***** URGENT REQUEST *****
Is anyone able to donate the rental of a box truck (up to 26'),
for transporting supplies? This would help us tremendously. We
wouldn't have to raise as much cash because the truck rental will be
our largest expense. Any business that donates the use of their
truck will be mentioned throughout all of our event promotions.
************************************
The Marion County Animal Shelter (MCAS) is where MRM Rescue
Transports got their start in animal rescue, in 2012. I (Maggie
Giamalvo) adopted my dog, Rico, from this shelter (by way of a great
GSD rescue in Kentucky) and became a volunteer transport driver
while I was waiting for him to be shipped to me.
MCAS has always been a very small, rural shelter that's
over-crowded and severely under-funded. On a regular day, a small
rain shower floods the facility. I can't even imagine the flooding
that Hurricane Florence will cause to this little shelter.
I'm collecting supplies and funds to be able to help MCAS (and
the surrounding area), once the storm passes. This is just a
preliminary list of items they'll need and I will update it with
more information, as it becomes available to me. I'm collecting:
dog food (dry and wet)
cat food (dry and wet)
cat litter
litter boxes
bowls for food/water
cases of bottled water (all sizes)
collars/harnesses
leashes
trash bags
paper towels
cloth towels
blankets
laundry detergent
crates of all sizes
bleach
spray bottles (approximately 32oz size)
gas cans
nitrile gloves
gauze
rubbing alcohol
3% hydrogen peroxide
bandages/wraps
bolt cutters
axe (no, not the stinky body spray) ;-)
protein bars and drinks
tuna packets (the tear-open kind, not cans)
beef jerky
single serving size snacks (trail mix, chips, crackers, etc)
Pedialite
several pallets (to keep food off the ground)
several plastic tubs (for transporting supplies and keeping food dry)
sturdy shelving units (for supply organization)
tables (for medical triage)
Horse specific needs (send a PM to
MRM Rescue Transports on Facebook to
arrange pick-up)
round pen panels (for building stalls) - Tractor Supply is a
good source
pine shavings (for stall lining) - there's 2 sizes; small flakes
are preferred
hay
water buckets

. Funds raised will go toward the trip expenses (it's a 2200
mile trip, plus truck rental, lodging, etc), first. After that, I'll
use it to purchase any additional supplies that I can.
Thank you for your generosity!
