from my days in a cult “evangelizing the nations”...me, my mother-in-law from an arranged marriage, Zambia’s former leader President Chiluba & one of the most dangerous humans I’ve ever met, Reverend Ernest Angley. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger 😊
Your first glimpse of ‘Lobo’ Midcap. A priceless

worker rescued him from TJ. He was so sick he was near organ system failure. After 2 weeks with Dr. Paulina Ortiz he pulled through & crossed the border to his new forever home with me today. 💕🙏🏻🐕

A beautiful Sharp Shinned Hawk missed his turn (rather unusual) while chasing a possible meal and ended up in my living room. Just another Tuesday morning.
The look on my face says it all!!! . Thank you
@JaneGoodallInst
for your tireless work on behalf of this planet and its diverse inhabitants. What an honor & joy to spend time with you today. We look forward to documenting your work in Tanzania soon. 🙏💕🦍

This Canuck is thrilled to be wearing some winter-weather stuff in normally sunny SD! Such a treat!! Have you all been enjoying the rain as much as I have?! 😄🙏💦🌧☂️

My 2 newest silver-faced rescues snoozing after a nutritious breakfast. I drove to
@HumaneSocietyIC
to ask for what no one wanted, they had been there a year and a half. X-Rays showed previously broken ribs, elbows, legs. No more suffering now...just love. 💕🐶🐶
Excellent question: their ancestral home countries are ideally suited to their nutrition needs, so we must find a way to cohabitate while protecting from poaching. Botswana lost 90 elephants to poaching this weekend! We must ALL do whatever small thing we can to help.
@DagmarNBCSD
After doing your special report do you feel like there is a way to keep these poor animals safe in Africa anymore? Is that realistic at all or do we need a new location and/or solution?
What a difference!!!! He was rescued off the TJ streets early July 2021 and came to my home 5 months yesterday. It’s your time to shine little Turtle! 💕🐕
Turtle’s face and body will always carry the scars of bite wounds, most likely from having suffered as a bait dog in fighting rings. But he’s home now and will never be harmed again.
This poor lizard was struggling to free himself from duct tape at the bottom of a garbage can. Exhausted, he was losing the battle. I slowly peeled away the tape & dipped him in a cool pond then left him in a shady garden. 1 rescue before noon - how many more I can fit in today!
No good deed goes unpunished. I climbed down into a canyon (wearing flip flops - what a great idea) to collect a plastic bag containing dog waste someone else threw away. The following photos tell the story of just another Saturday evening in the Midcap household.
I met this little girl between weather hits on the 4pm news. She was struck by a car and left on the sidewalk for a week with a badly broken leg until US & Mexico Rescuers Unite brought her to me. Welcome to the pack 💕🐕
Our first night in Africa! We’re getting up at sunrise to start on the first of our two special projects! We’ll keep you posted 😊

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you annoyed your day as much as Dolly, Buster and I did!
@MonicaNBCSD
mom made special holiday bandanas for the pups 💕🐕❤️🐕😊🎄
My newest little rescue lost the battle to save her leg last Thursday (hit by a car and left on the sidewalk for a week) but she doesn’t seem to mind at all. She totally crushes on Lobo! 💕🐕
#USMexicoRescues
True to Beagle nature, this 7 month old pup is CRAZY!!! She’s one of many critters waiting for a home at the Chula Vista Animal Shelter.

The proper attire for a virtual fundraiser rehearsal in my kitchen during a mini heat wave! I’ll MC this Saturday June 6th - it’s super easy to help us help the critters

There’s a South African elephant resting her trunk comfortably on my lap on the way to her new home in Mozambique! She and the rest of the herd are under M99 sedation (similar to Valium) being monitored by wildlife vets.

Flashback to our first night in Africa...sunset in Pongola Reserve, Kwazulu Natal. Our elephant relocation project was about to begin. We’ll show you the entire adventure September 6th on
@nbcsandiego
What a difference a year makes! The ‘before’ pics were 2 weeks AFTER vet care! Lobo was plucked from a TJ dump so weak he could hardly stand. Today he pours endless love & gratitude into my world.
