It’s our 5-year anniversary!   It’s our 5-year anniversary….. I’m sorry what?! In these past 5 years, we have had the amazing honor of saving thousands from euthanasia. And with it, grow a community of over 40,000 dog and animal lovers who have supported us endlessly throughout the years.

It’s hard, it involves long hours, countless restless nights, and days full of panic and fear when we cannot ..read more

Javelin, one of our adoptable dogs.   So you’re thinking it might be a good time for you to adopt a dog. You love going for walks, and the idea of having a best friend to take around with you sounds amazing. And it is. When you add a dog (or dogs) to your life, you truly get a best friend.

However, I think it’s easy to forget that a dog is a living breathing animal (like us) who feels emotions, has a personality and has opinions on things occurring in its life. When you decide to we ..read more

Monroe’s story   My dearest Miss Monro(e) (Aka MoMo), I saw your picture on RP’s post about a large intake and a need for fosters. I knew we should be together. You were mine, and most importantly, I would be yours.

Adopt if you choose me. If Pearl the pug and I were best for you. They picked me! I waited behind a shoppers drug mart for my name to be called to meet you with other ama ..read more

One day while out and about, a group of individuals came across the siblings and started trying to earn their trust in hopes of getting them off the streets, fed, and looked at by a vet. While attempting to do so they made the horrifying discovery that they were not alone in ..read more
