Puppy fosters needed! Our boarding partners, Daisy's Pet Playground and River City Pet Camp, have recently taken in mom and pups for us when mom was still nursing. The puppies are now old enough to find their own foster homes. We welcome foster-to-adopt homes for these little ones. Moms Talula and Lucy Mae also need foster homes. If you can foster, please complete a foster application at ITVrescue.org.

๐ŸŒŸ JUNE EMPLOYEE OF MONTH: Tyler Burnette๐ŸŒŸ

Introducing Tyler Burnette, our outstanding Employee of the Month at It Takes A Village Rescue. Tyler's dedication and proactive approach to advocacy have made a significant impact on our organization.

Not only is Tyler a dedicated Kennel Manager, helping train and support ITV Animal Caretakers, but Tyler goes above and beyond advocating for ITV and homeless animals! Tyler actively participates in networking events, spreading awareness about our mission and connecting with potential supporters and adopters. His involvement in radio broadcasts and news segments helps amplify our message, reaching a broader audience and generating much-needed support.

Tyler's heart is particularly geared towards finding homes for senior animals. His compassion and commitment to these often-overlooked pets ensure they receive the love and care they deserve in their golden years. Tyler is always willing to learn new tools and techniques to aid in rescue efforts, demonstrating his commitment to personal and professional growth. He regularly attends professional development training, including CPR for pets and dog training courses, to enhance his skills and knowledge in animal care.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Tyler as part of our team. His advocacy, dedication to senior animals, and commitment to continuous learning make him a true asset to It Takes A Village Rescue. Thank you, Tyler, for your unwavering dedication and hard work!

UPDATE: We rescued the 5 remaining dogs yesterday - pregnant mom and 4 puppies. Unfortunately, mom passed away overnight. However, the 4 puppies are alert and appear to be doing well this morning. They are inside at our rescue center, but are in need of foster homes. If you can foster, please come to our rescue center today between 10-5 or complete a foster application at ITVrescue.org. Thank you!

Urgent need for foster homes!! These puppies are outside exposed to the extreme heat (we are told they were abandoned at this location). 3 have died this week and 6 are remaining. We will not let anymore die and we are on our way to get them. We are taking a leap of faith here and hoping our villagers step up to foster. They are about 9 months old beagle/pittie mixes. We are getting mom too, who is pregnant again. They are said to be good with people and dogs. They have fly strikes on their ears. If you can foster, please come to our rescue center, 1417 N. Stockwell Road, Evansville today and foster a dog at our rescue center to help us open up space. Or complete a foster application at ITVrescue.org. Thank you!

Katos is just a puppy at 6 months old and came to us last Saturday very ill. We were able to quickly get him to Princeton Vet where he was diagnosed with the deadly parvo disease. Katos was hospitalized and went through two rounds of Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody treatment, which saved his life. His cost of care to save his life is about $1600 to date, but he is on the road to recovery and he is expected to surviveโ€ผ๏ธ Will you consider a $5 donation to help us pay for Kato's lifesaving treatment?

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’” Sad News from ITV Rescue ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿพ

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of Bruce's passing. Bruce was one of the five dogs we recently took in after a barn fire in Warrick County. Despite all efforts, the infection he battled was too great for him to overcome.

We are incredibly grateful to the team at Warrick County Vet and Bruce's foster family for giving him a fighting chance and doing everything they could to save his life.

On a brighter note, the four puppies rescued alongside Bruce are doing well. The two who needed debridement procedures have completed them and are not expected to need any more debridement procedures.

Rest in Peace, Sweet Bruce. Your memory will forever be in our hearts. ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒˆ

Announcing our June Volunteer of the Month - Mark Jewell!!

Mark has been a vital part of our team since February 2018. Married to Robin, he is a proud father of four children and three dogs. An avid lover of fishing and outdoor activities, Mark finds joy in nature and bringing that enthusiasm to his volunteer work.

Mark's Contributions:

Transport Assistance: Mark tirelessly helps with the transportation of animals, ensuring they safely reach their new homes or necessary medical appointments. Just a few weeks ago, he transported a special needs puppy to Nashville for us!
Fostering: He opens his heart to foster animals, providing them with the love and care they need until they find their forever homes.
Fundraising Efforts: Mark is instrumental in raising funds for the rescue, ensuring we have the resources needed to continue our mission.
Professional Life:

Owner of Daisy's Pet Playground: Mark's business not only serves the community's pets but also provides a safe haven for fostering dogs, especially mom and pup families. Daisy's also has been a venue for ITV fundraisers, including Pet Photos with Santa!
Founder of Daisy's New Beginnings: Inspired by an ITV dog named Molly, who required extraordinary vet care due to special needs, Mark started this nonprofit to support local animal rescues.
Why He Helps: Mark believes in the importance of helping because the need is great. He has a special place in his heart for dogs who require extra care, like special needs dogs Molly, Blue and Nemo.

Biggest Surprise About Volunteering: Mark has been pleasantly surprised by how many of his staff have adopted rescue animals and how many of the rescues he sees after adoption. It's a testament to the community's involvement in animal rescue.

Lessons Learned: Through his volunteer work, Mark has learned the importance of maintaining faith despite the challenges. He understands that it's easy to become jaded but stresses the importance of recognizing the ongoing need for help.

Words of Advice: "Don't complain unless you are helping to be part of the solution," Mark advises. His proactive approach and positive attitude inspire everyone around him to contribute meaningfully.

We are incredibly grateful for Mark's unwavering dedication and compassionate heart. Thank you, Mark, for all that you do for It Takes A Village Rescue!
