Pet of the Month:
Olive & Popeye
Basset Hounds
He's Popeye the sailor man! However he and his sister, Olive, haven't had the chance to do much sailing yet. But they have both proven themselves to be strong and courageous since they were found running through the streets together and scavenging for survival. They were found by a good samaritan who called the local animal control, but since there's not a shelter, they discovered that they would have been euthanized immediately. We couldn't let that happen, so we took them in.
Popeye loves to play with and carry around toys, and he will bring them to you in an effort to get you to play with him. Popeye has been to the vet for his initial vetting and vaccinations, and the vet believes he is just 5 months old. He weighs 22 pounds.
Olive prances around like a little deer. She has been to the vet for her initial vetting and vaccinations, and the vet believes she is just 5 months old. She weighs 14 pounds.
Both are currently in Texas with a foster, but will be transported to the NJ area once adopted. They don't have to be adopted together.

March is Our Birthday Month
Our first adoption was on March 20th, 2021. His name was Rocky, a small, sweet Chi mix whose owner
couldn't keep it any longer.
$vyears passed by, and despite the hard times
of very low adoptions all over the US, and fosters are hardly ever available. With vet and food prices up and no donations to help with expenses, we managed to save 655 dogs and a few cats. Unfortunately, many are still waiting for a home, and growing up in our foster in the South, that is not what we want for them. But at least we know they are safe.
We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization volunteers and foster-based rescue in the Tri-State area. Our mission is to place in danger or unwanted animals, no matter age or breed, in homes, to educate the public, and help stop animal cruelty and neglect. We can't do it without your help.
In the first six months of 2024, only 49 dogs have been adopted from us.
That means we can't save new dogs that are desperately in need. Shelters across the country are over capacity, and animals are being killed for space. All rescues are doing all they can, but like us, they have no adoptions, no fosters volunteering, and no donations coming in for vet payments, food, toys, and basic prevention like fleas and ticks in this firey summer.
We are still trying our best but don't see any changes soon.
If you can help and foster a dog and you are in the tri-state area, please contact us.
If you can donate food, treats, flea treatment, toys, and anything else, please go to our Chewy List.

2025 - A new year, New Hopes
Four months are almost behind us. This year has been challenging by far.
We've been dealing with heartworm-positive dogs, way more than ever. The treatment is painful, lengthy, and costly.
We keep getting requests to take in dumped puppies, owner-surrendered dogs of all ages, and dogs on the killing list.
We are overwhelmed and limited in money. We need many more fosters and, above all, adopters.
Only 37 dogs went home by April 15, and almost 50 are still waiting. We hope to help many more this year.
Please help if you can

New Year 2024, Big Hopes don't come true!!
So far, almost all our small dogs have been adopted. But we have larger dogs born in our rescue, and we took in the dumped mothers. These dogs are beautiful but big, and people don't adopt big.
Total adopted 131 dogs and had 30 left in our care at the end of the year

The year 2023 - a very sad year !!
From January 2023 up to the beginning of December, 154 dogs have been saved!! But not adopted. We have dogs waiting for a very long time, over 12 months. And we have no choice but to reject requests to help more dogs, and it breaks our hearts.
Our animal rescue is a non-profit organization that was established 2 years ago and has done great work in saving animals since then. Unfortunately, in 2023, the situation has become very bad, with no adoptions and no fosters, leading to an increase in the number of dogs being euthanized. We are now urgently calling out for new fosters and volunteers to help us save these dogs and give them a chance at a better life. Please join us in our mission to make a difference and save the lives of dogs in need.
Join us here to foster and volunteer.
The year 2022
Since January 2022, we saved 247 DOGS and cats who found loving homes, and we keep in touch with them all.
All these dogs were saved from being euthanized in the South.
The year we started - 2021
From March 2021, when we opened our rescue, until mid-October, we saved 134 dogs and cats. They found loving homes, and we keep in touch with them all
