I wanted to thank everyone for the help these past few months - with the help of you all we really have been able to make a difference in the lives of some extremely needy dogs. Some of them had been neglected for many years and the vetting and forever homes we provided to them were life saving.
As of right now I do have my hands full since I am just an individual and can only do so much but I could not ignore the cry for help that was dropped in my lap today. Once again, the Ohio shelter that many of you have helped has some orphaned puppies that are desperately in need. The puppies were turned in without a mom, the owner sited it was an "unwanted" litter. This person has dropped off 3 "unwanted" litters this year so he is obviously running some type of puppy mill and these are the pups he can not sell. The shelter worker stated they are of different ages so they did not come from the same litter. There are 4 pups in total and it is thought at this time they range in age from 10-16 weeks old. They are simply mixed breed orphaned puppies. The issue is that the shelter is a small rural place and has no room. There is a foster home who is willing to pull these pups today but they do not have funds for the pull fees or to vet. I have spoken to the foster and she agreed she can also place them in good homes as long as we can work together and fund the medical they need, spay/neuter, and she needs a new puppy pen.
Although this shelter does euthanize "humanely" I can not stand the thought of these pups losing their lives because of lack of funding. In total it will cost:
Shots - 4 x $30
Deworming - 4 x $10
Pediatric Spay/Neuter - 4 x $90
2 week Quarantine - 4 x $100
Puppy Pen - $55
Total: $975
My husband and I are going to put in the first $100 so $875 is what is left. If anyone would like to help please let me know. Pictures from vet to follow if we are able to get this covered as the shelter does not have a camera - at some point I would like to get them a few digital cameras and see if they would be willing to get themselves set up on Adopt A Pet.
Please remember, I am rescuing these kids on my own so there is no group behind this to provide a tax deduction. This rescue is just all of us helping as individuals and not as a rescue.
