Dear Friends and Rescuers,
Anza
Animal Friends is a large-scale dog rescue that is very sadly having to
close its doors suddenly due to a family emergency. Because of this we
need safe, solvent and enriching placements for our beloved rescue dogs.
All of these dogs were at one time either dumped by their former owner,
found wandering the streets or were within hours of being killed in an
Animal Shelter. Anza Animal Friends Dog Rescue gave these dogs a 2nd
chance when there was none. Now that the rescue needs to close, these
dogs desperately need responsible placement and time is of the essence.
There were abandoned once….WE CANNOT LET THEM DOWN AGAIN.
We have
reached out to the rescue community, as well as individuals, to help us
find rescues that could take them in or private adopters to give them a
home. Since August 26th we’ve found amazing homes for 9 dogs! The
rescue community has been amazing with stepping in to help network these
dogs and we have commitments for about 25-30 more and are still
networking the remaining dogs in need.
At this time we are
reaching out for much needed support. We are trying to raise $6000
minimum to meet the dogs’ needs. This will get us started but even after
the 25-30 that are pending rescue/adoption we will still need funding
to support the remaining dogs while we continue to network them into
homes and/or other rescues.
Below is a basic breakdown of where the funds will be applied:
-Dog food– There haven’t been any food drops and we go through 4 large bags everyday.
-$300-500 for an on-site vet visit
-$150 Rabies vaccine vial
-$150 Heart-worm test kit
-$1000-2000 + for vetting (i.e. Rabies boosters, Heart Worm tests where required, Health Certificates, Spays and Neuters)
-$3000
in gas for the 2 transports thus far scheduled ($1000 for the Pacific
Northwest transport and $1500-2000 for the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
transport)
-Vehicle rental and/or a paid animal rescue transporter
(if you have access to a cargo van and/or bus that can hold large crates
that you can lend please let us know and we can save $ on vehicle
rental fees as this gets very expensive)
Creative thinking and ideas to save money are welcomed however time is of the essence.
In
closing I invite you to please view the adoptable dogs in the albums
(links provided at the bottom). Every dog in this album has it’s own
story and often there is a lot of sadness behind the eyes of an
abandoned dog. But these dogs now have hope where once there was none.
They are all on different parts of their journey and it’s up to us to be
their stewards and see them through to a rich and wonderful life….the
life that all animals deserve.
Thank you for any and all contributions! THE DOGS ARE DEPENDING ON ALL ON US ….
