Another example of what our mission is all about. . .
Anyone can say they rescue animals, and they can brag about finding them homes too . . . the Internet if full of them . . . . . . but we know from paid research we did years ago that American’s keep their pets only two and a half years. So even if those […]

Aldo is happy, but always worried his forever home will disappear.
Can you imagine that this sweet dog, Aldo, was 4-years-old when we found him barely surviving in the merciless deep desert, where he had contracted tick fever? As you know, tick fever is the equivalent of a bacterial rat poison. Aldo could have suddenly bled to death one day in the desert. With a simple […]

I’ve spent 38-years rescuing animals who were either abandoned or born in the wilderness.

I cringe with guilt when I hear her name, as if we were lazy and we didn’t get to know this gentle spirit before we named her. With a flurry of desperate, deep desert rescues, Brindle was in a group of sick dogs who needed emergency care. There was no time to be creative. So […]
Henrietta is a young 50-something in human years.
Henrietta was abandoned in the deep desert as a young dog. She survived her youth there. The deep desert is many thousands of square miles of death. Besides struggling with up to 120 degree heat, and starvation, many of these dogs die of tick fever, which is horrible! It is like they’re ingesting rat poison […]
Meet Al – a shy dog who was dumped in the deep desert
Al is a small dog, and he’s about 7-years-old now. He is a sweet, shy dog and I still cannot imagine who would toss him out into the deep desert, and leave him to die . . . . . without water, let alone food. People seem to be getting worse the world over, not […]
A Second Chance To Be Loved
This little guy was willing to come back and endure pain and suffering . . . just to be with us again. The older we get the more we want to know “what is really going on?” . . . and being so close to life and death for 35-years, I feel what that is […]
