River

My story

RIVER! The services we provide are truly invaluable to the hundreds of dogs we rescue each year. Recently, we were asked to help a dog out of Nicholas County. A rescue partner stepped in and removed him from a neglectful situation, and he has now safely come into our care. He will most likely remain in quarantine for a month or more and is scheduled to see the vet on Friday. Dogs like him need a safe, quiet place to spend that quarantine time — a place where they can decompress, begin to heal, and learn what safety feels like. Just like Wolfie, who needed months to recover and learn that humans could offer food, comfort, safety, and ultimately love, this dog now has that same chance. This is why our mission matters so deeply. These dogs need more than rescue — they need time, space, care, and compassion. Please consider helping us continue this mission. Your support makes it possible for dogs like him to have a safe place to land while they heal.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt River, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
