Magnolia Mutts Rescue

We currently owe $4,800 in total for our Zoetis and veterinary bills. We commit ourselves to these animals because they depend on us, but we rely on your support to cover these costs. We do not receive government funding, and the one grant we do receive barely covers a month's worth of our annual expenses. This is why we frequently ask for help, and I understand that it can become tiresome. Trust me, we are more aware of this than anyone else, as we are responsible for finding the funds to pay the bills, which is no easy task.

I worry every single day, and this burden is not mine alone; every rescue organization shares this struggle. Each rescue faces the challenge of not having enough fosters and volunteers. Yet, we continue to take in animals, even though we often have no idea how we will cover their expenses or where they will stay. We do this in good faith, believing in your support, but the last few years have been particularly difficult, leading many rescues to close their doors permanently.

Over the last two years, we have fought to keep our organization open, but we are losing this battle. Most of our animals come from Grenada, but we help so many from neighboring communities as well. I have pushed myself harder than I should have, and it has taken a tremendous toll on me and our team members in every aspect of our lives. I have done everything I can; when funds run out, I pay the bills out of my own pocket—$2,500 here, $1,500 there. I can’t continue this way, and to be honest, I shouldn’t have to, so I am making one final plea. There is no personal gain involved; the ones who stand to benefit are the animals who are suffering and dying because humans are failing them. If you are okay with that, by all means, keep scrolling.

The veterinary and Zoetis bills represent only a fraction of our overall expenses. Our animals require food, toys, puppy pads, crates, bedding, treats, and more. Meeting these essential needs is not optional; they must be fulfilled regardless of donations. When community support is lacking, the burden falls solely on us, which is why we are confronting the potential of permanently closing our doors. If each person reading this post contributed just $5 or $10, it would make a significant difference.

🐾 **Urgent Foster Needed for Cinnamon!** 🐾

Meet Cinnamon, our brave boy who has faced more challenges in his short life than most. Rescued as a puppy, he’s undergone multiple procedures, including surgery to remove part of his jaw due to an infection. Just when we thought he was on the mend, he faced a spine infection that left him temporarily paralyzed. But Cinnamon is a true fighter and has been thriving for the past 6-8 months!

Now, he's in urgent need of a new foster. Unfortunately, his current foster moved him to a tiny outdoor kennel, which isn’t suitable for his medical history. Cinnamon may be shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s a bundle of love waiting to shine. All he needs is someone to give him the time and care he deserves—and maybe snap a few cute pictures to help him find his forever home!

If you can open your heart and home to Cinnamon, please reach out. Let’s help this sweet boy find the love he deserves! ❤️

Grenada, MS -

Y’all, I still need a foster for 3-4 pups from Aurora’s litter. Their current foster has all 7, plus their mama and another foster dog, and that’s a lot of work for one person, especially with a full-time job. They were in an unsafe environment, so she took all of them to ensure they would be safe, with the understanding that I would find someone to take a few of them within a day or two. That was 2-3 weeks ago, and I haven’t kept my word because our pleas for assistance fall on deaf ears. We’re still, however, expected to continue accepting animals and get chewed out if we can’t. I’ve been told to do our #* #$@%* JOB more times than I can count, and I’m a volunteer.

Aurora’s pups are 7 weeks old, very healthy, and playful. They love to be held, and their foster doesn’t have the time it takes to give this many puppies the attention they need. It’s not hard, folks; 3-4 puppies isn’t hard! If you could even take 2, it would help.

BTW - Before anyone gets upset, mama has her own kennel, she visits with her pups each day for an hour or so. Mama’s milk has dried up and they aren’t taking her nourishment.

Update - there is no update…Buddy still needs a buddy… Will you take him in?

Last week at the vet, I met a small dog named Buddy in the kennel next to Loey. He was begging for attention, and when I reached through the fence, he melted into my touch. 💔 Buddy is just a year old, weighs 20 pounds, and came in with a spinal injury that affects his bowel and bladder control. He has been raised indoors and desperately needs a foster or forever home where he can stay inside. His owners plan to move him to an outdoor kennel if we can't find someone by tomorrow. If you or anyone you know can help, please reach out! Let's give Buddy the love and care he deserves. 🐾❤️

Update! Adoption pending!

Athena update!

I’ve been on the road the last two days with spay/neuter clinic, transport, etc. I apologize for not being able to respond to everyone’s questions and comments!

Athena saw the vet yesterday and we’re going to try another round of doxy as a Hail Mary. We figured out she’s only aggressive when food is out. After being starved it’s very understandable. I don’t think one instance of good manners is enough to throw her in with other dogs yet, she needs a little more time to be sure.
She’s so happy and she loves to ride. I open the back door and she jumps right in and watches the other cars go by. She loves to eat, she loves to be love and she loves to give love.
She has a long road to recovery ahead but we’re just going to keep on loving her and praying her through this.

I was on my way to MSU for spay/neuter clinic this morning and there was a pitiful black dog running in the road on 82 East about 5 miles outside Winona. The dog was almost hit by two cars. From what I could tell he/she looked like a very malnourished boxer. That baby sure needs help if someone can go. I couldn’t get a picture.
