Hello everyone, it’s been awhile!

With the chaos of life lately and some personal health issues I have been battling, we haven’t been posting very frequently and for that I apologize. Thankfully because of donations we received earlier in the year we haven’t needed a whole lot ❤️

We are still closed for intake, and will be for awhile yet.

However, we are now running low on food and supplies and have a few bills for the rescue coming up that we could really use help with! We also desperately need a new doggy door as our old one has broken. (See our Amazon wishlist)

Dog food wise we are in need of 4Health Salmon and sweet potato dry dog food. (Unfortunately there is not a way for us to create a wishlist through Tractor supply)
We are going through ONE 50lb bag of food a week right now, and the cost per bag is about $45.

This food has been the best for the senior and special needs pups in our care, and we would really like to keep them on it!

If you are able contribute to help us purchase
some more food and needed supplies you may send a monetary donation to our PayPal:

Or you may purchase supplies directly off our Amazon wishlist using this link, which will ship right to us:

With the 4th of July coming up, please be mindful of your pets. Shelters end up with an abundance of stray dogs (and sometimes cats), coming in the entire week surrounding the 4th. Please keep your dogs (and cats) in a quiet, safe and secure place. (Also a good time to get a pet microchipped to ensure they get home faster).

Adoptable duo alert! Rare opportunity to find these sweet breeds in rescue. Parker is a 9 year old golden retriever and Onyx is a 9 year old British lab - they are both GOOD BOYS and they know it! Super friendly, playful, sweet, love people, lots of tail wags. They have been together lifelong and will need to remain together. Don’t let their age fool you - they are active dogs that will need an active owner who can take them on walks and help Onyx lose some weight. They are well loved by their owners who can no longer care for them due to health issues. We are looking forward to finding a family that can continue that love.

Thank you all for your support! Koby's Promise is back on our feet and we started taking in rescues last month.

Currently we have 10 dogs & 8 cats in our care:
*6 adoptable dogs: Brian, Toby, Theodore, Milly, Elvis & Pixie (a bonded pair)

*4 adoptable cats: Copper, Stevie, Midnight & Luna.

*2 special needs/hospice dogs:
-Clyde, a 16yo Boxer mix, was one of our Therapy dogs pre-COVID and is now just being spoiled as we manage his old age/end of life
issues.

-Winston, 14yo, is one of the 14 Miniature Poodle mix pups abandoned in Kent County in Dec 2021. He has been with us for 18 months with no adoption or foster interest. He is 99% blind due to cataracts. Winston is a happy, healthy, blind pup who still has so much love to give.

*2 special needs/hospice cats:
-Tilly, who has severe dental disease & is in kidney failure.

-Charley, has a slew of issues & will be assessed by the vet next week.

*2 dogs in our Koby's Companion (KC) Program:
-Peaches,who originally ended up in a shelter due to her family not being able to care for her skin issues. She has been Belinda's loving companion for the last year.

-Chip (one of the Kent county poodles) has recently joined Pamala and her family, he is the 4th dog she has fostered for us since in the KC program since 2018. Pamala has recently had another stroke, having a furry companion has been instrumental in her recovery.

*2 cats in our Koby's Companion (KC) Program:

-Carl and Terri have been fostering cats since the program's inception 6 years ago. They came to us through our partnership with Meals On Wheels.
Mamasita is Carl's companion animal, and Carley lives with Terri.

Sadly we lost quite a few of our KC program human and dog participants since COVID. With the help of our Patreon supporters we hope to get this program back up to the level we were at in 2017 when we had 12 animals paired with seniors, veterans & persons with disabilities in our community.

Once again, thank you for your continuing support! We’re sorry it has taken so long to update everyone, but appreciate your patience as we navigated some difficult times ❤️

Pictures of the available pups are below, please email us with adoption inquiries and we will direct you to our application!

An application, Home visit, adoption fee and contract signing is required for every adoption.

🌟All of the animals in our care right now also need sponsors, please message us on Facebook to sign up as a sponsor! Sponsoring is $50 a month, and it works just like a subscription through Patreon.🌟
