Nikko

Nikko has spent almost half of his life in a shelter in Mississippi since he was found as a stray. He was a staff favorite there, went to lots of adoption events, had a couple of “doggy day outs” and everyone loved him. He knows his basic commands and has excellent manners as feeding time. He is a big boy and his rescue reached out to us hoping we could give him that second chance he deserves and find him a home.

At Wright-Way Rescue, we celebrate the lifesaving work that YOU made possible in 2023 and set our sights on 2024. Thank you for supporting Wright-Way Rescue through your donations, fostering, volunteering and sharing our message.

Pups from Cleveland, Mississippi

These puppies were found abandoned in a rural area near Cleveland, Mississippi.

They had been seeking shelter in a culvert so were very fortunate there had been no recent storms. They were taken to our rescue partner in town who found a local foster home where they got lots of love and attention while they waited for their transport to Wright-Way.

They are currently in our care getting their vaccinations and other medical treatment so they can be ready for their new families.

Maxi's Story

Maxi was rescued by the Morton Grove Police Department during the 2021 holiday season. They brought him to Wright-Way hoping we could find him a home. He was accepted into our adoption program, went to foster, and was soon adopted by a Chicago family. Recently Maxi repaid his owner’s kindness by saving her life.

Maxi's owner noticed him behaving “strangely” in the laundry room. He had knocked over some items and was meowing “more than normal.” She initially brushed it off as him being silly and went about her day. Maxi became increasingly demanding and vocal and refused to leave the laundry room. His owner finally realized that Maxi was trying to draw her attention to a strange smell. She immediately called the gas company. Soon after they arrived, they confirmed a serious gas leak! Maxi and his owner safely evacuated their home while the leak was repaired. Had Maxi not alerted his owner with his “strange” behavior, they very possibly might not have found the leak in time.

At Wright-Way Rescue, we believe that animals make us better people. Thank you for allowing us to bring help and hope to so many. Your donations go straight to work saving the lives of homeless animals who need us most. Thank you for your generosity as we go into the New Year ready to save so many more who are waiting for help to arrive.

Left on the side of a country road

This boy was found alone on the side of a country road outside of Ash Flat, Arkansas. The finder tried to locate an owner, but when no one claimed him, they asked the local rescue to take him in. They were already overcrowded, so they reached out to us for help saving him. Domino is currently available for adoption.

Our team works hard to rescue animals at risk of euthanasia simply because they do not have a home in rural parts of our country. We are so grateful for the role you play in pushing our mission forward. Thank you for supporting Wright-Way Rescue through your donations, fostering, volunteering or sharing our message.

Unwanted litter in rural Arkansas

These beautiful babies were an unwanted litter in rural Arkansas. They were living in an outside pen with almost no shelter from the weather and the owners wanted them gone before winter set in. Our partner in the area reached out to see if there was any room for them on our next transport. We knew that without rescue they had little chance of finding a forever home or even just surviving the coming winter. They are currently with us finishing their two week medical quarantine and getting vaccinated so they will be ready to celebrate the New Year in their homes.

Once we agreed to take the puppies and learned the family wanted to keep the momma, we worked with our rescue partner to try to get the momma spayed. Wright-Way Rescue offers a free spay as part of our No Mom Left Behind Program at our community vet clinics. In cases where they are too far away, we work with our rescue partners to find local options and help cover the costs there.

You make these programs possible through your support.🐾
