Our intake team was approached by a rural animal shelter to rescue three puppies that had been dumped. The two girls and boy (retriever mixes) had terrible- YET recoverable mange. The shelter employee commented that this threesome were either leaving the shelter that day with a rescuing group or in “bag”. Take Me Home Pet Rescue, without hesitation, took these pups into our program. Initially, all three settled into one foster home. They visited our vet to address their mange issue and a cough that each had developed. Wynken and Nod progressed nicely. Poor little Blynken (the smallest of the t ..read more

Victoria was found at a construction site severely injured. The tiny kitten was picked up in a box; she was shaking from fright, had a bloody nose, scrapes above her eye and an injury to her tail.  She was dehydrated and very hungry. She went to a loving TMHPR foster home where her wounds were cleaned and she was given food and water with Pedialyte. With lots of love, soothing words, and tender touches she finally had a restful sleep (probably her first that was stress free). Her injuries are still healing, but she is very chatty, and loves being held. Her life has changed because o ..read more

If you ask any person in rescue, fostering is truly one of the most, if not THE most important task you can do for rescue. You get to see the animal’s true personalities living in a loving home. Some of these dogs have known only miss treatment, neglect, starvation and abuse.  I’ve lo ..read more
