SADIE! Sadie is a purebred English Pointer that was rescued from an abusive home in Utah, where she was used for breeding only. She is registered. Sadie was underfed, undernourished, underloved, and undereverything. The owner was going to shoot her because she couldn't have puppies. She is now spayed and is being fed and treated properly. A very sweet dog.

h3>Who We Are
We don't understand people that have fences and keep their dogs in kennels all the time. It doesn't make sense. We have a fenced yard for the dogs. We use kennel fencing around our garden.
There are six states where animal cruelty is still a misdemeanor: Arkansas; Mississippi; N. Dakota; S. Dakota; & Idaho. They haven't seen the light. Ranchers and Farmers don't want the laws to change. So what people need to think about is do they want to live in a state where someone is allowed to mistreat or abuse an animal. Write to your State Legislator.
I'm sorry we are no longer in business of rescuing dogs or cats. We are a small group of individuals who care about our furry friends. God created these little critters and made all of us the stewards of their care. Like Will Rogers used to say "I never met a man that didn't like animals that was worth knowing. " A Home without a dog or cat is just a house.
Remember to spay or neuter so there are no homeless kittens or puppies. The shelters get so full of them. There are never enough homes. This is all volunteer work. We did rescue animals from our local animal shelters and got them spayed or neutered and vaccinated. We fostered them until they were adopted. There were many cats that didn't get adopted that we fostered, so we took them with us when we moved. They will have forever homes with us. We had a hard time finding good homes in Cedar City for cats. Most people wanted mousers they; didn't want them as part of their families. If people would just spay or neuter there wouldn't be so many dogs & cats in the shelters. We had one guy from Cedar City, Utah that wanted to breed his pitbull with a husky we had in foster care. He just didn't understand the problem with that. The husky was pregnant at the time. But she was so skinny we had no idea. She later had one puppy. But it was too sickly to survive. The husky was later spayed and was adopted into a wonderful home. We tried to help a small dog in Cedar City, Utah that the owner didn't want because they tried to breed her with a large dog. She did get pregnant but the puppy was dead. So they wanted her euthanized. The vet tried to save her life but she was so weak that she died. Most of the dogs or cats from the Cedar City shelter are not altered. They are not required to be altered. Then later on the dog or cat gets pregnant, and the owner doesn't want it any longer. Either they take them to the shelter to be euthanized or just dump their puppies and kittens in boxes.. .

Adopting a friend
All animals that we adopt out are spayed/neutered and are current on vaccinations. We do charge an adoption fee. We don't "sell" animals. The adoption fees go toward spaying, neutering, feeding, vaccinations, and other veterinary care that the animals need, and transportation costs. These dogs & cats are very valuable. All you have to do is give them love. We also feel if you give an animal away free it takes away the value of the animal. We only adopt to people who want the cat or dog to be part of the family.. If people just want a cat just for mousing we tell them to get a mousetrap. We want the dogs & cats to be part of the family. If a dog or cat is transported by air, this cost is always paid by the adopter due to the expense. As we do not know the history or breed of most of the animals we rescue, we use the AKC dog book and the CFA cat book to determine breed as well as we can. Therefore we cannot guarantee the breed is as we list it. It is at best an educated guess.
