This is a photo of one of over 200 chickens living in horrid filth and living conditions.  They were eventually surrendered and we adopted them out to a number of farms, where their lives were much improved and they were able to live healthy lives in the fresh air.


We also assisted two health departments in dealing with cases where the owners were sadly showing early signs of dementia.  We were able in those instances to work with neighbors, 4H club members, and our team to put together a plan for long term assistance to the owners and their animals.


Without your support, these types of engagements would not be possible.  Thanks again for your interest and support of our work.  It is greatly appreciated.

Over 4,000 homes were destroyed or damaged in the wake of these unprecedented series of storms.  Our task was to search through the piles of rubble and torn apart buildings looking for cats, dogs and/or other surviving animal, providing triage as necessary and then transporting them safely to rescue facilities.

HOARDING RESCUES
In regards to our work with law enforcement and health departments this year we had several cases where we assisted in the rescue of animals in hoarding situations including one where there were a large number of poultry as well as livestock rescued.

Joplin’s after eight years of successfully operating both  a single location sanctuary and animal rescue non-profit (501c3) has made a transition to a new operational model.  We have closed down the single location sanctuary while successfully moving all the animals in our care to new loving adoptive homes or to other sanctuaries that we are aligned with.

In April, May and July we responded to a number of tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee, Illinois, and other Midwest states.  We performed technical search and rescue endeavors to find, rescue and transport affected animals to temporary shelters and/or back to their rightful owners.

​​​

In 2023 we fortunately had a fairly quiet year in regard to wildfires.  We unfortunately though had a severe fire near Medical Lake, WA which burned over 200 structures, and resulted in the rescue of 22 animals that had a variety of burns on their feet and hair/fur.  Fortunately each of the animals survived with just minor scarring and long term affects.  They were in our care for an average of four months receiving veterinary care and rehabilitation treatments.

We had other wildfire deployments in Oregon and Northern California which required our assistance in Level 3 evacuations, but we did not have to shelter or temporarily foster any other animals this year.
