This is a very dedicated undertaking and
I applaud you and your friends. The 503c rescue I work with, Panhandle Animal Lovers, Crestview, Fl. (you can check them out at
www.PAL2006.petfinder.com,) has gotten at least 4 REALLY
fine Yorkies in the last few weeks. Thankfully each has either been adopted forever or (2) are in great foster homes which will probably turn permanent. We have one traumitized 2 year old female that constantly 'dribbles'. We are taking every approach to find a cause.
To others reading this comment: Every
$ donated counts when you consider these rough figure:
$5 can vaccinate for rabies through a participating Vet
$10 buys 15 # of healthy food and will feed 5 dogs for about 20 days,
$35 buys liquid oral heart worm meds to treat 5 dogs for 12 months or
more when administered by facility volunteers.
So, again, every
$ counts.
I wish you all great things. Life is about to change for you and your charges.
Hopefully you will attract an obedience trainer willing to spend a few precious hours each week helping your rescues cope with their new environment. I can' tell you how great I feel when I can calm an abused, frightened and overly anxious dog and help him accept his new surroundings.
I am the one blessed when that happens!
Thank you so much and all the best to you.
