SADIE has crossed over The Rainbow Bridge.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/sadie-2/1262

🌈 After 14 years with us, our beautiful SADIE has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

In many places, a dog like SADIE would have been seen only as a liability. When you survive severe abuse, the world has taught you not to trust. For most of her life, SADIE didn’t.

She was fiercely guarded, cage-reactive, and had a bite history—the kind of dog routinely given up on for being too hard or damaged. But at Noah’s Arks Rescue, we know that dogs many call “broken” are often just protecting a shattered heart.

SADIE was part of Noah's Arks long before our Ridgeland facility opened. Arriving at just two years old, she taught us what happens when a traumatized dog is given patience, structure, and a safe place to breathe. If you let her set the pace, you found the softest, most beautiful soul underneath all that armor.

Once you earned your way into SADIE’s inner circle, you were in for life. The guarded exterior melted into cuddles, games of tug-of-war, and begging for ear rubs.

She lived an incredible 16 years—a lifespan dogs with her history almost never see. And she didn’t just survive. She truly lived.

She had her chosen pack. She spent her best years sprinting around the yard with longtime friends Primetime and Hazard, and her senior years taking peaceful walks with Rhett. She had routines, favorite people, a family, and a home.

On May 11, SADIE’s long battle with kidney issues ended. Her body was tired, and we knew the day we had been dreading had finally come. She spent her final hours surrounded by her old friend Hazard and the caretakers she chose to love.

SADIE’s legacy is a beautiful, urgent reminder to never give up on the hard dogs. The ones who bare their teeth are often asking us to understand their fear. The ones who seem impossible may still have a lifetime of love tucked away inside them.

SADIE had that love, and we were so incredibly honored she chose to share it with us. We know that right this very moment, she is running free with Primetime and Rhett.

You were safe. You were known. You were loved.

Goodbye, sweet SADIE.

BEAUFORT, SC...3 y/o Yorkie Needs Medical Care. Please, Help Us, Help Him by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/rocky-yorkie

BEAUFORT, SC…Sometimes the best intentions do not translate into what is truly best for an animal. Adorable Rocky is a 3-year-old Yorkie rescued from an abusive situation by a neighbor who wanted nothing but the best for this tiny pup.

Unfortunately, because of the abuse and neglect he had endured, Rocky struggled in his new home—especially with the family’s 5-year-old son. He would lunge and bite whenever the child reached for one of his toys, reacting out of fear and insecurity. When the family could no longer manage the situation, they reached out to us for help, and I agreed to take him knowing this was a difficult situation for this precious little dog.

Rocky loved the grandparents and wanted nothing more than to lay in their laps all day. They were the ones who met me to hand him over. The moment I saw him, my heart sank. This sweet dog was skin and bones—about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. I was told he was a picky eater and that they were following the exact feeding amounts recommended by their vet.

I held Rocky in my shirt the entire ride back to our rehab facility, and sweet does not even begin to describe him—gentle, trusting, and so loving. Halfway home, I knew we could not wait and took him straight to the vet to rule out parasites or any underlying condition that could explain his rapid weight loss.

Rocky stayed in the hospital while we ran bloodwork, scans—everything to make sure we were not missing anything. The results told a very simple story: Rocky needed food. His bloodwork reflected a dog that had not been receiving enough nourishment for quite some time. He did have a small amount of parasites, but not enough to cause this level of weight loss.

As Dr. MariKay explained, he simply was not getting enough calories to support his metabolism. Somewhere along the way, Rocky was not getting the food he needed. It’s hard to know exactly how this happened, but the result was the same—this tiny pup was starving. The only good news is that the family reached out for help when they could no longer manage the situation. Without intervention, Rocky likely would not have made it much longer.

Today, Rocky is thriving. We carefully managed his refeeding while monitoring for refeeding syndrome and slowly increasing his intake. He has been treated for parasites, neutered, and had a dental to address his teeth and gum issues.

He now eats a normal, healthy amount of food and loves every bite. Most importantly, Rocky is happy, safe, and finally living the life he always deserved.

Please help us cover Rocky’s medical expenses so we can continue to help dogs like him—dogs who simply ended up in the wrong situation and needed a second chance to thrive.

BEAUFORT, SC.....12 w/o Deaf & Blind Dachshund Mix needs medical care. Please, Help Us, Help Him by DONATING

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/pudge

Beaufort, SC.....Thousands of puppies are euthanized every year that should have never been born. If you choose not to spay or neuter your dogs, then you should also be responsible for the puppies they produce. You cannot simply drop them off to be euthanized with the excuse of “Dogs will be Dogs.” The puppies are the ones that suffer for irresponsible breeding.

Backyard breeders should be held to the same standards as licensed breeders. If they breed dogs with known genetic risks, then they should also be responsible for the medical care and lifelong disabilities that can result from poor breeding decisions.

About six weeks ago, a friend reached out to ask if I would help with a deaf and blind puppy. Before I even saw him, I suspected we were dealing with a backyard breeder that had bred two dogs carrying the merle gene.

The merle gene in dogs is a dominant genetic mutation in the PMEL gene that creates the beautiful marbled coat patterns many people love. It can also produce blue or odd-colored eyes. The problem is that two merle dogs should never be bred together. When this happens, there is a very high chance the puppies will become “double merles,” often predominantly white and born deaf, blind, or both because they lack the pigment needed for normal development.

Responsible breeders understand these risks and genetically test their dogs to prevent puppies from being born with these devastating and completely preventable disabilities.

Good-hearted people purchased little Pudge hoping they could help him. Sadly, they soon realized he would require far more medical care, patience, and training than they were financially able to provide. Another rescue stepped in and reached out to us so Pudge could have the best possible life despite his many disabilities.

Pudge is a Dachshund mix and quite possibly one of the sweetest puppies you could ever meet. He loves nuzzling into your neck, feeling your heartbeat, and melting into gentle touches and soft strokes. When Pudge first arrived, he was terrified of the world around him, but slowly he began to realize he could trust us to love him, nurture him, and keep him safe.

Any deaf and blind animal is completely dependent on the people caring for them. They cannot see danger or hear warnings and must rely almost entirely on touch, scent, trust, and routine to navigate their world.

Pudge’s eyes never fully developed and his eyelids were inverted, causing his eyelashes to constantly rub against his eyes. We waited nearly a month hoping his eyes would improve or that the lashes were not causing him discomfort, but sadly that was not the case. After a thorough evaluation with Eye Specialist Dr. Anne Cook, we were told our precious boy’s eyes would either need to be removed or they would remain a constant source of pain, irritation, and infection for the rest of his life.

After weeks of discussion and soul-searching, we made the difficult decision to move forward with eye removal because we knew it would ultimately give Pudge the best quality of life possible.

Pudge had surgery a couple of weeks ago, and I am so happy to report that he has been happier ever since. His eye area has healed beautifully, the dissolvable stitches have caused no issues, and he has shown no desire to rub at his face at all. That alone told us we made the right decision.

If anything, Pudge has become even more playful and confident since his surgery. While we are not sure exactly what he could previously perceive — perhaps light or shadows — he now seems far more secure navigating the world around him. He absolutely loves sniffing around the rehab facility and exploring his surroundings using his other senses.

Double merle dogs can absolutely live long, happy lives when they receive proper training, structure, medical care, and patience. Unfortunately, genetics can also cause additional abnormalities that may not appear until later in life. Right now, the primary issues we know Pudge faces are his blindness and deafness. When he first came to us, he was also severely anemic, although thankfully that appears to have resolved for now. His medical team will continue monitoring him closely to ensure any future issues are caught early.

Pudge will remain with us while we continue working on his training and confidence building. We want to do everything possible to keep him safe while also allowing him to simply be a puppy — exploring his environment, learning routines, and discovering the world through trust, touch, and scent.

Pudge will require lifelong care, ongoing medical monitoring, and specialized training in addition to the surgery he has already undergone. Please consider donating whatever you can so we can continue helping Pudge and other special-needs dogs like him have the chance to live out the lives they deserve.

Being deaf and blind should never be a death sentence for any animal.

Gracie is FOUND.

We want to thank everyone that posted for her and went out to look for our very special girl. Berkeley Hall went out of their way once she was spotted there. We will forever be grateful for your kindness and hospitality in letting us look all over your plantation.

Everyone in the Pinkney Road area which is where she was found looked morning, noon and night for our pup and that is where she was found.

Thank-you to everyone that loves animals as much as we do.

ARLO had to have 2 more surgeries and is still in the Hospital. Please, Help Us, Help Him by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/arlo-guthrie/1261

Arlo has taken us on a journey we never expected—one that feels heartbreakingly similar to another medical battle we’ve faced before. From the very beginning, we knew healing Arlo after the devastating trauma to his head wouldn’t be easy. But we never imagined we would still be fighting this hard, after so many surgeries, just to get him well.

For a brief moment, we thought we were turning a corner. The swelling had gone down, but the drainage remained. Cultures were taken, antibiotics were adjusted, and for an entire month we held onto hope that this would finally resolve. But it didn’t. Instead, we were faced with another surgery—one that required reopening the wound to search for the source of infection. The reality? Tiny bone fragments, nearly impossible to detect, can remain behind and continue causing damage long after the initial injury.

Arlo has endured four surgeries. Right now, he has been hospitalized for over a week following his latest procedure, with no clear timeline for when he can come home. And through all of this… he is still just a puppy. Arlo is full of life, energy, and joy. He wants to run, play, and be with his friends. Despite cones, protective gear, medications, and constant monitoring, he still finds ways to irritate his surgical sites—because he doesn’t understand why he can’t just be a normal, happy pup.

His medical team has had to carefully layer medications to keep him comfortable and calm enough to heal. Even then, his spirit shines through. He walks, he wiggles, he tries to play—he is growing, thriving in spirit, and looking more and more like the boxer mix we believe he is, complete with his adorable underbite and brindle coat.

Arlo is pure love. But behind that sweetness is a long, painful road that is far from over. The original wound above his left eye has reopened multiple times and required repeated closures. We are now using non-dissolvable sutures to ensure nothing is left behind—because even the smallest remaining fragment could cause another infection.

Arlo cannot come home yet. He needs around-the-clock medical care to manage his wounds and give him the best chance to heal fully. And we need your help. The cost of his surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing care has become overwhelming. We are doing everything we can—not just for Arlo, but for all the injured dogs who depend on us every single day.

As you prepare to spend Easter with your families, we ask you to keep Arlo in your hearts. Please consider making a donation to help us continue his care and give him the future he deserves.

Because of you, Arlo is still here.

Because of you, he has a chance.

Thank you for giving him the gift of life—and for standing beside us as we fight for him.

Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful Easter.

Sweet Gracie has still not been found. She was last seen in Berkeley Hall. Several people tried to catch her but they could not. Gracie is very shy and sweet. If you see her, gently call her by using her name but don't chase her.

I have a $1000. reward for anyone that finds her. We are hoping one of the many incredible people we met in Berkeley Hall will be able to catch her.

I am so grateful for the kindness everyone there and the Security Team has shown our Noah's Arks Rescue Team that is looking for her. We want our precious girl home with us. If anyone sees her, please call us at the numbers on the poster below.

Berkeley Hall Security also has all of our numbers.

We shared this tribute with our Instagram family last night, and we wanted to make sure our Facebook community got to read it, too. (Tap the first photo and swipe through to read their stories.)

🐾 Not every rescue journey ends with an adoption; some end with the hardest goodbyes. Today we’re remembering three of our sanctuary dogs who have passed on—the ones who are no longer in our arms, but still everywhere in this place. In the quiet spaces, the routines they helped shape, and the way we love the dogs who come after them… they’re still here. Their joy, their hard-won victories, and their ridiculous little quirks are deeply woven into our Rescue Life.

💛 BUCK: Found abandoned in the freezing cold in 2019, this quiet boy finally learned what it meant to safely enjoy life. A peaceful, “just be near me” friend, he still had sudden spunky bursts of energy. He loved to prance along with his massive playgroup before plunking down in the perfect sunbeam. We’ll always miss his dramatic morning wails for breakfast and his delight over tummy scratches. When his health finally caught up to him, he peacefully let us know it was time.

💛 TREASURE: With us for only 11 months, his will to live left a lifetime impact. Found at 10 years old in a dumpster within a bag of dirty diapers, matted and covered in sores, he emerged an absolute angel. He never once let the unimaginable cruelty of his past dictate his future. Instead of shrinking away from the world, he chose to embrace every single ounce of love our staff poured into him. Despite being blind, mostly deaf, and missing a foot, he softly scooted around in his wheelchair, following his buddies and accepting every kiss offered. When his health issues finally became too much to manage, we peacefully watched our sweet boy say goodbye.

💛 REXI: Born without front legs, REXI and his sister LEXI (still with us) never slowed down. They were inseparable—sleeping curled up together and spending playgroup time in the sun, where REXI would famously use his sister as a giant pillow. We will always remember his photogenic smile, him hiding under his bed from the thunder, his joy at plopping down in the cool green grass, and his demanding bedtime barks. Losing him suddenly to a cardiac episode was hard to process, but holding him was pure joy.

Rescue isn’t just about the time we get to spend with them—it’s about the love that stays behind.

ARLO HAS TO GO BACK FOR SURGERY ON HIS FACE

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/arlo-guthrie/1260

I was really hoping that with all of the antibiotics Arlo has been on, his last draining tract would finally resolve and close. Sadly, that has not happened. We have thrown everything at this infection—both internally and externally—and while we have made progress, it is still there.

The drainage is no longer as heavy and the smell is gone, which tells us we are making some headway. But the tract itself has not closed.

After speaking with his specialists, we have reached the point where surgery is necessary. They will need to go back in, obtain a fresh culture, thoroughly clean the area, and determine exactly where the draining tract is originating. The good news is that Arlo’s fractured skull bones appear to have healed enough that we are no longer at risk of shifting them during the procedure, which makes us much more comfortable moving forward.

At times I feel like Arlo has a little bit of Timber in him. This infection has been just as stubborn. We have been using many of the same protocols that helped Timber recover, and they have gotten us this far—but unfortunately they haven’t been enough to completely stop the infection.

When bacteria sit in a dark pocket like this for a long time, they can slowly eat away at surrounding tissue. The last thing we want is for it to move deeper toward the brain, which is why we need to address it surgically now.

Through all of this, Arlo acts like nothing is wrong. He is sweet, loving, and just wants to play with his pals at Noah’s Arks Rescue. He has gotten so used to us cleaning his wound that he simply sits patiently and then goes right back to being a puppy.

Not much fazes this adorable boy. With that precious underbite, we now believe he may be a Boxer/Lab mix. He is growing like a w**d and will make an incredible family dog once we finally get this infection behind him.

Arlo is perfect in every way—even with his slightly misshaped head from the skull fractures. What happened to him should never have happened. Accidents can occur, but puppies depend on us to protect them. As their guardians, it is our responsibility to keep them safe.

Right now, donations are down, and I’m not sure if it is because of the website or if people simply don’t realize that we survive entirely on donations. I can only keep this ship afloat for so long, and we currently have 42 dogs who need food, medical care, and a safe place to live.

No other rescue takes on the level of medical cases that we do. The bills are enormous, but these dogs deserve a chance.

If you are able, please donate to help Arlo and the many others in our care. If donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this post helps more than you know.

It truly takes a village, and I am so grateful for the incredible NAR Village that has stood beside us for so many years.

Guthrie is doing amazing. I will do an update soon on this precious pup.

Warm hugs and much love… always,

Jennifer
