Finishing up my last run in Washington with one of the most meaningful passengers yet.

Meet Wonder 🌟—she spent seven long years at Desert Hot Springs Animal Shelter in the California desert. Thanks to Alex and all the other incredible volunteers who never gave up on her, Wonder finally got her chance at forever.

Today I had the honor of delivering her to her new mom, Hilary, here in Washington. 💛 After all this time, she’s finally home.

So grateful to have played a part in her journey. Safe travels, sweet Wonder—you’ve waited long enough for this moment. 🐾

9,842 miles. 13 days. 450+ animals in ONE shelter.
And somehow… people still attack the wrong damn people.

It’s not the shelter staff causing the problem.
It’s the humans who failed these animals in the first place — the dumping, the breeding, the “oops” litters, the walk-aways when it’s no longer convenient.

In the last 9 months (really deep for 6), I’ve been learning it all:
🐾 Meeting shelter staff
🐾 The good & bad of online networkers
🐾 The pledgers who never pay up
🐾 The nightmare logistics of getting a dog from shelter to rescue
🐾 The goods and bads of rescues — from amazing to hoarding, violent founders, and flippers
🐾 Boarding, transporting, vetting, and the laws around it

Not everything will be perfect. Things happen. But if we work together, we can turn constant emergencies into consistent impact.

Want the deep dives? Ask me.

Miles, Paws, and a Little Pause 🐾

We’ve been on the road nonstop — here are some snapshots from the last couple of weeks with our amazing passengers! ❤️

Next week, we’re hitting the brakes. No runs planned — just staying home with our kids (two-legged and four-legged) to recharge.

While we’re home, we’ll be working on finding more resources, connections, and ideas to keep growing and saving more lives. If you have suggestions, contacts, or ways to collaborate — let’s hear them!

Because the more we work together, the more paws we can get to safety. 🐶🐾

🇨🇦 Blaine, WA → Canada Bound! 🇨🇦
By far the closest I’ve ever been to Canada… which is my reminder to get my passport renewed!

✨ Drakeo has officially made it to his forever mama, Judy, in Canada—heading off to live his very best life! Pitties always seem to get a bad rap, so when one crosses our path on their way to forever, we’re honored to be part of their journey. Every mile is worth it. ❤️🐾

🚛 Hubs and I are turning the van south—18 hours straight home!
📅 Our last on-the-books run to Washington leaves Thursday night. Let’s make it count!

You never realize how big California is until you’ve run to Oregon and Washington three times in a week and a half. 😅

Right now, we’ve got multiple vehicles and teams of drivers doing it all—private runs, rescue runs, adoption deliveries, quarantined runs. The requests keep coming, and we keep switching lanes to bridge the gaps—so rescuers can actually enjoy rescuing again, without the nightmare starting before they even get the pup.

Meanwhile, we’re knee-deep in sanitizing, pressure washing, quarantine protocols, van naps, and just… drive, drive, drive. 🙃 Thank God for hubs and his willpower!!! 💪❤️

And let’s talk about the ugly side—because founders and rescue coordinators feel it every single day. It’s like high school mean girls mixed with keyboard warriors who’ve never stepped foot in a shelter or met a rescue dog, but have plenty of time to stir drama from behind a screen. They beat people down until the joy of rescue feels like a fight to survive.

We have to remember—we’re all on the same team. Same mission, same goals. If we worked together instead of against each other, imagine how much more we could do for the animals.

The good news? I’ve met more good humans lately than I can count… and it’s given me a little bit of my faith in humanity back. ❤️

This run took way longer than expected—thanks to a couple detours—but every single one was worth it. 💛

✅ All pickups and drop-offs went smooth
🏡 Delivered CANELO to his forever home!
🚗 Picked up our broken-down car in Nevada (because… of course)
🐾 Dropped off Toby in Laughlin, NV—he rode all the way from Washington like a total champ, snuggling the whole way. His dad was so happy to see him!

We’re always reminded… it takes everyone. No judgment. No ego. Just love, hustle, and a whole lot of heart to save the forgotten. We’re honored to work with the good ones.

Crashing hard for the night—but damn, what a ride. ❤️‍🔥

🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨

We’re used to wildfires in Southern California, but what we’re seeing now is a different kind of emergency. Due to recent ICE raids happening across the country, families are being torn apart—and it’s not just people who are affected.

Right now, 9 pups are about to lose their foster because their person is facing deportation. If we don’t find placement fast, they’ll be dumped at a high-kill shelter.

💔 This isn’t about politics. It’s about life or death for these dogs.

Here’s who needs help:
🐾 2 medium-sized dogs (~35 lbs)
🐾 7 small dogs (all under 20 lbs full grown)

We are looking for:
✅ Rescues in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, or Idaho who can take 1–2 pups
✅ Short-term fosters in Southern California (2–4 weeks) while we line up the next step
✅ Adopters ready to make a forever difference

If you can help, please DM us so we can collaborate and get them out of California.
This situation is out of the norm—but honestly, isn’t everything we do?
This is the task at hand. It’s a new one for Refueling Souls, but we’re always trying for solutions.

At Refueling Souls, we don’t do politics.
We don’t do bullying.
We don’t point fingers.

We show up.
We lead with compassion.
And we do the absolute best we can—for the animals, for the people, and for the mission.
