Our group started in 2019 because our founding member, Willadean Jackson, was upset when she saw the terrible living conditions at the Macon City Shelter (basically a dog pound). She reached out to others on Facebook and we created a non-profit to assist animals in Macon County Missouri (in the small town shelters and in the very rural areas). Since then, we have been helping animals in neighboring Shelby County as well because there's no humane society in our two counties. We are basically in "no man's land" when it comes to getting assistance for animals in need. Our goal at first was to build a shelter, but we could see that would cost more money than we fundraise. In the past 5 years we have grown greatly in numbers, numbers of members and animals saved. We, like most rescues, we are overwhelmed by the number of emails, messages, and calls we get from people needing our services. Now our main goal is to provide spay/neuter services for our community and try to slow down the pet population. We have been blessed to have several large donations to help provide free spay/neuter surgeries. We have also worked with the city of Macon to improve the conditions of the shelter. Now it's a much better place for a dog to find itself than it was years ago. It hasn't been easy getting to where we are now. We have had members come and go, but right now we have a great group of people that truly go out of their way to help the animals in our area.

Our adoption fees are $200. We have adopters sign a contract.
