💵🐾 $5 FRIDAY FOR PENNY 🐾💵

This sweet Beagle girl has already been through so much — but she’s still wagging her tail through it all. ❤️

Penny was found roaming with a massive inguinal hernia that required surgery last week. Yesterday, she underwent her second surgery to remove mammary masses. Despite everything, Penny remains as sweet as can be and is so deserving of comfort, healing, and love.

Her medical care is adding up quickly, and for this week’s $5 Friday, we’re asking our amazing supporters to help us cover Penny’s veterinary expenses. If just a few people donate $5, it can make a huge difference for dogs like Penny who need extensive medical care to get a second chance.

🐶 Penny is also looking for a foster home while she recovers!

🐱 KITTENS, KITTENS, & MORE KITTENS! 🍼

They’re everywhere… and we need your help! Right now, the rescue is almost completely full with kittens needing foster homes. We have:

✨ Single kittens
✨ Whole litters
✨ Spicy kittens needing socialization
✨ Sweet cuddly babies ready to grow in a home environment

Fostering helps keep kittens healthy and safe by getting them out of the stressful shelter environment where illness can spread quickly — especially for young kittens with weak immune systems.

And remember: kittens do best in pairs whenever possible! If littermates can stay together, we would love for them to go to foster together instead of as singles. 💕

If you can open your home, even temporarily, you can make a lifesaving difference.

Rufus is a 1-year-old mixed breed boy who is probably a little bit of everything — and that just adds to his charm. 🥰 We’re still getting to know Rufus and learning how he does with kids, cats, but one thing is already clear: he is full of love and personality. He is also good with dogs!❤️

Rufus is playful, affectionate, and has all the fun energy you’d expect from a young dog. He loves attention, enjoys playtime, and is always ready for an adventure. With a little guidance and continued learning, Rufus has all the potential to become an amazing companion for the right family. 🥳

From surviving a hoarding situation to finally getting the chance to just be a dog—Tex’s journey has been nothing short of incredible.

He came to us on January 16th, and with time, patience, and a whole lot of love, he has truly blossomed right before our eyes. Tex is a 3-year-old Beagle mix weighing in at a perfect 28 pounds—the ideal size for just about any home. Small enough to snuggle in your lap, but sturdy enough to keep up on walks, sniff adventures, and everyday life. He’s past the baby puppy chaos, but still young, playful, and full of personality.

He’s fully vetted and housebroken, making him ready to step right into a home of his own. Tex carries that classic Beagle charm—curious, sweet, and always wanting to be part of whatever you’re doing. ❤️

He does have an old eye injury that may affect his vision, but it doesn’t slow him down or take away from his loving spirit one bit. He’s still just a happy boy looking for his person.

Tex has lived with other dogs before, but a meet and greet is required to make sure everyone is the perfect fit. His adoption fee is 200 dollars. Now all he needs is a family to finally call his own. A soft bed, kind hands, and a place where he’s not just safe—but home. 💛

05/28/2026

Not every adoptable dog is sitting in a shelter kennel. Some are lucky enough to be in foster homes while they wait for their forever families — and fostering changes everything for them. 🏡

Dogs in foster homes get to learn what it’s like to be loved, sleep on soft beds, ride in cars, play with toys, and relax in a real home environment. Foster families also learn so much about their personalities, habits, and what kind of home they would thrive in. It helps us learn if they’re housebroken, how they do with kids or other dogs, whether they love couch cuddles, car rides, or simply being close to their people. ❤️

Many dogs truly thrive in foster care. Shy dogs gain confidence, stressed dogs finally relax, and loving dogs get the chance to show just how amazing they are outside of a kennel environment.

These dogs are STILL available for adoption and waiting for someone to choose them. Foster homes are temporary — forever homes are the goal. 🏡✨

Please take a moment to look through all of our adoptable foster dogs. Share their photos, tag a friend, and help us find the homes they deserve. One share could change a life. 🐾

Meet Jersey, also known as Callie — a gorgeous 2 year, 6 month old Newfoundland weighing 72 pounds. This sweet girl is still getting adjusted, so we are still learning more about her personality and how she does with kids, cats. What we do know already is that Callie is a gentle soul with so much love to give. She also does good with her K9 friends! 🖤

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she starts to feel safe and comfortable, her affectionate side shines through. One of her favorite things to do is give hugs, and she will gladly lean into you for comfort and love. She has the soft, calm nature Newfoundlands are known for and would thrive with a patient family willing to give her time to settle in and build confidence. 😍

Callie is looking for someone who will see past her shy side and give her the chance she deserves. With kindness, patience, and love, this big teddy bear is sure to become an incredibly loyal companion. Come meet Jersey aka Callie and see if she’s the missing piece to your family. 🏡

Meet Priah ❤️ This beautiful girl is believed to be a Great Pyrenees/Pit mix with the softest soul to match her fluffy coat. Priah came to us as a stray and, heartbreakingly, no one ever came looking for her. Whatever life she had before remains a mystery, but it’s clear this sweet girl has been through a lot and is still learning that she’s safe and loved. 🥺

Despite everything, Priah has remained incredibly gentle, kind, and loving. She has a quiet sweetness about her that makes you just want to wrap her up and promise her she’ll never be abandoned again. She’s still getting used to the world around her, so she would do best with a patient family willing to give her the time, understanding, and reassurance she deserves as she settles in and learns what a real home feels like. 💕

Priah is good with other dogs, though meet-and-greets are always recommended since she’s still adjusting. Her compatibility with cats and kids is currently unknown. At around 2 years old and 65 pounds, Priah is the perfect mix of calm companionship and gentle affection. She’s fully vetted and ready for a fresh start with someone who will finally give her the love and stability she’s been missing.

Priah’s adoption fee is $200, and she is available for foster or adoption She’s waited long enough for someone to choose her—could you be the safe place this beautiful girl has been hoping for? 🐾 🥰🏡

✨ WISHLIST WEDNESDAY! ✨
It’s that time of the week again, and our village needs a little extra help keeping up with our rescue crew. Right now, we are facing an urgent need for a few essential items to keep our kitties healthy and our facility spotless.

Here is what we are running low on this week and exactly why these items are so crucial:

🍼 Canned Kitten Paté
• Why it’s important:It is officially kitten season, and we have a lot of tiny, growing mouths to feed! Kitten paté is soft, easy for weaning babies to digest, and packed with the high-calorie nutrition they need to grow big and strong.

🧼 Cleaning Supplies (Bleach, Dawn, Trash Bags, Paper Towels)
• Why it’s important: Keeping a rescue clean isn't just about appearance—it is a matter of health and safety.

💖 How You Can Help:
If you’d like to donate, there are a few easy ways to get these supplies to us:
1. Venmo: You can send a monetary donation directly to our business profile . (Please put "Wishlist Wednesday" in the memo so we can route it right to these supplies!)

2. Online Wishlist: Prefer to ship items straight to our door? Check out our online wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2O3UC1J1P18AM?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_ggr-subnav-share_YW3TG28EA2FDDWMRSP9P&language=en-US

3. Drop-Off: You can also drop physical donations off directly at our location during regular hours.

Thank you so much to all of our amazing supporters. We truly couldn't do this life-saving work without our incredible community! 🐾❤️

🚨 PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED DOG FOR ONLY $15?! 🚨

YES — you read that right. 👏🏼
Eclipse’s adoption fee is SPONSORED, which means you can bring home this handsome, professionally trained boy for ONLY FIFTEEN DOLLARS. 💙🐾

His foster family will be going on vacation June 14, and we would LOVE for Eclipse to be in his forever home by then so he doesn’t have to return to the shelter. 🥺🏡

Meet Eclipse ✨
🐶 1 year, 7 month old Cane Corso mix
💪 Big, handsome, and incredibly smart
🎓 Professionally trained with SOS Canine Training
💲 ONLY $15 adoption fee

⭐ Eclipse’s Good Boy Highlights ⭐
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Professionally trained
✔️ Knows structure and obedience
✔️ Great with other dogs
✔️ Smart and eager to learn
✔️ Young and active
✔️ Continued training support available after adoption
✔️ Comes with his industrial-strength crate

Eclipse has come SUCH a long way. His past adoptions failed because he didn’t have the guidance, routine, and outlets a young working breed needs — but now he’s finally getting the training and structure he deserves, and he is THRIVING. 👏🏼🎉

This boy is not “too much.”
He’s just a young Cane Corso mix who needed leadership, consistency, and someone willing to understand him.
And now? He’s becoming an AMAZING dog. 🐾

Like any young dog, Eclipse still has one flaw — he cannot be left unsupervised outside of a crate. He will need an industrial-strength crate when left alone, but don’t worry… his crate will be INCLUDED with his adoption! 👏🏼💙

🏡 He will need:
• A home without cats
• Someone willing to continue his structure and routine
• A family ready for a loyal best friend 💙

Eclipse is ready for someone to finally give him the forever home he deserves. 💙

Foster Found

🚨These two tiny babies came in right at the end of the day yesterday and now they need a hero. 🍼💕

At only 3–4 weeks old, they still require bottle feeding and specialized care. One of our the amazing employees at Daviess County It Takes A Village No-Kill Rescue took them home for the night to make sure they’re safe and cared for, but we urgently need a foster who can continue caring for them until they are old enough to complete vetting.

Bottle babies are fragile and require frequent feedings, warmth, and lots of love — but helping them grow strong is incredibly rewarding. 🐾

If you are able to foster these little ones, please apply at itvrescue.org
