It’s $5 Friday!
This week we have two saved puppies.
One dumped with parvo.
One with a head wound needing care.
Two little girls who deserve better,
They matter.
If you’d like to help, even a little, we truly appreciate it. 🩷

When surveyed, a full 100% of #beagle caregivers had a camera roll full of closeups of various adorable #beagle parts. #beaglefacts
We invite you to share the weird and wonderful photos you have of your hound!

We debated posting this.
Mom’s angry, disgusted, & 💔.
This beautiful boy was adopted out in late 2022.
Updates were wonderful for over a year.
Friday we get a call that Butters was picked up stray by Animal Control.
Repeated attempts to contact adopters by phone number (verified as still accurate by their vet), emails, texts went unanswered.
Apparently they “rehomed him” last year (per their vet).
Our contract requires dogs come back to rescue unless we vet and approve a rehoming.
We invest our time, funds, energy & heart into every dog we rescue.
We commit to them.
We expect adopters to commit to them.
Or if they can’t, we will get them.
We understand life happens.
There are valid reasons to return a pup.
It’s not about that.
But treat them like they matter!
A simple email to us and we’d arrange to get him.
We drove 7 hours to pick up Butters.
We cannot fathom how anyone can do this to a dog they’ve had a couple years, particularly ignore the calls about him being found stray.
Have you no conscience?
We feel we somehow failed him.
We are sorry Butters. 🥹
You do matter.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
Calling all Indiana peeps. This boy is about to be sent back to the shelter, because his owner doesn't have space for him after being in the home for a yr! He's loving, gentle and needs a large fenced yard or farm. Please dm me if interested and share him pls.
Four years ago, life was quiet.
Our house was new and clean.
Mom’s health was better, stress was lower.
Heart more empty.
662 lives saved later…..
We reflect.
662 pups given hope, care and love.
Families created.
We don’t just save the easily adoptable pups.
We save seniors, medical needs, all breeds, kill shelter euth listed, community strays, the unwanted.
Money donated goes fully to saving pups (mom works full time).
This past year alone we saved 210 dogs.
That’s an average of 4 dogs every single week.
Because of you.
Thank you for supporting our rescue.
We love you. ♥️
