🐾💜 A LITTLE UPDATE FROM PAWS4CHRIST 💜🐾
First, I want to apologize for the delayed update. Yesterday was a very big day. While sweet Sassy was undergoing her life-changing surgery, I was also in Houston having surgery myself.
We have received a high volume of calls, messages, and emails for stray animals, owner surrenders and so much more, and we have not yet been able to respond to everyone 💔 Please bare with us over the next few days as we catch up. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and prayers. 🙏
💗 Now for the update on Sassy 💗
Just 24 hours after having her leg amputated, this incredible girl is already up and walking. Watching her move around without dragging her injured leg and seeing the relief on her face has brought tears to our eyes. For months, she carried the burden of an old injury that left her with wounds, and more than likely discomfort. This baby girl has a fresh start. She may have lost a leg, but she gained a future.
Sassy is currently recovering with her wonderful foster family, who have welcomed her into their home with open arms. They are giving her all the love, attention, comfort, and patience she deserves. Looking at the photos of Kristin’s daughter loving on Sassy reminds us exactly why we do this. There is something so beautiful about seeing a child show such compassion and kindness to an animal who has endured so much. Sassy is finally getting to experience what it feels like to be part of a loving family, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.
We also welcomed another rescue yesterday. This poor pup has been roaming the streets for months, terrified, matted, and unsure of people. After many failed attempts, one of our directors was finally able to get him safely secured. While one life was beginning a new chapter through surgery, another life was finally finding safety. These are the moments that remind us why rescue matters.
And speaking of blessings, we have some exciting news to share! ❤️
🐾 Toby, our sweet goofy boy who has been with us for nearly two years, will be meeting a potential forever family this Saturday! As many of you know, Toby came into rescue as a young pup and has spent far too long waiting for someone to choose him. This foster momma may shed a few tears if he leaves, but they will be tears of joy because he deserves a family of his very own—a family to love him, spoil him, and give him the forever home he has patiently waited for.
🐾 Meadow, who came to us in such heartbreaking condition and required months of recovery, healing, and care, will also be meeting a wonderful family this Saturday for a potential adoption. To see how far she has come from the scared, neglected little girl we first met is nothing short of a miracle.
🐾 And there’s more good news! We have a wonderful family who recently inquired about Bert “Bertie Boy.” They are interested in meeting him soon and potentially welcoming him into their family as well. After waiting so long for his chance, our hearts are extremely hopeful for this precious boy.
Sometimes rescue can be exhausting. There are difficult days, heartbreaking losses, and moments when the weight feels overwhelming. But then God reminds us why we keep going. He sends the right people, the right families, the right fosters, and the right opportunities exactly when they are needed most.
We are witnessing so many wonderful things happening right now, and we know it is because God has blessed this rescue beyond measure. Every life saved, every family formed, every animal healed, and every adoption is a reminder that His hand is at work in all of this.
We also want to take a moment to thank some very special people.
🥰 Thank you, Tracie, for allowing Sassy to stay with you the night before surgery and for making sure she safely arrived where she needed to be.
🫶Thank you, Kristin and your precious family, for opening your hearts and home to Sassy. We could not have asked for a better foster family.
♥️ Thank you to our family and friends who stepped in while I was away. Caring for the animals in our indoor kennel and fosters in our home is not an easy task. It means early mornings, late nights, endless cleaning, feeding, watering, laundry, scooping play yards, changing bedding, administering medications, and making sure every animal receives the love and attention they deserve. Because of you all, I was able to focus on my own surgery knowing our babies were safe and cared for. There are simply no words to express how grateful we are.
People often see the happy adoption photos, but they don’t always see the village behind every success story. The fosters, volunteers, donors, transporters, veterinarians, supporters, and prayer warriors all play a role in saving lives. Sassy’s story is proof that when a community comes together, miracles happen.
As we head into another $5 Friday, we humbly ask for your support. The needs never stop, and with so many animals depending on us, every dollar truly makes a difference.
🐾 $5 helps provide food, medications, cleaning supplies, bedding, and so much more to help these babies.
