URGENT NEED
-703661.jpg)
we have a need of help.
I got a call yesterday from a good Samaratin in the metro area.
It seems that she is one of those especially great people who go out and feed colonies of feral cats.
yesterday she was feeding her colony and saw a dog lying on the side of the road. she went to it and got it. someone saw her and told her that they saw someone throw it from the car.
the dog is a dauchaund mix and appears to be very pregnant and has a broken leg.
the dog needs immediate medical care and our moneys are low.
When we had our fundraiser, we raised money to go towards our past due medical/vet bills, but it didn't cover all we owed and the day to day operations of the shelter don't stop. Donations have been slow and we are out of money. so. not only are we searching of ways to tend to our current residents, we need to step to the plate for this young (appears to be under a year) mother.
if you can, please help us help this dog, and let others know of our need. any donation is appreciated, no matter the amount, donations can be made through paypal, or mailed to our address on the webpage.
we and thank you very much for your support
a note from a fellow rescuer
I was sent this tonight by a person in local animal rescue that I truly admire. she is a true hero and goes the extra mile for all her rescues.
NOTE TO ADOPTERS:
Note to adopters: Lassie and Cleo and Rin Tin Tin and Toto don't show up in rescue. We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved dog. We get the leftovers. Dogs that other people have incompetently bred, inadequately socialized, ineffectively "trained," and badly treated. Most Rescue dogs have had it. They've been pushed from one lousy situation to another. They've never had proper veterinary care, kind and consistent training, or sufficient company. They've lived outside, in a crate, or in the basement. They're scared, depressed and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up. But we are Rescue and we don't give up. We never give up on a dog. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They are part of sacred creation and they deserve as much love and care and respect as the next Westminster champion. So please, please don't come to rescue in the hopes of getting a "bargain," or indeed of "getting" anything. Come to Rescue to give, to love, to save a life -- and to mend your own spirit. For Rescue will reward you in ways you never thought possible. I can promise you this -- a rescue dog will make you a better person.
