We Stepped In… Now We Need Your Help

Recently, we found a puppy that had been hit by a car. What we found was more than just one injured puppy… it was a family in need.

This family loves their dogs, but like many, they simply could not afford the cost of care.

Right now, we have three mama dogs being spayed to prevent more litters and break the cycle before it continues. This is how change begins... not just rescue, but prevention.

Every spay means:
Fewer unwanted puppies
Fewer dogs suffering or abandoned
Fewer emergencies like the one that brought us here

But we cannot do this alone.

We are asking for your help to cover the cost of these surgeries and continued care.

If you feel led to give, any amount makes a difference.
If you cannot donate, sharing this helps more than you know.

Together, we are not just saving dogs…
we are changing the future for them.

Announcement: A New Chapter Begins with Luke’s Refuge

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We have an important update to share with you. Our page, which has been known as "Return Luke Home" will now be called "Luke's Refuge"

Many of you know the story of Luke, the dog who touched our hearts in ways we will never forget. After we rescued Luke and nurtured him back to health, he was cruelly stolen from us. Despite our efforts, Luke was never returned. His story has been one of heartbreak, but also one of hope.

In honor of Luke and the love we have for him, we’ve made the decision to continue his legacy by creating a safe haven for other neglected, abused, or abandoned dogs: Luke's Refuge will be dedicated to helping others dogs in need to also be cared for, loved, and provide the safety they deserve, just as we had provided for Luke.

We are also proud to share that Luke's Refuge is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation and registered as a charity with the state of South Carolina. Additionally, we have applied for 501(c)(3) status, and once approved, this will enable us to accept tax-deductible donations While our 501(c)(3) application is pending, please note that any donations made during this time will not be tax-deductible. Your contributions will still make an incredible difference in helping us care for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your support!

This new chapter is deeply personal to us, and we are committed to making a difference in Luke’s name. Thank you for being part of this journey, and we hope you will join us in this mission to provide a safe haven for dogs in need.

With gratitude 🐾
Luke’s Refuge
A Safe Haven for Neglected, Abused, and Abandoned Dogs.

We have both been struggling to create a update/post of the reality of what has been done to us. It has been really hard given the fact we both love Luke and miss him so much. To read through all the documents and see lie after lies, manipulation, and deception is honestly disheartening. This is a miscarriage of justice with allowing For the Love of a Paw and their board members to move our dog Luke out of state with no reprecussion or being held accountable. Attached is a link to Luke’s blog which has a update to the timeline of our filings with the court. We are very heartbroken there really are no other words to describe this pain.

We have been struggling to post this update. As you read through the court filings and the documentation to validate that in our opinion and have always maintained that Brandy Beach Hudson and the board members of For the Love of a Paw (FLOAP) in which she is a director are manipulative, deceptive,....
