Hello everyone and hope you all had a wonderful Easter Holiday weekend.
Just checking in with everyone and to give you a little update on what is happening here.
Princess the poor starved little girl is still with us. She is just as sweet as can be but still has a LONG road ahead of her. Her new mommy is tube feeding her every two hours day and night. She is finally going potty on her own. It is pretty sad when we get so excited to see a dog go potty but when you haven't seen her go in weeks because she didn't have anything to let out because her body was taking it all in, that is really sad and exciting at the same time. There were a couple of "scares" when she did have to get rushed to the vet, but each time she was able to come back home again. The previous family is in a little bit of trouble now. I do not want to get into too much detail but lets just say that he has a court date now! We would like to thank everyone for keeping her in your prayers. I am sure that is helping.
On a lighter note, we have many new additions to the Waggin' Tails family that are looking for homes. Some are local owner surrenders and others are from shelters. We just can't help ourselves when we see those little faces and attached is a "death date". Each night I just want to take them all in and it is the hardest thing in the world to do when you have to choose. I know that I/we can not save them all and I do not pretend to believe that we can. But there are many days that I wish that we could. Our entire group feels the same way.
So................ let me ask you all a question. If there was a low cost shot clinic in the capital district would you go? And if so what is the distance that you would be willing to travel to get there? We are in the process of putting one together but would like your thought on this. Here is what is slowing us down. A place to do it!! We do not need much room and we already have a vet that has agreed to do it for us. However we do not have a place to be able to set up shop twice a month. What we are looking for is a store, business or someplace that we can be indoor and set up a couple of tables (actually three tables). We would like to have about 4 plus hours every other Monday. We would not be able to rent/pay for this time unfortunately due to the fact that we are a not-for-profit. But you would be able to write your time and space off as a donation. We would like it to be in an easy to get to/find location. A fire house or school gym or something like that would be perfect. Please if you know of anyplace and/or would like more information contact me and I would be happy to give you more details.
We are also still seeking foster homes. As you can see, we are full again!! Most of our foster homes are doubled up right now and we are totally fresh out of space and getting calls every day asking for our help. I know that i sound like a broken record on this subject, but foster homes are so very important. No rescue or shelter can do what they do without the wonderful foster home volunteers.
Well, I guess that is all for tonight.
Have a great night!!
