๐Ÿพ Happy Giving Friday! ๐Ÿพ
Today, weโ€™re taking a trip down memory lane to where it all began. Meet Cash, our very first rescue! ๐Ÿฅบ
His transformation is what this is all about. On the left is his "Freedom Ride" on June 12, 2024โ€”a little unsure, but finally safe. On the right? Thatโ€™s pure joy and a massive smile in his forever home!
Cash is the spark that started it all for us here at Big Dawg Ranch and Rescue. He is the reason we fight so hard for these pups. Every journey begins with a single step, and Cash was ours. But there are still so many more dogs out there waiting for their own freedom rides.
As we continue our mission and work toward our goal of expanding our capacity with Brock's House Sanctuary, we rely on the incredible support of this community.
For Giving Friday, will you pitch in to help us save the next Cash? Every single donation goes directly toward food, vetting, and giving these dogs the second chance they deserve.

These pups were such a mess... This is Hank, Princess, and Joker as pups. They're still with us. They came as a package deal with Malibu our first rescue mission before we even knew we were rescuers. We literally thought hey this will be a good way to learn about getting a dog thru a pregnancy and raising pups. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

So for anyone interested in our last hatchlings, their setup, and progress. We did have 36 eggs, but 4 came damaged so I feel like we had some bad luck on our hatch rate due to shipping.
