🐾Look at this cutie 🐾

Meet Chase, a 9 month old pit mix who may need a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does, his sweet and goofy personality shines through. Around other dogs, Chase comes alive as a wiggly, playful social butterfly who absolutely loves having another dog to romp around with. He’s looking for a patient family to help him build confidence through his teenage years, and in return, he’ll give you a loyal best friend for life. 💙

Heartbreaking 💔

661 collars.

They found 661 collars, many of them with tags still attached, in a pile in his barn. There was blood and 22 shell casings all over the place.

As horrible as it is to picture what was done to these dogs, people have to understand that each one of them needs to be accounted for. He needs to be held responsible for what he has done.

Most shelter dogs do not come wearing collars and tags. Most of the dogs that were wearing tags were likely owner surrenders. If you surrendered your dog to Miranda’s “Rescue”(especially within the last year), please call the authorities and make a report as soon as possible.

If you paid a hefty fee and were promised that your dog would be adopted out or would live the rest of their life at this “sanctuary”, he sold you a promise that didn’t happen and that can be considered fraud.

Without these single individual owner surrenders coming forward, they have no idea of the magnitude of the dogs he killed and the money that changed hands that may be unaccounted for (and most likely is).

117 (plus the original 8 deceased dogs were found in various graves in just one section of the property. These dogs were killed recently.… all of them are assumed to have been buried between January 2026 and April 2026. (According to the Humboldt County Sheriff during today’s press conference).

We need to keep posting and sharing this information. These dogs deserve justice for what was done to them. 💔

If you surrendered a dog to Miranda’s Rescue, please reach out to the authorities listed here:

Good to know

🌙 LIGHTS OUT CHICAGO 🌙

Migration Alert – April 23, 2026 🚨

This is part of spring migration, as birds return north from their winter homes to begin nesting and raising their young. 🌸

The BirdCast model predicts high-intensity bird migration over our region tonight, with millions of birds flying overhead as they return north for the spring. 🐦✨

Please help protect these migrating birds by turning off all non-essential lights between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Bright lights can disorient birds traveling at night, leading to dangerous and often fatal collisions.

🔌 How you can help:
• Turn off or dim exterior lighting
• Close curtains or blinds
• Avoid lighting areas that may attract birds
