Our Latest Rescues

Tiny Terrier Mom Determined to Keep Her Litter Safe

Saved as part of a National Mill Dog Rescue mission that included 50 small breed dogs, young Tillie had already proven herself to be a survivor. Life in a commercial breeding facility, like the one Tillie was rescued from, typically means inhumane conditions where dogs are treated solely as commodities. We were thankful to have this sweet Silky Terrier girl in our care, and shortly realized her condition was more complex. Though barely a year old herself, Tilly was pregnant. Given her young age and diminutive size, we knew that it was possible she could struggle with delivery.

Sweet Oreo and Her Pups Find Safety in Our Nursery

Oreo came to us from our partner Rescue Dog & End of Life Sanctuary in Tennessee. Sadly, this adorable girl wasn’t provided with the responsible home every pet deserves. Oreo’s owner did not have her spayed and did not have a plan for her care in case of an emergency, which in this case turned out to be her owner’s incarceration. Fortunately, our rescue partner was able to take Oreo in, and to their surprise, discovered she was pregnant.

Rescued Parvo Pups Are Reminder of Pet Responsibility

Our Freed Special Recovery Center welcomed Boone and Doc, pair of Siberian Husky-mix puppies in need of emergency medical treatment for parvovirus. These young brothers suffered from neglect, and would likely have perished without intervention. Their tragic circumstances — avoidable with standard vaccinations — serve as a reminder that taking an animal into your home is a significant, lifelong commitment.
