Thank you to everyone who came out to see us today! What a wonderful event!

Thank you so much to Dog gone Holistic FishHawk for hosting us! We truly appreciate you letting us take over your lobby with our crazy mutts. 🤪🐶

Thank you to our amazing team for always kicking ass and getting 'er done. I couldn't be more proud of each of you and your comradory, how we work together to accomplish great things! You're all unmatched and I'm endlessly grateful for you each.

and Thank you to each and every one of you who lifts us up and continues to support our rescue.

We met so many new friends today, even for a tiny pop up event, and had great conversations. We realize we are extremely different from every other rescue you'll ever know, we are truly not replicatable, and we always appreciate everyone who understands and appreciates that about us.

The heart & soul of it all, is a small group of individuals who deeply commit to changing lives, and more than that, uphold the mission, values and the vision of one woman who very early in her life, decided she wanted to change the world, one animal saved at a time. In the utmost, purest way. The ideal, beyond best practice. I often tell my adopters, I'm like the crazy John Hammond in Jurassic Park (one of my fave movies by the way) I need to be there for the hatching of each and every one of my baby dinosaurs. Haha I'm a weirdo, it keeps me grounded LOL but in fairness I essentially rescue, name, build each health plan with our team of vets, and behavior assess EVERY one of our animals with few exceptions. I love them each like theyre my own! Because, well, they are until theyre not. Their ours. This team loves our babies! And we share them and share fostering and foster sitting and it's really a beautiful thing. You won't have adopted here without having had many a conversations with me personally, as well as with fosters. And my adopters will tell you, I shoot it straight. Because I care. Equally, our team is by design, I select each member of this team and we work tirelessly together every step of the way. They are each second to none. Their whole family, the kids, the teens, their pets. They're all integral. And we couldn't do this at this level of impact without that trust and our little rescue community we have built.

As that woman, I am forever humbled and grateful to have such support around me to continue this (often times gut-wrenching, exhausting, unfathomable and seemingly impossible) dream to save animals but to also lead by example on how companion pets (and all animals) deserve to live and be loved for who they are. When I say, I'd save them all if I could, oh boy, the level in which I mean that, has been a lifetime of heartache. But for each we can save, it is the only thing that keeps me going.

So thank you. This rescue is my little love letter to the world, doing what I've done since truly I could walk, saving animals, talking about animals, teaching about animals, sacrificing for animals, working for a better world for animals. and showcasing what pure, unconditional love looks like centering on each perfectly perfect individual animal we have the honor of rescuing. Telling their stories. Sharing who they are. They deserve that.

It's really never been about me, or us, but them. And I just wanted to say thanks for being here. These precious souls deserve our best every day and we will keep fighting for that! For them. Compassion for all lives. 😘🥰

Anyway! I'm done being sappy. It happens. I'm overtired and haven't slept in weeks because bottle babies really like to eat. Around the clock. The nerve. 🫠😝

Time to go feed Applesauce who is screaming at me as usual and go to bed!

Night all!

📍Tampa Bay

⭐️Luther is a 1.5 year old -- medium sized-- black Heinz 57. Best guess? Lab/pibble/hound. He currently weighs 41 pounds.

❤️‍🩹Luther was rescued from an unimaginable scenario. Found dumped on the side of the road, severely emaciated (he was bones at 26 pounds only 9 weeks ago!) Covered in wounds that looked human inflicted and with the tip of his tail cut off. He had all the things, and is an actual miracle. Fast forward, and he has made an almost full recovery. Some wounds will take time to heal but his bloodwork looks great, he's been fully vetted (neuter is on Monday) and he

✅️Luther is house & crate trained. He walks great on a leash. He loves to sleep in bed and cuddle. Rides well in a car. Loves to play with toys (will destroy stuffies to find the squeaker 🤦‍♀️) and is a very joyful, affectionate boy. We love Luther.

✅️His foster homes have had kids, cats and dogs. Our recommendation is no cats (he chases them but can coexist lol) kids 16+ (he's been great with kids, but he has experienced a LOT and kids can be a lot.) And he can have a dog friend or he can be an only dog. He's been fostered with both large and small breeds. But he doesn't require a dog friend he'd love to be a companion dog!

😍Luther is also in a 6 week good citizen training course and is a star student so far! He has already almost mastered leash walking with other dogs in a pack walk!

✨️He deserves a great home to love him! He has SO much love to give!

🔵Luther is fully and completely vetted ➡️Neutered, chipped, current on all shots (rabies, bordetella, DHPP) , HW Negative, UTD on prevention, flea free, dewormed and recent bloodwork done.

💚He will come with a leash and collar, his large crate, vet portfolio, some food and fave toys.
🟢Adoption fee: $200

We know he will be overlooked. He's black. He's got some pibble in there. He was abused. He will be judged and judged unfairly. We KNOW his home is out there. He's a great dog! And he's adorable.

🤔What should his forever look like?

💔Gone but never forgotten. It took me 2 weeks to post this. Beceause it always hurts. Inevitably in rescue, you cannot save them all. But we always try. Every time. There will be rescuers who claim that they take "the hard cases" and talk about loss from that perspective but the truth is, there is no "easy" in rescue. Having cute fluffy animals doesn't make them "easy" to save. And neonatal animals aren't a guarantee. They aren't born developed. It could take days and weeks for an animal to fail to thrive. So it's all a gamble in those early days regardless of skill, intention or finances. Some cases, no amount of money, intervention or help can change the course of nature. If only anything in rescue were that "easy."

Our team endured broken hearts again these last 2 weeks, over losing 2 babies. And we've powered through sleepless nights and slow adoptions and caring for our fosters while healing over these losses.

Marvel. We had and loved for a total of 8 hours. Born prematurely to a community cat who was hit and killed leaving 4 preemie newborns. One passed shortly after that according to the good samartians who found them and 3 joined our rescue. Marvel gained his wings his first night with us. At just 2 ounces, 3 days old. He was warm, fed and loved in those hours.

Peach also left us, 48 hours after rescue. She was the runt of her litter. She is survived by her 4 siblings and mama Zinnia. When we got her, born outside to a stray who we have now, she was 1/3 the size of her siblings and only 8 days old. She weighed 3 ounces with her brothers weighing in at 7-8 ounces. And her other brother was missing a foot. They were all parasite ridden, covered in fleas and struggling. We pulled her for intensive care and 2 days later her tiny body, likely underdeveloped internally, sadly stopped working. She passed peacefully in her sleep. Her passing hit me and her other foster mom personally very hard, we don't lose a lot of bottle babies and we are so very lucky for that, but some things are far beyond our control . Our team is incredibly experienced and we pour our love into our rescues. These losses hurt. Those days we don't answer emails fast enough, believe me, we are here 24 hours a day trying to right horrific community wrongs. And drowning in the most extreme array of emotions doing it. There is nothing easy about what we do here. And our hearts break a lot.

We mourn these babies. But we know they're flying free. And I know my team is strong and will carry each of their little lives in our hearts always. We carry on out of sheer devotion to make a difference in the world, even if for just a moment. The pain of losing them will never be greater than the pain of knowing we didn't try. Theyre always and forever worth the sacrifice, even in the insurmountable times and the sad outcomes.

We know, that compassion is the strength that moves our mission forward. And we will always share our journey here with our village. Our supporters. Our community. Caring is a superpower.

Their lives may of been short, but they were very meaningful and a reminder to keep our souls vulnerable to this pain, in order to continue to lead the way for change for animals in need. They all deserve a chance at life and to be loved, even if briefly.

We will keep your siblings safe little ones.
We love you both. Rest easy tiny angels.

🤦‍♀️This dog and his cat cube. I mean, it was the cat's in his foster home but he has claimed it, drags it to where he sleeps (crate included) & thinks this is perfectly normal.

📍Tampa Bay

🐶Fennec is an absolutely adorable puppy. He is large breed, GSD mix. He is fawn/tan in color and currently 35 pounds. We estimate his DOB to be around 11/1/24

🐾Fennec came to us from presumed backyard breeding. He is glorious and so sweet and loving. His foster homes have had kids, cats & dogs and he is a rockstar with everyone. He plays with both large and small dogs very well and is extremely smart, social, playful and loving.

➡️He is doing great with house training (but a puppy) doing well on a leash and in car rides. Is crate trained. And should have another dog in his forever home but we won't require it for him.

💙He is super well socialized, fully vetted & a phenomenal puppy! We adore this guy!

✨️He deserves a great home to love him! He has SO much love to give! Plus, look at those ears! 🥰

🩵Fennec is fully vetted and he leaves us ➡️Neutered, chipped, current on all age appropriate shots (bordetella, rabies, DHPP- will need boosters) UTD on heartworm prevention, flea free, and dewormed.

✨️Adoption fee: $450

❣️Hattie is an AMAZING kitten who has overcome so much. She was rescued after being found with a horrible laceration on her leg that we believe was maliciously inflicted on her before she was dumped outside in the streets. She had to have several specialized surgeries to sew it up as it was on her inner thigh in a strange place. She has been such a brave girl and has made a 100% recovery, you can barely even see where the injury was now! She is a survivor!

😫Why do we still have this beauty?
🏡Let's find her a home!

Some wounds will take time to heal but his bloodwork looks great, he's been fully vetted (neuter is on Monday) and he's gained over 14 pounds already! Through all of this, he is a happy, loving, wonderful dog!

✅️Luther is working on house training and is crate trained though he loves to sleep in bed and cuddle. Rides well in a car. Walks pretty ok on a leash- this was new for him, being in a house and loved is new for him. He has exceeded all expectations considering all he has endured. Loves to play with toys (will destroy stuffies to find the squeaker 🤦‍♀️) and is a very joyful, affectionate boy. We love Luther.

Your Community Rescue!

Welcome to FishHawk TNR, Inc. Your local 501c3 non-profit animal rescue! Where all that we do, is for the animals!

We are a foster based rescue serving the FishHawk Ranch, Riverview, Valrico, Bloomingdale and Apollo Beach areas. All of our animals are fully vetted prior to leaving our rescue and all adoptions are delivered for a home check. Our process includes an application, playdate, home check and fee collected at the time of adoption. We are never first come first served and we prefer applicants to live within an hour of the areas that we serve. We strive to educate adopters on their very best match for a new pet and as such, all applicants will not be automatically approved. We never offer on the spot adoptions. We will continue to rescue animals with a committed crew of volunteers and foster families and adopt them into forever homes, until we are no longer needed. Thank you for stopping by!
