  • Fox heard it’s our birthday. That’s right, baby girl, we turn 5 years old today and have since saved you and over 700 of your friends thanks to our amazing community who help us do this work. We started with about 5 dogs, 5 volunteers and $5 to our name and have now introduced hundreds of humans to their best friend who might not have made it out otherwise. And we’re just getting started. Join us in raising a fork to celebrate this afternoon at 4pm at our virtual birthday party with those who support us year-round — our members, adopters and volunteers. It’s not too late to become a member and get in on the fun, plus save puppies like Fox each and every month. You also get our exclusive members-only fanny pack; then we both get a present. And it’s the only gift we really want. Link in bio for details. Happy birthday to us!
  • A pug and his Sloth reminding everyone its not too late to become a member and help us save lives like theirs each and every month. Do it before tomorrow afternoon and get an invite to our virtual birthday party at 4 where we’ll cheers to 5 years and 738 lives saved. To help us celebrate, @memozcafe is donating proceeds to us all month and has dessert specials with our name on them — literally. Become a member, save a life, get a fanny pack, join the party, eat cake. Almost in that order. ...ok Sloth, just one more then it’s quiet time.
  • We know time is meaningless these days but is it just us or did the end of May really sneak up after seeming to drag on? Our Cake Day is finally here TOMORROW and we have a special surprise for dog lovers: kittens. These babies are finally up and moving around so we think it’s time our members are the first to meet our first OCATs. So grab your cake from @memozcafe (donating proceeds from dessert specials to us all month long), settle in with your pup and get ready for cute stuff happening at 4pm Friday, May 29th. We’ll be celebrating 5 years of rescue, which includes 732 dogs and now 6 cats. We couldn’t do any of it without the support of our Community, so we want to raise a fork with all of you to half a decade. We'll also play a quick game of trivia, hear some tips/fun games to do with your dog during a stay-at-home pandemic from our certified trainers, and celebrate the best way we know how: together (but safely) as a community of animal lovers. Not a member and already having fomo? Totally get it. It's not too late to join the party. All members will be sent a private zoom link later today, just help us save lives each and every month. Comes with a fanny pack; does not come with a kitten (though fanny-packed sized, we believe it’s frowned upon). Link in bio to sign up.
  • On Monday we welcomed 28 new dogs into our program (only 27 according to our new dog day coordinator because she always works harder than she realizes). While each save is special, and each flight with @dogismycopilotinc particularly so, this Memorial Day 2020 crew is extra — not only is it the most dogs we’ve welcomed at once amidst COVID, many of these babies have been waiting weeks and even months for their freedom ride. With Texas being the vast desert it is, there’s a whole lot of humans working overtime all the time to make that long ride happen for dogs they don’t know and may never see again. And when we say it takes a lot of work, we’re talkin’ 1 human driving 11 hours with 17 dogs; we’re talkin’ a pilot clocking 14 hours in the air on his day off from being a general practitioner (...Superman? Is that you?); we’re talkin’ a team of 4, which used to be a team of 8, starting their day at 3am in order to take care of, properly identify, and load up 74 animals. And we feel a tiny bit guilty, knowing Friday is our 5th birthday and these dogs are our gift to ourselves. To celebrate how far we’ve come since 2015 when we had about 5 volunteers, 5 dogs and $5 to our name. Today we’ve saved 127 dogs (and 5 kittens!) so far this year and 732 in our lifetime with the help of our incredible support system of above and beyond volunteers, adopters and donors. We felt like that deserved 28 new best friends in our community. Join that community by becoming a member, who help us save those lives each and every month (and get this exclusive fanny pack, among other perks) ensuring we can keep it up. Then come to our Cake Day this Friday and raise a fork to 5 years and as many more as it takes.
  • When social media ain’t work right. Rhino is us. And he’s asking you to become a member. You get a fanny pack. You help us save lives each and every month. Link in bio. We’ll explain more with the video we’re about to repost so y’all can see the whole thing. Mark Zuckerberg just know that you’ve upset Rhino.
