🚨 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: INTAKE FREEZE 🚨
This is the post we never wanted to write. 💔
2026 has already brought several large medical cases through our doors. Surgeries. Emergencies. Ongoing treatments.
And while we would do it all again for them… the reality is this:
💔 We are currently unable to say yes to new dogs coming into the rescue at this time.
Our veterinary bills have exceeded what we can sustain, and we must look to raise a minimum of $30,000 before we can begin accepting dogs again.
At this time, we don’t have a clear timeline for when we’ll be able to start saying yes again. We’re working hard to raise the funds needed so we can continue doing the work we love.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
✔️Become a monthly donor (even $20/month creates stability)
✔️Make a one-time donation to help the dogs
✔️Return your bottles to any Return-It Express Depot (or Chasers in Vernon)
✔️Collect and submit us your receipts from Nature’s Fair, we receive a 3% donation return
✔️Buy chocolates for our purdys fundraiser!
✔️Challenge your workplace, friends, or local business to match donations
✔️Inquire with us on how you can help fundraiser. We are always looking for new connections.
✔️Share this post!
This decision has been incredibly difficult, and it does not reflect a loss of passion in any way.
If anything, it reflects just how deeply we care. We will not overextend ourselves at the expense of the dogs who are already relying on us.
We believe in responsible rescue.
We stand by the commitments we’ve made to the dogs in our care.
And with your support, we will be able to say yes again and get back to rescuing more dogs. 💛
