Happy New Year!

Make a toast, friends! What a year it’s been! These are just a few of the moments that made 2015 such a great one. Thank you to all of the volunteers, fosters, adopted parents, and sponsors who make this rescue a reality everyday!

Year in Review: December

Thank you all for another wonderful year; another year we’ve managed to keep the doors open to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home so many beautiful dogs and to provide a sanctuary for seniors and special-needs. It may be a cliche’, but we honestly could not do this without you.

Flood Week

Year in Review: November

Challenges are a part of rescue and, like they say — “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” November proved that we’re pretty strong. 😉

Year in Review: October

Awe, October. Pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere! And, of course, a little dress-up fun with the dogs … not to mention self-shaming on Mama Donna’s part …

Year in Review: September

As summer started to turn to fall, we experienced a little bit of it all: Love, loss and the need to keep the flame lit.

Year in Review 2015: July

July was another wonderful adoption month with three of our “special” dogs finding amazing homes. We also said goodbye to a sweet sanctuary dog and … splish, splash, some dogs were takin’ a bath.

Year in Review 2015: June

June is all about our big annual Jack/Chow fundraiser … and some fun-raising. (Yeah, we said it.)

JRT Fun Day

Year in Review 2015: May

We had joy, we had fun, we had a wonderful month under the sun. There were fun days and miracle adoption days. What more could we ask for?

Year in Review 2015: April

April was another relatively-calm month. (We were storing up for a big summer.) One of our favorite little guys was adopted after years of waiting and our cornhole champs continued their winning streak for the dogs.

Year in Review 2015: March

Spring always arrives with great anticipation at the ranch. The days get longer and warmer, and the dogs absolutely love the weather. We typically have a Spring Vol Day to remove the plastic from the kennels, but this year, we had an extra-special “fun day.”

Smooch a Pooch 2015

Year in Review 2015: February

February was relatively quiet across the board … which is always good during the cold. It’s challenging enough to take the dogs in and out of the kennels everyday to enjoy the sunshine and to stay warm at night.

Year in Review 2015: January

It’s that time again: To look back on the year and highlight the events that impacted the rescue–and the dogs–as a whole. We said it in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and we’ll say it again in 2015 … This year, we helped rescue and re-home more dogs than we have since the days Jimmy was with us and it was more of a full-time gig than us “duct taping” things together. Woo-hoo!
