The Kohn Foundation hasn't added a story.
DealTaker is partnering with The Kohn Foundation, the official US charitable foundation supporting The Humane Society of Grand Bahama, to help rebuild and care for the 75 dogs and 50 cats that survived hurricane Dorian.
DealTaker owner and Colorado Animal Welfare League Vice-President, Beth Lazar, watched Facebook helplessly as volunteers for The Humane Society of Grand Bahama scrambled to assist the 200+ shelter dogs and cats as the category 5 hurricane ripped through their safe place. At one point six HSGB shelter volunteers were trapped in neck deep water in a room in the shelter hoping for rescue. Commenters on the situation assumed the animals would be a total loss.
Cheers and prayers were offered when HSGB Director, Tip Burrows, announced that the volunteers were rescued and safe as we waited with baited breath to find out the fate of the homeless and owned animals hunkered down at the shelter.
The bittersweet announcement came the morning of September 4th where we learned that at least 75 dogs have survived as well as 50 or more cats - Tip was having a hard time counting those! HSGB is asking us to continue to pray for their rescuers, animals and the Islands of the Bahamas.
There will be a lot of rebuilding to do get back to the amazing work this shelter does in saving the potcakes (Bahamian island dogs) and in conjunction with The Kohn Foundation, DealTaker and The Colorado Animal Welfare League are asking for donations that will directly fund The Humane Society of Grand Bahama.
Please help our friends at The Humane Society of Grand Bahama by donating today! Your donation is tax deductible through The Kohn Foundation.
About The Kohn Foundation:
The Kohn Foundation (TKF) is a non-profit (501c3) organization based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S. TKF received its non-profit status in April, 2004, prior to Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances, which devastated Grand Bahama Island. Deeply moved by the starving, sick and undernourished potcakes roaming the streets, Ellen Kohn contacted Tip Burrows, the Manager of the Humane Society of Grand Bahama (HSGB) in 2005. A strong partnership ensued, where TKF began to raise money for critically needed medicines, vaccines and food for the HSGB. Today, more than 15 spay/neuter clinics have been performed by U.S. veterinary teams, with the money and supplies being funded by TKF supporters. Additionally, TKF and HSGB have joined forces to literally rescue puppies and adult dogs via our famous �puppy lift� operations, where dogs are flown by cargo out of Freeport to dozens of cities across the U.S., sparing their lives. We continue to be a very strong pair, motivated by our ongoing successes and the grateful potcakes who have been given a second chance.
