New attraction coming soon to the ranch; a mudslide! Just kidding we found a soggy spot in the yard. The hunt for the source in progress. Mom's let your boys play in the mud... One day it might be very important that they do.

Happy Giving Friday!

​We're using this Friday to honor Rico! He's going to be with us for 2 years on August 10th. As always, and the whole time he's been here, we're plugging along trying to progress to bigger spaces. On average, we're spending $171.50 a week just for current housing and feed costs. This isn't counting any veterinary or preventive costs. That is only the payments for the building kennels and food.
The reality is we get one or two donations a week. We rarely get anything outside of the giving fund, so you can pretty much see what we get. There's no quit here... we can only move as fast as the money allows us. I'm not trying to whine, but we do have to consider the dogs we have and their lives. This lifeboat is full and we're hunting for a bigger one, but we have to have funding.

So here's to another year with Rico! We love you, boy!

Advantages of homesteading and having a dog rescue... Getting to hide treats in the yard for the dogs. They love their cherry tomatoes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🍅🍅🍅🍅

We have found several pieces of land for the rescue... But to move forward and have the financial stability to secure them we have to get the buildings paid off. This would drop our operating costs to allow room for the land and building kennels in the budget. This is going to be big... If you want to be part of it the donation information will be in the comments.

🐶 Happy Giving Friday! 🐶

​Hey guys, we'd really like to move the needle on our building payments! The balance on our smaller building is down to right around $4,400. We're making progress, but at the same time, it feels like we're stuck because we are completely maxed out on space.

​We currently operate on just .75 acres with only one play yard, and we've simply outgrown it. To keep doing what we do, we need to secure a larger property—our goal is at least 5 acres—to expand our kennels, play yards, and activities.

​We are committed to giving these dogs a real quality of life, not just a kennel. We take on the tough cases that won't or can't go to a normal home, and we never let a dog's "adoptability" stop us from saving them. The big dogs no one wants to feed in this economy, the black pittie mixes, the dogs listed with a bite history because they were in a bad environment... bring them on. We're not saying that every dog we have won't find a forever home. We just fill spots fast because we deal with more difficult cases and those spots stay full longer. For example Rico the dog featured today is a great dog but still has not found his forever home yet.

​But to keep taking them on, we must have resources and space. I'm not going to lie: we're going to make this expansion happen even if we have to do it all on our own. Everyone tells us it's a great thing we're doing, but with support from the community, I know this goes from great to amazing!

​P.S. Princess says to tell everyone she likes to eat! 🐾

🐾Happy Giving Friday! 🐾

We're making great progress! We've got the balance on our 12x24 building down to $3,700.67, but we have our $259.99 monthly payment due TODAY.

Getting this building completely paid off is a huge key to helping this rescue advance. Without this monthly overhead, we can redirect those funds to what matters most: food, vet care, and pulling more large dogs off the euthanasia list and giving them the space they need to heal and thrive.

If you can spare a few dollars to help us cover today's payment, here is how you can donate:
