Pango found her awesome home!!!
Pango found her awesome home with a family that has a lot of experience with elderly rescues, and a lot of love to give her! She was in love at first sigt with her mom, so much that she ignored the JDC staff on site, choosing instead to socialize with her humans and bring them toys from her secret stash! We are absolutely thrilled for Pango and wish her and family all the joy and unforgettable memories in the years to come!

JDC Rescue Update 12.04.26, 8:16 AM: So far, so good. Vaianu is looming around more than predicted: no landfall yet (was supposed to happen at 4 am). All the dogs are fed, have been outside, and are now back in their dry, insulated blocks, just in case things get rough later. Paired up the Fantastic 8 (six still on site) so everyone has a roommate for comfort if the weather turns nasty. The little ones are inside. The kennel area is sturdier than the cottage, so humans might borrow one for the night, lol. The ground is saturated with leftover…

Dianna managed to find her absolutely amazing family who adores her, and from Diana’s side, it was love at first sight!! Dianna was in a very vulnerable state when she came to us as a very young puppy with severe mange (basically no coat), systemic infections, and severely emaciated. Despite the daunting challenges she faced, Dianna showed incredible resilience and spirit during her recovery, which reminds us of the strength our amazing rescues have.

Keep readingAstra
Astra is a stunning 4-month-old girlie, pound rescue with a beautiful personality. We believe she has some Jack Russell in her lineage, which can be seen in the body frame of her siblings. As she grows, we anticipate that she will become a medium-sized dog, making her a perfect companion for various living situations. Astra is particularly focused on her handler, with a loving and affectionate nature. She is a happy, playful puppy who brings joy to everyone she encounters. Her interactions with other puppies are remarkable, as she gets along wonderfully with them and exhibits a friendly demeanor. Often…

Medusa – we are very very careful where this stunning GS beauty goes She had a potential home but the owner postponed twice so we are not sure there’s enough commitment for taking care of her – we decided to keep looking for her humans. Medusa is a very special soul, very sweet and one of the most well behaved dogs we have on site. She loves people, she loves other dogs.

Keep readingNeeds To Be Said
Honesty post. Because we need to say it. We are an active, busy rescue. Trying to be unbiased, independent, self-funded, and exclusively focused on the wellbeing of the dogs. We get no grants, no govt. funds, no support for solving a community problem, no wages and no affiliations. We just do it because we cannot close our eyes and NOT do it. We have no time for drama – but, ironically, once we took the side of abused dogs, a lot of abusers are being triggered and we deal on a daily basis with absolutely vile individuals, both online and…
Keep readingPound neonatals
We have just got 5 neonatals – pound puppies. 2 to 3 weeks old. Just opened their eyes. Found dumped. Won’t comment on the ones who did that… and separated them from mom so young! We are extremely grateful to the pound who went above and beyond to save them and place them with a rescue. We called our vets to highlight guidelines for care, we have been supplied milk. We need to carefully make the transfer to puppy mousse then puppy food. Puppy pads. Lots of tlc. They are indoor babies in their own heated room since they are…
Keep readingWilliam
William is one of our most special rescues, as he wiggled his way into our hearts really quickly! He was found dumped. A nice person picked him up and took him to the vet. We quickly discovered that William is a truly special guy. William is very focused on the handler, very gentle, cuddly and happy little guy. When someone is feeling low, spending time with William is proven to lift the spirits as this guy is joy personified. He is approx 3 months now, very intelligent, clean and respectful of his house. We believe he is a Boxer x,…
Keep readingOnyx
The perks of being a rescue: hanging out with ONYX and calling it work, lol. This fluffy little guy is just 11 weeks old, double vaccinated, probably a small-ish breed, and we’re not sure what he is—maybe part spaniel. He’s a pound rescue with three siblings, super social and thoughtful, and definitely the fluffiest of the bunch (the others have shorter hair). If you are interested in this wonderful fluff, please send us an inquiry at Adoption Inquiry and book a visit to meet him!
Keep readingSabrina
Let us introduce Sabrina – a 6 months pound rescue, Border Collie x, very sweet and affectionate, and with a fantastic set of floppy ears that add to her charm!

Sabrina is a happy girl, always full of energy and curiosity, very playful, sweet, and affectionate with all people she meets, whether they are friends or strangers. She would do best as an indoor pet on a lifestyle property, as she loves to run around and explore…
Keep reading8 little heartbeats need help!
Another difficult post… A very nice lady who rescued the mom and has done everything humanly possible to save the puppies and the mom. Including giving them mange medication, deworming and quality food. She asked SPCA for support. SPCA advised her to take them all to the pound. We vaccinated the eight little bubs and the mom now, microchipped, each puppy had a comprehensive vet check and will continue the treatment in the following weeks. It’s expensive, it’s heartbreaking, but they will be fine: even if the agency supposed to look after “sick and injured” slammed the door shut again.…
