ATTENTION, AISLE ONE!
We just received a donation of 4 garbage cans, by Fed Ex, but Fed Ex didn't bring the garbage can lids with them. If anyone placed and order and received notice that the gift was delivered, can you contact them and let them know that Fed Ex didn't leave the lids?

After weedeating for several hours, I decided that Rocket needed a swim.

A few weeks ago, we made a request for help with yard work. One fella and his girlfriend came and said they would do it for us

I didn’t realize their offer to help came as a barter. They came, with a kitten whose tail had been degloved. It cost us over $1,200 to get him vetted, and they worked for about an hour and left, never returned.
That was an expensive hour.

We also had made a request for people to help us with buying us galvanized garbage cans for us to keep the food dry and safe on the dogs lines. One person helped by purchasing us two cans, thank you Sarah Lott. The other offers came with a barter. “I will buy you a can if you take this litter of puppies”. “I will buy you a can, if you will take these six cats”
We are asking for help, because we are struggling and people genuinely are good and compassionate and understanding of how charity works.
Friends, I am old with health issues, I am attempting to weedeat our entrance because it is dangerous to pull out onto the West Mayes Speedway. (That damn David Archie had it repaved so now drivers go down it at 80 mph)

If anyone who does yardwork could come and offer up a bit of time, we would certainly appreciate it.

Update on Sherwood. That is what we named the cat with the horrific injury.
He came through surgery today with flying colors and is resting with the good meds.
Yesterday, I posted the wrong phone number to Luckney, for those who might have wanted to call in donations to his care. The correct number for the clinic is 601-992-3299

WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS!

While we are shut down for intakes, we will make an exception if the situation is dire and an emergency.
Yesterday, we agreed to take this precious boy in who had no one else to help him. We are not sure if his leg got caught in a trap or some other nefarious activity caused him to lose his paw. He also has a bullet in his shoulder and a fracture in his spine. The fracture is healing already and he should get through that with cage rest and gentle handling.
HOWEVER. He is going to have to have his leg amputated, which is happening tomorrow at Luckney Animal Hospital.
If you are inclined, he (and we) could use your help getting him the medical care he needs.
Please consider a tax deductible donation to ARF for his care; Options for donating include the BLUE BUTTON on this post, VENMO , Paypal - [email protected], USPS - ARF of MS 1317 Greymont Avenue Jackson MS 39202, or by calling Luckney Animal Hospital at 601-992-3299.
As always, we very much appreciate your helping us help these animals .

Good Sunday Afternoon Friends!
I hope everyone is having a lovely day and perhaps watching some golf on tv.
We have a need and hope some of you guys could help us out.
We need 10, yes 10! of these galvanized, 20 gallon garbage cans. Our workers use them on the lines to hold food for the dogs and these cans keep it dry, fresh and intruders out.
If anyone wants to send us 1 or 2 or 5 of these, we would be most appreciative! Our shipping address is 395 West Mayes Street Jackson, MS 39213
Now, get back to watching golf

Alabama Summer Heat: A Plastic Dog House is not sufficent shade or escape for the severe heat in Alabama. Have a Heart for a dog who is forced to stay outside - He/she would love to be able to come inside and truly be part of 'your family'.
😢If all your dog has for shade is a plastic house, then he or she could very well die in this heat. This also applies if your dog’s only means of getting out of the sun is in a room, or shed that has no windows to allow air to circulate. Put a thermometer in the area so you can see just how hot the space gets. My guess is that it will heat up like a sauna. If you are not able to stay or live in that plastic dog house, shed or room what makes you think your dog can?
Please provide some shade, a way for air to circulate whether by a fan, air conditioner, or add windows which would help the air to circulate. Better yet...bring them inside! They are family and in my eyes should be treated as such.
Also make certain they have plenty of water at all times. They are dependent on us to care for them. ⭐Please go that extra mile to see that they are happy and safe. 🙏
