Graciela Phillips hasn't added a story.

The time has rushed by, and here it is May already, the month I have been dreading to come. In a week, my brother will be going back home to Peru, and I will be left alone to care for all of the dogs at the refuge. The workload is huge, even for two people, and I don’t know how I’m going to handle it by myself. If you have a dog rescue in the eastern coast of the US, or know of any (particularly in Florida or New York) that would like to help me in finding homes for my babies, please contact me. The more partner rescues I can find, the quicker I can get more of my dogs into the states, where they can get their dreams of a forever family. They all deserve to have a loving home, after the hell they’ve endured living on the streets. No dog should ever have to eat garbage and rocks, trying to fill an empty tummy, or cower in fear from humans that mean to hurt them, just for their daring to exist. They need a soft bed, toys to play with - maybe a child to run after, that will fill the days with fun and exercise. They need good food and care, to keep them healthy and contented, while they live out a long and happy future. Will it be your couch they come to crash on? Do you have a space beside you that waits for a potcake to stretch out for a belly rub? If there is room in your heart for another dog, please give one of my babies a home. You will get so much in return from their loyal company.

The stress over expenses of caring for so many dogs is worse than the constant work. I worry every day that I won’t be able to give them the things they need. Vet bills are nonstop, and every dog that I help has to be vetted so that they can get treatment for whatever illness they have. Most have at least one tick-borne disease, with deadly heart worm hitting about 80% of them. It costs $300 per dog to get the course of meds to clear them of the parasites that will kill them. Health certificates and necessary vaccinations are needed for each dog to travel, along with the crates to transport them. Those expenses are on top of the daily costs to feed everyone (over $700 each week), and the $3000 for monthly rent and utilities. It’s a never ending struggle to keep the doors open for my homeless to have a safe place to stay. I try to give them the love and care that they’ve never known, but the financial worries are always eating away at my mind. I badly need your help, as I am barely keeping up with everything that demands to be paid. There is never enough to cover every bill owed, let alone any excess funds to allow me to get ahead. That would be my dreams come true; for each dog waiting here to get a forever home, and for each past due bill to be marked PAID. Whatever you can do to help make it happen would be a great relief to my tortured thoughts of what will become of us all when Pawtcake Refuge has to close it’s doors. That would be a nightmare ending to the dream I had when I started this place over 3 years ago. Every dollar you give goes to creating the best future possible for the voiceless of this island, and every dog here is grateful for your help, in whatever way you may give it. Thank you for supporting us all!
