Due to severe health issues, Dawn Restuccia must step down from her position as President of Last Hope, Safe Haven Inc. 501(c)3, a financial bridge Organization that provides approved rescues with the necessary funding to facilitate saving and rehoming German Shepherd Dogs facing critical situations nationwide. Since Dawn founded the organization in 2007, over 500 German Shepherds have been saved and gone on to lead full and happy lives. We desperately do not want to see Last Hope close its doors; there are too many German Shepherds who will need help in the days, months and years to come. If there is anyone out there who is willing to take over the reins of Last Hope, please contact Dawn ASAP. As there is no physical rescue involved, it is simply a matter of networking with shelters, rescues and veterinarians. Dawn is able and more than willing to stay on as an advisor to help in the transition and can also assist in such everyday tasks as writing thank-you letters for donations. Who ever does take over may choose their own Board of Directors and develop their own fundraising program. PLEASE ⦠someone do this for the dogs. Dawnâs email address is _windwych@yahoo.com_ (mailto:windwych@xxxxxxxxx) and, if you contact me privately, I will give you her telephone contact information. As long as we can get a commitment from someone to take over sometime in the next few months, we will not have to close the doors in December. Again, itâs for the dogs - please help if you can.
