Two of Our Greatest Triumphs

Rescue is a commitment of love and willingness to have the patience and understanding necessary to help a dog have a second chance at a wonderful life.
R is for RESPONSIBILITY & RESPECT:
Be mindful that you have committed to being responsible for another life and respectful that that life, however imperfect, is dependent upon you for a happy and healthy future.
E is for EMPOWERED & EMPATHETIC: Feel empowered by this responsibility to fight for, and with, the dog to make it the best dog it can be. Be empathetic that its behaviors and health are the product of what it suffered before you came into its life.
S is for SAFETY & SECURITY: Ensure that your dog feels the safety and security it needs to become free of fear, and secure enough to be itself. It is only through a true sense of safety and security that these dogs and their humans can undo all that happened before DRSF.
C is for CARING & CAUSE: Remember that
it is only though consistent love and caring (despite bad behaviors and health problems) that what is now unacceptable can be changed; it is because of this we are driven to rescue and adopt rescued dogs.
E is for EVENTUALLY & EVERY: Please keep in your heart and in your mind that eventually, often with a lot of love and hard work, EVERY DOG can become a wonderful and loving family member and companion!

Sandra said he is doing incredible and walking now all by himself in his cart (K-9 Carts) and he wagged his tail!!!
Little Gabriella is doing great with her physical therapy and we hope to have a cart for her soon. Check her out in the Doxie Derby and read her story.

We are so sad to share that Emma crossed the rainbow bridge Tuesday the 20th.
Emma came to use in July 2009 and was very lucky to find a wonderful foster dad, Ed, who cared for her until it was her time. We are arranging a private cremation for her and will have a small ceremony in her honor. All foster homes are special, and those who love a doxie until they cross the bridge are extra special. Please join me in thanking Ed in all he did for Emma. (Read more of her story)
