Growing older doesn’t take away a dog’s love. It just changes the way they show it.

The puppy who once sprinted toward you with endless energy eventually slows down, but the bond they feel only grows deeper. They may not chase toys the same way or keep up on long walks, but they still watch you with the same trusting eyes. They still wait for you. They still adore you with their whole heart.

All they really hope is that you stay by their side the way they always stayed by yours. The years you shared never fade for them. Even as their body ages, their love stays steady - gentle, loyal, and true. Being there for them in their later years is one of the greatest gifts you can give, because it tells them they were never just a moment in your life. They were family.

Dennis would like to tell everyone that we are just a few short weeks away from the end of the year. So far we have adopted out this year 294 animals. 161 dogs and 118 cats. That’s almost 25 animals every single month that is getting adopted. Almost one pet per day getting adopted! This all couldn’t be possible without the amazing staff and fosters that I have that works around the clock referencing people for adoptions and taking care of the animals….but we have a long ways to go still.

So the end of the year is just in a few short weeks and I still have 55 dogs/puppies, 73 cats/kittens, 1 bunny, 2 guinea pigs, 2 cockatiels, 1 sun conure and 1 blue crowned conure up for adoption. So I purpose that we share, like and comment this post, and just maybe, MAYBE we can beat the monthly record and adopt out more than 25 animals this month!!!

Yes we do screen our adopters but that’s because we value the lives of the animals that we rescue. Yes it’s a process to adopt. Have you ever bought a house? That’s not even a living and breathing thing and it takes months of jumping through hood to get one. Should be the same to get an animal…but we do all of that to ensure YOU and the animal are happy with the lifelong commitment of adopting.

So share share share. Call the rescue for questions at 989-463-9797 and fill out the adoption paperwork as stated in all of its instructions to make it easy to get through the process. If you skip through the online adoption paperwork or do not give the correct info or you do not call your vet to let them know we are calling, your application may be skipped over. If the phone lines are busy there’s only one answer to that, keep calling please. We only have one girl working the front and two phone lines. Please be patient.

Thank you to everyone who trusts us either by surrendering your pets to us or adopting from us! You all rock!

And bonus, a little ridiculous picture of Dennis to boost this post 🥰

LETS GET SOME PETS ADOPTED FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!

Bella… returned for loving too much.

Yes, you read that right.

The gentle gray pitbull you see in this picture—curled up quietly on her blanket—is a 5-year-old sweetheart who was brought back to the shelter simply because she liked to snuggle close to her person at night. Her only “crime” was wanting to feel safe beside the human she loved most.

She didn’t misbehave.
She didn’t destroy anything.
She had no issues with other pets.

She was returned for one reason only: her need for affection—warmth, closeness, connection—was considered “too much.”

And now, Bella lies here just like this… curled up, calm but heartbroken. Her eyes carry confusion and longing, as if she’s still trying to understand why love wasn’t enough.

This gentle soul doesn’t need much—just someone who knows that wanting closeness isn’t a flaw. It’s part of what makes a dog family.

Bella deserves a forever home where “too much affection” doesn’t exist. 🖤

So as I said to the two men who jumped out of the van to try and revive the ‘dead dog’. Lola isn’t dead,…… she is having one of her throw yourself on the floor and sulk moments because she has just realised that we aren’t going up the hill to her woods.

I’m standing there patiently waiting for her to get over herself. Please don’t panic if you see this. This is what she does, this is one of the reasons why we love her so.

In a quiet rural shelter, two timid pitbulls 🐶💔—Rusty and Rosie—huddled together in a corner. Their frail, bony bodies showed the truth: they weren’t aggressive; they were simply starving. Every “mistake” they made was just a desperate attempt to survive.

Pressed against the shelter wall, they held onto each other for safety and warmth 🤍🐾. Their eyes told a story of puppies who hadn’t felt love in a very long time.

When a rescue group saw them, their hearts broke. These gentle souls were being punished for trying to stay alive. Within hours, Rusty and Rosie were wrapped in blankets and taken to a foster home, hearing soft whispers: “You’re safe now.” 🥺✨

Healing came slowly. At first, they guarded their food, afraid it might disappear again. But soon, they learned there was no more need to fight. Each day brought full bowls, soft beds, toys, and loving hands ❤️🐶.

A few weeks later, Rusty and Rosie—these inseparable pitbulls—were adopted together. Their new family couldn’t imagine splitting them apart. Now they race around a big yard, play with the kids, and curl up together at night—finally at peace 🤍🏡✨.

Their story proves that with love, patience, and understanding, pitbulls can become the most loyal and gentle companions. 🐾❤️

Caring for a senior dog is one of the gentlest acts of love we ever get to give. As they age, they depend on us in new ways, and that shift often leads people to search for guidance on patience, comfort, and supporting an aging pet. Their loyalty never fades, and they deserve the same steady devotion in return.

There’s something incredibly meaningful about slowing down with them, adapting to their pace, and being present through every chapter. These moments highlight the deeper parts of companionship - compassion, commitment, and the quiet kind of love that grows stronger over time.

Growing old together is a privilege. And when we honor their needs with kindness, we show them that the bond they gave their whole life to is still safe, still respected, and still filled with love.

A woman just sent us this photo explaining that she found this puppy — he's still breathing. She's on her way to us with him, and we're ready to welcome her.
Send a thought for this little one.

She found him on the side of a road in rural Georgia, weak, drenched and unable to move properly. 💔
This young pit bull has visibly suffered a lot — his face is swollen, his body is exhausted, and yet... her heart is still beating. There's still a spark left.

He's now coming up to us wrapped in a blanket fighting to hang on.
Our veterinary team is waiting for him, ready to offer him everything he needs: hydration, comfort, warmth and a real chance to succeed.

We don't know what he went through, but one thing is certain: he deserves to be safe, loved and cared for.

Please keep him in your thoughts tonight.
Leave a ❤️ for this brave little one — let's fill his path with hope before he even arrives.

Someone commented today that it was disgusting that people let their dog sleep on their bed. I am more than ok with being disgusting.

Because honestly? This right here is my peace.
My calm after the chaos.
My soft place to land when the world feels too loud.

After a long day, nothing resets my heart like this big, warm, gentle soul stretched out beside me. He’s not “just a dog.” He’s the one who follows me from room to room, the one who senses my stress before I even say a word, the one whose love never wavers — not for a second.

So if someone wants to call it “gross” that he hogs my blankets or snores in my ear… that’s their problem.
To me, this is comfort.
This is connection.
This is home.

And the truth?
If being “disgusting” means I get moments like this…
I’ll choose disgusting every single time. 🖤🐾 1

On his last day, he knew. 🐾
For 87 long days, this brown-eyed pit bull sat behind the cold metal bars of a small shelter in Georgia. Families walked past his kennel without stopping.
Every morning, he stood up wagging his tail—full of hope. And every night, he curled up on the concrete floor, trying to believe that maybe tomorrow would be his day.

But that tomorrow never came. 💔

On day 87, it felt like he already understood—it was the end.
Just before closing time, a couple walked in. They stopped in front of his kennel. When their eyes met, something changed.

They signed the papers. ✨

That night, he didn’t have to sleep on a cold floor—he rode home in the backseat, his head resting gently on someone’s lap, finally free. 🚗💨

This time, he wasn’t just rescued—
He was chosen. ❤️

Today is His Birthday! When Lak was just a few weeks old, the world should have been a gentle playground for him. This is the age when puppies discover warm hands, soft beds, and the joy of simply being alive. But for Lak, everything unfolded differently.

Instead of safety, he met confusion. Instead of care, he met hardship. He was still trying to understand how to use his tiny paws, how to trust the world around him — and then, in one unexpected moment, his life shifted in a way no young puppy should ever experience.

What happened to him didn’t just affect his small body — it reached a much deeper place inside him. Lak’s fragile head needed protection now, and every movement seemed to remind him of what he had been through.

But it was his expression that lingered with anyone who saw him — a quiet, deep sadness that didn’t involve sound or tears, just a distant gaze that made him look far older than the little pup he was.

The playful spark that puppies are known for? It disappeared. Lak stopped wagging his tail. Stopped making noise. Stopped asking for attention. He simply curled into himself, staying still as if the safest thing he could do was become invisible.

And yet, hidden beneath that silence was something incredibly subtle — a tiny, flickering hope that hadn’t given up completely. It lived in the soft rise and fall of his breathing, in the way he opened his eyes whenever footsteps approached.

It was as if he was whispering: “Please… let this time be different.”

What happened next in Lak’s journey might warm your heart...
