Meet Maple! In January of 2021, a devastating fire burned through the bustling town of Louisville, Colorado. 600 homes were burned to the ground and countless animals went missing. The animal shelters did everything they could to bring the lost pets in from the cold, and their humans wouldn’t go a day without searching for them. The We Love Doggos team personally got in their cars to search the streets for displaced pets. We Love Doggos was eager to help even more, and made a donation to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley’s Emergency Safety Net, where Maple was reunited with her family. She was one of the lucky ones. The sweet doggo ran for miles and ended up in the humane society’s care. After days of calling, they finally located her family! Boulder Valley Humane Society reunited countless pets, and for those that lost cherished family pets, they held a candlelight vigil in their memory. It was a valiant effort that we were proud to support. Maple, we love you!

Meet Nipsey, a three-month-old Heeler mutt rescued by Moms and Mutts, a dog rescue our Hero Club supports. They rescue pregnant and nursing dogs, cats, and abandoned litters in Colorado and nearby states. Nipsey's mom was one of those rescues, and after arriving in Colorado, she gave birth to Nipsey and three siblings. With our Hero Club's help and MAMCO's efforts, Nipsey is now part of the We Love Doggos family, ready for camping, biking, and endless joy. Stay tuned for his adventures!

Meet Pia! This poor gal was at the shelter for far too long and was experiencing kennel anxiety. Thanks to your help, we were able to waive her adoption fee and offered behavioral training to her new family. She was a very nervous lady, and all she needed was some extra love and resources to thrive. We are happy to share that she has found her FURever home! 

Trinity's story coming soon!

Thank you We Love Doggos Hero Club for matching our contribution and covering the cost of Oscar’s leg amputation. Without it he surely would have been put down in the kill shelter he was in.

But instead…he made a full recovery. And, as hoped, HE WAS ADOPTED!

The foster mom (aka Hooman Hero) that took him in found a co-worker who though that Oscar was the “Bee’s Knees” and made our dream of a FURever home for Oscar a reality.

Our mission was to join a team of doggo lovers and rescue PAWTners on a daring expedition to Ensenada, Mexico. 

Our objective was clear: to ensure the health and 250+ of dogs by vaccinating them against life threatening disease. This operation was codenamed “Mission PAWsible: Atiende al Perro.”

Atiende al Perro is “take care of the dog” en Español. And, boy oh boy, we did. We partnered with two incredible non-profit dog rescues: The Animal Pad (based in San Diego, California) and Los Adoptables (based in Ensenada, Mexico). We crossed the Mexican border from San Diego with countless medications, dog treats, and 10 full-sized rotisserie chickens to desensitize and entice to street doggos in order to administer the vaccines. It was a team effort, but together, we knew what we had to do. We worked diligently, and even picked up a few strays in need of immediate care. One pregnant doggo, formally named Pizza, even hopped in the van to travel home to San Diego to have her babies in a safe location.

After a trying 14-hour day in the remote hills of Ensenada, we had achieved adequate success. Over 250 doggos that we encountered had been administered the necessary medications, however, we could have used 250 more doses…the number of doggos in need was immense. We headed back to Los Adoptables to debrief as a crew, and grabbed 8 more doggos for transit into the USA. One notable doggo was Catalina; a smooshy face snuggle bug who cuddled the We Love Doggos volunteer team the entire car ride back into the states. This mission was fraught with challenges, but the reward was immeasurable. Saving the lives of countless dogs in Mexico and preventing the spread of deadly diseases was the ultimate goal. While we feel that we left behind a healthier, safer dog population, we feel that there is more work to be done. We will return with more medical supplies and chicken ASAP. 

Our mission this go round was to unite our charity partners! We teamed up with our original partners, The Underdog Railroad Transport, to bring a group of 17 doggos in need from an overcapacity shelter in Northern California over to our affiliate rescue partners in Eureka, Montana, Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter. The ultimate goal was to get these doggos out of harms way and into temPAWrary no-kill animal shelters so that they would have the best chance at finding their FURever homes. This mission was codenamed: Operation Safe Haven. 

The first step was to collaborate with the transport group, Underdog Railroad, to study the passenger list of dogs being transported. They identify dogs in high-kill shelters and pull the ones at risk in the coming days…it is a truly valiant effort on their behalf. On an ongoing basis, We Love Charity provides their non-profit with a monthly sponsorship to cover vital transport needs like dog food, medication, and gas expenses. But this time, our support was even more hands on. We worked with Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter to set the arrival date to unload the doggos from the transport van into their safe-haven facility. Our operatives, a.k.a. the We Love Doggos Executive Director, Terry Williamson and his lovely wife Lori, traveled up to Eureka to aid in the move and ensure that each dog was greeted with love, care, and a promise of a better life. Terry said, “You could see the look in their eyes; they realized that they were going to be okay…”

After some hugs goodbye, the Underdog Railroad Transport team hit the road en route to Canada to rescue even more doggos in need. Meanwhile, our team on the ground worked with Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter to make the new shelter residents comfortable in their short-term home before being adopted. Every doggo saved becomes a success story; a testament to the dedication and bravery of our team and charity partners. These missions are PAWsible because of our communities unwavering commitment of our partners, the tireless efforts of the volunteer rescue team at Underdog Railroad Transport, and the generosity of our Hero Club members who support these life-saving initiatives. Together, we are changing the lives of doggos, one daring rescue at a time.

Our mission was to lead a team of dedicated volunteers and builders on a covert mission to provide shelter and comfort to the canine inhabitants of Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter (Eureka, Montana) in dire need. Our mission is to construct a state-of-the-art Gazebo for Dogs, codenamed "Operation PUPavilion," to shield these innocent animals from the scorching summer sun and harsh Montana winters.

We began by conducting a site assessment to gather critical information on the shelter's layout to select optimal size and location for the gazebo. We presented this information to our Hero Club community of donors, and the mission was a-go. We gathered a team of volunteers and We Love Doggos Charity team members and drove to Eureka, Montana, in 90-degree heat to build the structure. There were some occasional prying doggos in the shelter’s backyard; you could see the anticipation in their eyes for solace form the hot summer day. It took the team 3 total visits, but the end result was everything Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter had hoped for and more.

Operation PUPavilion was not just about building a gazebo; it was about providing a safe and comfortable space for our four-legged friends in need. Our Hero Club’s dedication to this mission will ensure that these dogs find solace from the elements and experience the care and compassion they deserve. To commemorate our community’s dedication, we have placed a plaque in honor of our Hero Club members inside the gazebo. While the mission was covert, the humans and doggos shaded by the gazebo will know We Love Doggos for years to come. 

Our mission was to orchestrate an engaging raffle fundraiser to provide a lifeline of support for The Animal Pad, rescue PAWrtners in San Diego, California. They needed help in the care of 380+ doggos that they saved from a hoarding situation down in Mexico. Their needs were extensive, but there was a deeper meaning for the team behind the scenes at We Love Doggos Charity. The raffle operation was intended to honor a Brand AmbassaDOG who left pawprints on our hearts, Huckleberry. Huckleberry was a special needs doggo with spina bifida than many would have cast aside. But the founder of We Love Doggos Charity, Terry Williamson, took a chance on him and gave him his own set of wheels and a new outlook on life.

The We Love Doggos Charity team began by infiltrating our local and online communities to gain widespread support for the raffle and the paws behind the cause. We worked to ensure that the event wasn’t just about winning; it was about every single dog we could help in Huck’s honor after he crossed the rainbow bridge. Once we gathered top of the line prizes, we employed cutting-edge technology for ticket sales, tracking, and finally, selecting winners at random. We watched and waited for the participants’ contributions to roll in…

The community involvement in this critical mission was boundless. Terry Williamson himself hopped on Facebook Live to announce the winners and share more about the cause. He then hand-delivered a check to the Animal Pad in San Diego and evaluated how we could continue to help this dire situation on a continuous basis. With the support of the We Love Doggos Charity Hero Club, we are making a monthly contribution per month to sponsor doggos in their care. This ongoing contribution will serve as a much-needed financial boost to the rescue organization and the doggos that need it most. Thank you all of Huck’s Heroes who participated, and congratulations to all of the winners! 

Nancy Caley and Elise Von Borries are best friends and true professionals in the world of pet sitting, having spent several years informally fostering dogs. However, for the past few years, they took their fostering endeavors to the next level by formally fostering dogs for Speak for the Unspoken, a Central Ohio organization dedicated to the well-being of impaired or elderly dogs. During their tenure with Speak for the Unspoken, Nancy and Elise opened their hearts and homes to dogs that faced ... 

During their tenure with Speak for the Unspoken, Nancy and Elise opened their hearts and homes to dogs that faced challenges in finding loving homes. These dogs were often either deaf or deeply traumatized due to neglect. Their commitment to caring for these special dogs, particularly the elderly and those with impairments, reflects their genuine love for these animals.

To date, Elise has rescued approximately 20 wonderful doggos, while Nancy has specialized in saving puppies, with a particular focus on deaf puppies, and has successfully welcomed around 32 dogs into her care.

This level of dedication and compassion is nothing short of remarkable, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Elise and Nancy for being true Heroes in Action!

In a heartwarming twist of fate, Grayson, a precious Pitbull puppy, found himself in a dire situation when he was thrown from a vehicle onto the interstate. Some kind-hearted heroes discovered him and brought him to the doggy daycare where they and Abby worked. When they rushed him to the vet, his examination revealed a troubled history – his cropped ears and burned nails suggested a potential connection to a fighting ring, and he was just a young puppy at the time.

But, almost a year ago today, Abby and her family adopted him, and now they are just three classes away from achieving therapy certification. He faithfully follows them everywhere they go, bringing a dose of sweetness into their lives every day.

Grayson is Abby's only rescue, and he has an older sister, a sassy husky who makes sure he's good and will let Abby know if she thinks he's naughty. Grayson also has two human sisters named Teagan and Mia.

Grayson came into their life when the Opp family experienced a loss. He couldn't have come at a better time. He officially joined their family on Halloween of last year!
