ATTENTION ALL ANIMAL LOVERS: HELP US SAVE LUNA AND ROCKIE FROM DEATH ROW
About the Rescue, (Canine Crew Dog Rescue)
We are a non-profit rescue based in Vancouver BC called Canine Crew Dog Rescue. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs from high kill shelters in California.
Because we are a new rescue, we were not planning on saving dogs until our website launched in October... but Luna and Rockie desperately need our help and we can't do it without you. Our Director, Madison Dutkiewicz, has been saving dogs from California for 5 years and decided to start Canine Crew this summer. Luna and Rockie are currently in a high kill shelter in California called Carson Animal Shelter.
About Luna and Rockie
Healthy, young, loving dogs are being euthanized because the shelters are underfunded and overcrowded. Rockie and Luna are just under a year old. Sweet Luna and Rockie came into the shelter with their three siblings (two were pregnant) because the owner had too many dogs that were being bred. They have only ever lived a life of loneliness in a backyard. This means that they have never felt what a loving home really feels like. When Luna and Rockie arrived at the shelter, they had to be carried to their pens when they wouldn’t walk because they had never been on a leash before... their life was truly confined to the four walls of their backyard. Luna and Rockie, just like their siblings, are very scared and overwhelmed with a high chance of euthanasia if something is not done. The shelter is extremely hot with no fans or AC, they are kept in concrete pens with little human interaction away from their siblings, and there is the constant echoing of dogs barking.
The shelter staff tried to walk both Luna and Rockie to the play yard, but both dogs froze in fear. As a result, they had to be placed into a rolling cart and taken to the yard. Both dogs are incredibly gentle and full of potential. We currently have two fosters here in British Columbia willing and able to take Luna and Rockie in to find forever homes. Now, we just need your help to raise funds for them.
What we need to save them
Our goal is to raise $800 to help support Luna and Rockies flight to BC, their spay and neuter because they were used for breeding and have not been fixed, vaccinations and health certificates, heartworm testing, and microchip identification. Their crate and flight to Canada alone will cost us $441.5 CAD per dog with Air Canada. That does not include their spay/neuter, shots, microchip, vaccinations and other necessary expenses, including foster care.
We hope to raise these funds by September 18th as we want to get them out of the shelter ASAP and have a flight volunteer available to transport them both to Canada on September 19th.
Every little bit counts. Whether that is $1, $5, $10, $20 or $50... it all adds up. Oftentimes people are understandably unable to foster because of their living situation. This is a way for you to help save two innocent lives by donating as little as $1.
