From hopeless to healing ❤️‍🩹
The photo on the left was taken in December—Walker was sitting in a cold concrete kennel, confused, terrified, and on the euthanasia list at a local shelter. You can see the worry in his eyes… the kind of panic and sadness that no animal should ever have to carry.

Fast forward to today (right)—Walker is a completely different dog. 100% Calm, confident, and finally safe. All because someone said “yes” to rescuing him.

Every time we choose to rescue, we rewrite the story for dogs like Walker. They don’t just need a second chance—they truly deserve one.

Please consider fostering, adopting, or donating to help a rescue dog in-need. You’re not just saving a life. You’re giving these dogs a future! 🖤

Hope you had an amazing ✨WALKER Wednesday✨! This handsome squish-face sure did. He enjoyed his day lounging in the sun ☀️ , exploring, playing & adventuring with his current bestie, Lil Mo. 👯

Did you know? Mr. Walker ( ) has done meetings with every dog here through a fence—besides Mitzi & Moo (duh, bc they are cliquey , not Walker 😉🙃);he has done *so* amazingly well each time!!

From what we have seen his entire stay here he is so totally non-reactive to other dogs. He simply doesn’t care too much about them. He does seem to like confident easy-going dogs who are similar in temperament and who like to run around and have fun.

So proud of ofhow far he has come since leaving the shelter. Walker def takes time to open up and trust you, but once he does… he is totally your BFF for life. He is going to make someone’s BEST sidekick ever. 🫶

Walker loves being outdoors and staying active but he is also perfectly fine being a couch potato. He kind of is a Velcro dog, who is happiest near his ppl/pack. He’s potty trained, great on and off leash, great in crate, not a barker, and 100% angel. 😇

If you’re inteeested in learning more about Walker and are located in 📍So Cal please send an email!

PUPDATE!🎉 Who remembers adorable Gohan ( ) from Downey? He was around 10 months old; a totally precious pup at-risk of euthanasia due to overcrowding at the shelter. Gohan is now GUSTAVO—which is a very fitting name for this extra dapper & handsome boy, who is getting so big! So glad he gets to live a full life surrounded by love. 💗

Gustavo went to a wonderful Foster home post-shelter, who gave him so much TLC and stability while the hunt for his Forever Home was on. They were so invested in his adoption search and even made adorable “adopt me”-style business cards feat. Gustavo in a Santa hat that were the cutest things we have ✨ever✨ seen. Pretty soon after, Gustavo found his Forever. ♾️

So thankful for all who were involved in helping this GREAT BOY find his ‘Happily Ever After’. 🏰💕

Swipe to see Minnie solve the ENTIRE ENRICHMENT PUZZLE IN 1 SWIFT MOVE 🤯➡️ Minnie is *quite* a smart cookie. A genius, even—one might say. Did you know she is in ? It’s true: Minnie scored in the top 1% of ALL enrichment puzzle 🧩 players.

Over the past couple days we have been blown away with her performance and ability to solve even the toughest of challenges—like winning the puzzle game before she even started it. 😉

Minnie plays fierce, and “she is not sorry about her brains, her tenacity or her beauty”. (⬅️that was a direct Minnie quote). Her motto?: “No time for playing. Just winning.” 🥇

It’s safe to say Minnie is getting lots of lovin’ and being a huge cutie patootie in her wonderful Foster Home. She is spoiled with toys, puzzles (even if she knocks them over to win the prize immediately 🙊), walks, cuddles & affection. 🥰

We are so proud of Minnie & so thankful for her foster family. It has been awesome to witness the transition of Minnie from country gal 🤠 to beach babe. 👙You’d think that 3 days is not a very long time; that Minnie would move on and forget about this place. But nope.👎 Even those 3 days here affected her (& us 😭). She made an impression on us and vice versa & when we left, we were all sad. 😞

It’s hard for us people to miss her so much, but harder for Minnie who doesn’t know what happened or why. She doesn’t necessarily know we are gone, but she knows something is different and she has to re-adjust and settle in again. This time, adapting to a whole new environment and setting. 🏖️

All that goes to say that it’s *completely* normal for Minnie to be acting out a bit as she gets used to her new surroundings. Minnie was totally 💯 potty-wise while here with us and she did not ever have an accident. Now? It’s a lil diff. She’s resetting and therefore going thru all the motions. Therefore the indoor potty accidents (right after a walk), chewing on a trash can when she has toys (oops) —are all *so* totally normal in this equation! She is progressing as the days go by. She is learning what is right & wrong in a new space. Just goes to show that even the most perfect dog can need some time to settle in!

03/25/2025

My Dad & Minnie rly bonded throughout her stay here. 😭 She arrived Thursday PM after he picked her up from Downey ACC. They had a date to get a much-deserved, celebratory puppachino, & got goodies for Minnie’s sleepover here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday PM…off she went to her fabulous Foster Home!!

Today will officially be Minnie’s 2nd full day in her Foster Home located in HB. She is a lucky gal; right by the beach in a great home with an amazing woman & her 25 yr old son.

Every time a dog switches locations, it’s like starting over. We are taking things day by day & seeing how things unfold. Minnie is a major love-bug, filled with affection. She loves people & is totally smitten with her Foster Fam. But is the environment right for Miss Minnie? We will see.

The transition from rural to urban life can def be overwhelming, even for ppl! It can take time to decompress & acclimate to the fast-paced ‘hustle & bustle’ of a well-populated city & all the stimuli that comes with it.

Sometimes you don’t realize that a dog is a country dog until they’re in that environment…& vice versa. Some dogs thrive off of a faster paced life-style; they love ppl, dogs & excitement. Others can be overwhelmed.

Minnie is nothing but good vibes. But time will tell whether or not she settles in. She is a bit anxious right now which is def to be expected. But, she is in the best hands ever.

“New” can be scary; and it can make even the BEST dog a little wonky for a bit. For example, Minnie has had some potty accidents. She doesn’t want to eat much. She has chewed on some things she shouldn’t. She is def acting out a bit, but we are beyond thankful she has such stable and loving ppl who are understanding that all of this is “brand new” to Minnie.

We will keep you guys posted on her daily progress. Today she peed outside on her walk (yay!) but did a 💩 right when she came back inside. 🙊 She is figuring things out. We are very proud of her & so grateful for her Fosters.

Follow to see some adorable updates of her in her Foster Home! She got a new stuffed lamby last night, but already sent it off into the next life (RIP lamby). 👼🕊️🕯️😂

It’s Pickles world 🌍 … We are simply living in it (*pls refer to the above photo for further evidence)

Love to see this couch potato 🥔 living out her dream of being a couch potato (& professional softball player; yes—it’s true). Pickles is a woman of many talents. She’s chonky, she’s gorgeous, she’s sassy and she’s classy. Who else do you know out there who can juggle such a lifestyle? Not many. But Pickles is a profesh in EVERY sense of the word.

So happy to see Pickles thriving; living in the best home with the coolest (& funniest) parents. Pickles was a dog that we came across in 2023. She was “one of those” dogs—exiled to boarding without any say in the matter. We understand temp boarding is sometimes a necessity to get a dog from point A to B. But Pickles here was sitting in a chain-link outdoor kennel for far too long—with 0️⃣ plans in place.

Pickles was rescued from euthanasia at LA shelter by someone else in 2022. She was then transferred to a 5x10 kennel, where she sat. And sat. And sat some more. She was rescued from one indoor kennel, just to be placed in a different one. One that *many* would state is worse than the shelter environment. Pickles had NO posts or photos on social media—promoting her for adoption..

Barely anyone even knew she existed; that she was rescued. Or that she was desperately searching for a home. She was hidden away with 0️⃣ eyes on her. For far too long.

We got some photos of this precious girl and posted her searching for a Foster. Thankfully Chris and Emily came along and swooped this precious girl off her paws 🐾 to give her the life she was waiting for. They had previously fostered Miss Ophelia ( ) for us before she went off to her Forever Home, so we already *knew* Pickles was in her best home ever.

You can imagine how elated we were when the Queen of Chonks became a Foster Fail! 🥳 ❣️

YAY PICKLES! We 🫶 you!

Oh my goodness! That perfect face! 😍 Would you look at this positively PRECIOUS update from this *extra pretty & petite* Pitty princess? 👑

Who remembers DIANA ( )—rescued from last summer? Diana is such a GORGEOUSLY stunning & sweet dog. It is crazy to think that there was a point when this amazing girl was about to lose her life to euthanasia simply due to shelter overcrowding. 😭

SO glad that didn’t happen! Thankfully our Rescue Org was able to step in and rescue Diana; all thanks to a wonderful Foster who stepped up to offer her home!🏡 Diana received so much love and special care while with her Foster. She really was able to decompress and learn the basics of how to simply “be a dog” again. 🥹

Diana was swooped up pretty soon; adopted by a fabulous fam who loves her so very much. She is the perfect addition to their household and is besties 👯‍♀️ with the daughter, which is absolutely adorable. So glad this sweet girl found LOVE and a HAPPILY EVER AFTER like all dogs deserve!! 💕

Cheese says … “don’t you dare try to steal my sunshine!”☀️ (obv his sunshine is Papa Cheese aka Cheese’s dad Matt).

Now here is a precious update that you guys will love to see!! Mr. Cheese (the hunkiest hunk on the block!) from Downey is doing ✨amazing✨with his absolutely fabulous dad, Matthew.

Matt and Cheese are a totally adorable & dynamic duo that cannot be stopped! We are so elated that Matt welcomed Cheese into the fam, to give him such a wonderful new life.

If you recall, Cheese was almost euthanized last year at Downey ACC in Downey, CA. We were *only* able to rescue Cheese, thanks to his *amazing* Foster Sara stepping up and taking him into her home. She gave Cheese such a stable and wonderful environment where he was able to open up and learn to trust again. (Another honorable mention is Jay —who helped a lot to create Cheese’s safety plan ✅🙏)

We are so happy to see Cheese living the dream in his Forever Home. 🤍 *THIS* is why we rescue. 🛟🐶🫶

🙏

From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys so much. I truly mean it when I say that this community is full of amazing people that I will never be able to properly convey my gratitude for!!!

I am taking your advice to heart because you are entirely accurate. I might want to talk, but that is the most hurtful thing I could do to myself and the dogs in this situation. I hope you can understand. 🙏 My lack of addressing things is not because I don’t want to, but because I simply have to remain quiet for now.

In the meantime, please feel free to email me, send a DM or reach out through the comments!

The biggest way you could actually help right now is by sharing our mission here at . We so badly want to create a transparent, humane, enriching , amazing, welcoming, communal Safe Haven for the animals!

Imagine an intermediary space where animals could come post-shelter to heal and regain confidence prior to advancing to their next stage! Shelter dogs deserve so much more than they are being given. We would love to be that temporary safe space for them. 🩷

If you are interested in learning more, please email me at:

Would absolutely love to set up a zoom meeting with you to discuss our future plans here!!! We are looking for more to get involved.

Thank you for looking into things!!!!! 🙏 please go google the article. There are two sides to every story and the Heigl’s would love for me to be quiet. They could have easily reimbursed my rescue for what was owed and walked away. Instead they want to make it a circus 🎪

03/07/2025

Katherine’s PR team may work hard—but our rescue organization works hard harder. We filed our “fraud” and “intentional tort” suit against the Heigl’s and other defendants in February, but kept our actions secret from the public. 🤫 The Heigl’s desperate attempt to reach the media first with a false narrative proves the *exact* points in our lawsuit. If you attempt to discuss valid issues with the Heigl’s, they bully, attack, and start smear campaigns. For far too long, Katherine and Nancy have harmed innocent, hardworking rescue organizations repeatedly with their false promises of support. Sadly, no one ever stands up to them because of their bullying tactics and “big name”. We have tried for a year to get a response from the Heigl’s with no such luck.

We greatly look forward to exposing the Jason Heigl Foundation for who they truly are. 🩷

Lulu (FKA “Meep”) previously rescued from says “hello” and that she is doing amazing! 🥲 So glad to see this stunning beauty queen doing so well!

Thank you Jay for the beautiful photos and for loving this precious, deserving pup so very much 😭🖤

It’s crazy to think that this sweet adorable dog was once up for euthanasia… but it’s absolutely true! Last summer— Lulu’s life was at-risk, with a scheduled euthanasia date, despite being a FABULOUS dog! But what happens when there are too many dogs at the shelter? They unfortunately start euthanizing perfectly healthy, happy, adoptable dogs to make room for incoming owner surrenders 😭

So grateful that Jay stepped up right in time to give this sweet pup the life she never had. 🥹

Walker from is just the cutest and sweetest boy. Love watching him get the zoomies & get so excited when you talk to him like a baby. He is such a great dog. It’s wild that anyone could give him up.

It’s been over a week that he has been here with us now and so far he is totally non-reactive to other dogs. He is great on and off leash and is not a barker. Sleeps perfectly fine in his crate throughout the night. Is potty trained. Extremely gentle and actually not very treat-motivated. He is more into human affection than treats.

Took lots of photos of him today; here are some + a few precious outtakes that I thought were adorable. He’s got the most beautiful eyes! 😍 The action shots are when he does his excited little “bunny hop” 🐰 with his front two paws. 🐾

When he is extra happy, he runs & kicks both of his front paws out at the same time. It’s the cutest thing ever! It’s raining now; let’s see how he enjoys his potty break in the rain tonight…🌧️🤔

We 🫶 you Good Boy!

(See GoFundMe in bio) Hi guys!!! As you may or may or not know, our Rescue relocated to a wonderful space this past fall with one goal in mind: To Save More Animals! My dad Rick and I have ran our own mini sanctuary and rescue for the last 🔟+ years after my stepmom passed away in 2014. She was super into dog rescue and I like to think she passed along her dog skills to me. For a while I ran and worked at a vet hospital, before realizing just how insane the shelter system was and how much could and SHOULD be done to fix it. Over the years, through lots of dog caretaking, our Rescue org was born. Though we specialize in bully breeds, we NEVER say no to any dog. We have never met a dog too difficult for us to handle. Through years of on the job-training, we learned thru trial and error what works and what doesn’t. Many people get a dog wanting it to be their little robot.. and that’s just not how it goes. We believe in cultivating an atmosphere of respect. We treat our dogs as equals and meet them halfway, never taking them beyond what they are comfortable with. We don’t use e-collars but we see how they can be effective for training. Our goal is to simply take the dog in and give them the life they never had. Over the years we have taken in a variety of dogs with varying temperaments and have made adjustments for them all. Our goal with rescue is to ADOPT OUT, but we have no problem whatsoever keeping the tough cases here with us.

We love dogs so much and are so grateful to have gotten to chance to work with them in the capacity that we have. They are truly a blessing and so wonderful to be around. We have found that by giving a dog ample time and space to trust, they come around on their own terms; no matter how long it may take. We aren’t concerned with forcing a dog to walk three times a day if that’s not their thing. We aren’t going to force dogs to integrate if they are better off as “one dog only” dogs. We treat our dogs like mini humans and never push them farther than what they want to do. We have learned so much about dogs over the years & are so grateful to do what we do. (Cont. in comments)
