Apollo Search and Rescue Team

09/18/2024

Every Rescue in Texas is suffering right now. It's really tough to keep going. It's even harder to ask everyone to give when it seems so much hardship is occuring in so many lives. We appreciate the support beyond words. This life is not for the weak. Knowing every day we wake up we are responsible for 400 animals. Feeding them, their medical, we are retaining dogs longer so that means not a week goes by we don't have to take several dogs to the vet. We spend nearly $2500 on medical food alone. $3000 on medication, $28,000 a month on payroll and this is a skeleton staff. then we have Electric bills and many operations costs. We are proud that our main admin team is not paid and none of our board members are paid and they work really hard and give of their own time. We pay those to care for the animals on site. Having a facility has saved so many lives I don't regret it but it is HUGE undertaking I never thought would be. "Build it and they will come"... I thought that meant volunteers..... Nope this year it meant dumping dogs. We have had to sacrifice our meet and greet room and lobby to setup crates. Its so hard now to show a dog when it's 100 degrees outside. I really hope we can raise money to care for our dogs medial and to build another building so we can offer better options for on site adoptions. I hoping this will improve our adoptions. Please consider giving a small amount for North Texas giving day. We have asked a lot of you this year and we are hanging on because of this support THANK YOU!!!! Jennifer Smith

3 trips to Glenrose and finally got this beautiful dog. It took the "kennel trap" I used to catch Ennis, but we got her.

Wish they were all this easy. Caught within an hour setting trap. Has chip and has been missing since December 2019. Owners contacted.

On the run for 7days now. 3 dogs got out during family emergency and 2 have been hit and killed. We need to bring this one home. Traps are in place with cameras

Team Sammy... the surgery went very well. The leg is plated back together and a full recovery and full use of the leg is expected. You guys are awesome!

**UPDATE** Team Sammy... the surgery went very well. The leg is plated back together and a full recovery and full use of the leg is expected. You guys are awesome!

**UPDATE** Sammy (first photo) will have his surgery tomorrow we have reached the $1800. THANK YOU
As I ask you for donations today for a dog caught yesterday we want to share some history and what we do. We work close with Independent rescuer Kristi Hendricks. Current dog had a broken Femur and we are waiting on a quote for surgery ($1800). This pup was hit by a car thrown around then hit again. He is in a lot of pain and surgery can't wait. Apollo has helped many dogs by trapping but nowhere near the amount that Kristi dedicates herself to help. We take in these injured and abandoned ones that she can't find owners. It is a great team effort. All captured dogs are processed through the city shelters before coming into Apollo's care. The first picture is Sammy the small injured precious boy needing immediate surgery. The rest are dogs Kristi and Apollo have helped. We can't do our volunteer work without support. Thank you for allowing us to do what we do.

Almost a year with Apollo and he was adopted today. See pictures in comments

Update: He is HW postive and seems to live men over women. Look at the progress with Ennis (named for Ennis Steel) near where he lives in abandoned warehouse. He loves giving kisses. Video in comments.

There have been multiple reports of a dog in the Heritage/Manor Hill/Crawford Farms/Arcadia Park area. We would like to establish a pattern to set up a camera and feeding location. If anyone can post sightings and times here, it would be appreciated. PLEASE DO NOT CHASE as it will push the pup out of the area.
