💛 Rescue Appreciation Post! 💛

First and foremost, we want to give a BIG thank you to Gracie Acres for pulling 3 URGENT dogs! Tiffany, our little mean girl Chi, Nutmeg, our wounded sweet shepherd boy, and Healer, who had nipped at someone and needed a soft place to land! We can't thank you enough for stepping up for these three! ❤️

Then, we have our great friends at The Barker Rescue Project, who pulled our unpredictable queen, Felicia! Thank you for giving this girl a chance!

Day Before the Rainbow stepped up for Tiara, boarded her while she was sick, and found her a home! Talk about going the extra mile! Thank you for being there for her!

Mummy, our sweet little blind and deaf puppy, was graciously pulled by Rescue Dogs Rock! We are so happy this little one has a chance at a bright future!

Last but not least, Angels Among Us pulled a sweet senior medical boy named Abbott. Thank you for giving this sweet senior a second chance! ❤️

We could not do this without you guys! 💛

This week, we have some amazing rescue partners to thank!

First up, CLiF's No-Kill Shelter and Rescue stepped up for Audrey and her kittens, who all had ringworm, AND four puppies — Joshy, Mason, Stacey, and Chucky — who also had ringworm! That's a whole lot of ringworm, and we're so grateful you gave all these babies a second chance! ❤️

Gracie Acres Dog Rescue and Farm pulled Blossom, Kenny, Tucker, and Vixen, all with their own little issues haha! Thank you for seeing past their quirks and giving them a chance at a new beginning!

Langley had a recent tail amputation and unfortunately came down with ringworm, but South Carolina Community Cat Project stepped up to give him a second chance! We are so happy he has a chance to heal and move forward.

Last but certainly not least, The Barker Rescue Project stepped up for our misunderstood cat friend, Maggie! Thank you for giving her a chance to be understood and loved.

Thank you to all our amazing rescue partners for giving these sweet guys a second chance! We couldn't do this without you! 💛

A huge thank you to our incredible rescue partners who stepped up in a major way this week! Rescuing shelter animals takes a village, and we could not do this lifesaving work without organizations like these opening their hearts and doors.

Gracie Acres pulled Champ, a sweet little pup recovering from a wound who desperately needed a soft, safe place to land and heal.

Bark Inc. stepped up for Hannah, a gentle girl who needed an urgent exit from the shelter following a ringworm diagnosis.

Another incredible partner jumped into action for Salem, a tiny puppy who needed immediate emergency surgery to remove a foreign body.

Because of these amazing groups, Champ is resting comfortably, Hannah is getting the specialized care she needs, and Salem got a second chance at life. We are endlessly grateful for your dedication, quick action, and partnership!

First, Delgado was an extremely urgent shepherd boy, and Lovable Mutts stepped up to give him the second chance he deserved!

Annie and her 7 puppies were having a hard time finding a place out of the shelter, but Gracie Acres came to the rescue, of course! Thank you for giving this family their chance!

Chappie and Hazelnut, our little behavior rascals, urgently needed out of the shelter, and Barker Rescue Project made sure they are now in good hands.

Grandma Biscuit had an unfortunate diagnosis, and when we asked Dede's Angels if they would give this sweet old lady a second chance, they said YES! Thank you for giving her the soft place to land she deserves.

Lucy needed out of her foster home urgently, and Journey Home Rescue Alliance stepped up to help her. Thank you!

Passion 4 Paws graciously took 2 large dogs, Nutella and Lyrical, who had both been experiencing long stays with us. We are so happy to see them get their chance!

Lemon... oh, Lemon. The smallest dog with the BIGGEST attitude! The lucky ones to take this sweet, sweet creature was Day Before the Rainbow!😂

And our week ended with an amazing visit from Jasper's Legacy! They came by to look at all our dogs and ended up taking 3 large dogs — Aries, Forrest, and Buzz — along with 2 puppies, Meadow and Rayne! Talk about ending the week on a high note!

We truly cannot thank all of our incredible rescue partners enough. Every "yes" means another animal gets a second chance, and we are so grateful to have you all standing beside us! 💛
