Remember my pity party??
 

The other day I posted my own little pity party post about how the rescue groups keep disqualifying me for fostering?? Well someone pm'd me and pretty much said..if it wont come to you..go to it!!

Well I posted a few ads in local online papers about how I was willing to help people rehome dogs that they could no longer care for and start my own small at home rescue in hopes of it growing into something special.

I got my first phone call tonight..someone needs a home for a 3 month old german shepard mix. I told him to give me time to think about it, call a vet to get the pup checked out before bringing it around my other dogs and go from there.

Tonight I made myself a little website and am working on a contract also. I have contacted a few rescue groups to see what else I need to get done...and there is TONS to learn but I AM going to do it..one dog at a time!!

Please take a look at my website and see what you think..what could I add...etc..

I need to contact a vet who will hopefully give me a good rate on spay/neuters so the dogs can go to new homes with responsible owners.

Take a peek at my site...im tickled to be starting even if its going to take time to get it started right!!

Thanks,

Dawn, I think this wonderful what you are trying to do. My prayers will right there with you.;)

Hi Dawn, by any chance did you leave a comment on my site? My site address is below. The name left was Dawn also. Now I came across this post and wondered if it was you?? If it was you and you want some help with your site still just message me. My email address is on my homepage and you'd probably reach me faster by using it. If you like I could put your site address in my link section. Hopefully it could help people find you ;) Just a thought!! Good Luck with everything that your doing. I truly think its wonderful :D

:thumbup: :thumbup: Good thinking, Dawn!!! You are doing an admirable thing and your site is looking great! :) As a "senior citizen" with bad eyes, may I suggest a little darker font?? I find it difficult to see the light colored fonts [on YT too!] but perhaps it's just me. Your form and content is clean and easy to navigate. Good luck and you know that we will help in any way we can!! ;)

Dawn How wonderful! Good luck I know you will do well.

Dawn,

Bravo to you girlfriend! What an excellent idea. And I love your website. I can't wait to see your rescue endeavor grow and grown. There are so many furkids waiting to find new homes and it's people like you who are so loving and compassionate that will change the future of these dogs forever.

Connie

Good on you!

Great!
 

Good for you...when you get a vet to work with, let me know..I will be first to make a donation to the vet for your rescue and vet fees.

I remember the pity party and knew you were determined to make a difference and here you are so quick to jump right in and do it for yourself. Bravo, I am so proud of you. I could put a link to your site on my website to but I am in the US and dont know if it would help you in Canada. Let me know though and I will be glad to do it. Keep up the good work.

Bettyanne, it isnt just you, the older I get the harder it is for me to see that light print too.

Awwww you girls MADE my day!!! I mean REALLY made my day!! I am so excited to get started but I really want to take it slow and steady so I can make winners out of unwanted dogs...I will change the font colour to a darker colour today!!

Dina yes it was me that posted on your site lol..I forgot to mention it was Dawn from YT lol...I would love love love some help!! I will give you a shout about it soon!!

I may start taking in cats also but time will tell. Hubby doesnt really want cats in the house after our siamese passed away...but we will see. I know I wouldnt mind taking in rabbits or guinea pigs also but here I go getting ahead of myself!

Again thank you all for the support and well wished and kind words...so appreciated!

Get this..a friend I havent seen in AGES stopped by today and we got to talking about stuff and came to find out he is looking for a shepard puppy..lol..sooooooooo if I get this puppy she/he will already have a placement!!

Thanks again all!!

Dawn

Wow, that's quite an undertaking!!! Good for you! I hope all goes well with your rescue efforts and that you keep us posted. I love hearing the stories of the ones who make it to their second chance forever homes!!!

I just got a call from a young woman with two very small children (4,2) who is on kidney dialasis (sp?) and needs a home for a cocker spaniel...I felt so bad for her because she is so sick sounding and so sad to have to give her up. I told her I have to wait a couple days and see what happens with the other case first although I know I could place a cocker pretty quickly so two wouldnt be a big deal. Im so exicited about this I COULD BURST!! It feels so good to help people out....and when our converstation is done I can hear relief and some happiness in their voices..

Dawn

What a great thing for you to do! Your website looks great.

Those are my favorite stories too...yay for the underdog!! I hope I can make a small dent in the world of unwanted doggies..

Dawn

thats awesome. I am really excited for you, please keep us updated!
