6 new dogs!! Final Hours for Double Donations w/Ranger Memorial Fundraiser

We have 6 new dogs this week and possibly more waiting in the wings!

We still have doubled donations until midnight, Friday August 2nd with the Ranger Memorial Fundraiser.

Click on the blog spot to see the handsome faces of our new dogs in need and how you can help make their second chances a reality.

If you can help these big dogs, it would be appreciated. 100% of your donation, (and until tomorrow night 200%!) goes to their care and adoption, trying to keep them out of kill shelters.

Thank you.

to saving Anatolians, and, infrequently, a weiner dog, because sometimes they have friends.

The Anatolians are great. Big, nice-looking, smart dogs, bred for work in flocks of sheep or goats, and people fall in love with them and move them into their lives. But sometimes they just don't fit, and sometimes they wind up being killed in shelters (or worse) because they are so big, kinda the same problem that big black dogs face.

Every single one that I have transported or kept over night or fostered just thinks humans are great, and have been loving and kind dogs. The cost to the org per dog they help is often around $400 to $600 or more, and adoption fees usually are $250 or below, so it is a constant battle, and sometimes they are unable to help.

I say that to let you know that your money will make a difference to at least one of these kind souls, perhaps more.

Thank you again.
