WE NEED YOUR HELP!

 

We're honored to be able to say we've saved over 11,000 lives and counting since the start of our operations. But right now we're in trouble and WE NEED YOUR HELP! Costs of operations have increased and we won't be able to sustain them without a major increase to our funding. We've expanded capacity and are taking in more dogs than ever and our funds are DEPLETED.

 

As a nonprofit working with such a large number of animals we have certain risks that come along with our day to day. We know that rescue animals have an unknown history and THAT'S WHY WE LOVE THEM! But not everyone does - we get that. All that's to say - WE NEED TO GET NEW INSURANCE. And it's going to cost us at least $10,000. We simply don't have that amount of money. We're hoping that's where YOU come in. It's a lot of money, we know! But we need it to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. This is a VITAL part of our operation and we can't SAVE LIVES without it. Literally we can not operate without insurance. And if we can't pay for it, we will get shut down.

 

This week alone we're planning to bring in 20+ dogs in need of forever homes. Where will those dogs go if we don't exist anymore? WE'RE DESPERATE. These dogs will stay in their high-kill shelters in the south where they will be KILLED. The lives we save are spared sometimes by MINUTES before the doctors arrive with their drugs and their needles for euthanasia. We are the only option for so many dogs out there!

 

And right now especially it's so important that we stay open and operational. The rescue world has never been so overwhelmed by the number of dogs in the system. Post-pandemic times have inundated EVERY rescue, EVERY shelter, EVERY foster home with more dogs than there is space. We are all asking for help. No - BEGGING for help. Times are dark and they are sad. The numbers of euthanasia just for space in all the kill shelters right now would shock you. If you saw the pictures and knew the names (for the ones who get to have names), they would haunt you. We are all losing sleep, working 12+ hour days, volunteering on our days off, doing whatever we can to keep dogs alive. And still it's not enough.

 

Saved Me alone has 60-70 dogs in our care at any given time. We adopt out at least 50 dogs per month. Can you imagine what the numbers would look like if we got shut down and those dogs had nowhere else to go? PLEASE HELP US!

Louie (FKA Loki) came to us from Kentucky in mid 2020 and has been cozying up with his foster mom for some time now while we work on helping his heart get better. Sadly, he was born with a heart murmur that is not getting better. Many puppies grow out of their murmurs and go on to live long happy lives. Louie did not. His murmur is getting progressively worse and at only 1 year old he now needs heart surgery. He has been on medication that isn't helping. The right side of his heart is showing severe enlargement and is working too hard to keep his little body going. Usually when we say that a dog has a huge heart, we mean it in a good way. But this time, parts of Louie's heart are a little TOO big and we need to help him out. 


Louie is scheduled for balloon valvuloplasty surgery which will create a pathway through the thickened walls of his poor little heart. His heart is working overtime right now to push blood through his body and keep him moving. Without this surgery he is at risk for developing an intolerance to exercise, fainting and congestive heart failure. 

If you can help us to cover Louie's medical cost in any way, we'd be extremely grateful. Please share this fundraiser and help us save Louie.


We save lives because of you.

Please help! Saved Me needs help raising funds for a new play yard called Bark Park to benefit all the dogs in our care. We opened a fantastic new facility in Grays Ferry in February 2019 but the only thing missing is outdoor space for our pups to exercise and play together. We were lucky enough to secure space in a vacant lot in the area but need help raising funds to make it suitable for our dogs! We will need a new fence to ensure the space is secure. We are also looking to add new grass, enrichment items and a water feature for those extra hot days. Every dollar donated will directly benefit the dogs of Saved Me.

Jeffrey and Jermaine, our famous Lab-pit bull mixes 
 were found on the street in Philadelphia on October 5, 2013 as puppies. After being brought to Saved Me the staff and volunteers noticed the inseparable relationship between the brothers.

That's because Jeffrey is blind, and Jermaine acts as his seeing eye dog. 

"They're always pretty much touching each other," Ray Little, Director of Life Saving at Saved Me told NBC.

The bond between these boys showed us and the rest of the state what Philly has always been about: Brotherly Love! 

After raising almost $5,500 over the past year, the time has come again to ask for your help! We need $2,100 to complete the fundraising for a Brotherly Love Treatment Center in honor of these incredible companions. This center will allow sick and recovering animals to feel the comfort Jermaine and Jeffery feel when they are together. It will provide homeless animals with top notch medical care and recovery. Once they are all better, they have a chance to find an amazing furever family like Jeffery and Jermaine!

Above is the future site of the Brotherly Love Treatment Center!

We want to send out all our lovem, thoughts, and support to Jeffrey as he has been diagnosed by multiple specialists with an end-stage, painful disease (glaucoma).

Thanks to our incredible adopters, our center has a lot of empty kennels right now! We love empty kennels but we love to fill them even more! Thanks to our friends at Animal Aid USA, we are hoping to bring 35 dogs (including 22 puppies!) into the shelter this weekend. To do so, we need to raise $165 for each one of them to cover the cost of caring for them.

If everybody who sees this donates even a small amount (i.e $20 or even $10) we will hit our goal in no time. 

These dogs are desperate to live! Please consider a donation and share with your friends. Their precious lives are at stake and if we can't raise enough money, the dogs will be euthanized, without even getting a chance at their furever home.
