Wholesale Mylar Blankets!
Every once in a while we come across something that can make a huge difference in our outreach, and we recently found a new supplier that allows us to purchase Mylar emergency blankets in bulk at a really good price. These blankets are INCREDIBLY important during outreach. They may look small and simple, but they reflect body heat and can make a huge difference for someone sleeping outside, especially when they’re trying to stay warm with their pet beside them. I went ahead a

Outreach Update
Just so everyone is aware, there will be no outreach and no available emergency callouts Thursday, March 12th through Saturday, March 14th. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Sometimes we have to take a brief pause in order to handle other obligations and make sure we can continue doing this work the right way. Regular outreach and emergency callouts will resume on Sunday, March 15th. Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. #PayIt

It’s $5 Friday.
If every person who sees this gave just $5 today, it would mean: More dog food. More cat food. More hotel nights. More vet visits. More supplies. More lives supported. $5 doesn’t feel like much. But when it comes together, it keeps this mission moving. Right now, every dollar goes directly toward helping people and their animals stay safe, fed, warm, and cared for. No wasted funds. No middlemen. Just real help. If you’re able, please consider donating today. Every dollar matt

We are OUT of dog food
Today was another busy day out in the community. We got a lot done, made a lot of stops, and helped a lot of people and pets. Yes, there are videos coming tomorrow. I promise. Today just turned into one of those “go nonstop until you drop” days. But we do have an urgent issue… We are officially 100% OUT of dog food. Not low. Not “running low.” Completely out. There is not a single bag of puppy food or adult food left after today’s outreach. That’s actually a testament to how

Crisis for Danielle, Derek and the pups
Danielle reached out to me early this morning in a panic. She texted me because she didn’t know what to do. The weather has been brutal, tonight is going to be 8 degrees, and she and Derek were facing the very real possibility of having to leave their hotel with no safe backup plan. The stress of it all was starting to cause tension between them. That is not the kind of weather we can leave people and animals outside in. Not on our watch. So I went online and booked them in t

Corey & Aurora are safe until Tuesday. But donations are still needed.
Corey is officially booked in through Tuesday. We were able to extend his stay at a lower rate by booking through Expedia, saving $19 per night, which just made the most sense. The total cost to keep Corey (and Aurora) safe and warm through Tuesday was $140. I also called the hotel directly, and they are aware this is an extension of his current booking. I’ll need to go in on Saturday to cover an additional incidentals hold, which is not an issue at all, as long as Corey and

It’s $5 Friday, friends!
Every single week, you all help us change lives, not with huge gestures, but with small acts of kindness that add up to real world impact. $5 may not seem like much on its own… but when a community comes together with $5 hearts, homeless pets stay warm, bellies get fed, meds get purchased, and hope survives. If just 20 people donated $5 today, that’s: a warm tent for someone with their companion, a week of pet food, medical supplies for animals in crisis, transportation to ap

Emergency Help Needed to Get Danielle, Jesse, and Their Dogs Out of the Cold! Friends, we need your help! Danielle is facing dangerously cold weather this week in Colorado Springs.
With her health challenges and limited mobility, staying outside is unsafe. Jesse will be staying with her in a hotel room, and her dogs need to come too, they can’t be left behind. The hotel is $318 for the week, plus $250 for the dogs (they charge $25 per dog per day, and the puppies don’t count). In total, we’re raising $568 to get Danielle, Jesse, and the dogs into a warm, safe place. The temperatures are dropping fast, with lows tonight around 15°F and snow and freezing
