As we sit here and reflect on the year we’ve had, it feels both empowering and heavy all at once. We didn’t have some flashy, knockout year and that’s okay.
What we did have were volunteers & supporters who dug deep and showed up when it mattered most. People who carried us through some of our hardest days and truly shined when things felt overwhelming.
Having a building changes everything.
Having 50 plus dogs at any given time means...
50 dogs lives depending on us every single day.
50 dogs walked three to four times daily.
50 kennels cleaned, 50 bowls filled twice a day.
And that’s just the basics on top of maintenance, medical appointments, adoptions, events, meet-and-greets, and the constant behind-the-scenes work that never stops.
This year was filled with accomplishments.
We overcame big obstacles, HUGE HOARDING CASES, Building improvements, improving programs, creating new programs for our community.
We built so many meaningful connections both near & far.
We were surrounded by sponsors and supporters who gave, and gave, and gave some more and that generosity was nothing short of beautiful.
As we enter the final hours of 2025, we just want to say thank you.
Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for everything you have poured into us.
Our extended family which is - you- You truly made the difference this year!
Thank you for standing by us.
Thank you for holding us up when we couldn’t hold it all together on our own.
You were the difference. You were the final push that helped us cross the finish line.
So many dogs found amazing homes this year. And something really stood out to us recently it’s not just about adoption rates, but retention. Anyone can place a dog, but how many stay in those homes?
Our retention rate this year was about 98% and that speaks volumes about the care, the screening, the education, and the support behind every adoption. We didn’t just find homes we built families.
So with that, we say a final goodbye to 2025 and a hopeful hello to 2026.
Happy New Year. Happy 2026.
May this year bring you and your family peace, prosperity, health, and continued partnership with your favorite rescue.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
We truly couldn’t do this without you. ❤️
From our family to yours, Happy New Year!
