at rise and shine we believe in...

The underdogs, the seniors and the poor sweet mamas with too many babies,

The tired, the scared and the overlooked,

Fresh starts and second chances,

Making tough calls and miracles happen,

Creating safe spaces, hope for the future and perfect matches,

Building bridges and doghouses filled with warm straw in winter,

Raising the standards and kind children and roofs in the rain,

Putting our hearts out there and bringing “outside” dogs in,

Finding solutions, new ways of thinking and changing perceptions,

Lifting each other up when things get hard,

Offering soft places to land and comfy dog beds piled high with blankets,

Savoring the wins, the freedom rides and the companionship of grateful dogs.
