We are NO longer doing all breeds of rescue.

We only do KEESHOND rescue and we do that in conjunction with 

Mid-South Keeshond Rescue out of Memphis.

We prefer to do Senior Keeshond rescue but will gladly help any and all Kees, young or old, pure or mix.

We regret that we are no longer doing cat foster and rescue or any other breed dog foster and rescue other than Keeshonden. 

With no donations for the past 2 years, we can no longer support the rescue out of our own pocket. Since another area rescue closed also this year, that leaves the residents of Marshall County with no other place to take their dog for adoption other than the Lewisburg Animal Shelter. While they are doing a great job of adopting out dogs, you must realize that the Shelter is still a high kill shelter. Your pet stands a better chance of finding a home if you advertise it on the local radio stations or if you create flyers and carry them to any of the 5 area vets, or TSC, Rex's Foodland, or the Farm Center. All of these places have bulletin boards where you can post your flyer. If your dog is a specific breed, even a mixed breed with a specific pure breed involved, then google to find the rescue closest to you for that breed.  

I am very sorry about this, but again, there is nothing more we can do.

Please do not call and ask me what to do with the pet you can no longer keep.  Please read the above paragraph about the options for you in Marshall County.  I cannot help you any further or give you any more information than this.

If you find a wild creature and need my assistance in contacting someone who can help please let me know.  We are NOT a wildlife rehabilitation center but can put you in touch with Waldens Puddle just outside of Nashville where we have taken fawns that have been brought to us, or I can contact the local TWRA officer.

Meet Maude, one of our fosters.  She went to Jack Russell Rescue to be fostered in Columbia.

Do NOT drive by and drop animals off expecting us to take them.  This is cruel as we live right off  the road on a major highway and the animals run the risk of being hit by cars passing by. I can't count the number of animals that have been run over just being dropped off at the road at our house.

 

Do NOT pick up animals off the road assuming they are lost or dumped.  Chances are it is only right down the drive from it's home, but when you pick it up and carry it off, chances are it may never find it's way back home.  I will not respond to calls about a 'stray' animal wandering down the road.  I do NOT pick up apparently healthy animals found wandering a road here in this county.  This is RURAL TN...and like it or not people let their animals wander.  Keep in mind what you may be picking up may be a child's family pet.  Unless it is injured let it be.

What Can I Do?

Dr. Howard Warner at Meredith Warner Animal Clinic in Lewisburg was my rescue vet.   Since I still have a HUGE vet bill there due to the fact that we took in a parvo dog from the Lewisburg Animal Shelter and she gave it to pups and dogs here at our farm, we would appreciate any and all donations you would like to make to our account there.  Dr. Warner's address for donations on our behalf is:

Meredith Warner Animal Clinic - 1370 Nashville Hwy. Lewisburg, TN  37091.  Please note it is for Critterhaven's account (Susan Ragsdale for reference).

If you would like to contribute to the care of Purebred Keeshonden in foster and rescue please contact the Keeshond Sunshine Rescue Foundation for more info and how to contribute.  They are a 501c-3 organization so your donations are tax deductible.
