FRIDAY, JULY 21: This is not the way I was hoping we would end this week, or head into next week, as the requests from our local shelters keep coming in, emails packed full of faces needing help, subject lines of "Final Day" "Last Chance" "Code Red", or even just "Please, Just This One". Just since MONDAY we have taken in OVER 20 puppers (count is still in flux as we have a transport on the way to/from one of our local shelters right now that is so full they have pop up crates filling offices, but we know at least 7 headed to us today which will pu us at 22 since Monday), and in the two weeks before that it was 15, so that is 37+ pups (plus a hedgehog or two) in the last 21 days. 37+ lives saved, and truthfully, you don't want to know the number of gutwrenchings "no's" that we had to say:( This summer “surrender season” has been very very rough here (and frankly all over), and it has been really, really hard for me to bring myself to write a post asking for financial support and donations, especially when many of us are also struggling financially...I just haven't wanted to have to ask, but my hesitancy hasn't made our dilemma any less, or had surrenders decreasing - July and August are always, always, our worst couple of months and this year is exactly the same, and we have reached the breaking point.
Can you PLEASE help us turn Friday into Fri-Yay?
I can't put off this post, or asking any longer. So, we have taken in all the pups we can as of today and our current commitments, and simply can't take anymore until we can catch up. Since FLDR takes in 80% medical cases, meaning our pups need extra medical care and that's why they are in rescue, and those pups stay in foster care longer as they get better - summer and "surrender season" hits us extra hard. We really need your help. Every donation helps. Just $5 on a Friday can mane it a Fri-YAY for so many pups out there…..If every single one of our social media fans just donated $5, we wouldn't have to ask for any help for an entire year! However, with FB wanting us to pay to boost posts, and then restricting how many people see our subsequent posts unless we pay for them too, less than 10% of our fans actually see each post, making it even harder to sustain ourselves through the summer. Please, if you can, lend a helping paw. Your donation will be literally allowing us to catch up and resume saving lives. Lives that are counting on us, because there is no one else. Please like our posts on socials, even though its really not one to "like", but it does help us to reach more of our fans. Please also share, so that we reach more people, and more help for the pups. We will keep you updated on our progress. As always, we thank you so very very very much.
*All the pups in the pictures are BRAND NEW into rescue, and are NOT AVAILABLE for adoption at this time, please check our the adoptable dogs page of our website for pups ready for homes now! Thank you!!
