All 7 babies look absolutely perfect!! 2 blue harl males, 1 blue harl female, 1 blue male, 1 blue female, 1 blue female (with white feet, chest, tip of tail), 1 silver merle mantle female.

They are needing help!

🚨 URGENT PLEA 🚨

Guys… we need help and we need it NOW.

We currently have 6 full puppy pens on top of approximately 40 adult dogs from Mission RISE and many of these dogs are extremely sick. We are dealing with large amounts of bloody diarrhea, medical issues, constant cleaning, medications, feeding schedules, and around-the-clock monitoring.

We are DESPERATELY in need of:
🩶 Blankets
🩶 Bedding
🩶 Towels
🩶 Cleaning help
🩶 Volunteers
🩶 Extra hands of any kind

Even if you can only come help for a couple hours… PLEASE do. We are exhausted and drowning in laundry, cleaning, and medical care right now.

These dogs cannot sit in wet kennels and we are going through bedding faster than we can wash it.

If you cannot sign up ahead of time, JUST COME. Please show up. We can complete the volunteer application and get your driver’s license information once you arrive.

📍 2010 Pecan Dr
Pleasant Hill, Missouri

Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 16 is not permitted without my direct approval.

I am begging my village to show up for these babies. Please.

This was said too perfectly to not share it!! ❤️

Breeding is traumatic.
Read that again.

Breeding. Is. Traumatic.

At some point, if you stay in this world long enough, your heart will break here. Maybe quietly. Maybe all at once. But it will happen.

No matter how experienced you are, no matter how deeply you love your dogs, this life leaves scars on you.

You will lose puppies.
You may lose one of your girls.
You will lose dogs you loved with your whole soul.

You will sit on kennel floors at 3am crying, wondering what else you could have done.

People see the beautiful photos, the chunky puppies, the polished videos, and the happy go-home days. What they do not see are the emergency vet runs, sleepless nights, fading puppies, exhausted mothers, crushing vet bills, fear, heartbreak, and emotional exhaustion that comes with carrying life so carefully in your hands.

People will judge breeders without understanding this world at all. Some because you would not sell them a puppy. Some because they simply do not believe in breeding. Some because cruelty online has become normal.

Responsible breeding is not built on money.
It is built on sacrifice.

Years of Careful pairings.
Missed sleep.
Missed holidays.
Heartbreak.
And loving these dogs enough to keep going anyway.

I have regrets. I have sadness. I have scars I will carry forever. But I will never apologize for the dogs I have brought into this world or the joy they have brought the families who love them.

As I sit here tonight I realize how deeply breeding changes a person.

The fear stays with you.
The grief stays with you.
But somehow… so does the joy.

And maybe that is the quiet, lonely part only breeders truly understand.
