This says it all.....

PERMISSION GIVEN TO SHARE AND CROSSPOST WE STILL NEED RESCUE AND DONATIONS

Wanted to update those of you who have already stepped up to help us save as many of these Mexico Missouri puppy mill dogs as possible and to ask you to keep this request going. Today is October 17th, 2010 and already we have commitments for 154 of the close to 800 dogs being auctioned off. There are many other rescues who will be attending and stepping up to help as well but we have a long way to go to save them all. The auction is Oct 29th and 30th so we have less then 2 weeks to obtain additional rescue commitments and additional funds to take on this mission.

Since the time of our original plea we have found out that there will be a vet in attendance who can do rabies and provide health certificates so that we can legally transport these dogs across state lines. The auction company tells us that cost will be approx $25 per dog. We are also aware that there will be dogs we can save for as little as $5 but in order to save others the price will be much higher. In order to figure a budget for this we are figuring $50 per dog for the bid and the rabies and health certificate. That being said, the cost based on those figures of the 154 dogs who have commitment will be $7700, hopefully we will have more that average less then that but we won't know until we are there in the thick of it. This does not include any transportation costs, boarding, urgent medical care, supplies such as crates, food, vaccinations, medication, bowls, bedding, leashes, etc.


We need to continue to circulate this in order to get additional rescue commitments as well as additional funds. We have a chip in account set up, you can click here to donate http://sscr.chipin.com/missouri-mill-dog-auction-rescue. If you can reach out to make a rescue commitment please email myself at gliderdance@yahoo.com or my partner Susan Turturice at miskeira@sbcglobal.net.

If you would like to donate supplies or would prefer to mail your donation you can send it to:

Together we can save these dogs from continuing on in the cycle of puppy mill and offer then a chance at a real life filled with love and hope. If you have any questions about what we are doing or how fund will be distributed or used please email us. Thank you all so much for what you have done and are continuing to do to save these dogs. They deserve life....

As of today, all but 17 have either been placed with rescue or have been adopted into loving forever homes! If you or anyone you know can help the remaining 17 small breed puppy mill survivors, please call the Marshall Veterinary Clinic as soon as possible at 660-886-2231.

Please help us rescue more of these innocent souls!!!
