Save Dogs in Need: Support Our Rescue Efforts
Tax deductible
Friends, we feel as if we’re at a crossroad. So many dogs in need, yet so few fosters, donations, and adopters. We know things have changed for much of society, and we are trying to adjust to save more dogs. But we can’t do it without fosters and donations. We continue to receive hundreds of requests per week from shelters, good Samaritans that have found strays, and owner surrenders. Our volunteers are taxed, deflated, and saddened by the sheer number of dogs in need.
We need to start addressing the other issues that are contributing to the homeless and displaced dog crisis: lack of spay and neuter policies, no government oversight on backyard breeders, and lack of knowledge on Great Pyrenees and other Livestock Guardian breeds, to name a few. But until then, we will continue to seek fosters and donators to help us pull more dogs from shelters. We had always been working towards having multiple programs to meet the need, but we are now just reduced to the bare bones. Just hoping to pull just ONE more dog from a short and miserable stay in a shelter before they are euthanized. Then another. Then another.
We could use your help. Your donation will help us care for the dogs already in the rescue and the ones we can pull from the shelters when we do have available fosters. We have long-term seniors and behavioral dogs and need to provide food for foster families, medical care including spays, neuters, vaccines, heartworm preventative, and much more.
We cannot do this without generous donors like you and people who selflessly give their home and time to foster a dog in need. Thank you for your continued support!
