Eleven puppies from Mississippi

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.

INJURED MOMMA DOG - PLEASE HELP US SAVE HER!

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.

Tiny babies found in a tote

These tiny babies were found in a tote left in a cemetery near a small Southern Illinois town. There were three babies huddling together in the cool fall weather. Despite the finder’s and our best efforts, the tiniest one did not survive.

They were less than four weeks old, so they were immediately placed into a foster home to try to save the two remaining kittens. They are now fat, happy, playful babies ready for their forever homes as soon as they gain just a little more weight.

Your donation on Giving Tuesday helps to provide the supplies needed to allow fosters to continue to take in helpless babies like these over and over again. The need never ends, so we need your help to provide life saving supplies to our amazing foster homes.

Thank you for saving lives with us.

Penny from Texas

Penny was adopted as a puppy from a shelter in Texas. She grew up with a doggy sibling and two little human siblings. She lived the perfect life for five years then one day her mom decided she did not want her anymore.

She found herself back at the shelter she had been saved from with only her tennis ball to comfort her. Penny does not understand why she lost everything and everyone she loved. The mom just did not want her anymore. Penny was extremely lucky to have been returned to one of Wright-Way’s Texas Partners. Due to the extreme overcrowding in almost all areas of Texas, owner surrenders are not even given a second chance.

Wright-Way Rescue is proud to be helping save dogs from the state that kills more companion animals than any other in the country. Please consider a donation on Giving Tuesday to support our mission in this area.

Riker: Dog found locked in a crate

Riker has spent almost the entire two years of his life locked in a crate, separated from everyone he loved. When authorities were notified of his situation, they seized him and took him to the Animal Control in their town. Unfortunately for Riker, he was now in an overcrowded Texas shelter with almost no chance of getting out alive. The team there totally fell in love with his happy-go-lucky attitude and his affection for all things human and canine, so they reached out to Wright-Way Rescue in an effort to get him placed for adoption. Who could say no to that face??

Riker has made the long trip to Wright-Way’s Morton Grove Adoption Center and is ready to finally have a real home, a family to love, and one that loves him.

Your donation this Giving Tuesday helps us save dogs like Riker. We can not help them without your help.
