My first surgery coming up June 8th and my second surgery July 3rd, I really need to get the puppies rehomed beforehand and downsize the herd a bit. We normally keep our elderly animals for life, but physically I’m not going to be able to manage puppies during recovery.

Luna – approximately 4 months old, lab/shepherd mix. Extremely affectionate and honestly just a chronic lover. She loves to lick everyone and wants to be involved in everything you do. Very high energy, but once she gets it out she’s happy to cuddle and relax. Not fixed. Kennel trained, recall trained, and knows sit.

Diesel – also around 4 months old, lab/shepherd mix from the same litter (supposedly). He is rowdy, goofy, and full of energy. Loves to play constantly and would do best with someone active. Not fixed. Kennel trained, recall trained, and knows sit.

Arlo – around 2-4 years old and full grown. Very playful and energetic. He will jump when excited, but if you stay consistent with him he does very well. Loves to run, snuggle, and be around people. Kennel trained and knows sit.

Please share if you know someone looking. I really want them placed before surgeries so I know they’re settled and cared for.

One of our past rescues has come back home due to the family facing severe financial hardship and possible homelessness. We want people to know that at Rejects and Rehab Inc., our rescues are ALWAYS welcome back if needed. No judgment, just support for both the animals and the people involved.

Along with this dog, the family also surrendered two additional puppies knowing they would be safe, loved, trained, and cared for here before being responsibly rehomed. While I usually keep our senior animals long-term, puppies are generally not intended to stay permanently here — though we do still have two that never found the right homes and remain part of our family.

Right now, things are especially difficult. I currently have a broken tibia and multiple broken bones in my foot. I am supposed to be completely non-weight bearing and have upcoming surgeries on both my foot and wrist. Because of this, I haven’t been able to work like I normally do to personally cover rescue expenses when donations are low.

Our board members are also dealing with their own hardships right now, so we are asking for help. Even $1 makes a difference toward food, supplies, veterinary care, and housing these new fosters while we work with them over the next two weeks on basic manners, structure, and care before adoption.

If you would like to help support these animals, donations can be sent to:

Venmo and Paypal-RejectsandRehabinc

Thank you for always supporting the animals that need us most. ❤️

Running Rejects and Rehab Inc. has never been easy—but lately it’s really been a one-woman show.

My board members have had life happen (as it does), and right now we don’t have volunteers. At the moment, we’re caring for 6 dogs and 3 horses, and when donations aren’t there, they’re fed out of my own pocket. No matter what, they are cared for, safe, and loved every single day.

This has always been bigger than just rescue for me. The dream is to build a space where we can offer life counseling, grief groups, ACA support, and more—using these animals as part of the healing process. But until I can fund and build a proper barn and space, that part is on hold.

Still, we keep going. Every single day. We will not quit and we will get there!

If you’ve ever supported, donated, shared, or even just believed in this mission—thank you.

Your story is not over. God is still writing it. 🖤

Moving on is not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes the people who hurt us will never explain why they did what they did. Asking for answers often just leads to them shaming or guilting us so they don’t have to face their own actions. Healing sometimes means accepting that closure won’t come from them—it has to come from choosing peace for yourself and letting go anyway.

If you stay silent about an issue, there is a 100% chance nothing will change.

Speaking up may feel uncomfortable. It may bring disagreement or even criticism. But every change in history started because someone decided that silence was no longer an option.

Your voice has value. Your perspective matters. Progress doesn’t happen when people stay quiet — it happens when people care enough to speak.

Even if your voice shakes, use it.

This is a completely new era—one that no generation before us has fully experienced. Since the beginning of human history, survival depended on community. People relied on extended family systems and close networks because they had to. Independence simply wasn’t an option for most.

Today, while independence can sometimes feel isolating, it is possible for one person to obtain employment, secure housing, and live independently without relying on a partner or extended family. That level of autonomy is historically unprecedented.

In the past, many individuals—particularly women—were forced to remain in unhealthy relationships for financial survival. Access to credit and housing was often restricted. It wasn’t until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 that lenders were prohibited from discriminating based on s*x or marital status, allowing women to obtain credit in their own names. Legislative shifts like this fundamentally changed relational dynamics because staying was no longer tied strictly to survival.

And that’s where perspective matters.

For the first time in history, many relationships exist by choice—not necessity. People can leave. They can support themselves. They can build independently.

So when someone chooses to stay, to work through conflict, to communicate, to grow alongside you—that is intentional.

That is not survival.

That is commitment.

In a world where autonomy is accessible, loyalty is no longer forced—it’s chosen. And there is something powerful about appreciating the people who stay and try to build, heal, and grow with you rather than because they have to.
