I know some of you are probably sitting there thinking, “What the hell is she doing? She has over 200 dogs of her own to take care of, she’s constantly asking for help, and now she’s out here trying to help everybody else’s animals too!”

Trust me, I KNOW. 😂

And you’re not wrong.

But here’s the problem. I don’t know how to turn my back on someone who is genuinely trying to do the right thing. Especially when they’ve reached out for help and nobody else has stepped up.

And sometimes, it’s not even about the people. It’s about the animals who have absolutely no say in the situation they’re in.

Look at the Hartford dogs. That was a HUGE undertaking. It cost us time, money, resources, and a whole lot of energy we didn’t exactly have to spare. But you guys stepped up, and together we made a difference. I will always be grateful for that.

Now we’re helping get the six Headland dogs spayed and neutered on Tuesday. Because preventing another litter of unwanted puppies helps EVERY rescue, shelter, and community down the road.

But after Tuesday, I’m going to TRY to mind my own business until the first of the year. 😂

Notice I said TRY. I make absolutely no promises.

The truth is, we have plenty of animals right here at Rescue to the Max who still need veterinary care, spay/neuter appointments, and routine medical updates. We have buildings and fences that need repairs, projects that need finishing, and over 200 mouths depending on us every single day.

And until our 1000 Strong monthly donor program grows enough to give us some financial stability, I’m unfortunately going to keep asking you guys for help. Every week. Probably darn near every day.

Not because I enjoy asking. Believe me, I don’t.

But because the bills don’t stop, the dogs don’t stop eating, and the responsibilities don’t disappear just because the money runs out.

I know I spread myself too thin. I know I take on more than I should. And I know sometimes I need to remind myself that I can’t save everybody.

But it’s awfully hard to look the other way when you know you CAN make a difference.

So I’m going to do my best to focus on the animals already depending on me for the rest of this year.

And to every single one of you who continues to support us, even when I’m off on another one of my rescue missions, THANK YOU. ❤️

You make it possible for me to do what I do, even when I probably shouldn’t be taking on one more thing.

My heart has never been the problem. My budget just can’t keep up with it. 🐾❤️

Two pretty Girls are better than one!!

🐩❤️ TWO HEARTS, ONE FOREVER HOME! Meet Jolene & Saige! ❤️🐩

These two beautiful girls came into rescue together, and one thing has become very clear. Jolene and Saige are a bonded pair, and we want them to spend their golden years together! 🏡❤️

🐩 Meet Saige!

Saige is an 8 year old, 55 pound Standard Poodle. She is about as sweet and easygoing as they come! She's laid back, affectionate, and happy to go with the flow. Saige loves attention, gives the sweetest hugs, and is fantastic in her crate. She's just an all around wonderful girl who deserves a family to love her.

💕 Meet Jolene!

Jolene is an 11 year old, 21 pound Poodle with a BIG personality packed into that little body! She's sweet, sassy, full of life, and absolutely loves being the center of attention. Jolene has been through quite a bit, including having most of her teeth removed because of years of dental neglect. But don't let that fool you! This girl still eats her kibble and enjoys life to the fullest. She has plenty of s***k left in her!

❤️ Better Together! ❤️

One thing we really want people to know about these girls is that having both of them is truly no more trouble than having one dog! They are incredibly well behaved, easy to care for, and an absolute pleasure to have around. Both girls are wonderful for bathing and grooming, and they actually enjoy being pampered! They are the kind of dogs that make you wonder how anyone could be lucky enough to have TWO such wonderful companions.

These girls have already experienced losing the only home they knew when their previous owner could no longer keep them. They've had each other through all the changes, and we don't want them to lose that bond, too.

We know finding a home willing to adopt TWO senior Poodles, especially one being a Standard Poodle, might not be easy. But please don't let the thought of adopting two dogs scare you away. These girls are so well behaved and easygoing that having both is truly a joy!

They aren't puppies. They aren't the youngest dogs in rescue. But they have so much love left to give, and they deserve the security of knowing they'll never have to start over again.

We are looking for ONE forever home for BOTH girls. They will not be separated. ❤️

Please share Jolene and Saige! Somewhere out there is a family who doesn't even know they're missing these two beautiful girls. Let's help them find each other! 🐩💕

🐾 SIX DOGS. $750. LET’S BREAK THE CYCLE! 🐾

💙 PREVENTION IS RESCUE, TOO! 💙

This Tuesday, November 3rd, Rescue to the Max has arranged for one mama dog and her five puppies from Headland, Alabama, to be spayed and neutered at Wiregrass Spay Neuter Alliance.

🐶 6 dogs × $125 = $750 needed!

We’re helping a pet owner who wants to do the responsible thing, and that’s something we should ALL support!

Our rescues and shelters are overflowing. Instead of waiting for another unwanted litter to be born, we’re stepping in to prevent it.

Every litter prevented means fewer dogs entering overcrowded shelters and rescues. This benefits ALL rescues, shelters, and communities — not just ours!

❤️ CAN YOU HELP US RAISE $750 BY TUESDAY?

Every $5, $10, or $20 gets us closer!

🌧️🐾 RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY… THIS RESCUE HAS HAD ENOUGH TODAY! 🐾🌧️

I know we need the rain, and normally I absolutely LOVE a rainy day. But let me tell you, there’s a BIG difference between enjoying the rain and running a rescue with over 200 dogs in it! 🤦‍♀️😂

Everything is WET! The dogs are wet. The floors are wet. The bedding is wet. I’m wet! And every time I turn around, another soaking-wet dog is rubbing up against me like I’m their personal bath towel!

The floors don’t even have time to dry after I mop them before another parade of muddy paws comes marching through. And that lovely wet-dog smell? Yeah, it’s EVERYWHERE! 🐕💦

I started this morning almost TWO HOURS behind schedule, and that’s WITH the extra hour we got from the time change! Figure that one out! 🤣

And because apparently the universe decided I needed one more project added to my never-ending list, I walked outside to discover that the frame of one of our outdoor kennel roofs had collapsed under the weight of the rainwater.

Yep. Another thing to replace. Another expense. Another project. Just what I needed!

Thankfully, the dogs are smarter than the weather and have taken refuge in one of our shipping containers. At least somebody around here has figured out how to stay dry! 😂❤️

I’m not even going to pretend I’m feeling positive and motivated today. I’m tired, I’m soaked, I’m behind, and I’m just plain miserable!

But the dogs still need feeding, the laundry still needs washing, the floors still need mopping, and life at Rescue to the Max doesn’t stop just because Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum.

So here we go. One muddy paw print at a time.

If anybody needs me, I’ll be the soggy redhead wandering around the property smelling like 200 wet dogs. 🤣🐾

🐾❤️ SUNLAND FALL FESTIVAL UPDATE — SOME MUCH-NEEDED GOOD NEWS! ❤️🐾

Yesterday was a GOOD day for Rescue to the Max, and goodness knows we needed one!

Between raffle ticket sales, donations, and sales of our handcrafted vendor items, we raised an incredible…

🎉💰 $791 IN JUST ONE DAY!! 💰🎉

That is HUGE for our little rescue, especially considering what we’re facing this coming week!

But let me put that $791 into perspective.

We have six dogs from Headland scheduled for spay/neuter surgeries on Tuesday, November 3rd, at a total cost of $750!

If we aren’t able to raise the funds specifically for those surgeries, we will use yesterday’s proceeds to cover them.

That means $750 of the $791 we worked so hard to raise yesterday will be gone in one day, leaving us with just $41!

And that’s before we even get into our regular feeding expenses, utilities, medications, and everything else it takes to care for over 200 dogs.

But here’s the thing. Those six dogs getting fixed means preventing future unwanted litters, and that is absolutely worth investing in. Prevention IS rescue, too!

❤️🐾 NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT HOPE!

I actually have some GOOD news!

I was going to say she’s doing a LOT better, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What I can tell you is that SHE IS IMPROVING!

🐾 She’s attempting to walk!

🐾 She’s wagging her tail!

🐾 She’s standing on her own for a few seconds at a time!

🐾 And she is NOT happy about being confined to her crate!

She even got upset because she had an accident and peed on herself in her crate. Our girl wants to be up, moving around, and doing all the things dogs do!

We’ve already received approximately $600 in donations toward Hope’s medical care, and we are incredibly grateful.

Tomorrow afternoon, Monday, November 2nd, Hope will be heading to Tallahassee to see a specialist.

We’re hoping and praying that her recovery will require nothing more than medication, including prednisone, and strict crate rest. But we need the specialists to evaluate her spine and help us determine the best treatment plan.

We are cautiously optimistic, but we’re not taking any chances with this sweet girl. She’s already been through entirely too much.

❤️ SO YES, YESTERDAY WAS A WIN!

Financially, we still have a mountain to climb. The money we raised yesterday may be spoken for almost immediately, and Hope’s medical expenses are still an unknown.

But we raised $791. We have six dogs scheduled to be fixed. Hope is showing signs of improvement. And we had an incredible group of people representing our rescue and supporting our mission.

Those are victories, and I’m going to celebrate every single one of them!

To everyone who purchased a raffle ticket, bought something from our tables, donated, volunteered, or simply stopped by to show support…

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ❤️

You didn’t just help us raise money. You gave this very tired rescue director a little encouragement to keep pushing forward.

And believe me, I needed that.

Here’s hoping November brings more good news, more wagging tails, and a whole lot of healing! ❤️🐾

Rescue to the Max: Max’s Legacy Inc.

Because every life matters. ❤️

🐾 We are gonna hold off on asking for any money to help with hope’s vet right now. We’re going to pray that she needs nothing more than R&R and some steroids.🙏🏻
But we will update everyone once we speak to the specialist.

🎃🧡 A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO OUR AMAZING CREW!! 🧡🎃

I want to take a minute to give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who showed up today and helped represent Rescue to the Max: Max’s Legacy Inc. at the Sunland Fall Festival! 🐾❤️

👏 Kelly, Sarah, Carol & Jeff, “R”, Sami & Luis, and ALL the kids!! 👏

You guys are absolutely AMAZING!!

From setting everything up to running the booths, selling raffle tickets, entertaining the kids, talking to visitors, and everything in between, you all stepped up and made today possible!

While I was home taking care of our four-legged crew, you guys were out there representing our rescue, spreading awareness, and putting in the work to help support the animals who depend on us every single day.

I know how much time, effort, and energy goes into pulling something like this together, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate every single one of you!

Rescue isn’t just about saving animals. It’s also about the people who show up, give their time, and help carry the load when there’s simply too much for one person to do.

You are my people, and I couldn’t do this without you! ❤️

And to everyone who stopped by our booths, bought raffle tickets, made a purchase, donated, or simply took the time to learn about our rescue — THANK YOU!!

🐾 From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of every animal here at Rescue to the Max, THANK YOU for making today special! 🐾
