2025 was a big year for MCR.  In July, we made the long journey east, back to where we began.  Not wanting to believe Thomas Wolfe, we decided we could ‘go home again’.  We worked hard for 13 years and saved thousands of lives in a state where we were really needed.  So coming back wasn’t easy on many levels. But we’re here now, starting from scratch.  No donations of the things we use huge quantities of like food and towels and sheets and blankets and cleaning supplies and bags. In California, we were surrounded by wonderful volunteers who helped clean and feed and offer support daily. Everyone is missed.

In December, we lost our invaluable friend Rachel so we’re trying to find someone to buy Meade Canine Rescue resale in Atascadero.  It’s mighty cold in New England. The dogs have adjusted well and I enjoy the seasons. The snow brings a certain tranquility and stillness that’s welcomed.

We’ll  be transporting dogs from California periodically as we can’t ever forget. Hopefully, we’ll have more adoptions and things will pick up in that department but unfortunately vet costs have skyrocketed, causing many to rethink dog ownership. We hope everyone stays in touch and new people join forces. Please feel free to contact me at 4dots@att.net.
