Currently in Rescue: Beginning of 2022

It has been a very active few months with foster dog and kitten adoptions along with some new faces joining the pack so far this year. I’ll try to keep it as brief as possible for this update on my rescue efforts and will dive into some details in other posts. I get lots of questions about supporting my rescue efforts, so I have lots of links at the bottom if you’re interested. I am always, always grateful for all of the support to help me help more of these sweet and innocent rescued souls. On to the updates: I […]

Today’s Loss

One of my new foster kittens died overnight. I named her Hope in her honor after I woke up to finding her still snuggled in with her siblings, but lifeless this morning. Hope was the teeniest 3-week-old kitten I’ve ever seen. She was the tabby kitten in this scrawny little litter, and I’m heartbroken that I couldn’t save her.

I thought you were due an update because a lot of changes and new faces are here, and while I was thinking about that, things changed again!

Murphy – a 15-year-old deaf and partially blind cocker spaniel makes my fourth senior dog foster currently. Add to that the four kittens […]

Foster Love in 2019

5 foster dogs and 1 foster kitten

I always do a year-end review at this time of year. And the number of fosters I’ve hosted each year is always a bright spot for me. Being able to look back on the memories with each precious soul who spent some time in my home with my pack learning how to be loved (maybe for the first time) warms my heart just when I need it most. I started 2019 with two hospice foster dogs, Muffin and Tina, and they have both moved on to new homes after a few months because they weren’t quite as in need of […]
