Operation Earthquake

Help save the dogs of Puerto Rico from the earthquakes

My name is Emma and I am 9 years old.  I really need your help.  Puerto Rico has had some really bad earthquakes and they are going to be getting even more over the next few months.  People are leaving the island, andleaving their dogs behind.  People’s houses are being ruined and they are sleeping in tents or their cars and they are just leaving their dogs alone to die.  Before this, there were really bad things happening with the dogs in Puerto Rico, and now this is going to make it even worse for them.  I wish I could get a job and save all of my money to help, but Im only 9.  I need to ask for everyone’s help.  

Puerto Rico is very special to me.  We adopted 3 special needs dogs from Puerto Rico over the last year.  Their names are Momo, Mita and Bear.  They all had a really hard life in Puerto Rico.  Momo was left behind during Hurricane Maria, and he lost his eye.  He had to live all by himself for a while until he was finally rescued.  Mita was just a baby when some really bad people put acid all over her and her brothers and sisters and burned them really badly.  They were all killed, except Mita lived.  She had burns all over her body, and they had to amputate her leg.  Bear was found in the mountains after a really bad person hit him with a metal pipe and broke his jaw in half and shattered it.  His bottom jaw had to be removed and he still has a hole in the roof of his mouth.  My dogs are the most sweetest and loving and awesome dogs I have ever known.  They changed my whole life.  Now it’s my turn to help their rescuers in Puerto Rico, who have become my family.  I need to help get more dogs off ofthe island to a safer place.  To a home where they will be loved and deserve such a better life.  Their land is collapsing underneath them into the earth and they are really scared.  They have been deserted by their families and left to die alone.  Please please please help me raise some money to help pay for their flights and vet expenses to get them from Puerto Rico to our awesome rescue Great Dog Rescue New England.  They will take such good care of them, and will love them until they find awesome homes for them.  Please help any way you can.  Even if it’s just $1.  Every little bit will help.  These dogs deserve so much more than what they are dealing with.  See the pictures of Momo, Mita and Bear from when they were first found, and now

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Emma, Momo, Mita and Bear
