Busy week....The dogs who were slated to go to Georgia Canine Rescue and
Rehab (the abandoned GSD in the back yard, the 10 week old pup and the coated
pup in the kill shelter) have had changes in plans.
Rose, the lovely girl who was left in the back yard when her owners moved
away seems to have vanished. When Heather contacted the "owner" of this dog to
obtain a legal release allowing her to be placed for adoption with GCRR, she
suddenly disappeared. Flyers have been posted and shelters contacted, but I
sadly suspect he sold her outright. She was still intact and heaven knows what
her life will be now.
The 10 week old pup who was dropped at a kill shelter was rescued by none
other than Heathers Mom, who has decided to keep this waif! Score one for the
good guys!
The coated pup in the kill shelter was adopted at the 11th hour!! Kaylene
there works hard to save as many as she can!
Cooper who was set to be euthanized last Thursday is in a vet boarding clinic
in NC. He is waiting for transport to foster in South Carolina with Julie.As
of today, his bill is 82$ and rising, so we need to get him out! I have
contacted AnywherePetsGo.com who is donating his transport! A HUGE thank you to
them!
Rocko is now at Kristis...is there is ANYONE out there who would like to
give safe haven to this great guy, PLEASE CONTACT HER. He is 10, great with
kids it seems and intact. He does have a suspicious mass on his stomach, but
Connie has 150$ toward medical costs for him. Lets try and find this guy a
soft couch to spend his last days on...please!
Along with Rocko is Murphy who seems to have a home with Wanda...you might
remember her as the lady who helped pay for his board and bath and drove him
to meet his transport? She has been miserable since he has been gone and now
would like to offer him a forever home...
Titus a beautiful GSD from a Georgia gassing shelter, rescued by our group on
his last day to be in this world has been renamed Alex and has a forever home
with Terry . Thank you to those of you have donated to this effort . There are
many who are alive to day because of you.
Now for business:
In July I received donations totaling 640$...both from check and paypal
donations.
There were 420$ in payments for boarding, pull fees, HW testing and
vaccinations, gas for transport, and food. This leaves a total of 220$ in July.
I will do another financial update at the end of August via this list.
This is a test case at this time..without a consistent flow of money this
venture will fade away like the wild buffalo. My best estimate is that at
least 1,000$ a month is required to make any kind of significant difference.
While I am deeply grateful to those of you who sent large donations, if
everyone could find it in their heart to send the 2$ I mentioned in the
beginning, there would be no burden on any one person to carry the weight.
I want to make it clear at this time that this is NOT a rescue...we are
only trying to assist dogs labled urgent; (aka ..due to be euthanized) by
offering assistance with pull fees, vet fees, boarding and transport; thereby
helping to close the gap in an emergency between the shelters and the rescues.
When they these dogs arrive at the recieving Rescue, further funding from
the AGSRA will then be available to provide for their continued care.
I thank the moderators of this list for allowing us to continue to post
those who society has forgotten...you are truly making a difference....one dog
at a time!
