🦃 A Thanksgiving Love Letter to Our Community 🦃🧡
Today, as the sun rises and our staff quietly steps into the shelter to care for the animals who depend on us, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.
This week has shown us—once again—the incredible strength of our community.
You don’t just see what we do…
You stand beside us.
You cheer when our animals find homes.
You share their stories.
You donate.
You foster.
You volunteer.
You show up in ways that change lives every single day.
Every adoption we celebrated this week wasn’t just a happy ending.
It was a miracle.
It was hope.
It was one more animal spending Thanksgiving in a home instead of a kennel.
Every volunteer who walked through our doors today so our staff could get home to their families a little earlier…
every foster who said “yes”…
every donor who gave what they could…
you didn’t just help us.
You reminded us that we are never alone in this work.
This shelter isn’t just a building.
It’s a family.
A family made of adopters, fosters, dog walkers, kitten cuddlers, donors, cheerleaders, neighbors, and strangers who choose kindness again and again.
A family made of YOU.
From the deepest part of our hearts—
Thank you.
For loving our animals.
For loving our mission.
For loving us.
And for anyone whose heart has been touched by the stories we’ve shared this week—
the tiny fighters,
the broken ones learning to trust again,
the scared ones are finally safe…
May your day be full of warmth, laughter, soft blankets, full bellies, wagging tails, and the knowledge that you truly make a difference.
From all of us at
Wild Rivers Animal Rescue —
Happy Thanksgiving.
We are thankful for YOU. 🧡🐾
