Special Needs Dogs for Adoption Apollo Support & Rescue

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

As this was getting written we got 3 more return emails, tons of owner surrender emails and calls, tons of stray dogs needing help, owners needing help with their dogs it is never ending. We have NEVER had this many adoption returns. On top of our already maxed out facility we are really drowning

Here we are begging again... Adoptions are not picking up but the returns keep coming. With so many long time dogs to care for and all the returns we can't make it financially anymore. We need steady income, and adoptions use to be that income. We have hit the bottom for real with what feels like no hope. We are all working hard at fundraising and grant writing without much return. We have over 100 dogs due for vaccines right now or a HW test. We buy our own vaccines and test to save money but we can't even do that. We have regular monthly mortgage, van payments, vehicle insurance, electric bills, trash bills, rescue insurance. We can't pay our staff we care for over 150 dogs at the facility and over 400 animals in the rescue all together. We need steady regular sponsors or we will have to shut down. Our founder (thats me)use to support Apollo financially when times were tough but due to her own health issues she is on disability unable to work to support Apollo like she has for last 12 years. We are desperate and need support immediately or we will have to find a way to start shutting down. it's hard to keep begging. Even are facility is in need of so much work. If you have something to give even few dollars we need all the help we can get.
