Thanks for supporting rescue and being part of this journey 🪽

This is where the journey begins 🦜💛

People often see the big rescue moments, but the real story is the quiet work in between. Feeding, cleaning, healing, and building trust one small step at a time.

Those quiet victories are what make rescue life worth it 🪽
