💚 HOLIDAY AUCTION — THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS 💚
We don’t even know where to begin… so we’ll start with thank you.
Thank you to every single person who bid, shared, commented, tagged a friend, donated a basket, or supported us through this Holiday Auction. This season has been incredibly heavy for our rescue, and showing up hasn’t always been easy — but you showed up anyway. Because of you, dogs who had nowhere else to go will receive food, medical care, warmth, and a real chance at a better life.
This auction wasn’t just baskets and bids.
It was hope.
It was community.
It was love showing up when it mattered most.
From the bottom of our hearts — we are beyond grateful for you. 💚🐾
