Rescue isn’t easy, it isn’t glamorous. You don’t get rich or become TikTok famous.
You see things that make normal people go “what the f&ck is wrong with people?!” because they can’t fathom what we see and hear every day in rescue. Sadly, very little shocks us any more.
In the last 10 days there have been rescues around Oklahoma who have taken in “leftover” dogs from a ceremony where they are boiled and eaten. They have taken in dogs from a man who was burning them alive in a barrel. They have removed carcasses of dogs that were left in a metal shipping crate without food or water. I read a story about a rescue that took a cat that was crying and rescued by a neighbor who found it in a cage, wrapped in a trash bag and left on a grill that had been turned on. And just yesterday I had a message from a woman who found 4 dogs crammed into a crate and left on a train track.

We need to do better. Shelters are flooded and begging for adoptions or rescues to help. Rescues can’t find fosters and funds are at an all time low.

Stop yelling at shelters who are forced to euthanize because there isn’t unlimited space. There are so many dogs and cats we would need several airplane hangers just to house them all…then you still have to have the money and manpower to feed, vaccinate and care for them.

Hug your rescuer. Buy the over worked shelter employee a cup of coffee, or just smile at them.
We are all emotionally drained and as I said earlier, we aren’t here for the glamor or to be rich. We are here to help the animals who can’t help themselves. 💔

♥️♥️ Oh my gosh you guys! ♥️♥️
Our rescue kitties are LOVING the new chairs and pillows that JenaLu and Ray donated to our Reacue! Our special needs residents, LaLa (deaf kitty) and Grayson (a tripod) both compete for time on the blue pillow. 😂
All of these kitties are available for adoption! ♥️

My newest foster… she’s not available quite yet!

♥️ Look at this classic beauty ♥️

Mya is a highly intelligent 1.5 year old border collie mix, who is a very rare (almost unheard of) combination of couch potato and medium energy.
When outside or on walks she loves to go! Off lead she has perfect recall, even when chasing a bunny or ball. On lead, she happily walks or trots by your side. As soon as she’s inside, she immediately curls up on her dog bed or near you on the floor.
She’s happy to sleep on your bed at night or on the floor near your bed. Mya is fully house trained and does not need a crate while you are gone. ♥️ Dog, cat, puppy and horse safe! ♥️

We are almost out of dog food. But we have just shy of 1400 pounds of dog and cat food to pick up on Friday. But we need your help to pay for shipping. At only 15 cents a pound, we only have to pay $211.75 for all of that amazing food!

We are currently feeding 34 big dogs and 41 cats in the rescue. We can’t do this without your help. 🙏
You are amazingly appreciated! ❤️
