"What is one word for single, unconditional love?" "DOG"
Another day, another empty promise.
The owner of these NINE dogs is in the hospital and will not be returning home. When the owner's brother promised to care for the dogs, instead of doing that, he opened the door and let them all outside to fend for themselves. Waiting for their Dad to come back, they took shelter under the porch. The owner's nurse reached out to the shelter for help in getting them to safety. Their stray hold is up and these 9 little souls, all different ages but all sweet and wondering where their Dad is need to leave the shelter TODAY. They need us and in order to help them we are reaching out to our community for help. Their time is up, they are on the kill list and only have us to save them.𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄'𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐋.

WE HAVE A HUGE MISSION AHEAD OF US TODAY, WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE. ALL OF THESE DOGS ARE TIMESTAMPED TO DIE. WE ARE THEIR ONLY CHANCE AT SURVIVAL. We were contacted by a shelter to ask if we would be able to save a few dogs off of the euthanasia list. When we visited the shelter and saw the anguish and desperation, we could not walk away. When we have SIXTEEN pairs of eyes begging, pawing at you from behind the bars, WE CANNOT JUST CHOOSE A FEW. ALL OF THESE DOGS ARE ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST due to a full shelter. We aren't about to sit back and watch them kill these dogs. These dogs need our help, until they are brought to a good vet, we will not know their medical statuses. This is a RURAL UNDERFUNDED SHELTER. Please stick to the goal of this post which is to help save these dogs, not bash an underfunded facility who shelters these dogs that have been discarded, abandoned on the side of the road, dumped, and found outside in cages with other dogs, Every SINGLE ONE of these dogs used to be someone's dog, now they are sitting in a cage unseen, waiting until their final hour. Some of the dogs have skin issues, some of them are heart-worm positive, some are just babies, some of them have injuries that need urgent intervention and surgery. ALL of them deserve to walk out of that shelter into a new life- not left unsaved, unseen, forgotten and taken out the back door in a black garbage bag.
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US SAY YES TO ALL OF THESE DESERVING LIVES?

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."
His story is heartbreaking and sadly not unfamiliar to us. Paris was brought to the shelter, after running his chip, they contacted the breeder who was linked After explaining that he has been at the shelter for 2 weeks and will be euthanized the ONLY thing the breeder asked-"is he neutered or can he be used as a stud?" And that basically sums up his sad and lonely life. And now, he's going to die with a broken heart and spirit. He's depressed, confused and needs immediate vet care for the raging infection filled with maggots that has been brewing under his skin for a very long time. His time is up, he is on the kill list and only has us to save him.

Otter was forcefully removed after months of citations issued to his owners and no improvement. He is a plain and skinny brown dog who has been passed by week after week. Otter clings to our volunteer's leg as he faces his destiny, euthanasia. He has been sitting at the shelter for over a week with the "plain dog curse." He's not a doodle, he's not hypoallergenic, he's just a plain old dog with a huge heart. He's been neglected for years and now he's going to die alone. His time is up, he is on the kill list and only has us to save him.𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝟑 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟔 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄'𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐋. 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐃.WE HAVE A HUGE MISSION AHEAD OF US TODAY, WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE.

We have a critical update on Sugar Buns. Please click here for a video of this sweet angel.Sugar Buns is safe with our foster. Sadly, his injuries are worse than we originally thought. His jaw is broken and will require surgery to have a wire installed. The wire will remain in place for 4 weeks to allow his jaw to heal. His leg is broken at the elbow and will need to be amputated. This baby boy has been through so much in a short amount of time, the vet believes he was hit by a car and then disposed of behind the dumpster where he was picked up and dumped at the shelter to DIE.Wiring his jaw is critical for repair, he is heading into emergency surgery for both jaw repair and amputation. Sugar Buns needs all the love and support he can get. Prayers UP!We have TWELVE dogs to go and will be sharing their stories today. #neversaynever -
