🗳️YOUR VOTE WILL SAVE A LIFE 🗳️

HELP!!! The last two days have broken our bank account. We had four animals go in for major dental surgeries, Pippen isn’t feeling well and racked up a hefty vet bill, and Margot also saw the vet for a follow up appointment.

We’ve had to transfer money from our savings account TWICE in the last two weeks to cover bills, which isn’t great.

YOU can help get us over this rough patch.

Our Best In Rescue fundraiser is underway and today is DOUBLE VOTE day! That means for every $1 donation you make, two votes are cast.

Did you know several of our adoptable animals and sanctuary dogs are competing too? Your vote will save a life. Head over to the link in our comments to vote.

🧡 COME MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND 🧡

Savannah, Nova, and Einhorn will be hanging out at located in Pleasant Prairie, WI today (5/31) from 12:30-3:30pm. They are all looking for forever / foster homes.

🆘 Our shelter is full and we have completely stopped intake. Each of these pups are currently living at Big Barn. If they all get adopted or find foster homes, we can save three more lives.

Come and meet them!

🆘 FOSTERS NEEDED 🆘

Unfortunately, we’ve completely stopped intake.

Big Barn is full. We have a record number of animals at the shelter. Thirty-six to be exact.

Our current fosters have been quiet. With nowhere for these animals to go, we can’t save any more from our partners who desperately need us.

We have so many amazing animals at Big Barn waiting to be fostered. They include adult dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, large dogs (Marcellus the three legged Cane Corso is a gentle giant), small dogs, and everything in between.

Most of our animals are good with other animals too!

If you are able to help, please visit our website at aliverescue.org and complete the Foster Application.

We are sharing just a handful of those waiting. Pictured in this order: Cabbage, Marcellus, Conrad, Savannah, Mabel, Nova, Finkle, Lisette, Briggs, Einhorn, Leo, Piper, and Wynonna.

🧡 ZUCCHINI + NINE 🧡

If you missed it, one of our latest saves (Zucchini) just welcomed nine little additions at Big Barn. We rescued her from Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) and seven days later she delivered her puppies in the middle of the night.

We’ve been monitoring the puppies closely, weighing them 2-3 times a day. Any puppies not gaining weight have been getting solo time at the mama milk bar. Puppy #3 has been getting a lot of extra attention.

We can’t wait to introduce each puppy to you. They are all named after a different squash and one is cuter than the next.

💫 Raising this family will be an expensive undertaking. Consider sponsoring them by visiting the “Sponsor an Animal” link in our comments.

🧡 MEET CONRAD - WAITING NINE YEARS FOR A HOME🧡

If there was ever a pup who deserved a forever home, it would be Conrad. His journey has been a long one and we are hoping his next stop after ALIVE Rescue will be his forever.

As a young puppy, Conrad was found with ten other siblings and an injured mother in Arkansas. He was brought to a shelter where he remained living outside for NINE YEARS. His entire life.

In November of 2025, the rescue director abandoned all of the dogs living on the property including Conrad. Thankfully, our friends at Animal Rescue Corps stepped in and saved him and many others.

Conrad has never lived in a home or known the love that comes from having a family. We plan on changing that ASAP.

He is as sweet as can be. He loves other dogs, rolling in the grass, quiet time with humans, napping in the sun, playing in the water, and soft pets.

If you are able to foster or adopt him, please visit our website to apply.

💫 Consider sponsoring a senior animal like Conrad. Our monthly donors are vital to our life-saving efforts. Visit the link in our comments for more details.
