Here are the 3 remaining dogs in need....

Rose wants to keep 2 of the dogs and will not release them. There are 3 more in need. Of the 3, I feel Kayla is the least adoptable. She is fear aggressive/guarded on the end of her chain. She will warm up once she gets used to you but will take an experienced rescuer. Princess is shy, but not at all aggressive with people. She just needs someone to give her time to trust. Streak is a little shy but very loving and playful. She's a sweet, happy girl who deserves a better life. Here are their pictures and videos of Streak and Princess. We are accepting donations of "sponsorship" to offer to any reputable rescue who can take these dogs in.

Princess


Princess, medium-large whitish dog, female, not spayed
Princess is probably the most shy dog there, but is getting more and more eager to approach us. She is SOOOO happy to see anyone she knows, but still isn't sure about strangers. Not at all aggressive, she'll pee submissively if she thinks you're going to corner her. She wants to love so badly and gets very attached.

Streak


Streak, small-medium tan dog, female, not spayed
Streak is a sweetie. A little nervous about new people and definitely not a fan of the camera... but very approachable when the camera is safely tucked away

Kayla


Kayla is very guarded but will warm up once she gets to know you. She has the typical chained dog behavior (aggressive on the chain, weary of new people) but with some work and a new environment definitely has potential to be a great pet. She just needs someone with experience and patience to give her that chance.

The rescued cats need your help!!

The cats in Rose's house were living in horrible conditions before the cat rescue helped with so many. Last year countless were saved from small, horrible enclosures. Many were also spayed and neutered. There were 14 more they recently saved, PLEASE help them if you can.

Here are pics of some previous cats helped and the enclosures they used to live in and were saved from:

That small piece of mesh/fencing is all they had to see to the outside world and all they had for ventilation.
I circled their cage so you can see just how small it was (maybe 3 ft tall):
Rescue needed for these cats as well as help with their medical bills:

All of the cats taken from her home are sick (URI, etc)...some worse than others. I hope to s/n and finish vetting the healthier ones this month. They were already treated for fleas and ear mites (will need continued treatment.

Black female with very bright eyes. Beautiful.



Calico (mom to the gray kitten and buff kitten)


Very sweet girl...loves attention...would let my dog pet her if he could. lol



Her brother (his eye was closed because Brady (dog) was breathing on him):


The cats posted above are the healthier ones who should be available for rescue/adoption first. There are a few other cats not posted.
Also, she gave me several kittens who sadly did not make it
I took them to my vet and they were just too sick.

I'm not sure where she got them from (they were not born at her house).

Keisha - the invisible dog

After going to Rose's house for a year and working on rescue for the dogs there, I thought I knew all of them. I had taken pictures of most and while I hadn't seen Casper in person until recently, I did have his picture from another rescuer. Then one of the cat rescuers was telling me about Keisha, the dog that Rose has but no one ever mentions. She called her the "invisible" dog there. Everyone thought she was aggressive because she was protective and growled in her crate.


Keisha apparently has lived in an airline crate for years. She only got out to go to the bathroom. When I saw her I knew I had to take her. She was just pathetic with ear infections in both ears, both eyes infected, and a horrible skin infection that smelled bad and caused her to itch constantly. Keisha is also missing some of her top teeth and has worn down her canines from chewing on the bars of the airline crate trying to get out. Despite Keisha's reputation of being "aggressive" she was a total love once she got out of the crate. She crawled in my lap and gently handed me her paw, grateful for any attention or love she received. This girl needed a second chance and we're so glad she has one.

This is why we keep going back....

Here are some pictures of the dogs that we have been able to save. They are happy and loved in their new homes. All of the dogs there deserve this chance. Please help us finish this project and get the remaining dogs off their chains and into loving homes. Thank you so much for your support so far and more pictures/updates are coming!

From her family -
Cocoa is a part of everything we do. She is like our third child and we feel so blessed to have her. The boys start and end each day looking for her and even as I type this, she's sitting at my feet. She's pure love and we can only hope that the other dogs that lived along side her get a chance to bring as much love to a family as she has brought to ours. Thank you for all that your team does for these dogs and for bringing us our sweet baby!!
