Meet the Crew
At Casey’s Crew Animal Rescue, we believe in sharing the stories of our own rescued animals—our ambassadors—to spread awareness about rescue, responsible pet ownership, and the incredible resilience of animals who have been given a second chance. While these animals are not available for adoption, they serve as living proof of why rescue work is so important.
Yogi
Yogi was abandoned on the side of a dangerous road, left to fend for himself. Through his microchip, we discovered that he had been pulled from a high-kill shelter under a fake name, phone number, and address—his rescuer had disappeared, leaving him once again at risk. Despite showing signs of past abuse, Yogi is the kindest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet. He has an incredible ability to read people and is great with all ages. He’s an example of how resilient and forgiving rescue dogs can be.
Mozzie & Ripley
Mozzie and Ripley are siblings from a litter of nine. Their previous owners failed to spay and neuter their dogs, leading to repeated litters they couldn’t afford to feed. Their mother, herself malnourished, had to stop nursing them at just five weeks old. When we rescued Mozzie and Ripley at 5.5 weeks, they weighed only two and three pounds. Now, Mozzie is a strong 80 pounds, and Ripley is a healthy 60 pounds. Their story is a stark reminder of why spaying and neutering pets is so critical.
Our Cats: Precious, Arthur, Biggie, Jazz, Smalls, Jules, and Lucy
Many of our cats were born in a feral colony and bottle-fed after being abandoned. Precious, Arthur, and Biggie were left to die on a hot roof, rolling toward the edge in desperation before we saved them. Now, they are thriving, full of personality. Precious loves cuddles, Arthur is obsessed with a single refrigerator magnet and straws, and Biggie is always ready for adventure. Jazz is picky with affection but a total love bug once she chooses you—she even loves showers! Smalls is a mischievous troublemaker with a secret soft side, Jules is elusive but demanding of pets on her terms, and Lucy, the runt, has asthma and requires an inhaler. Having been hand-raised since birth, she never learned to groom herself, but she is the bravest, friendliest little six-pound cat.
These cats emphasize the need for Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs. One unspayed feral cat can lead to thousands of kittens, many of whom will suffer and die without intervention. TNR prevents overpopulation and saves countless lives.
Pancakes & Maple
Pancakes and Maple are our bunnies, each with a story that highlights the misconceptions surrounding rabbit care.
Pancakes is a sassy, fearless “guard bunny” who takes on anything that enters his space. Maple, more timid, follows Pancakes everywhere. Maple was originally purchased from a breeder to be a show rabbit, but when the children lost interest, she was left in a chicken coop, exposed to extreme weather. She watched her sister die of heatstroke, yet her owners still refused to bring her inside. Tormented by their dogs, she never knew love or safety until we rescued her.
Rabbits like Pancakes and Maple remind us that rabbits are not “easy” pets for children. They require exotic vet care, proper diets of fresh hay and vegetables, and plenty of space to roam. They should never be kept in cages or housed outdoors. When cared for properly, rabbits can live 5-12 years, forming deep bonds with their families similar to that of cats and dogs.
