Gagne Homestead And Rescue

Today, on International Widows’ Day, we take a moment to remember and honour the incredible strength, courage, and resilience of widows around the world.

To anyone who is carrying the weight of loss, please know you are seen, you are valued, and you are never alone.

From all of us at Gagne Homestead and Rescue, we send our love, compassion, and support today and always.

🐾 Rocco is Looking for His Next Chapter 🐾

Rocco is still looking for his forever home, and that remains our goal. In the meantime, Gagné Homestead & Rescue is seeking a foster, foster-to-adopt, or adoptive home for this special boy.

Due to an ongoing back injury that has not improved as expected, Rocco's foster is no longer able to provide the level of exercise and activity that this young, energetic boy needs to thrive.

This decision comes from a place of love. Rocco is adored by his foster and has been thoroughly spoiled with special breakfasts, frozen berries, yogurt treats, toys, and endless affection. Because he is so loved, the difficult decision was made to put Rocco's needs first and begin searching for a home that can better support his active lifestyle while we continue looking for his forever family. He loves having a big yard to run around in and plays fetch.

❤️ What you should know about Rocco:

• Neutered, approximately 11 months old, smart, affectionate, loyal, and eager to learn
• Loves cuddling at night and sleeping in bed with his people
• Crate trained and comfortable spending time in his crate
• Loves having a chew toy in his crate—his version of a soother while he relaxes
• If given adequate exercise morning and evening, he can do well in a crate while his humans are at work
• Forms strong bonds with his family and loves being included in daily life

🐕 Other Dogs: Rocco can live with other dogs, but he needs time and proper introductions. He doesn't become friends overnight, but once comfortable, he enjoys having canine companions and currently plays happily with a bulldog mix in his foster home. He also lives with a chihuahua who is chill, but Rocco tends to be a little too rough at times - needs supervision.

🐱 Cats: A home without cats is much preferred, an extremely dog savvy cat would be acceptable. (The cat cannot run or Rocco will give chase.)

🐇 Small Animals:
No small animals, please. Rocco does have a prey drive.

🏡 Ideal Home:
✔ Active lifestyle
✔ Commitment to continued structure and training
✔ Understanding of large-breed dogs
✔ Patience during introductions to other pets

Please share to help us find the right fit for this incredible boy. We know his perfect family is out there.

To inquire about fostering or adopting Rocco, please contact Gagne Homestead & Rescue.

Have you bought your ticket yet for our Mrs. Roper's Romp Bingo Fundraiser?

For just $60, your ticket includes an appetizer buffet, bingo, prizes, laughs, and a great night out with friends—all while supporting Gagné Homestead & Rescue.

Let's be honest: it's hard to go out for dinner and entertainment these days for less than that. Not only do you get a full evening of fun, but every dollar helps a rescue that spends tens of thousands of dollars each year caring for animals that have been abandoned, neglected, surrendered, or simply had nowhere else to go.

We do need to be transparent: if ticket sales don't improve, we may have to cancel the event.

If you've been thinking about coming, now is the time to grab your tickets. Bring a friend, enjoy the appetizer buffet, play some bingo, and help us continue our rescue work.

The animals are counting on this fundraiser—and we're counting on you. ❤️

Today we want to take a moment to recognize someone incredibly special to us — Lily ❤️

Lily has been by our side helping make Gagne Homestead And Rescue what it is today. Through the early days, the busy days, the difficult days, and the amazing days, she has always shown up with kindness, compassion, dedication, and the biggest smile.

Lily has a heart that is truly made for animals. Whether it’s helping care for animals, lending a hand wherever needed, giving comfort to those who need it most, or simply spreading happiness to everyone around her, she does it all without hesitation.

Many people have supported our rescue over the years, and we are beyond grateful for every single person who has helped us along the way — but this amazing young kid deserves recognition for the countless hours, endless love, and unwavering support she has given.

Her compassion, kindness, and dedication remind us exactly why rescue work matters. The animals absolutely adore her, our volunteers appreciate her, and we are incredibly lucky to have watched her grow alongside our rescue.

Lily — thank you for being you. Thank you for your endless love for animals. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for believing in our mission from the very beginning. You have helped shape this rescue into what it is today, and we could not be more proud of you.

Please also note that we have received permission from Lily’s mother and Lily herself to share photos of her.

We appreciate you more than words can say, Lily ❤️
