Maple (formerly Marsha) got her forever home in the very best of homes. Skylar has been a foster for several years and has been patiently waiting for a Golden Retriever that needed rescued. As soon as she saw Maple she knew she was the one!

We can't be more thrilled for her and her new family after a very tough start as a puppy mill mama.

It's only up from here Maple! ❤️🩷

Check out Bella glamping alongside her amazing forever family.

Bella came into our program 2 years ago as a trauma survivor. You see Bella had been a puppy mill mama and after not being able to have puppies anymore she was dumped. She lived a dark scary life and hadn't known kindness that is of course until we took her into our program.

We are so blessed to have been a part of this special girls story and help her to the very best forever family. Adoption saves lives and there are so many pure bred dogs out there looking for homes!

Please consider adoption. These dogs are absolutely amazing and so appreciative of their new lives! Please check out our website operationsaves.com and who knows maybe you will find your new forever best friend!

Together we are saving the world for animals just like Bella.

Special thank you to his devoted foster Mama Mona. Thank you for taking him in and giving him a gentle place to decompress and learn to be a dog after a not so kind start. We couldnt have done this without you! Fostering saves lives!

It's a sad night here at the sanctuary. Trigger warning this post is about dog death.😭

5 days ago we were made aware of 3 adorable adoptable dogs who found themselves down at Lc4 and needing placement. I took all 3 of them in and we immediately started to allow them to decompress and see just how awesome being a dog can be. One of the trio however was quite fragile and it was evident life had not been kind to her at all.

You see- this dog whom we affectionately named Gladys was estimated to be around 12-14 years old. A good Samaritan found her in a tote inside Ottawa Park and brought her to lc4. She was matted down to the skin and not in the best of health however she was still eating /drinking so we chose to give her the best hospice home possible until her time came.

Shelton Darah donated a groom to her and carefully freed her from her matts. She wasnt the biggest fan of this part and showed us her spicy side lol however she loved her warm bath and enjoyed being wrapped up in a warm towel while Shelbie carried her around. She had quite an appetite and we let her eat whatever she desired. She got to spend every night on a clean warm bed with unlimited cuddles and snacks. That is until today. This afternoon she just wasnt herself. She began dragging her legs and could no longer hold her bowels. We believe she had a stroke and because of her frail state and advanced age we made the difficult decision to let her go peacefully surrounded by her devoted care giver Shelbie. She got chicken nuggets before her appointment and got to watch the sun set one last time. It was not at all what we wanted for this very special girl but we are so happy in her final days she got to know love,kindness, and empathy. She left this world knowing what it was like to be loved and although we are all heart broken we are all so happy yo have had the opportunity to give the gift of love to little Gladys.

To the people who dumped her elderly and alone in a tote in the park in the heat- please know both lc4 and ourselves gave this dog the very best life imaginable until the end. We are so blessed to have gotten to love Gladys and give her everything she should have had prior. Even if it was only 5 days she had an amazing 5 days. This is what rescue is about- helping those without a voice live the happiest lives.

We knew Gladys would never be adopted and we knew she would spend her days with us. One of the reasons our sanctuary is special os we are able to take dogs others cant and still give them the gift of life. We knew her story wouldn't end with a happy ending but we still were able to give her a wonderful life even if it only was 5 days. We desperately are in need of donations so we are able to help dogs like Gladys. With your help we are trying to save the world one Gladys at a time.

If you would like to donate in Gladys honor you can do so by visiting our Venmo- operationsaves or paypal. Paypal.me/operationsaves. As a volunteer based rescue every penny donated goes directly back into Saving animals like Gladys. All checks/cash donations can be mailed or brought in directly to our sanctuary located at 1429 Baronial Plaza Dr. 43615.

We couldnt do what we do without the kindness and generosity of our community. From the bottom of our hearts thanks you so much.

Meet Daisy – Your Lovable, Oversized Shadow! 🌼🐾

Say hello to Daisy, a 2-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws! True to her breed, Daisy is a classic goofball—playful, silly, and full of love. Whether she’s galloping around the yard with her canine friends or trying to curl up in your lap like she’s a 10-pound pup, Daisy brings joy and laughter wherever she goes.

Daisy is:

✅ Friendly with other dogs and loves having a playmate

✅ Affectionate, goofy, and wonderfully awkward in the most endearing way

✅ A total “Velcro dog” who wants nothing more than to be by your side 24/7. She’s the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, rest her giant head in your lap, and make you feel like the most important person in the world. But with that deep loyalty comes a challenge: Daisy struggles with separation anxiety. She bonds quickly and deeply, and being alone is hard for her.

The ideal home for Daisy would be one where:

-Someone is home most of the time (work-from-home is a big plus!)

-She has another friendly, confident dog to help her feel secure

-Her people are patient, gentle, and committed to helping her build confidence

Daisy is house-trained, familiar with the crate (though not her favorite place), and eager to please. With a little time and a lot of love, she’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion she’s meant to be.

If you’ve been looking for a big-hearted, wiggly, snuggly best friend, Daisy might just be your perfect match. 💛

Apply to adopt Daisy today and let her fill your home (and couch) with love!

This looks like a picture of a dog just sitting in a car right? Well- its so much more.

Saving dogs from the amish puppy mills can be very trying as most have not had any socialization and life hasnt been kind to them. Everyday dog things like a car ride or going up stairs can be the absolute most frightening thing. Poor Marsha has shown just how terrifying (and amazing) being a dog can be.

Marsha is a ex mill mama- she came directly from the mills on Friday and immediately came into my home as my foster as we wait for a foster to adopt situation for her. Right away I have fallen in love with her kind demeanor. She just wants to crawl into my skin. She's unsure about stairs and is figuring out people aren't so bad but the car- the car is quite scary to her. The issue is I load up most of my dogs and take them to work with me everyday a task Marsha has not be found of.

I have had to pick up this girl to place her into my van. Not an easy task because shes quite heavy. Once in the van she pancakes. Almost like she has no clue what to think. Its broken my heart but since she's so new she can't just stay at my home unsupervised so the car has become a necessary evil for this sweet girl. Then today happened.

As I loaded up my dogs ,who by the way think car time is the absolute best because cars equal pup cups I dreaded Marshas entry. I walked over to the car and she velcroed to my leg all the way there and then she looked at me big goofy Golden Retriever smile and hopped right in like shes done it her whole life. Im not gonna lie my eyes filled up with tears. This girl who has made myself and my children pick her up into the car trusted me enough to know that the car wasnt so bad. She hopped in, sat down, and we drove to work without a hitch!

If your ever on the fence about adopting a mill dog please know these dogs have had trauma and yes it can take a while but when they open up they will bond to you like none other.

Whomever adopts Marsha is going to hit the Golden Retriever jack pot! This sweet girl is so well behaved, excelling in potty training, and learning that being a dog is really quite amazing.

We desperately are seeking donations towards vet care for the 4 dogs we saved this weekend. One of Doxies has already seen a vet due to her terrible and painful dental issues. Special thanks to South Suburban Vet clinic for getting our sweet Lulu in and helping her feel better🩷

If you can donate please use our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or our Venmo- operationsaves. All checks and cash donations can be accepted at our sanctuary located at 1429 Baronial Plaza Toledo Phio 43615.

We cannot continue to do what we do without the monetary support of our community. With a full fledge animal sanctuary the cost to maintain care is overwhelming. Please note as a volunteer based rescue every penny donated goes directly back into Saving animals like Marsha.

Together we are saving the world one ex mill dog at a time. 🩷
