🌿 Perennials for Paws! 🌿

One of our amazing volunteers ( Back Roads Pups ) is selling beautiful perennial plants to benefit our rescue! All proceeds go directly toward vetting and care for the dogs we help. 💕🐾

Here’s what’s available:

🌸 Lilyturf (Liriope) – A tough, grass-like perennial with purple or white flower spikes. Perfect for borders, groundcover, or erosion control. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance!

🌷 Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis) – One of the first blooms of the year! These evergreen beauties thrive in the shade with their elegant, cup-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring.

🌺 Surprise Lilies (Lycoris) – Tall, elegant blooms that pop up in late summer after the foliage fades—earning their “surprise” name! Deer-resistant and pollinator-friendly.

🤍 Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) – Fragrant, delicate, bell-shaped flowers that thrive in partial shade and spread beautifully as groundcover.

🌵 Yucca – A striking, drought-tolerant plant with sword-like leaves and tall spikes of white flowers. Hardy, architectural, and perfect for sunny spots.

🌼 Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) – A hardy hibiscus shrub that blooms all summer long with large, showy flowers. Great for borders or hedges!

✨ These plants are easy to grow, beautiful year after year, and support a great cause!

Kendall’s time with us was far too short, but he knew love until his last breath.

He lost his brief but fierce battle with what appeared to be a bone marrow disorder. His immune system was attacking his red blood cells, leaving him critically anemic. At first, he responded well to high doses of prednisone and antibiotics, and for a while, we had hope. But exactly two weeks later, Kendall crashed.

Last night, he enjoyed a big homemade dinner, took his meds, and went to bed like usual. But by morning, everything had changed. He had vomited, was too weak to walk, and his heart rate had skyrocketed to 172. His breathing had become labored, and we knew it was time to let him go peacefully.

Kendall’s life before us was cruel. He came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in outdoor pens and beaten apart with wooden boards when fights broke out. That trauma never fully left him, but despite it all, he was the sweetest boy. The photo with his swollen eye was taken the day after we brought him home—just one of many signs that he had never received the care he deserved. But with us, that changed. He healed, he thrived, and he was happy. Until today.

Run free, Kendall Bendall Dog. You were so loved, little buddy. We wish we had more time.
