Our next donation will go to help this sweet senior pair get settled in a sanctuary in NM. They have had it rough recently, losing their family (and temporarily each other) in their golden years. Hopefully tomorrow we can send some things from their wish list. Thank you Daisy Farm Sanctuary for giving these two the ability to stay together and be loved the rest of their lives.
These two little Valentines are Kato and Clover. A senior pair that I have been keeping my eye on for some time now. After a very bad series of tragedies in their family's lives, they found themselves in a local shelter. They were separated, their names were changed, and by all accounts, they had lost everything. Their parents did everything they could, reaching out to countless state rescues and sanctuaries, as were other people on their behalf. What they got was the usual: no response at all, or that they had no room. It infuriates me that the common practice for places is to simply not reply when it comes to things like this. If you don't have room, fine, but have the courtesy to let them know, so that they can keep looking and at least feel like they are making contact with places. It also makes me really frustrated that one of the groups that did not even bother to respond was the original rescue that Kato came from years ago. Typically, rescues want to be notified when something happens, and often will want the dog returned to them. This large, well-known rescue could not be bothered to help in any way or even answer. With a mama working her butt off trying to do her best, and a daddy that is very ill, these two kids really just needed a shot at life for their golden years so that their parents could have peace with it, and be able to focus on the major life changes happening. I kept thinking that someone would step up and take them. That a group would say, "We can help." As time went on, it became apparent that WE needed to be the someone, because there was nobody else.
We are minus the usual time that we have to gather a lot of the supplies needed for them, because time for them to be here on this earth was ticking quickly down, and we had to act fast. We have some things, but still need some help with remaining items. You will find some of the staple supplements we give the senior kids, some of our favorite durable blankets, and other items needed for them. These two are coming home tomorrow. Can you help gift them a special something to help them get settled? It would be so appreciated. You can find the link in the comments.
Hang in there kids, we are here, and we will get you home!
