Save One Soul

05/18/2026

Today we are mourning the sudden and unexpected loss of one of our former foster dogs, sweet Sadie.

We first welcomed her into our rescue when she was only a few months old. From the beginning, we knew she was a fighter. She experienced repeated episodes of dangerously high fevers that left veterinarians searching for answers, but despite countless tests and evaluations, no clear diagnosis was ever found.

Then came a terrifying grand mal seizure. After receiving treatment for the seizures, something remarkable happened — the unexplained fever episodes finally stopped. She went on to enjoy the love, safety, and happiness every dog deserves, and we were so hopeful her hardest days were behind her.

Her passing has left us heartbroken. The dogs that come into rescue and leave paw prints that never fade, and Sadie was absolutely one of them. We will always remember her resilience, her spirit, and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.

Please keep her family, fosters, and everyone who loved her in your thoughts tonight. Run free, beautiful girl. You were deeply loved, and you always will be. ❤️

🐾 We Need Your Help to Say “Yes” to More Dogs 🐾

Every day, we work hard to save dogs with nowhere else to go—unowned, abandoned, and at-risk shelter dogs who need a second chance. Because of you, we’ve been able to change so many lives. ❤️

But we’re facing a growing reality…
More and more owned dogs are in crisis—families who love them but can’t afford urgent medical care or are facing heartbreaking circumstances. These dogs are at risk of being surrendered or worse—not because they aren’t loved, but because help just isn’t accessible.

We want to step in for them, too.
The challenge?
Dogs with higher veterinary needs require more funding… and often longer, more committed fosters. Right now, both are in short supply.

💡 Here’s where you come in:
🏡 Become a foster (even short-term helps!)
💸 Donate toward medical cases
📣 Share our mission with others

Expanding our focus means we can prevent surrenders, keep families together when possible, and step in before situations become emergencies.
We don’t want to say “no” when a dog needs us. With your support, we won’t have to.

We would love to have your feedback on this plan. Please feel free to comment with anything pertinent to this. Good, bad, or indifferent - we need your advice before we proceed.

🐶 Together, we can save more lives—before they end up in the system.

Smiley

has something to smile about: after waiting patiently for a long time, she has found the perfect home. Her new parents saw her flier at our vet's office and fell in love with her. A meet-and-greet went well, and Smiley decided to say for a sleep-over.

Smiley has been renamed to Stella now, and everyone in the family, including her new siblings are smitten with her.

Thanks to Kala and James for adopting Smiley, and to everyone at Preston Animal Hospital for being a matchmaker.

Urgent

Due to unforeseen circumstances and no fault of their own, Smiley and Dubby will lose their foster home at the end of this month.

We are desperately in need of another foster or adopter for either one of these great dogs.

Smiley is an XL Bully. She was bred to the point that she could no longer have pups and then found as a "stray". She was also found to have a mast cell tumor, which was successfully removed, and a subsequent gastric surgery. She is currently about 8 years of age.

Dubby came to us after he was tied to the gate of a local shelter and left there overnight. He has an old fracture of his front leg, which does not slow him down in the least. He is about 5 years of age now.

Both dogs are good with other dogs and do well with people of all ages.

Both dogs are fully vetted. If fostering, SOS will cover the cost of their vet care, food and supplies.

We will waive the adoption fees for the right adopter(s).

Please contact us if you're interested in fostering or adopting.
