|
Trying to establish contacts who are in the trenches to help families keep their pets while placing the unwanteds in loving inside homes.
Offering to Spay/Neuter Mom and/or Dad to end the cycle.
We are located WI/IL area and have transport in place from St.Louis, MO.
So with that said, are there any other independent rescuers or good Samaritans that would like to help one family at a time? |

That sounds like a great program!
A shelter by me arranges short term fostering for families in need and another has a low cost clinic and a food pantry. The number of owner surrenders are still bad.
I donate to a rural shelter that releases dogs with a spay/neuter contract. They have a chip in to get shelter dogs fixed so they are more adoptable. If you have a website, you might look into setting up a chip in. |

Article in my newspaper today says in my hometown of about 10,000 people, we will have approximately 11 -ELEVEN- stray dogs entering the shelter in 2012.......... there are very, very few dogs needing homes here.
I would love to help a less fortunate family get their pets fixed and place the offspring. You hear of a lot of dogs in need in MO- some having litters upon litters every year. I can understand the reality of feeding the family versus getting the family dog fixed.........
just seems a small part that will add up to hundreds of lives prevented. |
