Our Work and Success
We take every measure possible to save, heal, foster, and facilitate the adoptions of animals that may not have a chance otherwise.
When you support us, you’re supporting a group of more than 350 volunteers who:
Coordinate with rescuers in two of the most under-resourced counties in Mississippi and Alabama to save abandoned animals
Work with local animal control officers to take in surrendered animals, and animals who are the subject of animal cruelty and neglect cases
Take shifts at all hours of the day and night at our current facility to take in, care for, and socialize animals while they await foster
Transport animals to and from veterinary care
Foster and observe animals in their homes, a critical step that helps the animal get used to living with humans and helps us find an appropriate adopter
Plan, facilitate, socialize, and attend large- and small-scale events involving local businesses and partners across northeast Massachusetts
Cindy Lou
Cindy Lou was found in a dire state on the streets of Boston. Severely underweight, she was battling starvation and had a skin infection that covered her entire body. Cindy Lou needed gentle, around-the-clock care to help her survive. Weeks of constant attention and medical rehabilitation allowed Cindy Lou a full recovery and a loving home.
Christian
Christian was found on a highway and initially presumed dead. Fortunately, a passerby called for help. With severe damage to one of his eyes, Christian was suffering and in terrible pain. Although his eye needed to be removed, surgery and proper care allowed Christian to recover and find safety.
Oscar
Oscar was found injured and alone, struggling to walk on two legs that had been shattered by gunshots. Though only one leg could be saved, his will to survive never wavered. With his rescue came comfort, healing, and a fresh start. Now Oscar may move through life with only one leg, but he also moves with determination and a loving heart.
Baby Steven
Paralyzed and abandoned, this defenseless little man’s likely fate was euthanasia. Instead, a team of caretakers dedicated endless months supporting him on his road to safety. Through physical rehabilitation, including the generosity of an aqua-therapist, Baby Steven now rolls through his days with unflagging joy. Every life is worth fighting for.
“When a dog comes to us, they, they have a sadness. They have a fear. They don't know how to act around people. But at some point when they feel love and trust, and they understand what safety is, they become a puppy again. To see these animals having fun, just living; to be part of that journey is an honor.”
