Rescue Stories
Fiona
Fiona came to us very emaciated after being dumped by Fellows Lake. Despite her starvation, Fiona was a very sweet dog, with a pleasant temperament toward people. Fiona was in no shape to be adopted out, but thanks to the many generous donors who contributed supplies and medical care, she regained her proper weight and we could begin the process of finding her a forever home. Months later she found the perfect home. Finally, she is a happy dog and has a human who loves her.
Harlow
Sweet Harlow was found after being shot point blank in the head. She was rushed to the vet where she had to have surgery to remove her eye and bone fragments from her jaw. She bounced back in no time and found her forever home!
Hervil
Hervil was found in the woods by hikers. He had been shot in the head, so they immediately contacted Rescue One for help. The bullet was lodged in his nasal cavity and had to be surgically removed. After a couple of months of healing, he found a wonderful forever home!
Ingrid
When Ingrid was rescued, she was in terrible shape. She had an injury to her mouth that was very infected, as well as infected ears and skin. She was also over 20 lbs underweight. She appeared to have given up hope. Over the next several months and with aggressive treatment, she began to blossom! While her muzzle is permanently disfigured, she found her forever home and is very loved!
Jetta
Jetta came to Rescue One with 7 other dogs. She was only a couple of months old, and had a terrible injury to her nose and severe mange. She had to have surgery to be able to breathe out of her nose, and it healed wonderfully! Her skin healed as well, and shortly after that she found her forever home!
Lindy
Lindy was spotted by someone driving down the road; they could see her ribs from their car. She had a massive tumor on her back left leg that totally encased her foot. Dr. Katie Loula of Christian County vet clinic removed the 2½ lb. tumor, plus a couple of toes. In no time at all, Lindy was walking around without any issues. The hair has all grown back and you can’t even tell that she’s missing a few toes. She put on 15 pounds on in one month, making those ribs disappear. She was adopted by a family with children and now is living the dream in a suburb of Denver with a family that loves her very much!
Morgan
One of our volunteers shared Morgan’s story. She had been in a shelter in rural Arkansas for over 4 years. After seeing her face, we could not turn away from helping her. Our volunteers drove the 3 hours to get her, and after being in our care for 3 months, she found her forever home!
Topher
Topher was found after being dumped in the trash. His stomach was very enlarged, and several liters of fluid had to be drained from his stomach. He was sent to the MU Vet Hospital where he was diagnosed with Cor Triatriatum Dexter, which is a very rare birth defect. He had corrective surgery and is looking forward to living long and happy life!
Zander
Zander was rescued in Stone County. It would have been impossible to count all of the punctures on his poor body. Some of his teeth had been pulled, which is not uncommon in bait dogs. He also had a fractured scapula and broken ribs. He was hospitalized for over a week and was unable to get up for 5 days. After several months of rest and love, he recovered! He is a wonderful, loving dog.

Want to make a difference today?
Every second matters when an animal needs a blood transfusion… and right now, it’s always a scramble.
We find ourselves trying to piece things together and calling other clinics hoping they have time. But “hoping” isn’t always good enough when a life is on the line.
A syringe pump would allow us to safely and precisely administer blood transfusions, something that can quite literally be the difference between life and death. It’s not a luxury. It’s a critical tool we should already have on hand.
If just 180 people donate $5, we can purchase a syringe pump and be ready the next time a pet needs us… because there will be a next time.
If you’ve ever wondered how your $5 can make a real, tangible difference, this is it.
Here is how you can donate:
Venmo: rescueonespringfield (no underscore at the end. Last four of phone number is 7694.
Paypal: rescueonespringfield@gmail.com
Online: secure.qgiv.com/for/rescueone
We appreciate your support in helping us better the lives of animals in our community!

Update- has pending applications!
Resilience doesn’t always look loud or dramatic. Sometimes it looks like a gentle Golden Retriever who’s still learning that life can be safe, kind, and full of love.
I'm Meisha and at seven years old and about 81 pounds, I’m a beautiful Golden Retriever who has already lived quite a story. For many years I was a breeder dog, and I may even have spent time in the show ring too. Now I’m starting a brand-new chapter—one where I get to discover what it truly means to be someone’s beloved companion. I am house broken, don't need a crate and do well on a leash. One thing you should know about me is that I really love being close to my people. After everything I’ve been through, being near you makes me feel safe. I can be a little anxious sometimes, but that just means I appreciate reassurance and gentle companionship. My heart is incredibly sweet, and I bond deeply with the people who care for me. I do well with other dogs, and I’d really enjoy a home with a fenced yard where I can stretch my legs and feel secure. My favorite part of the entire day is food time! The moment I realize breakfast or dinner is on the way, I can’t help myself—I spin and spin and spin in excited little circles. It’s my happy dance, and it makes everyone laugh. Because of my past, I often like to carry a toy in my mouth. It’s a comfort thing for me, something that helps me feel calm and secure. I also enjoy car rides. My past may have been a little rough, but it also made me strong in the quietest, most beautiful way. I’m a resilient soul—sweet, loyal, and ready for the kind of life every dog deserves.
My adoption fee is $75 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip! If you're interested in meeting/adopting me, please visit www.rescueonespringfield.com/our-adoption-process/adoption-application/ and fill out the form!
