In rescue, we see the consequences of the mass marketing of the pet industry constantly.

Dogs are surrendered with hundreds of dollars worth of belongings: beds, blankets, toys, treats, supplements, enrichment products, expensive collars, harnesses, clothes, grooming supplies, subscription boxes, you name it.

Sometimes they arrive with more stuff than we can store, but aren't spayed/neutered, vaccinated or microchipped, haven't received consistent preventative care, and have behavioral concerns that were never addressed with a qualified trainer.

Rescue becomes responsible for providing the necessities that should have come before the stuff.

The pet industry is really good at selling us things because things are easy to sell. Responsible dog ownership isn't. You can't put good health in a shopping cart. You can't buy a well-trained dog or subscribe to a solid relationship with one. Purchasing for your dog and providing for your dog are not the same thing.

Grooming is necessary. Training is a base need. Veterinary care is critical. Nutrition, exercise, socialization and communication matter.
Establish veterinary care. Vaccinate appropriately. Provide preventative care. Microchip them and keep it current. Make a responsible spay/neuter plan with your veterinarian, and invest your time, not only your money.

Walk them. Train them. Groom them. Teach them. Keep them fit. Learn what their behavior is communicating. Get professional help when you need it.

Those things aren't as marketable, but they're what help keep dogs healthy, safe and in their homes.

We appreciate owners who send belongings when they surrender. Familiar items provide comfort, but we'd rather receive an altered, vaccinated, microchipped dog with a solid foundation and one old leash than a dog whose basic needs were postponed alongside hundreds of dollars of supplies.

Buy the cute collar. Get the enrichment toy. Spoil your dog. We love that stuff too, but take care of the dog before you accessorize them.

Get the foundation right. Then have fun with the extras.

Wow.

That’s all we have to say ❤️

There is so much positivity and beauty in this world and in the people surrounding us, and in times of need, we are once again in absolute shock at how this community has shown up for our dogs.

We have EXCEEDED our goal for Miss Blair 🥹

You all have made it possible for us to pay for her veterinary care, purchase her specialty food, AND get her a heavy duty ramp so she can safely get in and out of the car.

Seriously. You did that for her.

Blair will be heading to the vet next week for her initial exam so they can determine the safest game plan and WHEN they feel comfortable scheduling her procedures. At 143 pounds, Blair needs to lose more than 60 pounds, and surgery and anesthesia can carry additional risks for an obese dog.

We aren't in a rush. Our priority is getting Blair through this safely.

Because we know so many of you have already fallen in love with her: Blair will NOT be available for adoption for at least a few months. She needs to lose a fair amount of weight, undergo and recover from her procedures, settle into foster care, and give us time to get to know the dog underneath all of these medical needs.

We are not currently accepting applications for Blair. We promise everyone will know when this honeybunch is ready. ❤️

For those asking how else they can help, we've put together an Amazon Wishlist specifically for Blair.

One of our biggest wishes is a high-quality XXL orthopedic bed. Her joints are carrying an enormous amount of extra weight, and she deserves a truly supportive place to rest while those pounds come off.

We've also added a scale for weekly weigh-ins at home, an elevated food/water setup because bending to the floor is difficult for her, lean treats, and other comfort and recovery items.

Above everything else, THANK YOU.

Thank you for donating, sharing, and for looking at a 143-pound girl who needed an enormous amount of help and simply saying:
"Let's get her there"

We also wanted to extend an enormous Thank You to Robert Harlow who spends an enormous amount of his time, and skills to help these dogs. Thank you!!!

“When you love someone, but it goes to waste… Could it be worse?”

We can’t change Blair’s past, or give her back the years when her body should have been cared for. We can’t undo the condition she arrived in. And we can’t change the circumstances that ultimately brought her to West Valley City Animal Services after her owner was arrested, but we can change what happens next.

Blair is only estimated to be 4–6 years old, but at a staggering 143 pounds, she needs to lose more than half of her current body weight. She needs entropion surgery to relieve a painful condition affecting her eyes. She needs to be spayed. She has a mass on her side that needs to be biopsied and removed. And beyond the procedures, she needs good food, comfort, patience, and time to heal. We know it’s a lot, but Blair is worth it, and the power this community has to come together to help out these animals is something we know can be done, and we’re always speechless when it does.

Despite everything, this girl is an absolute angel. She’s sweet. She’s done well around other dogs. She trusts us. She loves, and now it’s our turn to love her back.

Our low cost veterinary clinic has quoted us approximately $1,200 TOTAL for Blair’s procedures, and we’ve set her overall fundraising goal at $1,500 to help provide the food, supplies, and comfort items she’ll need throughout her recovery and weight-loss journey. We can only imagine how this total would be tripled at most veterinarian’s offices, and we’re so so grateful to have Gunnison Valley Animal Clinic.

We have the opportunity to give Blair something she may never have had before: the chance to feel healthy, comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.

“Lights will guide you home, And ignite your bones, And I will try to fix you ”


Every $5. Every $10. Every $20. Every share. It all gets her closer.

🐾 August 2026 Rescue Report

August was a huge month for our little rescue, and behind every mile driven, vet visit, adoption, foster home, and second chance was a person who chose to help.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness surrounding these dogs. You donated. You fostered. You adopted. You transported. You brought supplies, shared our posts, sent encouragement, and told other people about what we’re building.

Four new foster families joined us this month, and that alone means more dogs will have a safe place to land. 💗

But we still have dogs who need us, and some very real, very urgent expenses ahead.

We set a $5,000 fundraising goal and raised $1,045. We are incredibly grateful for every single dollar, but we still have a significant gap to close while veterinary bills, boarding, food, transportation, and everyday care continue.

The numbers in this month’s report tell part of the story. The dogs tell the rest.

Every expense represents a dog who was picked up, fed, transported, treated, given a safe place to sleep, or helped one step closer to home.

And every person who helped made that possible.

Thank you for believing in these dogs, believing in us, and helping us keep saying “yes” when the next dog needs a second chance. 💗🐾

FOSTER SECURED!!! We will likely need help with her medical care, and a specialty diet for her, but we'll post more once she's gotten on transport!! Thank you all for your shares!!!!

We were contacted about a roughly 6-year-old female Rottweiler who is reportedly spayed and AKC registered. She has significant ear issues that reportedly need veterinary care.

We have been told that if someone does not take her, a family member is threatening to “take her out to the desert.”
So let’s be blunt:

WE CANNOT TAKE THIS DOG WITHOUT A COMMITTED FOSTER HOME.

Our rescue is completely full. Our homes are full. Our resources are stretched. We desperately need fosters for the dogs already in our care.

We cannot bring another dog into the rescue simply because her situation is urgent. Urgency does not create an available foster home.

If you are willing to foster her, we will support you. We will help with the transition, veterinary care, management, and resources we reasonably can.

But you need to understand what you may be signing up for.

Until proven otherwise:
• Assume she has had little to no training.
• Assume she is not safe with other animals.
• Assume she will need significant management around children.
• Assume she will need veterinary care for her ears.
• Assume we know very little about her history or temperament.
That does not mean she is a bad dog.

It means we are not going to gamble with her safety, anyone else's
by pretending we know more than we do.

She reportedly has a timeline.

If you genuinely have the ability to foster her safely, please SEND US A PM.

Our foster application is also available through the link in our bio.

And please understand: sharing this post is helpful, but it does not give this dog a foster home.

We don't need 100 people to tell us they wish they could help.

We need ONE committed person or family who actually can.

If that's you, PM us. Fill out the foster application. Let's get to work.

OR if you can foster/adopt one of our current long term residents, that opens up space for US to help this girl out..

Kela is coming back to rescue after a successful week of living with her foster family.

Sometimes a foster home teaches us just as much about what a dog needs as it does about who they are, and Kela’s stay has given us some really valuable information about this sweet girl.

Her foster family has been wonderful with her and has given her every opportunity to settle in. Kela has been incredibly sweet with their children, loves being close to her people, and has shown just how affectionate and loving she can be.

As we've come to know about her in her two months with us, this gal thrives with her furry buddies. A home with other dogs will be a requirement.

A moderately active home will suffice! She's not a go go go type of gal, contrary to her husky roots. A family who is able to get her out and about 3-4 times a week is sufficient.

🐾 Has done great with the foster’s children
🐾 Would benefit from someone patient with transitions and willing to give her time to settle into a new routine. She's had A LOT of change after being surrendered during Iron Fire and needs a patience family
🐾 Absolutely gorgeous, sweet, and very deserving of her person

Kela will be coming back to us, but we would LOVE for her stay to be short. She doesn’t need perfection, she needs someone willing to understand her, give her consistency, and let her figure out that she’s finally home.

Please share Kela. Her person may be one share away. 🩷

Apply for Kela here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQYDNLj66Rin92tr6jD6HVBw4fFww70S1co2-lExeMzff4MA/viewform

Agreed. There's not a single scenario where we wouldn't recommend crate training.
