Animal shelters often rely on rescue organizations for a couple of reasons. 1) When we see that we are reaching full capacity, we will try to contact rescues for our dogs that seem easily adoptable; giving us quick space. 2) shelter employees and volunteers can see what dogs would most likely do well, if given “a bridge” between the shelter and a forever home, otherwise known as a rescue organization.
That is where our volunteer, Bailey Wright, comes in. She works hard advertising dogs like Buddy within her network of rescue contacts when we know they can’t be adopted out due to behavior but would benefit from that extra help. She visits the dogs at the shelter almost weekly to get to know them, sends emails/makes calls answers questions, takes video, participates in temperament tests, and transports these dogs to safety. These are all time consuming tasks that receive no pay. It is all for the love of every dog that she encounters and that she owns. We are grateful for her contributions to our shelter (moving more than 50 dogs from Fayette County).
Taffy’s Touch Senior Dog Rescue was that bridge that Buddy desperately needed to stay alive.
If you are in the position to donate, this is a great organization. They can’t exist without donations and some of our dogs won’t make it without their organization’s help.
Seeing his progress brings so much pride and joy to our hearts. Seeing him should remind us all why we share, follow, all donate…all while withstanding the heartaches and the frustration. He made it because people cared. 🐕🐾🐾❤️
