Monarch Pearl Studios

Hey guys, as most of you know I have a major love for huskies and I have my own! 🐺 You also might have seen that I donate some of my work for the raffles and what they're needing right now is some donations. So I'm asking kindly if you can please consider maybe donating. A Simple $5 goes a long way; and the facility that they're talking about would help their dogs, as well as others and help keep helping dogs for the future.

So please if you can consider donating $5 today and if you do donate I'll be happy to send you a free signed print in the mail! Your choice of Cosplay your choice of photo! 😜

Anyways take care my beautiful butterflies,

Olivia P. Owner of Monarch Pearl Studio's 🦋

I just arrived at H3... now what??

Jenni D here.

Let's chat about what happens next. As I continue on my journey through the business of growing this rescue, I realize that I come across a lot of people that don't really understand how a businesses runs versus how a rescue is run. I think the biggest misconception is the foster-based model, and what people are used to seeing from rescues on social media vs. what I have done with my breed specific, site-based rescue.

The foster-based model pulls a dog out of the shelter and places him or her into into a foster home. They have all the expenses that the dogs need minus the actual facility, the employees, the sanitation needs, the maintenance, etc.

Imagine us like SPCA. We are a facility with a physical space to manage, maintain and pay for. We have mortgages, utilities, insurance, transport vehicles, transport expenses, 12 employees, over 200 dogs physically on site, nutrition and sanitation needs, supplies, and let's not forget the little thing called vet services. We have property maintenance, 2 acres that constantly need maintenance. And just imagine what 200 dogs walking around peeing and pooping on things, chewing on things, and tearing things up costs. That includes tearing walls, floors, siding and trim, and all the other things that huskies like to destroy. We have $100,000 worth of fencing on our property. Our administrative needs alone are a full-time job. We have someone that handles all our money, we have someone that handles the property, we have someone that handles our fundraising and our website, we have dog handlers, and we have pooper scoopers, people to clean their kennels, people that feed 200 dogs multiple times a day, people that work full-time away from their families, 40 hours a week to take care of these dogs.

I know it's hard to understand a rescue having a payroll. But it is literally the only way that we can care for these dogs daily. And coming at me with, "You need more volunteers." ... Well, let me just say, "Thanks, why didn't I think of that sooner?"

None of us are overpaid, none of us are underpaid. We have health insurance, and three of us live here 24/7 nonstop without days off and without breaks. We don't have time for our kids or our own dogs, and we don't even have a home because we gave it to the huskies.

I am currently trying to find my kids a place to live so I can turn this place into a hospital, and Melissa and Mike live in a motorhome on the property. We work for these dogs 24/7.

I've been pushing a lot for money to physically grow this place because the amount of dogs we can save when we have the entire facility done is mindblowing, mindblowing. The amount of money that we can save just by caring for husky medical needs on site is mindblowing. The number of homes we will be able to find for these dogs by having visitors come on site to adopt is mindblowing.

Over the past five years, H3 has rescued over 1200 huskies. We have placed 800 huskies into homes all over the country. We have been able to bring them into the facility, rehabbed them, gotten to know them, and placed them into homes ourselves. With this model, we are better equipped for emergency rescues and bigger rescue needs. We don't just want to find homes for one dog at a time. We want to save all the huskies.

I am one person though... and if I were to die tomorrow, this rescue would be closed within three months. Why do I say that? Because to run an operation this size, we need sustainable income. And right now the only thing sustaining us is me telling stories on social media, so if I'm not here to do that, H3 is going to have a very big problem.

The goal is to sustain this place without me. And It shouldn't be so reliant on me. I absolutely need a business partner, so that the lives of thousands of huskies are not in my sole hands.

We are not a foster-based model that will sit with the money you donate in our bank account and rescue one dog at a time. Our goal is to have sustainable income, so that we can constantly rescue and not have to say no to any huskies that need us.

To do that, we have to invest in their foundation. The more we do that, the more the investment grows, the more the rescue sustains, and the more security the rescue has.

What you won't see happening here is me getting a 30 day notice from some landlord that will force me how to place 250 dogs on an emergency basis, which we sometimes see in rescue. That's not how I operate. When you donate to grow this rescue, you're investing in their future, not just their now.

Any questions?

Today, a generous family of ours has offered to match up to 10k to help us grow this facility. Would you be willing to help me sustain their future?

I'll be back in a couple hours to tell you how.

Don't mind me, just my little childhood self screaming that I finally got to meet the voice of Mario himself at . I knew I had to wear my bridal Peach from Super Mario Odyssey! Thank you for taking a photo with me! Made my day! 🍑👑🍄

Haven't been to a con in awhile but I'll be at with my brother! Looking forward to having some fun!

Today is 's 30th Anniversary to my favorite game in the franchise. FF6. Terra Bradford has been my favorite for a long time.
Since today is the anniversary I thought I will share with all of you how I came to love this game. Originally the game was my cousin's and my brother and I inherited the GameBoy with this game. Now I was a little bit too little to understand the game still, but, my brother was old enough that he was able to play it and I was able to watch him. Within this game you're able to name the characters if you wanted too. He would always name me as Terras character. For the longest time we couldn't defeat the game and it wasn't until I was old enough that I was able to play it through myself that I fell in love with the game and the character Terra as well. I guess my brother could predict the future in a way because even though I am not Terra I became Terra for a convention with Friends.

Firstly I'm very jealous of those who get to play the game today because, I don't have a PS5 😭
Secondly be on the lookout for no good backstabbers. 🗡️ I hear they hurt. 🙄

Newest commission finish. Anastasia from the Broadway musical for my lovely client. This costume was a true labor of love. At first I thought I was going to be able to glue the gemstones but the glue was just not working so I had to hand stitch all the gemstones onto the bodice. Nonetheless I think this is one of my favorite commissions I have done to date. 💕

I don't have official photos yet but I wanted to show you my Shadow Queen Peach. I really loved wearing it for one of the reasons being that little girls and their mothers came up to me and the little girls told me how they were going to be Princess Peach for Halloween and I thought that was super cute 🥺💕

Hello everyone I'm excited to share that I am partnering with Husky Halfway House .

I made a sunflower table runner that you have a chance to win as well as many other prizes just by answering their raffle and all the donations goes towards their organization to help Huskies in need.

Why huskies? 🐺 Well as some of you know I have two Huskies of my own and I'm just obsessed with them I think they're the cutest things. 🥰 And I also believe any chance of kindness that we can do we should take advantage of it and do it.

All of you have been kind and supportive of me over the years so I hope that you guys will show the same kindness and support to her and enter the raffle! First thing maybe you don't want the 🌻sunflower tablerunner🌻 for yourself you can always gift it to your mother, friend, or wife.

I think you again for all your support,

Forever a friend,

Olivia pelletier,
owner of Monarch Pearl Studios 🦋
