Who We Are
Dreaming in Baby Steps
I have loved animals my entire life. My dream is to one day live out that dream by helping those animals that cannot help themselves. I know that I need to grow slow because the number of abused, abandoned and neglected animals are great. 100% of donations right now will help organizations that are true to this cause. Whether it is a donation to a food pantry, helping ease the burden on a family pets medical needs, or sponsoring a foster dog, I will try my best to make sure every dollar makes an animals life a little safer.
The ultimate goal is a 501c3 and take in these abandoned, abused and neglected animals and provide them with a home to live forever if necessary... BUT...every day we work on training, manners and of course a little fun, to make them adoptable and free up room for more animals. Stay tuned for updates on my progress.
I have been inspired by the three dogs featured and cannot wait for this dream to be a reality.
Step one of my dream has come true! I am officially a 501c3 organization and will now take the next steps of putting your donations to great use.
Twix: The Spoiled Stray
Twix came upon my friends in early 2021 seeking help, she was starving, abused and choking on her collar and near death. I had lost one of my dogs almost a year earlier, and they immediately thought of me. I took on the task. She is my best friend and truly appreciates her new life and knows she will be loved and safe forever.
Meet Snickers
After the loss of Twix's best friend Keno who passed away in 2022 at the age of nearly 17 (Keno was on the euthanasia list at 10 months old before I had adopted her) I gave it a lot of thought that Twix needed a new friend. At a Pints and Paws event in Sanford, Florida I saw this mirror image of Twix. He was only 8 weeks old and very calm. He only started his life at a rescue and has been living his dream with an older sister and too many friends to count.
Here's Brownie
Brownie has had a life that started out very rough. She approached a human for help, scared, and clearly very abused. She has a permanent scar on the top of her head to remind her of the life she had before now. She also fought Parvo and won! She has been fighting her uncertainty of humans but with a huge team of kind friends and strangers in the world she is not slowly, but QUICKLY figuring out she is safe and loved.
Welcome Leo
Janell read an article about a breeding operation and how the rescues are full, so she took action. She did what she could and adopted Leo. With one less dog in the shelter 2 lives were saved. Leo loves being part of the #5OclockPack and enjoys his new life.
