We are rebuilding after a devastating fire struck our shelter

It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you about a devastating fire that recently struck our shelter. This unfortunate event has completely halted our operations as we lost everything—dog runs, bowls, food, crates, transport equipment, and much more. Even our trucks sustained significant damage and are inoperable. See the photos below.

Our insurance company has informed us that we did not have "business insurance" so they are not paying for anything related to the animals. As a result, we are faced with the monumental task of rebuilding our entire operation from scratch.

Thankfully, we were able to get all of the animals to safety before the fire spread to the kennel area and for that we are so thankful. But, we have lost 10 years of hard work and dedication in just minutes. Starting over will take considerable time and resources.

UPDATE:

Our van sustained significant damage in the fire and became inoperable. However, thanks to your generous donations, we now have a new van! And we are grateful to New Graphic Designs in Blairsville, GA, for transforming it into a stunning vehicle. Please show them some love at www.newgraphicdesigns.com.

Now, we focus on the next step: rebuilding our building. This facility is crucial for our mission, providing a space for rescues to quarantine and be checked by a vet before their journey north—a legal requirement. We are almost there, but we need your help. Please donate and support our cause so we can continue this vital work.

Check out our new van!

UPDATE:

We have received the construction estimate for the new kennel, and we are almost halfway there. The total estimate is $121,300. We need to reach our goal to continue saving precious animals. Please contribute anything you can and share our message widely. We truly appreciate everyone's support; it means the world to us. May God bless you all! Thank you! Keep us in your prayers.

Imagine this, you are a tiny, baby and you have just been thrown out on some road with nothing, but your 6 siblings. And, its pouring down rain and thundering. 😢

You try to run because you are terrified, your mom is nowhere to be found, you are all alone. 😢

You see lights coming in the cold, rain and freeze up not knowing what is coming. And, in a split second half of your siblings are gone 😭 they have been ran over by the lights. 💔

So, as more lights come you try to run and all of sudden the lights stop! Maybe they have come back to get us????  🤔

When you realize its someone else you get scared again, but you don't know what to do. Your short life has been turned upside down. 

They pick you up and your 2 other remaining siblings and take you inside of the lights, holding you tightly, where it is dry and warm. This has to be it...we are finally safe! 

The nice people let us stay with them as they called over 100 rescues and nobody has space, but thankfully the kind people at Southern Journey Animal Rescue & Transport, Inc. Said, YES! ❤️ We arrived to them today with open arms and lots of food and toys to play with. 

We are so happy but also in a lot of pain. Because, we are full of worms and we have severe demodex. They are going to take great care of us, I just know it. 🥰 But, they need your help 

🙏🏼 By making a donation today you are helping us get what we need to feel better and helping all of the others they help!!!! Please, Donate now!!!!

How could someone dump these babies in the middle of the woods to die?

Why? Who? How could someone dump these babies in the middle of the woods to die?

But, God had other plans!!!! He sent his earthly angels in their path. Two of them were found close together by dirt bike riders and brought out of the woods safe. And, just a short drive away a family found the single pup.

Sadly, they were covered in maggots, fleas and are skin and bones

It just would have it that all 3 pups and Southern Journey would cross paths on facebook. Now, they have rescue. But, not without all of the angels that helped these babies along the way

As their journey begins they will need lots of care and love to grow big and strong. And, we are willing to put in the work to make that happen.

Can you help these 3 babies? Can you also be their angel if you can, they would be grateful for a tax-deductible donation
