We have seen this with dogs, cats, and yes, pigs. Some arrive frightened, unsure, or afraid to trust. Watching them slowly realize they’re safe, that gentle hands won’t hurt them and love won’t disappear, is one of the most beautiful parts of rescue. Their past doesn’t make them any less worthy of a future filled with love. ♥️ Always adopt.

I can’t stress this enough 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

WASH the bowl.

Seriously.

Pet food bowls are not decorative objects. They are food contact surfaces, and the FDA specifically recommends washing pet food bowls with soap and hot water after each use. Water bowls should be washed daily.

And honestly, I think people underestimate how gross they can get.

Food residue.

Saliva.

Moisture.

Bits of kibble sitting in corners.

Then the next meal gets dumped right on top.

If you would not eat dinner off the same dirty plate for three days straight, your dog should not have to either.

Especially if you feed wet food or raw food, where cleanliness matters even more. FDA guidance for raw pet food recommends washing surfaces and bowls thoroughly with hot soapy water and disinfecting when appropriate.

The funny part is people will buy premium food, supplements, filtered water, fancy probiotics, and a $70 orthopedic bowl stand...

Then leave yesterday’s crust glued to the dish.

You do not need a complicated pet wellness routine.

Sometimes the boring stuff matters most.

Clean bowl.

Fresh water.

Every day.

For the love of all things, please stop acquiring working breed dogs as family pets unless you have the time, space, knowledge and understanding that come with them.

Your cattle dog is nipping at and herding your kids? No sh*t. That's what they were bred to do-herd.

Your Belgian Malinois is destroying your house because he's left alone and/or crated most of the day? Mind blown.

I am so tired of getting calls from people needing to rehome their working breed dog because they're overwhelmed by completely predictable breed traits or because they have a high drive working dog living in a two bedroom apartment with nowhere near enough physical or mental stimulation.

Please do your research before bringing home ANY breed of dog. And I don't mean watching a few cute TikToks or liking the way a breed looks. Learn what that breed was created to do, what its exercise and training needs are, what behaviors are instinctive and whether those needs realistically fit your life.

Make sure you have the time, patience, money, space, commitment, and knowledge to care for that dog properly, not just as a puppy, but for the next 10-15 years.

Dogs should not have to lose their homes for doing exactly what humans bred them to do.
Choose the dog that fits the life you actually live, not the dog you simply like the look of. Rescues and shelters are already drowning. Please don't add another dog to that statistic because the research came after the adoption instead of before it.

And as always, adopt don’t shop ❤️🐾

🚨 SCAMMER ALERT 🚨

Apparently scammers have decided that an animal rescue page is a great place to try to make a buck. 🙄

If you see comments on our posts advertising T-shirts, sweatshirts, merchandise, or anything else with links to purchase, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK OR BUY FROM THEM.

We are not selling merchandise through random people in our comments. If we ever have official merchandise for sale, it will be posted directly by this page with information from us. It takes a special kind of person to try to scam people who are here because they care about rescued animals, but here we are. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Please report any of these comments if you see them. We'll delete and block them as quickly as we can!

Remembering all that served this Memorial Day ❤️ All gave some. Some gave all.

Excuses I have heard this week: 😢😠

“We are downsizing and wish we could keep her.”

“We want to travel and it’s becoming too expensive, so we want to rehome.”

“My boyfriend is allergic.” (This is about a horse that lives in a barn on a separate property)

This is real life. I cannot make this stuff up. There are valid reasons (very few) for someone to have to rehome an animal. Not one of these excuses is valid. Please think long and hard before you acquire a pet of any kind. Shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries are full, and most nonprofits are struggling to remain operational in this economy. Do your research. Adopt, don’t shop. Donate when you can, even a dollar makes a difference. And please prioritize your pets; they probably love you more than most humans ever will. ❤️‍🩹
