YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! We have raised enough to cover all of Ripley’s vet expenses and he is being neutered today! We also have enough to purchase the net, stakes and bungee ties for our own Missy trap!
Ripley had a meet and greet yesterday that went very well and we have a 2nd excellent application as a back-up plan just incase. BSCAR donors - you are the wind beneath our wings! We can do these things because YOU support us! Thank you! ❤️🐾

Sometimes when life is insanely busy and stressful, the universe provides a gorgeous day off to plant and enjoy a happy saved life or two - or ten but who’s counting!😆 Pets, flowers, birds singing, sun shining, music playing and Ripley chilling out = pretty dang perfect. Just breathe…❤️🐾💕

Ripley is doing great with other dogs and starting to use his foot more. He has started barking at cats so we are watching this. He’s going to make the right family a great companion. He can act like a big puppy but all in all, he’s a sweet and fairly chill dude so far!

Ripley wishes a very HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the moms out there.

I know - so many posts today! I’m a little obsessed with this big boy! He absolutely crashed on the car ride - really enjoyed my work sleep mattress pad (not the plan but who could say no?). Then we got home and he met more volunteers. We started to see his silly side! He is a bit of a Velcro dog - wants to be right next to you. He loves snuggling. (I’ll love it when the ticks are all dead…) 🤨

Can’t wait to post his post spa photos tomorrow.

Going for a car ride!

Calling all lab lovers! Ripley is looking for a new home or foster home. He’s a big boy and hasn’t had much training but he’s very friendly and not a bad leash puller. His foot is healing so as of now, we are not doing anything but watching it. His knee and hip X-rays looked good. Dr Jackie consulted with an ortho surgeon and feels the alignment and age of injury showing new bone growth can just be watched. He tested positive for Lyme disease and negative for heartworm. He is on 30 days Doxycycline to combat the Lyme and we are hoping it’s new and can get knocked down. He has his vaccines and preventatives all on board. BSCAR will obviously pay for his neuter.

He would LOVE a farm home with some space to run - maybe even a kiddo or two to call his own. He must be leashed until he learns his new home and that he’s safe so he doesn’t run away after all he’s been through.

Vet thinks he is under 2 years old.

He is going to The Paw Stop tomorrow for Makenna to work her magic.

Please share - we know we must have lab lovers out there. He’s also really in need of a foster home until we find him an adoptive home. Being kenneled in the garage isn’t what we want for him. Can you help?

😭 Our suspicions were indeed spot on. Ripley’s foot is broken due to being shot. Takes a real kind of scumbag to kill dogs. May karma be swift. Just sick and heartbroken thinking about the female. When we first posted about the two dogs - neither were injured. An old truck was seen by neighbors driving around in the area that night and dogs were not seen at this spot again. Then a couple of days later the female was spotted dead in the field 6 miles away. Soon after Ripley was finally seen again and limping.

Apparently there is an imposter Venmo account. If you scan the code directly, it goes to our account. Man I wish scammers would just find something better to do than imitate a non profit. Geez.
To use Venmo - scan the QR code in the photo. There is an imposter account with a simple dash after our name. That is NOT us.
