Mission Accomplished

We got them all - All the pups have been fed and loved and gone off to their new foster homes for some lovin. And what an amazing little group of rescued pups. Some great little guys and girls that will make super little buddies. I have little poncho here and what a character!!! All 5 pounds of him. Tommorrow is Cooper's vet visit - let's hope his leg is ok ....

Another Rescue Day

Off to Toledo to pick up the second set of dogs in need this morning. Picked up 5 yesterday - 2 were adopted from the shelter so we rescued 2 Pom's, a Rat Terrier, an adorable Terrier thing and a Manchester Shibi mix. All fantastic dogs. Some young, some old, but all will be loved. The Shibi mix is my favorite right now - he's got tons of personality and don't tell anyone, but I let him sleep in bed with me last night. Shhhh....... more to come later

It's early and Friday

This morning is flying by.... must feed my pack then get everything together to pick up the first set of pups today. The Rate Terrier, Non-shedding thing, a Chi and 2 Poms. Gotta remember vetting info when I pick them up, leashes, collars, enough crates, bedding, gotta gas the car, grab a breakfast bar and throw it in my purse, and head out to Lansing. Can't wait to see all the precious faces we're saving today. Ooops-almost forgot - gotta grab some nice chewy bones so the pups feel like home now.

Getting ready to receive an abudency of Chihuahua's!

All dogs (11 I think) confirmed to come to rescue this weekend. I'm on the road for the next 2 days picking them up, distributing to foster homes, going to the vets, all in a days work. Can't wait to see my tiny Pomeranian senior girl. About 10 years old and found running in a field on the west side of the state. She needs some Midwest love and she'll be fine.

What a great day in rescue

Midwest Small Breed Rescue pulled their 150th dog today from Macomb County Animal Control. That means 150 lives saved from only 1 shelter. YES - 1 rescue can make a difference!!1
Good morning rescue friends - it's early and all the pups are ready for breakfast. But I must check email to see who needs what first. I think I have the 10 dogs covered that are coming in this weekend. I have to move a couple around, but I may be OK. We found rescue for 7 Chihuahua's, a Pomeranian, a ShihTzu, and a Rat Terrier. Still working on transport from Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne - my weekend is shot. Is it Friday yet???

Wecome to Midwest Small Breed Rescue's Blog page. Everyday there is something new to do or save - so I thought those not familiar with rescue may want to read what we do every day and how we save the dogs we do. They pick us - we dont pick them. All in a day's rescue as we always say.

Oct 27
Today we were asked to take 4 dogs, a Pomeranian, a senior Rat Terrier, a ShihTzu mix and a Chihuhua from a shelter on the other side of the state. They asked us because we don't care what ages, sexes, etc the dogs are. Midwest takes ANY dog in need. Now I have to work on transport from Grand Rapids. Do I drive all the way there.... will someone help me tranport...... I'll have to work on it today....

4 more dogs need help from Fort Wayne. Of course we will squeeze them in - they are small right??? And I jsut picked up a special needs Chihuahua named Trio from Macomb County. What a doll - he only has 3 legs but boy can he move. Who could let this little angel go??
