Wright-Way Rescue received an urgent plea from Centralia Animal Control, a small facility in rural Southern Illinois. They had a senior Bloodhound named Piper at risk of euthanasia. Her previous home had allowed her to run loose so many times that animal control decided, for her safety, she could no longer go back to her owners. The odds were stacked against this mild-mannered hound. She was a senior dog quickly running out of time. To complicate matters, she needed surgery to correct eye entropion in both of her eyes and remove a growth on her eyelid. These procedures were completely outside the means of the animal control facility.

When we heard about Piper’s desperate situation, we knew we had to act quickly. A volunteer arranged for her transport to Wright-Way Rescue. When she arrived she received her standard medical care and, within 24 hours, was in an experienced Bloodhound foster home. In 5 days she will undergo surgery to correct the eye entropion that has undoubtedly caused her pain and suffering for several years.

It is thanks to our donors that dogs like Piper are able to find safety and healing at Wright-Way Rescue. Senior dogs with medical conditions require resources that few animal control facilities can provide. But their lives matter! Piper is a great dog with years of companionship to give to an adoptive family. We are thrilled to report that she has a reservation for adoption after her medical care is complete.

You might remember the story about Lily we posted previously. Lily was seen being thrown out of a car on a country road near a busy highway. She sought shelter under an old hay wagon where she waited loyally for almost a week for her people to return.

As soon as Wright-Way became aware of her situation, volunteers headed out to find her. Lily underwent months of medical treatment for demodectic mange, blisters, open sores and infected eyes. During that time she also became a pro at all basic obedience commands.

Lily is now in her Forever Home!! Please consider a donation this Giving Tuesday to support our mission so that when a pet in distress like Lily needs us, we can say, “Yes!”

Lily, Daisy, Scooter, Star, Nyla, Scout, and Snickers were on the euthanasia list at Dallas Animal Services in Texas. Wright-Way Rescue received an urgent plea to help them. Enter Operation Kindness. This organization bridged the gap and enabled Wright-Way Rescue to save these dogs.

Wright-Way Rescue has over 100 strategic transfer partnerships with animal shelters, animal control facilities, networkers, and rescue groups throughout the United States. Our priority is to work with groups dedicated to seeing positive change in their communities. By doing this, Wright-Way Rescue is able to have an impact on the national NO KILL goal. Which animals we pull from each shelter is influenced by the needs of the individual community and where they are in achieving NO KILL status.

Dallas Animal Services is the third-largest dog and cat intake shelter in the country, taking in approximately 40,000 pets annually. Despite this challenge, Dallas Animal Services believes it can be the largest shelter in the nation to achieve no kill status. That’s a goal we can support!!!

Thanks to these partnerships working together, Lily, Daisy, Scooter, Star, Scout, and Snickers arrived at Wright-Way Rescue by airplane and are now safe and loved. YOU make this work possible. YOU help rescue animals that would otherwise not be reachable. Your support and kindness saved these six lives, and so many more.

These eleven, beautiful puppies will be coming to Wright-Way Rescue from Mississippi tomorrow. Their pregnant mom was found by a wonderful family who took her in and kept her safe until her puppies were old enough to make the long trip to Illinois to find their loving homes. Mom is super sweet and the family is keeping her! She has already been scheduled for a spay surgery to make sure there are not another eleven puppies next year.

This Giving Tuesday, please help us meet our $50,000 goal so we can keep saving homeless and unwanted pets from euthanasia, abandonment, or worse. Help us give them the second chance they deserve. Every dollar fuels our mission for another year, and there are thousands more like these puppies that need help. Together, we can save their lives.

A momma dog named Josie and her six young puppies arrived at Wright-Way Rescue just a few hours ago. She was recently involved in a horrific tractor accident that tore her left rear leg off just above the knee. Despite the incredible pain she is in, momma has continued to lovingly care for her six week old puppies. Josie’s owners were unable to afford medical care for her so they surrendered her and her puppies to one of our local rescue partners who brought them all to Wright-Way Rescue.

Josie has been rushed into surgery to amputate the remainder of the injured leg and close the gaping wound. We are waiting to hear the outcome, she is in surgery right now. We are hoping for the very best for Josie. She has been through so much and has been so brave and selfless to continue caring for her puppies through the incredible pain. Josie will be hospitalized following this surgery to recover to receive pain medications and supportive care. Our staff will take care of her puppies, giving her some much needed rest. Even with the short time she had with us before surgery, Josie was sweet and affectionate to everyone trying to help her.

Your support matters for dogs like Josie and her puppies. Please help us fund Josie’s surgery and medical care.
