Katie came to my family when she was 4-5 months old she was a present. I never realized the gap in my family without having a pet there to greet you or just give a loving kiss on your hand to remind you that they care and love you.
In the year of 2000 my family was blessed with the presence of an unwanted kitten that had been abandoned and found by my children she quickly became one of our family. She grew very ill because it had been so mistreated that she ended dieing and broke all of our hearts because she showed us that she could forgive someone for just throwing her away so easily.
My whole family was upset over losing this wonderful creature that we all decided to visit a shelter in hopes of adopting another animal that needed so badly a loving home. We went to the shelter not knowing what to expect we ended up adopting a very cute mixed breed puppy and made it part of the family. As I walked along the cages and looked in each one and seeing those sad hollow eyes staring back at me as if to say "Take Me" then I thought of my own Katie and how she would be feeling all alone, frightened, the anixety of just waiting to see if someone maybe today takes me home or perhaps today is the day of destruction because no one wanted me.
After we left the shelter that night was nearly sleepless for me because I saw those pleading faces and eyes in my nightmares so I decided to try and make a difference however, I soon realized that I can not save them all but, for a few I can be the difference between life and death of all those unwanted animals that never asked to be born. The solution to this problem is spaying and neutering. You know if you ever start feeling sorry for yourself or over come with problems just visit your local animal shelter and look around at all those unwanted animals begging for homes then tell me do you really have a problem?
My love for Katie my golden retiever my most loyal and faithful companion over the years has seen me through good times and the bad times but, she always stood by me and never looked down on me when things were not always going so good. She is now 6 years old and has helped me in raising 2 children you would have thought when they were babies that they belonged to her because she was very protective and watchful of them always near them when they played outside or even at nights when they would go to bed she was always near. She made them feel safe, sometimes they called her theirsecond mommy. I would go insane without her so I have deciated my life and love to helping all the unwanted animals I can in her name we are called "Katie's Rescue".
Thanks to all the people whom has helped us along the way especially my family and friends for not thinking I was crazy and showing their support. We leave you with a thought "God bless all the animals large or small and please just give a warm touch or hug, a small bite of food for the hungry or just a simple kind word to an unwanted animal because your face maybe the last one they see."

HOW TO ADOPT:
Anyone interested in adopting an animal from us must fill out an application form. This must be filled out completely. There is an adoption fee and this varies with each animal. We try to
spay/neuter before the animal leaves us but, if it is not done it has
to be done. We strongly encourage spaying/neutering. All dogs are UTD on shots and wormed. We try to housebreak and crate train our animals so they can find an indoor home.
None of our animals comes with any AKC papers of any kind so if you are looking to breed forget us. We are looking for fenced in yards and
indoor homes for our pets. Each animal is people and children friendly.


OUR MISSION:

Katie's Rescue acts as a stop off point for many dogs of all
ages, sizes, and sex for many of these dogs would have already been
destroyed. They come to us from personal owners, drop offs, throw
aways, and pounds when there time is up we try to help out. We work
hard each and every day trying to find new suitable homes for these
unwanted animals. We love each and everyone no matter if they are
mixed breeds or pure bred. Age is of no mind to us because age
sometimes makes a better dog for some people mostly because they are
already housetrained, leash broke, child proofed, fed
more and so on, however puppies are very cut and cuddly as well.
