It is with deep regret that we announce significant changes regarding 'Lada Paws Rescue.' As of this week, we are ceasing operations as a rescue organization. Initially, we were informed by the state that a license was unnecessary since we operated within a veterinary clinic. However, last month, we were notified about the lack of a license, which contradicts what we had been told. While we wish to continue our mission, the veterinary clinic requires concrete repairs (cracks in the concrete) costing a sum we currently do not possess and likely will not acquire. After much deliberation and sadness, we have made the difficult decision to halt our rescue efforts, which were beyond our control.
Regarding the animals in our care, we are awaiting guidance on their future, with hopes of transferring them to 'Hoisington Vet.' Despite these changes, we will maintain our contract with the city, allowing us to have some adoptable animals available. However, our capacity to assist additional animals is currently suspended. Over the past few years, we have saved hundreds of lives, and this unexpected turn of events is disheartening. We will revert to our previous name, 'Hoisington Veterinary Adoptables’, and will no longer operate as a 501(c)(3) organization.
With the loss of our 501(c)(3) status, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support we have received over the years. Your contributions have been vital in saving numerous animals. Moving forward, we will separate future donations and adoption fees from the clinic, ensuring that all donations directly benefit the animals as they always have, though they will no longer be tax-deductible. We anticipate losing some valued supporters due to this change, which will impact our ability to assist animals in need.
Currently, the future remains uncertain. Should circumstances shift, we may revert to our previous state; however, I do not expect this to occur, given the manner in which the situation has been managed.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone for their support throughout the years and for any future assistance we may receive.
