When complete different people meet over an unpleasant incident, experiencing a lot of frustration, pain and grief, someone would not call this a good thing. but when this turns into energy & is put into collective brainstorming in order of what to do to help to better things for all, that is a start! Maybe a good one!
And so after years of working silently next to each other, we grew closer together, to help and support each other, to fill the gaps, gather things needed, for the benefit of what we all together love the most
the animals in need within our community!
Even tho we started officially in fall 2025, every single one of us started years ago directly after moving into the area.
You cannot escape, maybe temporarily to take a breather, but just until the next incident that needs your attention.
So we met finally in Lodge Grass, MT after we all had our fair share already in this matter of animal welfare in the region.
Being within the community you see things a little different, you start seeing not just the animals but also the owners,
the ones that are good caretakers, the ones that love their animals but cannot live up to their needs because of simply
being financially disabled in an area without enough jobs or for some not even sufficient housing.
So some of us started to support simply with the distribution of free or low cost dog food, or picking up strays, haul
puppies to the next local rescue and so on. And slowly it started to get better. Less packs of roaming hungry dogs,
better and open communication to the owners regarding spay/neuter, vaccine etc. Once realized there is help that
is not asking or judging the things started to take off.
After years of doing this as private persons some realized the personal financial bleeding is getting worse and the impact still
won't be enough for the community animals, but it sure started to have negative impact on our personal rescue animals at home.
That was the reason to set up a 501(c)(3) and actively searching for help and support from the outside, next to some wonderful
local donors we already have, always stepping up in emergencies or with dogfood donations. If you wonder why 'Good Luck Road',
it is a very remote connection road between two HWYs in Lodge Grass, where many dogs, even whole litters, have been found.
If you look at our Storyboard here, it is far from being complete. So check back in to catch up with the beginnings.
The dog in the background is Tripod aka Raindrop. He left us. I leave him this monument and a daily teardrop!
Thank you for your time!
