Guardian K9 Rescue Unit hasn't added a story.
Guardian K9 Rescue Unit is a 501c3 non profit dog rescue in West Tennessee. Our focus is on stray, abandoned and neglected dogs in the Mid-South.
We've recently had to stop intake because it appears that now we have become abandoned. We simply cannot cover the expense of a new dog with the handful of loyal supporters we have. With winter in mind, intake has been closed until we can raise the funds needed to cover existing as well as upcoming expenses.
Our biggest fear right now is raising the funds to have our propane tank filled before the bitter cold sets in, this is our dog's primary source of heat during the harsh winters we can have here.
We also have a large Veterinary bill weighing on our minds. It wouldn't be right of us to take in more dogs in need of medical care knowing we have this debt to pay off. It just wouldn't feel right. An even worse feeling, having to say no to a dog in need.
In addition to our two most important goals, we have the day to day expenses to think about. Food, flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, vaccines, spay/neuter and the high cost of heartworm treatment that 90% of dogs in our area desperately need.
Guardian K9 was founded in 2015. And for the first time ever, we've hit a record low. Keeping in mind that we have no one on payroll, and we put all of the work in daily - usually alone. Grass has to be cut, runs have to be cleaned, kennels have to be cleaned, dogs need to be bathed, walked, socialized, and so much more. It's a labor of love, and we couldn't imagine waking up to an empty kennel, with no work to do.
The need for rescue in the Mid-South is urgent. While we do not generally pull from shelters, I know that if I took a walk through the Shelby Forest neighborhoods, I could fill our kennel in less than a week. We are located near several dumping grounds, out of sight areas which are a popular place for people to abandon dogs - some of them already dead. The ones who survive are living, breathing, thinking and loving animals. They deserve better, and we strive to give them that.
We need your help to continue not only rescuing, but nurturing these forgotten souls.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
