I know it's a bit of a long shot and alot to ask but would anyone have access to a cargo van that would haul 7 dogs in crates? We are traveling to Maine on June 24. We are planning to rent a van but I just thought I should ask if anyone has one to borrow.

We just got word today that we will be taking 7 dogs to Maine! Maine has very strict guidelines for bringing dogs in! A full medical assessment and every vaccine and test you can think of! They offer a great opportunity for these dogs to be adopted to wonderful homes! Every dime we spend to get them vetted and the trip to Maine will be so very worth it! The tentative date is near the end of June!

Please please read and share. I added a picture of Joey when we first rescued him. His leg was pitiful. We didn't even know if his leg could be saved but as you can see he runs and plays on it normally. The vet who examined him at that time said there was nothing wrong with it. We feel like it was mistreatment or it got hung up in a leash and injured..

Joey 🐾 | Black Mouth Cur | Morganton, NC
Rescued just in time, Joey is thriving with us at our home and ready to be someone’s best friend.
Joey is a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. He has a moderate energy level and would be a wonderful match for someone who enjoys outdoor time, daily walks, and quiet evenings with a loyal companion by their side.
Joey is incredibly affectionate and people-oriented. He loves belly rubs, leisurely walks, and happily carrying sticks like they’re his prized possessions. He gets along well with other dogs and has not shown aggression. While his experience with cats is unknown, his temperament has been calm and loving.
He is:
Neutered
Heartworm negative
Crate trained
Dog-friendly
Loving, loyal, and eager to please
Joey would thrive in a home where he can be part of the family and receive the affection he craves. He doesn’t need constant activity — just consistency, companionship, and love.
If you’re looking for a devoted dog who will be grateful for every bit of attention and return it tenfold, Joey may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
You may not be looking for a dog—but someone you know might be.
Sharing Joey’s story could put him in front of the person meant for him 🐾

This is what running a rescue looks like on the back side. I don't think we filled carts this full raising our children, lol! We also have a feeder for deer (not to hunt them) in our back yard, especially in the cold weather. Also thankfully found pet friendly de-icer stuff too!
This recent article blast is challenging because the babies still want to go out to play but the temps are brutal. I let them get into the half of the 100' x100' that's still in good shape after trees destroyed one whole side of the other side during Helene. They get their exercise in before kennel time and feeding before bed.

Joey practicing his ninja bow skills on one of his daily long walks along the ridge, 2100ft above sea level, living his best life. He's a nut and goes crazy for sticks. The hurricane debris has left him a veritable Walmart of sticks to choose from and play with along the road. When the FEMA debris crews finally make it up here he will still have the sticks in the woods along the trail we walk. But he really likes to shop for that perfect stick along the road on each walk.

This is Joey. A rescue that many will remember and is still with us here on the mountain. He's a good dog but doesn't tend to play well with other dogs so he is a dog looking for a one dog family.
He has a serious pinchant for sticks. The small ones he likes to play with like he is a ninja swinging a bow until they break. When it comes to fetch he is more into tug of war dog and he does not lose. The larger ones he just wants to drag until he gets tired and leaves them blocking the road. I have to go back and get them when I walk the dog after him. But some of them he drags all the way back to the house. He is definitely a unique dog!

GCACE Pets Seeking Rescue came by today with a HUGE donation of supplies!! This is the shelter where we got Henry (aka Henrick). The community of Gastonia collected dog food and other supplies for several rescues in the Western NC area! We are so thankful! I also got to meet Henry's shelter mommie. He remembered her! ❤️
