Yep, there are FIVE puppies! 🐾❤️ Three little black babies are sound asleep, while two white pups are standing right in the middle of the group!

Yep, these babies also found their way to our Lamar Spay/Neuter Clinic, where their owner decided they no longer wanted them. Thankfully, these five didn’t have to face an uncertain future alone. They received their vaccinations, and many thanks to our wonderful rescue partner, Pawsitive K9 Solutions, for picking up all five and getting them safely into a foster home!

Five puppies rescued.
Five puppies vaccinated.
Five puppies safe.
And five puppies with a chance at happy futures! ❤️🐾

WOOT! WOOT! This is exactly why we do what we do—and why rescue partnerships matter so much!

A huge THANK YOU to Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies and Mary Kenton for their immediate response and dedication when we reached out Thursday morning about Gunner.
Gunner’s owner no longer wanted to keep him, and the timing couldn’t have worked out better. He was able to receive his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip through our Lamar Spay/Neuter Clinic—and then, at the end of the day, Eric from Golden Retriever Rescue arrived to pick him up and headed back to Denver with Gunner safely on board.
From the initial call to getting Gunner the care he needed and safely into rescue, everything came together beautifully. ❤️
We LOVE it when saving a life comes together so efficiently!

Thank you, Mary, Eric, and everyone at Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies for stepping up so quickly for Gunner. We are incredibly grateful for rescue partners who make it possible to say YES when an animal needs us. 🐾❤️

Great day at Rescued Hearts Unique Boutique during their rescue support event. Lots of groups attending all getting a much needed donation! Rescued hearts does a super job of supporting area rescues through the thrift store and work of many wonderful people.
We were fortunate to combine this trip to Colorado Springs and Rescued Hearts with a transport of two littles Brodie and Mia whose momma was going into nursing care and they were headed to a new home! Thanks Terra and Linda and everyone at Rescued Hearts for a wonderful day and much needed donation to help animals in Southeast Colorado!

It is with a heavy heart we share the passing, last night, of Jennifer Nosler, Founder and creator of 'Look What the Cat Brought In'.
❤❤❤
Look What the Cat Brought In was created for cats who needed more time, more medical care, and more patience than many traditional organizations are able to provide.
Rescue is all-consuming. It is a labor of love, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment, and Jennifer embraced that calling every single day. She was a rare, amazing, eclectic, intelligent, and creative woman who devoted every part of herself to saving cats.
Jennifer loved cats—ALL cats. The screamers, the scratchers, the frightened, the forgotten, and those so desperately ill you wondered how they had survived. She welcomed them all.
The rescue community, and cats everywhere, have lost an extraordinary champion.
Rest easy, dear friend. ❤❤❤❤

Tika came to Second Chance, very thin and one of several unwanted dogs. She was a sweet foster dog and quickly became a foster favorite! Her foster home was a farm and Tika quickly learned the ropes and was soooo good and super smart! She learned the 'wait' at the barn door to the chicken coop very quickly and waited there like a champ! Tika was adopted to a wonderful family who also has a farm and horses in the front range. She has grown into an absolutely beautiful, (stunning even!) young dog and looks perfectly in her element and absolutely happy! We are so grateful for this home and the friendship that has evolved out of sweet Tika's adoption.
PHOTOS-Tika now and a couple pictures of her in foster home and at the barn. Thank you Anderson's for the awesome home Tika has with you now and for sharing updates on this most special dog!

SENTENCED TO 475 YEARS IN PRISON
Georgia man Vincent Lemark Burrell was sentenced to 475 years in prison for running a massive illegal dogfighting ring. His landmark sentence—believed to be the longest in U.S. history for animal abuse—was secured after authorities discovered more than 100 dogs living in horrific, malnourished conditions. Burrell was convicted on 103 total counts, which included 93 counts of dogfighting and 10 counts of animal cruelty.
Because Georgia law allows separate felony charges to be applied for each individual animal, Paulding County prosecutors requested the maximum penalty for every count, forcing the sentences to be served consecutively!!!
An alert Amazon delivery driver noticed several dogs chained with heavy restraints in the yard and contacted authorities.
Investigators found 107 pit bulls heavily chained, underweight, scarred, and lacking proper food, water, or shelter. They also discovered training equipment (such as treadmills) and documents linking the property to an organized fighting.
