A picture is worth a thousand words and we couldn’t begin to describe the happiness we feel when one of our rescues is places in a loving, responsible home.  If you want to, we would love for you to tag us on instagram @rescuing_animals_in_need and show how your new family members are settling into their new lives. It warms our hearts to see our little buddies blossom in a home of their own.
