Tri-State Animal Rescue

🐾 🚐 It’s OFFICIAL …. Tri-State is back!! It’s going to look a little different b/c Chris Haverly is no longer with us but his memory remains & our mantra is the same, NO ANIMAL LEFT BEHIND!

We’ve been waiting anxiously to say it out-loud & now we can! Help us say it louder by sharing, commenting, following along, and/or donating. We can’t do it without YOU!! PayPal will be back up & running soon so all of you that are asking can start donating (again). In the meantime, you can mail your donations to PO Box 1311, Wytheville VA, 24382. We appreciate your continued support more than you know & need it now more than ever.

Special shout out to Chris’s son, Dalton Tackett & daughter-in-law, Cheyenne Tackett for trusting us to continue his legacy just like he wanted. We are honored! This has not been an easy transition. Our hearts are still broken but he will be watching over us on every transport. He worked too hard at making Tri-State what it is & letting it die w/ him was NEVER an option. We just needed time to grieve & work out all the details. We will keep the wheels rolling for him. We will NOT let him down. ❤️

Stay tuned …. more exciting things are in the works. 🐾 🚐

Time for the GREAT ESCAPE, made famous by our own Chris Haverly! He always done one & we will honor him each week by doing the same in his memory. Sonja & her 46 passengers are Staunton bound. I bet her passengers are cuter than yours. Our sponsor this week wanted to remain anonymous but a BIG THANK YOU goes out to him! If you would like to sponsor next week’s GREAT ESCAPE, let us know. We can’t do these w/o YOU!

We’re running in the original Tri-State van for the last time. She has over 360k miles on her. It’s time for her to enjoy retirement. She served us well. Next week we’ll be back in the new van (thanks to our “van lady”). Our decals are being made now so stay tuned …. Roll On, TS!! 🚐🐾❤️ Sonja Mabe Rescue & RemEMBER
