Some of you maybe remember when my family and I took care of Gemma for the family whose son was injured. Gemma has grown up and doing great and Lucas is ready to keep up his adventures so his family is having a fundraiser to buy him a new type of wheelchair that will allow him to enjoy nature. If you would like to support the family they would appreciate it.

Look how pretty she got! ❤️❤️❤️

On January 9, 2024, Lucas was out snowboarding when a flip attempt changed everything. He sustained a C5 incomplete spinal cord injury, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.

🛑 Red Is STILL Waiting 🛑

Have we forgotten about Red?

Absolutely not.

But here’s the hard part: our rescue still has to keep moving. We are contacted daily, multiple times, saying yes a handful of times while saying NO more than we ever want to. There are dogs being dumped, injured, abandoned, and sitting in shelters who need us. We can’t put everything on hold while we wait for the perfect home for Red.

Right now, Red cannot live with other animals, which makes finding her forever home or a foster home even harder. But she also cannot live at the boarding facility forever.

Sooner or later, something has to give. This isn’t fair to her!!

So we’re asking you—not just to share this post, but to help us find a solution for Red.

Could you be her person?
Know someone who could be?
Have a legitimate lead, foster option, or idea we haven’t thought of?

Tell us. Comment. Share. Tag someone. Start the conversation.

Because while we continue saving the next dog, Red is still waiting for someone to really save her. 🥺

We haven’t forgotten you, Red. Not for a second.
