TRANSPORT COMPLETE!

Today we’re celebrating two very special girls, Chewy and Minnie!
They had the dream team and an incredible village that helped get them safely to their new mama.

A huge thank you to our amazing Flight Angels, Tracy C. for flying LAX ➝ MDW and Rocky for flying MDW ➝ LGA. Your kindness and willingness to help changed these pups’ lives forever. Rescue truly takes a village and we are so grateful for Angels like you.

🐶 Chewy’s Story
Chewy was found alone on a cold, rainy day in Los Angeles back in January. She was just a young puppy, terrified and surviving on the streets. Her rescuers searched for her family, but sadly no one ever came forward. Despite such a difficult beginning, thanks to the TM Crew, Chewy was saved, deeply loved during foster care and finally found a home!

🐶 Minnie’s Story
Minnie’s story is especially heartbreaking. She was found abandoned at an apartment complex shortly after having puppies, but without them. Her finder searched desperately for her babies, but they were never located. Minnie had no microchip, no one claimed her, and she herself was still just a baby. She had already experienced far too much heartbreak far too young. Thankfully, the TM Crew took her in and thrived in foster care.

Now these girls have begun a brand new chapter filled with safety, love and hope. They bonded immediately and are going to have the best life together as sisters!
Thank you again to Tracy, Rocky, , fosters and everyone who helped make this happy ending possible. 🩷

Lupita’s journey to her happily ever after 🤍

After being abandoned while pregnant, Lupita was taken in as a stray by a Los Angeles shelter. worked quickly to find her a safe place, hoping to pull her before she gave birth, but sadly, her puppies were born in the shelter. They brought Lupita and her newborns into a loving foster home where they were surrounded by around the clock love and care. Despite every effort, her puppies passed away one by one. It was an incredibly heartbreaking chapter in her story.

Through it all, Lupita showed resilience. After being spayed, her fosters poured their love into helping her heal. Slowly her joyful, playful spirit returned. The same dog who endured so much loss began to shine.

This journey was made possible thanks to an amazing team effort! Our Flight Angels, Arlinda and Tracy stepped up to get Lupita HOME!
They tag teamed BUR → DAL → AUS, where she met her new mama and the start of her beautiful next chapter.
We are so grateful for both Tracy and Arlinda for donating a part of their day to helping a rescue in need. We couldn’t have done it without them.

Lupita, your story is one of strength, resilience and hope. Your future is bright, sweet girl. Enjoy your happily ever after 🤍

Poppy is officially HOME with her new family! All thanks to the incredible Flight Angels who donated their day to make it happen! This 9 week old sweetheart made quite the journey, with Tracy C flying from Dallas to Houston to Las Vegas, where she met David F for the “Precious Cargo” handoff. From there, David completed the trip to Boise where she landed into her new family’s arms! This was a true team effort and we are so grateful to both Tracy and David for their dedication, time and heart!

Poppy was rescued from BARC in Houston as a tiny pup, and our amazing friends at worked hard to find her the perfect home in Idaho.

Walter’s story is one of resilience, teamwork and second chances. This sweet 10 year old senior was rescued and pulled from the euthanasia list by Project Freedom Ride, who immediately stepped in to give him the care he needed. From there, Silver Snout Senior Dog Rescue took over to continue supporting his journey and ensure he gets the life he deserves.
Despite a neurological condition, Walter is proving that nothing can stand in the way of him living his best life.

This rescue truly took a village. Our friends at DART helped coordinate a meet up halfway to Atlanta, with Sally and Al stepping up for ground transport. We LUV this partnership and can’t thank our friends at DART enough!
From there, Walter made it to ATL where veteran Flight Angel Charlene W took over, flying him safely from ATL to SRQ. We all know Charlene has a heart of GOLD. The LUV she has for rescue pets shines brightly in every transport she does. Bringing hope, compassion and second chances to those who need it most.. 🐶🤍

Because of this entire team effort, Walter now has the future he’s been waiting for. 🤍

Happy Tails!
