Hi friends of animals,
it takes a steady cash flow to even skim the surface of the many needs to help animals ...
with the economy we are all aware of the past year, rescue and needy animals have taken a triple harder hit,,,, there is no way to even describe the demands and the needs coming at us every single day...
I am asking for help, again,,, if you know folks who can donate anything to my effort, please tap into any sources who might really want to give but arent sure how to funnel it through where it is most needed and is legitimately used for the animals in need...all area rescues are struggling and especially independent rescues who pay out of pocket and arent receiving grants and govt. funding...
below, a sampling of my rescue work,, and no, this is NOTa narcissistic essay on me or an attempt to get a hero or honor award,, I just thought if you saw the faces and had a brief bio on them, it brings more meaning than a blank email and another plea for help ....
"Special K"-- pittie peaking out of her doghouse,, the owners left the property after our May 8th storm because of severe damage to the trailor and property , and all his dogs sit there(5 of them) and wait for me to feed, water, apply biting-fly repellant daily,,, the family living in same town in temp housing , wont drive 8 blks to care for them,,, I had all the females spayed years ago and I cant forsake them,,, the family who owns dogs really are not mean spirited or into dogfighting, they just like to have the pitties around for protection and status, and when the storm hit and blew trees down, they havent been back since,, I have bought water buckets and supplies to keep these dogs as comfortable as I can with my limited resources..
"Money" another of the pitties on property that suffered storm damage,,,,he waits daily for fly spray to keep them from eating off his ears and for a little handout from me,,,,
"Junie" smiling shep collie mix,,, got her off deathrow at my county pound and she is in boarding awaiting transport to a licensed rescue who is going to take her, but in the meantime, I am paying daily boarding $$ to keep her safe,, I have no room to foster at my house currently, have others here that came before her....
"Heathcliff" gorgeous PB English Setter,, got him off deathrow at pound and he is heartworm positive,,, thankfully, a generous Setter rescue is going to take him and pay for treatment when they find a foster home, but in meantime, he too, is boarding and I am personally responsible for that boarding bill,,,
"Spangle" cute white and blk shep/spitz/?? mix,,, another taken off deathrow and all the vaccines, and vet care is out of my pocket , and currently looking for a rescue to take him..
if anyone can help my effort, of sponsoring spays and care in the local low income neighborhoods, of providing for our county animals at our county animal control until I find rescue, please consider this,,,
these are my vet clinics where some of these animals are boarding,,,, a verification can be made and here are phone numbers
PET WELLNESS CENTER (Marion, Illinois) 618-993-2273
QUALITY CARE ANIMAL HOSPITAL (Herrin, Illinois) 618-997-4272
CENTRAL HOSPITAL FOR ANIMALS (Herrin,Illinois) 618-997-6536
if 10 people donate $5.00, boom, $50.00 is collected and that is like $500.00 to me at the present time, my funds are so low,,,, a bag of Cat Chow is $10-12 dollars,, can you find someone to buy ONE bag for me, in one summer, can someone help with that,, could those of you belonging to organized religious groups, possibly approach them for help for the ANIMALS in their own community that a few struggling people are trying to handle...
the sturdy water buckets for these dogs in the neighborhoods are $6.00 at RURAL KING,, these arent cheap but the cheap ones are not sturdy enough so that the dogs knock them over ,, they go without water then, until I get there after work.....
the FLY REPELLANT at RURAL KING is about $8.00 per bottle,,, can someone buy ONE bottle for me, just once this summer....these are the daily, weekly purchases that can really add up in extreme weather, much like in the winter months, the constant purchase of straw adds up and depletes my wallet fast,,,
many of you copied here are out in your own trenches daily and also are desperate for funds,,, I support you and thank you too,,, and I thank you again for the generous help you have given me in the recent past.. and would not want ANYONE to jeopardize their own efforts or struggle to help another,, just pass the word please and as I always say, do NOT feel the obligation to explain or defend if one cannot give a penny....
thank you for listening,, if the photo images I am sending are removed, (sometimes my computer does that and I am not sure why) please let me know and I will re-send the photos of the sampling of dogs shown..
in honest spirit of helping the animals,
Candy Thomas, Southern Illinois
Compassion means action!
Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not
as they should be, stop you. Go on anyway.
Everything depends on those who go on anyway.
