HAPPENINGS AT HEADQUARTERS |
|
|
This month weβre loading up the van and embarking on our Autumn Leaves & Wagging Tails Roadtrip!
|
|
|
|
|
September 12-14th weβre heading out from Fargo, ND to Albany, NY, delivering adopted pets to their forever homesβand we want YOU to ride along (virtually)!
π² Tune into our Facebook page throughout the day as we go LIVE from the road!
Weβll be sharing all the behind-the-scenes momentsβ π Potty breaks (yes, for the pups!) π‘ Heartwarming adoption drop-offs π₯€ Fun pit stops and updates from the highway
These roadtrips are some of our favorite moments of the yearβnot just because theyβre full of wagging tails and new beginnings, but because they help us get more animals into loving homes, even outside our home base in North Dakota.
πΎ Why do we roadtrip? Because every mile matters. These transport journeys allow us to connect pets with families across the country who might not otherwise have the chance to adopt from TMAR.
βοΈ Not along the route? Not in North Dakota? No problem! We also offer a Flight Angels program through our amazing partners at SWATT, which helps us fly animals to their adopters when ground transport isnβt an option.
So wherever you are, if youβre looking to adopt, we can make it happen. Checkout the following video about our Flight Angel program, and how it began here.

Speaking of Flight Angelsβ¦
A High-Flying Success Story!
We couldnβt be more grateful for incredible volunteers like Flight Angel Carol Frittsβa seasoned traveler with a heart of gold and a mission in her carry-on.
Carol has truly mastered the art of animal transport. As she journeys back and forth from her travels to her home in Baltimore, she keeps a close eye on the pets in need of a liftβand makes magic happen for animals across the country through our partnership with SWATT.

Most recently?
Lucky pup Tostitos scored a first-class ticket (okay, maybe economyβbut with 5-star care!) from Minneapolis (MSP) to Baltimore (BWI) with Carol as his personal Flight Angel.
π Tostitos' Journey
Tostitos, along with his two brothers Nacho and Doritos, and their parents, were all surrendered after their previous family faced eviction. It was a heartbreaking situation, but thanks to our incredible network and volunteers like Carol, their story took a hopeful turn.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today, Tostitos is thriving in his forever home in Philadelphia.
Carol, thank you for staying connected, staying committed, and helping these furry friends land safely into the arms of their new families. You're truly a lifeline.

HOW TO ADOPT Β
Our rescue is volunteer-based. We rely heavily on our fosters. Most of our animals are adopted out of foster homes. Β Currently most of our fosters are in the Fargo and Grand Forks area of North Dakota.
We highly encourage you to apply NOW
so you can be pre-approved for future TMAR animals!

Live from the Road: Keith & Jughead!
Did you catch the live video with Keith and Jughead?
|
|
|
|
|
On their way back from an adoption event, they pulled over to go liveβand itβs a must-watch moment full of heart and humor.
While chatting, Keith shared a hilarious story about Jugheadβs newest obsession: chasing bees. ππ
Apparently, at the event, Jughead had the time of his life trying to keep up with anything that flew by. Oh, Jugheadβyou silly boy!
This big, handsome guy is still waiting for his forever home, and we canβt believe he hasnβt been scooped up yet.
Jughead is:
Deeply loyal and bonds hard with his people
Best as the only petβhe wants all the love to himself
-
Not a fan of felines, so a cat-free home is ideal
If youβre looking for a goofy, affectionate best friend whoβll make every day brighter, Jughead might just be your soulmate.
And if you spotted Keithβs βFeralβ shirt in the videoβgood eye! You can grab one of your own in our shop, with proceeds supporting pups like Jughead on their journey home. Check it out below in our featured merch section!
π Watch the live, meet Jughead, and snag your very own βFeralβ tee:

Seen in our recent live video with Keith and Jughead, the "Feral" baseball tee is more than just a cool shirtβitβs a tribute to the wild ones we love and the people who fight for them.
