event!

WELCOME HOME, ERICA! 🏠🙌
We also want to apologize to anyone who missed us at the recent Lowe’s event. Erica was recently hospitalized, which put a temporary pause on some of our operations. We are so relieved to share that she is finally back home and resting up! She is eager to get back to the mission she loves so much.

🌟 DON’T FORGET OUR CURRENT PUP STARS 🌟

Now that we’re back on our feet, we need to find homes for these special residents who are currently staying in our garage (which is still needing some repairs after the recent fire!):

• DENVER (Sponsored/Free Adoption!): An adventurer who just needs a home with no cats.

• GIA (Sponsored/Free Adoption!): A beautiful girl who needs to be your one-and-only pet.

• SAMMIE: Still looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt hero!

🙏 HOW YOU CAN HELP US JUMPSTART THE WEEK
Between the van repairs, the garage fire, Erica’s hospital stay, and an emergency vet visit for a swallowed toy—Erica’s Rescue has taken some hits lately. Your support is what keeps us standing!

🚨 URGENT: SPONSORED ADOPTIONS & FOSTER HEROES NEEDED! 🚨

Life at Erica’s Rescue has been a whirlwind lately. Between successful adoption events and a terrifying fire in our backyard that damaged our garage, our team is stretched thin. To top it off, we just survived an emergency vet visit for a swallowed toy! 🚑💨

Because of the damage to the garage where some of our pups are staying, we need to move these residents into loving homes as soon as possible. To help make that happen, we have an incredible announcement: Gia and Denver are officially SPONSORED! This means their adoption fees are covered (FREE) for an applicant with an approved application. 🎁🐾

🌟 MEET THE KENNEL CREW 🌟

DENVER (Sponsored Adoption!):
Our handsome adventurer is ready for his forever! Denver is a soul who loves life, but he has one firm boundary: No cats, please! He’s looking for a home where he can be your number one guy.

GIA (Sponsored Adoption!):
Gia is a stunning girl who wants to be the center of your universe. She is a true "Queen Bee" and needs to be the only pet in the home. If you have room in your heart for one very special girl, Gia is waiting for you!

SAMMIE (Foster or Foster-to-Adopt):
Sweet Sammie is still looking for her break! We are searching for a foster or a foster-to-adopt home for her. Fostering is a great way to save a life without the long-term commitment if you aren't ready to adopt yet.

🙏 HOW YOU CAN HELP US RECOVER
Between the garage repairs and the emergency vet bills, we are in desperate need of your support. We are a 501(c)(3) and 100% donation-funded.

We need to move these pups quickly but safely. Please reach out if you can help!

❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU TO LOWE’S OF LAFAYETTE! ❤️

Our hearts are so full after today’s adoption event! We want to send a massive shout-out to the incredible staff at Lowe’s in Lafayette. 🛠️🐾
To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful—offering a level of support that truly stands out. It is so refreshing to work with a team that cares as much about these animals as we do!

THE RESULTS ARE IN:

Because of this event, two cats and one puppy found their forever families today! 🐱🐱🐶 Each one of these placements is a life changed forever, and we couldn't be happier.

TO OUR VOLUNTEERS:

Once again, our volunteers showed up and worked their tails off. From transport to handling the animals and talking to the public, you are the reason these events even happen. Thank you for your tireless dedication.
Between the recent support from An Extra Scoop in Monticello and now Lowe’s in Lafayette, we are feeling extremely blessed. Community partnerships are the lifeblood of Erica's Rescue!

🚐 THE MISSION CONTINUES

While we celebrated today, we are still working hard to get the rescue van back on the road. We hope to have the brakes fixed and the tank filled by our next event so we can continue moving our animals safely.

🚐 THE "RESCUE RIG" NEEDS YOUR HELP! 🚐

Our rescue van is officially grounded! We rely on this van to get our dogs and cats to safety and to our adoption events, but the brakes have finally given up. We are so incredibly grateful to our amazing volunteers who stepped up today with their personal vehicles to transport our animals—you are the reason the show could go on! 🙌
However, we need our van back on the road safely for our next big event at Lowe’s.

🛠️ THE $400 BRAKE & GAS CHALLENGE 🛠️

We are posting the screenshots of the exact brake kit we need from Amazon. Our goal is to raise $400 to cover the cost of the brakes and get a full tank of gas to keep our mission moving.

Can you help us get the wheels turning again?
• 40 people giving $10...
• 20 people giving $20...
• 8 people giving $50...
..and we are back in business! No amount is too small, and every single dollar goes directly toward getting this van safe for our animals.

🚨 MISSING DOG: BROCCOLI 🚨
PLEASE SHARE — DO NOT CHASE!

Our girl Broccoli is missing and we are desperate to get her home safely. She was being watched by a friend and is not familiar with the area, which means she is likely very scared and confused.

• 📍 LAST SEEN: At the Howard / Carroll County line (1200 W in Howard County on 00 NS).

• ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Broccoli is very SKITTISH. Please DO NOT CHASE, YELL, OR APPROACH HER. Chasing will only cause her to run further into danger.

• 🦺 IDENTIFIERS: She is wearing a green collar with a tag.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

If you see her, please do not try to catch her. Instead:

1. Note the exact time and location.

2. Note the direction she was heading.

3. Call/Message us immediately so we can get the owners to that location.

Let's bring Broccoli home! Please keep an eye out if you are in the Howard or Carroll County area.

🚐 DOLLY IS WAITING... BUT THE VAN IS STILL STUCK 💔

Meet Dolly. She is trying so hard to be the best girl, but like so many of our pups, she is ready for a break from the rescue walls. A "field trip" to an adoption event is exactly what she needs to find her forever family—but right now, we can’t get her there.

We haven't received any offers to look at our transport van yet, and donations for parts haven't come in.

When we are grounded due to vehicle issues or lack of funds, it’s the dogs who pay the price. They lose out on the vital socialization and community exposure they crave—the very things that help them succeed in their future homes. Being stuck at the rescue means they are missing the chance to meet you.

🔧 How You Can Get Dolly on the Road:

• The Mechanic Hero: We still need someone with mechanic experience to donate their time to check our brakes.

• The Part Sponsors: We need to raise funds to buy the parts once we know what’s wrong.

Please show Dolly some love by donating toward our van fund:

• Venmo: -Draper-6

• Cash App: $Ericasrescues

• PayPal: [email protected]

• Credit Card: Donate via Square

• Direct to Vet (Horizon Veterinary): 765-564-3400

🤝 We Need Hands-On Help, Too!
When we are low on volunteers, the socialization gap grows even wider. If you can’t fix a van, can you spare an hour to walk or sit with a dog like Dolly? It makes a world of difference to them.

📞 To volunteer, contact Cassondra Meier at 765-650-6647.

Please SHARE this post. Dolly is ready to see the world—let’s not let her down! 🐾🚐

🛠️ BIG NEWS & A SMALL HICCUP: We’re Heading to Lowe’s! 🛠️

We have some incredibly exciting news to share! Erica’s Rescues has been invited to participate in the adoption events at Lowe’s in Lafayette, Indiana! 🐾

Mark your calendars—we will be there on:

• April 18th

• April 25th

• May 2nd

We are so honored by this opportunity to find our pups their forever homes, but we’ve hit a bit of a snag. Our transport van needs some urgent brake work. We just had brand-new tires installed and we absolutely do not want to risk damaging them or—more importantly—risking the safety of our animals and volunteers on the road.

🔧 Can You Help?
We are looking for a local hero with mechanic experience who would be willing to donate their time to look at our brakes. If you can help us get back on the road safely, please reach out to us immediately!

We also need to raise funds to cover the cost of the parts. If you’d like to help sponsor our "Road to Lafayette," every dollar counts!

Ways to Donate for Van Parts & Vet Bills:

• Venmo: -Draper-6

• Cash App: $Ericasrescues

• Credit Card: Donate via Square

• Direct to Vet (Horizon Veterinary): 765-564-3400

• Mail: Erica's Rescues, P.O. BOX 132, Delphi, IN 46923

🤝 Join the Team!
We are always looking for helping hands to walk, socialize, and help us keep the rescue clean. If you want to make a direct impact on these animals' lives, we need you!
