We love bringing you updates on some of our rescues, especially the ones that started with the toughest odds.

Little Sweet Pea was found hiding underneath a car in Ephrata a few months ago. We were contacted by concerned locals who believed she may have been hit by a vehicle. There was also a small male dog with her, but despite our efforts, we were unable to locate him.

Sweet Pea was terrified. When we crawled under the car to reach her, she bolted. Thankfully, she ran into a nearby yard where we were able to safely corner and catch her using bite gloves. She was ready to fight for her life because she felt threatened, little did she know that we were there to help.

The next call was to Kris at Animal Cracker Grooming & Boarding Moses Lake, who saw the heartbreaking condition Sweet Pea was in and immediately took her under her wing and cleaned her up. Not long after, one of our rescue supporters saw her story and reached out to foster her. Mic and her mom, MaryJo, quickly fell in love with this little girl and knew she belonged with them forever.

For adult dogs like Sweet Pea, we often waive the adoption fee and ask adopters to have them spayed within two months. We are thrilled to share that Sweet Pea is now living her very best life, surrounded by love, safety, and comfort. Most importantly, she will never have to endure another litter of puppies.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in her rescue and recovery. Sweet Pea, like so many others, deserved a chance at a better life—and because of compassionate people, she got one. ❤️🐾

Our fosters went back down to Beverly yesterday to pick up the remaining 5 puppies that were under 2 pounds, but sadly 2 were gone. The family living there says they don’t know what happened to them.

They were able to bring out the 3 smallest puppies and put food down for the remaining dogs. The dogs acted as though they hadn’t eaten in a very long time. The family told us they had stopped feeding them because they felt the dogs were “eating too much.”

We are trying to navigate this situation carefully, as we believe alcohol may be a factor, and our primary goal is getting these animals out safely. There are still 6 puppies remaining, approximately 4–5 months old, and they are our next priority. To make that happen, we desperately need more foster homes or a rescue/shelter to take them.

We will be returning today to vaccinate and deworm the dogs still on the property. We will also be placing collars on them so we can identify each puppy moving forward.

Currently, we have 9 tiny puppies in our care. The family has no idea when they were born. The smallest puppy weighs only 1.2 pounds and has multiple bite wounds. We are working to get her into a veterinarian as soon as possible to have those injuries evaluated.

🚨 URGENT MEDICAL FOSTER NEEDED 🚨

This little girl needs a medical foster who can keep her separated from her siblings. She barely eats, and the larger puppies overwhelm her. We will provide supplies and support.

We are also looking for foster homes for the other puppies. Ideally, we’d like to place them in pairs so they can continue learning important social skills and have a companion while they grow.

If you can foster, even temporarily, please reach out. These puppies need us, and we cannot do this without our community. ❤️🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
