Hi, friends! This is from me in honor of my friends. Please read & share so I can have even more human friends support me in my journey. I love you all very much.

My Friends:

As I lay here safe with my mom I think about the past.
I had no hope of survival; I never knew if that night would be my last.
No one cared about me or the 58 others.
All of us were at the mercy of the Jones Brothers.
They ran a dog fighting ring and made lots of cash.
We were lucky if we ended the night with nothing worse than a big gash.
The truth is, we always felt lucky to still be able to breathe.
And never even thought about a better life because we knew we could never leave.
Then one September day, people in uniforms came.
And since then, nothing has ever been the same.
A sweet man and beautiful lady said I was going with them because I was in bad shape.
They were Dr. Spence and Cindy Nash, and they both wore an invisible cape.
I watched all of my friends as we drove away.
I never saw them again after that day.
I heard they got euthanized and are in heaven now.
I wish I could've saved them too somehow.
My new life is amazing and so full of love.
And I know my friends are now angels protecting me from above.

❤️, Marcus

🚨 UPDATE #1 at 12:34 am -
They believe that Marcellus has some sort of mass. He will not know what it is until they get the x-rays back. The initial estimate for x-rays and miscellaneous meds, etc. is right around $1000-$1200. We have raised about half of that so far we cannot approve an estimate for more than that if he needs surgery at this time, we will have to decline as we just don’t have it.

We will keep everybody updated and do our best to help his family. Get him on the road to feeling better if that’s possible please say a prayer that this is not a splenic mass or something of that nature.

🆘URGENT — MARCELLUS NEEDS US TONIGHT 🚨

Sometimes rescue doesn’t end when the adoption papers are signed.

About two years ago, Lucci’s House pulled Marcellus from IACS on his LAST DAY. He almost didn’t make it out. Since then, he has been the absolute best boy and is deeply loved by his amazing family. ❤️

Tonight, his family contacted us because Marcellus was severely constipated, having accidents with runny stool, drooling, acting lethargic, refusing food, feeling warm, and unable to sit because of apparent pain.

Marcellus is now at VSEC South on Stop 11 being evaluated. 🏥🐾

Our veterinary bills are already extremely high, and we recently helped two other previously adopted LHBR dogs through emergencies. But when Marcellus’s family called, we couldn’t turn our backs. He was ours when we pulled him from IACS, and he is still ours when he needs help.

🙏 PLEASE HELP US HELP MARCELLUS.

Even $5 helps. If you can’t donate, please share, comment, and react so we can reach more people.

Polly is a beautiful blue girl with a gentle heart and a wonderfully affectionate personality. She came to us from another foster home and was initially very fearful of new people—especially men and anyone wearing a hat. Despite her uncertainty, Polly has shown incredible resilience and a strong desire to trust.

Polly is extremely affectionate once she feels safe. Every morning, she greets her foster with hugs and kisses before heading outside, and she insists on another round of affection before her door can be closed at bedtime. She truly thrives on love and connection with her people.

Since being in foster care, Polly has made great progress. She has opened up significantly and is learning to feel more comfortable around men. While she can still be shy with new people, slow and calm introductions help her warm up quickly and show her sweet, loving nature.

When Polly gets the zoomies, she turns into a little bumper car—spinning in circles, zooming off, stopping, spinning again, and repeating the whole routine. It’s impossible not to laugh.

Shiro is also currently looking for a foster - read more about him below!

This handsome boy has a big personality and isn't afraid to share his opinions—he's quite vocal when he wants something and loves to "argue" with his people!

Shiro is incredibly affectionate and adores being around hoomans. One of his favorite things is snuggling up close, pushing his head into your chest, and flopping right into your lap for cuddles. He greets everyone with the biggest smile, making it impossible not to fall in love with him.

He is dog-selective but does well with cats and is great with children of all ages. Like many larger dogs, he can be a little clumsy at times, but his sweet and loving nature more than makes up for it.

Shiro is an amazing dog with so much love to give, and he's ready to find the perfect family to call his own.

KOBUK IS IN NEED OF A FOSTER HOME

f you’ve been following his journey, you know he’s been working incredibly hard in training—and we couldn’t be more proud of the progress he’s made.
Now it’s time for the next step.

Kobuk needs a committed foster who is willing to continue working alongside his trainer as he transitions into a home environment. His trainer will help guide you, so you won’t be doing this alone.

Here’s what we know about this handsome guy:
He’s done amazing in training.
He responds exceptionally well to corrections.
He is eager to learn and wants to please.
He does best with dogs that are a little older than him rather than dogs his own age.

📋 Apply to foster here:

📩 Have questions? Send us a message. We’d love to talk with you about whether Kobuk might be the right fit for your home.

Ladie is a parvo survivor with the sweetest heart. She came to rescue after struggling in the shelter, and with patience and love, she has grown into a gentle, loyal companion.

She can be shy when meeting new people, but once she trusts you, she's happiest relaxing on the couch, soaking up the sunshine, or snuggling in bed. She's well-behaved, does great left out of a crate, isn't destructive, and loves treats, toys, and her nightly peanut butter lick mat.

Ladie is looking for a calm, patient home where she can be your one and only pet. She must be the only dog and will thrive in a quiet home that lets her settle in at her own pace.

If you're looking for a sweet, low-key best friend who will reward your patience with endless love, Ladie is waiting to meet you!

🚨🐾 $5 FRIDAY — THIS IS WHAT SAYING YES LOOKS LIKE. 🐾🚨

$39,000.

That is approximately what Lucci’s House Bully Rescue currently has in veterinary bills.

And I need people to understand something:

You don’t accumulate $39,000 in vet bills because you ignored the dogs who needed you.

You get there because you said YES.

Today, we get to say YES again. ❤️

🐾 PRADA IS LEAVING GREENFIELD ANIMAL SHELTER AND BECOMING A LUCCI’S HOUSE DOG!

And there is another dog named Fiona at Johnson County that we desperately want to help.

But every YES has a cost.

We said YES to the dogs who needed surgery.

YES to the medical emergencies.

YES to puppies who needed vaccines, spays and neuters.

YES to dogs who unexpectedly came back into our care.

YES to dogs who needed training, enrichment and medical treatment.

YES to dogs sitting in shelters who needed somebody — ANYBODY — to give them a chance.

And the heartbreaking reality?

For every dog we have been able to say YES to, we have probably had to say NO to twice as many.

💔 RIGHT NOW, THE MEDICAL NEEDS ARE HUGE.

We have already had TWO dogs undergo major surgeries, and we have THREE MORE major surgeries coming up.

These aren’t optional procedures.

They aren’t things we can put off until we have a successful fundraiser.

They are medically necessary.

And then there’s Sadie. 💜

A few weeks ago, one of our director’s former coworkers reached out asking if we could help her.

If you saw the pictures of Sadie when we were first asked to help, you know how rough of shape this girl was in.

Her skin was horrible. Her body had been through so much.

And now we have another concern.

Sadie has a heart murmur that has been graded between a 2 and 4, and she needs an echocardiogram at Franklin Animal Clinic.

But take one look at her now.

In true pit bull form, this girl is showing us exactly what resilience looks like.

She is healing.

She is getting stronger.

She is feeling better.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. ❤️

THAT is why we say yes.

THAT is what your donations accomplish.

And THAT is why we keep going even when the bills are terrifying.

But rescue expenses aren’t just the major emergencies you see us post.

Every single week, the regular bills keep coming.

🐾 Approximately $330 EVERY WEEK for Zoomie Squad so foster dogs who need additional physical and mental enrichment have that outlet.

🐾 Approximately $3,000 EVERY MONTH for enrichment and supplies.

🐾 Approximately $4,000 EVERY MONTH for routine veterinary care and regular visits.

Then add:

🐾 Spays and neuters
🐾 Puppy vaccinations
🐾 Preventatives
🐾 Medications
🐾 Food
🐾 Training
🐾 Emergency veterinary care
🐾 Major surgeries
🐾 Diagnostics
🐾 And everything else these dogs need.

It adds up FAST.

So today, for $5 FRIDAY, I’m not asking one person to write us a check for $39,000.

I’m asking our village to help us attack this $39,000 problem FIVE DOLLARS AT A TIME.

Think about this:

100 people × $5 = $500

500 people × $5 = $2,500

1,000 people × $5 = $5,000

5,000 people × $5 = $25,000

That is the power of a village.

Your $5 matters.

❤️ $5 TO US.

❤️ $5 TOWARD A VET BILL.

❤️ $5 TOWARD ENRICHMENT.

We don’t care which way you choose.

It ALL helps these dogs.

Today, Prada gets her YES. 🥹❤️

Now we need your help so we can look at Fiona and say:

YES. We can help you, too.

And then the next dog.

And the next one.

Because somewhere right now there is another dog who has absolutely no idea that tomorrow, next week or next month, they are going to desperately need someone to fight for them.

We want to still be able to say YES when that call comes.

What we need right now is our village.

Let’s see what we can do $5 at a time. ❤️🐾
