Today’s PUPDATE: 10/10/2026
DONATIONS are still needed. Her rescue vetting is well beyond what this rescue can handle. Your donations are all tax deductible. The Ned of the year is coming soon. This is a help toward your taxes.
Ida is adjusting. She’s doing very well. Her curiosity gets the best of her. She is so curious about almost everything she sees. So I let her explore whatever within reason. She seems to learn quickly. In the first day I felt my biggest challenge was with the way she would snap treats out of your hand. I mean she snaps quick and very hard. She caught my hand more time than I want to admit. I referenced was to control that or ever effective discipline. Everything I learned and read was not effective. The. Suddenly it seems like she has caught on. She is taking treats much softer , but with encouragement with every treat offered. Her latest curiosity adventure, what this a kitty ? The kitty smacked her really good, even injuring her ear. She knows THAT kitty will get you, oh but what about this one? Curiosity continues.
She slept better last night , really well That was her best night yet.
One would think with her being out in the elements the way she has been for such a long time but rain wouldn’t bother her. So when I got home today, it was raining and I went to let them out and she ran outside and then I’m running right back in. I said I thought you’d be the one that stayed out the longest. She decided that that was not for her. So we had to wait until the rain slacked off to go back out and she really wasn’t a real big fan of it even with a few sprinkles going on. I’m hoping she’s grateful for her life so far.
We are still looking for a Foster Home or Foster to adopt Home for her. Her heartworm treatment starts on Tuesday and we will endure that for 30 days.. I am more comfortable with her here so I can watch her and control her during her treatment. It’s very very important. But soon after that should be ready for her new home. She will get out of heartworm treatment on November 12 .

PUPDATE : 10/8 @ 11:45 am
We are currently at the vet getting everything done. She has done very well this morning. She is somewhat confused, but excited. She wants to be everybody’s friend.
Y’all please please share , she needs a chance.
Foster needed!
We are in an emergency situation. We need a foster family for a new bigger dog, about 45 to 50 lbs . She is going to the vet tomorrow to be spayed, check up and shots. She is in need of a fenced in yard. She would do good with another outside dog that is willing to play and share adventures with her. She would need to be fed separately. We took her out of less that favorable conditions. She’s a Catahoula bloodhound mix. She is a good girl that needs a gentle hand and soft voice to be taught simple manners. She does know what sit and down mean. She is attentive , but has been very forgotten about. If you’d like to provide this sweet girl with a temporary home, please let us know. We need a socialized environment. She’s about four or five years old. She does very well in the car , she just loves to ride . She is a sweet girl that has been starved for attention. She knows trust and interaction. She will do well with an outside situation as she was never allowed to come in the house. Anyone willing to introduce her to a little walk through their house every now and then and slowly get her acclimated to what inside a house really is. We will post picture tomorrow as it was dark when we picked her up .
