Death Row To Dream Dog

05/04/2026

Big changes are coming—and they come from a place very close to my heart.

After taking some time to step back and focus on growing my family and welcoming my babies, I’m ready to get back to work—this time with an even deeper purpose.

Our 501(c)(3) dog rescue is evolving. While we will always remain committed to saving dogs in need, we are shifting our focus into a nonprofit organization centered on training service dogs for individuals living with trauma-induced PTSD, including survivors of sexual abuse.

This mission is personal. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their own body and their own life, and the kind of support a well-trained service dog can provide is truly life-changing.

What this means:
• We will continue rescuing dogs and giving them a second chance
• We will train select dogs to become highly skilled service animals
• We will work to place these dogs with individuals who need them most
• Our goal is to provide these service dogs at no cost to survivors through donations and community support

And this is just the beginning. Our long-term vision is to grow into a program that also offers access to counseling, self-defense classes, and other supportive services—creating a space where individuals can rebuild confidence, feel safe, and take back control of their lives.

This next chapter is about healing, safety, and creating real change—for both people and the dogs we save.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and stuck with us during this pause. I’m so excited for what’s ahead. 🐾

This is happening all over the country. Please support us by sharing, donating, and asking us about becoming a foster. We can’t help more dogs without donations and fosters! We are a 501c3 organization and your donations are tax deductible!

This week we took in 87 dogs and cats from our local shelters and were ready to pass out from exhaustion for the weekend. But as we all know in animal welfare - planning to rest simply doesn't exist! Dekalb Animal Control in Alabama had 21 pups dumped on them this afternoon, leaving them completely overwhelmed and in desperate need of help. With limited kennel space remaining - we were only able to accommodate 11 puppies at the Rescue Center. In a moment of desperation, we reached out to our friends at Greater Huntsville Humane Society (GHHS), A New Leash on Life, and Rocket City Rescue to see if they could help with any of the remaining ten puppies. Without hesitation, all three groups responded that each could take some puppies into their program, allowing us to move fifteen out of Dekalb this evening and the remaining six pups tomorrow. To have fellow rescue partners who are willing to collaborate, support one another, and put the animals needs first is such a beautiful thing and not always seen in the animal welfare community. We are SO grateful to everyone at GHHS, ANLOL and RCR for their compassion and urgency in times of need. While Alabama has some of the worst problems when it comes to how our communities care (or don't care) for their animals, we are blessed to have some seriously incredible rescue groups constantly cleaning up these messes. The animals would be in such a terrible predicament if it weren't for rescue groups like these. Get ready to see some new puppies coming soon!

We want to share the sad news of Zeke aka Burt’s passing. A lot of you followed his story and donated towards his medical fund and care. Zeke was dumped in our front yard late at night December 2022 it was freezing and snowing. He was emaciated and sick. After a ton of medical testing we found out that he had a lot going on medically he had a really resistant infection, bladder issues, and a prostate condition. He was adopted by a very loving couple and he was treated regularly by a dedicated medical staff. He was spoiled and loved on until the end. ❤️ If you would like to donate in Zeke’s memory so we can save more dogs please message us! Zeke will forever be in our hearts 💕

Does anyone have dog igloos or hard sided crates they don’t need? We would love a donation of these items.
