Hounds on the Highway

  Today was an absolute delight as Mark and I embarked on a heartwarming journey escorting three magnificent dogs to Second Chance Rescue's sensational BRAND NEW Adoption Center in the vibrant heart of Long Island City, NY . Let me tell you, this new facility is an absolute game-changer! Picture this: a ground floor adorned with a welcoming front reception room, a cozy meeting space, a bustling kitchen, and not one but two additional rooms, all neatly complemented by two spacious dog suites nestled in the background. But the surprises don't end there – head upstairs, and you'll find a feline paradise that promises endless purrs!

With around 15 dogs, a dedicated crew of 20 volunteers, and a steady stream of approximately 50-60 compassionate souls passing through those doors...

Alongside my ongoing support for  Second Chance Rescue , I'm thrilled to shine some light on a very important animal advocacy group that is doing much needed work in Detroit, Michigan. This organization is called Dog Aide   and their mission is  "to provide assistance to Detroit dog owners who are experiencing financial hardship and struggling to provide for their pets. Our Community Outreach program was created to provide dog food, daily care items, education on proper pet care, and assistance with free spay/neuter to the Detroit community to help keep pets with their people."  Because of Michigans bitter cold temperatures this time of year, one of their biggest community outreach programs is called: L.O.D.G.E Project (Loving Outdoor Dogs and Giving Education) Founded Fall 2019  ​ The L.O.D.G.E. Project provides life-saving and life-enhancing supplies to dogs that live outside 24/7/365 days a year. Our program ensures a dog living outside has proper shelte...

  The absolute best about what we do are actual ADOPTIONS! 🐾💕 Some fall through and are disheartening 😔; some are frustrating and make you wonder about people, but some happen very fast when you least expect them! 🌟✨ You’ll find in our story today, that these were just meant to be… and several firsts all in one story! 📖🐶 The true magic happens when furry friends find their forever homes, and today's story is a rollercoaster of emotions and a long mileage journey. 🎢🏡 The day of the adoption event, we picked up Basil, a brindle boxer mix, and Spot, who is best described as a 60-pound cow – gentle, black and white, and MOOOVES when and where he wants to!  🐶🐄  He’s a big guy; an adult of about five. 🐾🎈 After our two pickups, it is up to Brewster NY, and drumroll - our first auto dealership event! 🚗🎉 A big shout out to Subaru in this story for sponsoring the event and opening the dealership for hosting; they had a STACK of custom toys, water and a donation check ...
