https://linktr.ee/Pawsandapurpose Meet Krystal: Animal Rescuer, Foster Mom & Animal Hero
On 15 rolling acres in Amity, Oregon, Krystal runs a small but mighty dog foster home that’s rescued over 350 animals — from starving pups and shy seniors to bottle baby kittens and even a day-old sheep. With 3 dogs, 4 cats, 4 goats, 2 horses, and 20+ chickens as her permanent crew, it’s never boring.

She specializes in giving love and safety to the vulnerable — especially pregnant moms and forgotten souls — and shares every chaotic, joyful moment on her new social media sites. Her new social media pages share the real stories: the mess, the magic, and the miracles

All volunteer. All heart. All in.
🐾 Follow for tail wags, tiny mews, and second chances. If you need a smile (or a furry face to cheer you up), you’ll find it here.

🚨FOSTERS NEEDED🚨

We are looking for 2 foster homes for Chulo and Rhonnie so we can make room to save 2 dogs from a California shelter who are struggling and desperately need out. Both are currently with me and listed for adoption. We would need to move them by next week.

Rhonnie: 2-year-old Chi mix, spayed, UTD on shots, good with kids, dogs and cats. She’s a shy girl.

Chulo: 5-year-old Chi mix, UTD on shots, scheduled to be neutered this month, good with kids, dogs and cats.

Here is their adoption link so you can check out some photos of them. Please let me know if you can help!

Step inside our kennel space - where every dog is given the time, structure, and love they need while waiting for their forever home. Every kennel has a story, and every dog deserves a chance.

💙Meet some of our adorable fosters:
🐾Bambi and her puppies (avalible to adopt mid September)
🐾Rhonnie (available to adopt)
🐾Faith (not available to adopt)
🐾Chulo (available to adopt)

My pack:
Remi, Rags, Lilo

Every one of these dogs is on a journey - decompressing, learning routines, building trust, and preparing for the next chapter of their lives.
If one of these faces speaks to you, don’t hesitate to reach out. Their forever home could be yours.
