This week, SoCo took in a total of 10 puppies and just last night, a very pregnant dog was dumped in frigid weather at our door step. We currently have 74 dogs and, as usual, are at full capacity. We have been adopting out dogs but the influx of abandoned dogs makes it next to impossible for us to get ahead.

Unfortunately, our situation is almost as dire as the situation these dogs come from. SoCo operates on a very limited income, and we barely meet our monthly expenses for the care of the dogs, let alone paying the staff. We haven’t been able to pay our two staff members on a regular basis for months and they have informed me that they need to seek employment elsewhere if they don’t get paid by the end of the month.

Over the next few weeks, SoCo Rescue needs to raise $11,500 not only to meet our monthly obligations but to also bring the rescue current on what we owe our staff so we can keep them here. Yes, it is that bad.

I know you may be thinking, well, Scott always comes through. Look at all the adoption money! The facts are, the income received from adoptions barely covers the cost of the dogs vetting, spays or neuters and shots. Unfortunately, I am tapped out and cannot do it alone. I need YOUR help. I need it NOW. We are desperate.

This is how you can help.

1) An immediate, 1 time donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, as much as you are able to contribute.

2) Getting a commitment from 2 friends to make an immediate donation to SoCo and asking them to ask their friends to donate.

3) Sharing this request with your dog loving friends, rescue friends and whomever you think may be able to help us.

4) Signing up to make regular, monthly contributions to SoCo.

I am grateful to each of you for the ways you have supported SoCo, be it through adopting one of our dogs, volunteering at our adoption events, helping at the shelter or supporting us financially. We simply cannot do it without your help. Please, can we count on your help during this urgent time?
