It’s hard to even put into words what we walked into. 💔

A local veteran on disability started taking in dogs one by one, simply trying to help. Over time, the situation became overwhelming, and before he knew it, there were around 60+ dogs depending on him. This was never a case of cruelty or neglect — these dogs have been loved, fed, and cared for. He even told us there were times he fed the dogs before feeding himself.

Thankfully, several rescues have now come together to help, and together we’ve already removed many dogs from the property. At this point, there are about 15 dogs remaining, mostly adults, and our goal this week is to vaccinate every dog and immediately begin getting them spayed and neutered. The owner plans to keep about six of his personal dogs, which we fully support.

This has been emotional and overwhelming for everyone involved, but it’s also been beautiful to see so many people step up with compassion instead of judgment. ❤️

Right now we urgently need help with:
🐾 Vaccines
🐾 Spay & neuter surgeries
🐾 Dewormers
🐾 Water bowls
🐾 Dog food

Some incredibly kind people have even offered to help this gentleman with groceries while we work through this situation.

We’ve put together an Amazon wish list with much-needed supplies including bowls, food, and dewormers. If you’d like to help financially, donations toward veterinary care and surgeries through Compassion Pet Care
205-409-6150 would mean the world to us. Or our PayPal or Venmo

If anyone is interested in adopting, these dogs appear to be Lab/Collie mixes and they are absolutely beautiful dogs who deserve loving homes. Most are adults, so finding placement may take a little longer, but we know the right families are out there for them. ❤️

These dogs are beautiful, deserving souls, and we are so grateful to be part of helping them get the care and future they deserve. We’ll continue to keep everyone updated as we move forward.

Another incredible group of pets found their forever homes last week, and we couldn’t be more grateful. ❤️

It truly takes a village to make these happy endings possible. From our amazing supporters and our dedicated vets and staff, to the transport teams who help get our pets where they need to go, and the talented photographers who capture their personalities so beautifully—you all play such an important role in their journey.

Most of all, we are deeply thankful for the adopters who opened their hearts and homes. You are the reason these pets get the second chance they deserve.

We wish each and every one of them a lifetime filled with love, health, and happiness. Thank you for being part of our community and making moments like this possible. 🐾

We also have this lightening fast boy! Oliver is being rehomed because his owner doesn’t have the time to give him that he needs. Oliver is high energy, he would be amazing at agility! Let us know if you’re interested in giving 3 year old Oliver a forever home!

🐾 Kittens Available for Adoption – Local & New England Transport! 🐾

We have several adorable kittens looking for loving homes both locally and in the New England area!

Our youngest babies, the Spice Kittens, are only 8 weeks old. Because they’re so young, they should be adopted in pairs or go to homes with another young pet to help them learn, play, and grow.

Charlie & Gizmo are a bonded pair and must be adopted together—they’re best friends and truly thrive with each other.

✨ All kittens are:
✔️ Spayed/neutered
✔️ Up-to-date on vaccines
✔️ Healthy and ready for their forever homes

🚐 Transport to New England is available Wednesday the 29th!
Perfect timing to welcome a young kitten (or two!) into your home.

If you’re interested in adopting, you can view all of our available pets here: We’re located in AL but transport all the way to RI.

We’re searching for patient, loving homes for seven very special boys in our rescue 💙

We have two groups:

🐾 Group One: Cotton, Fluffy, Pumpkin, all born last June.
All are male, neutered, fully vaccinated, Fiv/Felv negative and microchipped. These boys are shy and will need time to adjust, but as you can see, once they feel safe in their home, they do relax and start to trust. They just need someone willing to give them that chance.

🐾 Group Two: 4 Siamese boys Theo, Milo, Max and Oliver. Also all male, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped fiv/felv negative. Theo and Max are a little unsure at first but will allow handling and being picked up. Milo and Oliver will need a bit more time and patience—but they are absolutely beautiful and very worth it. They do well with other cats, which helps their confidence.

These cats are not “instant” pets—but they are the kind that will bond deeply with the right person. If you have a calm home and a kind heart, you could truly change their lives.

📍 We are looking for local adopters in Alabama only—
📄 Adoption application will be attached.

If you’ve ever thought about helping a shy cat come out of their shell, this is your chance. They just need someone to believe in them.

Adoption fee: $75 each

Happy Easter from all of us at the rescue! 🐣💛

We are so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who donated, shared, prayed, and sent good wishes for the Greene County box pups. Because of your kindness and support, all 5 puppies are thriving and doing amazing! They’ve even started sampling wet food—such a big milestone!

It truly takes a village, and we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for being part of their journey and giving them a chance at a happy, healthy life. 🐶💕
