7.24.11 - An Update from the Director
Rescued Unwanted Furry Friends aka Ruff Rescue has supported military personnel since 2004 in either taking in their dogs, find other no kill shelters to take them when we had no room, or find foster homes to take their beloved pets should they be stationed to a location that doesn't allow them to take their dogs with them as long as they had orders showing their inability to take their dogs with them. It has been our honor to help in this small way. We have been unable to take in dogs since the Gulf Oil Spill from anyone or from any kill shelter. We have lost our funding since the Gulf Oil Spill and we have been trying to keep our shelter doors open by asking for donations to help us pay utilities, food and vet bills. Our shelter isn't large enough to "advertise" help for military intakes so we have a form on our website where owners could request to turn in their dog. First priority was given to military personnel who were to be stationed overseas or remote locations that they were unable to take their dog with them. We need your help to keep our shelter doors open and would like to receive funding to help us add additional location near other military bases so that we could expand and help more military personnel. Imagine getting orders to move away knowing that you cannot take your pet and no where to take it but the local kill shelter. Nothing is harder on a military person than having to turn in their beloved pet to a kill shelter before being sent away to a remote location. Imagine the stress of not only being sent away but having to give up your pet knowing it will be put down. We have in the past held dogs for their return as well if former owner asked. We do not have and have not had the funding to continue on at this point and need financial help to continue on. Please donate. We need your help.
An Urgent Message from the Director
Dear Friends and Supporters,
PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR SHELTER. WE ARE A 501C3 NON-PROFIT NO-KILL SHELTER.
179. This is the number of dogs in our possession before the BP oil spill.
49. This is the number of dogs in our possession after the BP oil spill.
Since 2004 we have saved over 2,200 dogs. Our dog count has severely dropped due in part to the lack of funds after this disaster. In order to keep the doors open, we had to drastically reduce the amount of dogs we take in. While we found homes for over 100 since the oil spill, we would like to provide a shelter for countless others that may find themselves in desperate need of care.
You are needed now more than ever.
In order to provide a loving, nurturing shelter for these dogs, we are in desperate need of your support and donations now more than ever before. We face an immediate threat of closing if we do not meet the bare minimum amount of funding to remain open.
These dogs need you now. Their lives depend on you.
Below you will find a Paypal link to send in your tax deductible donation. Your donations and support determine our future as a no kill shelter. Please, find it in your hearts to spare any amount you are able to give. Your support will mean the world to our dogs, as well as ourselves. Every little bit helps.
Please help spread the word via our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Thank you, from the bottom of our paws for your time, love, and support.
Sincerely, Janice Brooks, Director
