We’ve had back to back transports it feels like. And we are working on 3 more.

We are getting ready to send our puppies to Colorado, New York, and Michigan in the next couple of weeks.

Our outreach team is busy visiting properties, vaccinating puppies, coordinating vet visits, and making sure everyone is ready.

So many sweet and beautiful puppies are counting on us, and we don’t quit.

Our vet bill is climbing by the day, and our funds are being allocated towards vaccines, transport fees, and operating expenses.

Please help us if you can!

Thank you Treats 4 Paws for your final donation to our mission.

The food and supplies are a huge blessing to our foster and community caretaker programs.

The cash and gift card donations are so very appreciated!

Your service to the rescue community is truly amazing!

(The playpen was a gift form another organization it’s just been in my car a few days)

We are planning a mega adoption event!

A few puppies directly with our rescue will be available, but mainly we are doing this for the community burdened by stray dogs that have no where to go.

Community caretakers will be welcome to bring dogs and puppies THEY have picked up and cared for while we try to assist how we can.

Here’s the details:

🐾the dogs are adopted directly from the community caretakers, we are only here to make sure it’s done responsibly.

🐾 we suggest a donation fee that will be put towards any vetting left to be done

🐾there will be a spay and neuter contract for any animals not yet scheduled for surgery

🐾we have or will provide the basic vetting: age appropriate vaccines, dewormer, and preventions.

🐾we do not accept returns of animals to the rescue, we have nowhere to put them. They go back to the community caretaker or the adopter can rehome them.

🐾 if we are not already assisting you please reach out for approval of any animals you would like to bring

Please understand we do what we can to help as many people as possible who care for stray and abandoned animals but we do not have the budget or resources to vet them all fully beforehand, get them onto transports, or put them into foster care.

Everything we do is a courtesy.

We will share the dogs and puppies we anticipate being there soon.

Thank you!

Dia de los mu***os is such a beautiful celebration, tonight it is said our much loved pets return home.

These are my babies, some lived long lives and some left me too soon. All are very missed.

Last night was a transport night, a LATE night transport.

Just before midnight we sent off 13 puppies on the first leg of their journey, a road trip to Tennessee. This morning they boarded our first ever transport by air.

We are so grateful to Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center for this collaborative effort to get both of our pups to North Shore Animal League America, and to Pilots To The Rescue for getting them there safely the whole way.

This transport opportunity was presented to us Tuesday and we scrambled to make it happen.

5 puppies saved by Natalia and family in Kilgore. A stray mama showed up, dropped off her pups, and was not seen again shortly after. Natalia did everything we asked and was so patient while these puppies got well and ready for transport.

2 puppies saved by Kelsey and family after she found a mama and 3 pups on the road near Tatum. Mama is heartworm negative and an absolute doll, we hope her and puppy 3 will travel soon as well.

The rest of our pups were not approved or just not ready so we offered a few spots or our friends in rescue.

Big Dog Rescue Project sent 4 beautiful pups they didn’t yet have a plan for.

East Texas Animal Rescue sent 2 pups who have had no adoption interest locally.

As rescues we are all stronger when we work together.

Thank you to everyone who makes saving lives possible. Our outreach team who visits the pups and gets them ready. Our vet who puts up with our nonstop visits. Volunteer drivers. Fosters and community caretakers. Rescue partners.Donors.

Now I am going to bed early tonight. Happy tails pups!

When you dump a dog a series of events take place…..

Somebody notices.

Somebody asks for help.

Or somebody else considers the dog a nuisance.

Somebody begs for help.

Somebody takes matters into their own hands, because a dog dumped to fend for itself does what it needs to do to survive.

Somebody feels guilt because they can’t be the one to help and nobody else volunteers either.

Somebody shoots the dog.

Somebody hits the dog accidentally when it’s in a road confused.

Somebody steps up to foster it.

Somebody picks up the broken pieces.

We never know which one of these things will happen first, no matter how hard we try.

It can’t always be the same somebody, we are exhausted.

One of these 2 dogs is gone. 🌈 Because help didn’t come.

Can you help the one still waiting?

This dog is alone, scared, and needs a rescue with a foster.

Kilgore, TX

Huge thank you to East Texas Pet Emergency for showing kindness to the dog who needed immediate attention to end her suffering.

That crazy dog lady desperately needs a grant writer!

We want to up our game in the spay and neuter side for our community. I don’t have the time or brain power to read all this paperwork and get it done.

You don’t have to live locally, just be able to connect with us to get it done.

Please help us fix all these dang dogs! And cats.

We want to fill the gap where vouchers are not available and programs are overwhelmed.

Let me know if you’re interested in helping us make a difference in a big way.

Yesterday was a transport day!

We loaded up 11 pups that are set to arrive in Michigan in the next few hours, then they head to their new foster or adopted homes.

Shout out to our fosters and community caretakers for saving these precious pups.

Rhonda who saved sweet Wylie and Sasha. Wylie was a single pup found all alone in the Leveretts Chapel area if I remember correctly. Sasha we tagged from Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center.

Suzanne who saved sweet Willa, a Great Pyrenees pup found wandering around a neighborhood in rural Kilgore.

Priscilla and family who took in a litter of 3 pups from a Rusk County stray.

Rebecca who saved a whole litter of dumped pups in Tatum. 2 headed out now and hopefully more next time.

Ava who saved little Tito who was wandering around a lake in Palestine.

And Laura who saved 2 dumped pups in Gilmer (if I remember correctly).

This is what we do, help the helpers from all over East TX. Not just Kilgore, not just Rusk County. If they can get to our vet and our transports, they can foster instead of expecting us to figure every part out, and our partners can take their pups, we fight along side them.

I wish we could save them all, but we work really hard to save what we can. Thank you fosters and caretakers for doing the hard work.

Huge thank you to the transport team: Lynn, Tricia, Kenny, and Ace.

Happy Tails , pups!
