I know a lot of you have expressed interest in helping out with dog rescue, but don't know how you can help. No pressure from me at all.
A few friends and I have an opportunity to help facilitate the transport of 6 shelter dogs from L.A-area shelters to a rescue in the Seattle-area. So far we have been able to bail out 2 dogs (and another tomorrow) and have reservations on a transport from L.A to Washington. We have such an over-population problem in L.A that getting dogs out of L.A is often the only solution. Originally we were going to just transport these 3--all are dogs that we have been watching for a few weeks at the shelter and finally rescued when they were red-listed. However, this transporter (who was recommended by a well-known rescue in the area) offered us a deal that we couldn't pass up. Instead of paying $50 per dog for the 3 dogs, we could purchase space in a large crate and fit 6 smaller dogs for $200. So that's 3 more dogs that we could save. But this leaves us only a short amount of time to raise the extra funds for the transport as well as the pull fees from the shelter.
I'm sending out this plea to you all to spread the word. Even $5 would make a difference. Last week we rescued a shelter dog for only $5 (the rescue fee for a fixed dog from the shelter). We need to move quickly because they have a reservation for Friday! Any help you can for networking to help us raise the extra money would be so much appreciated!
