Just a little PSA …
Right now rescue is in a very tough place. Animal surrenders, strays, etc. are at an all time high. EVERY rescue is full. EVERY rescue is stressed. EVERY rescue wishes they could do more.
Now more than ever we need to be working together. Just a few examples of how other rescues have helped us …
Last week we were asked to take two kittens. We had no available fosters. IMMEDIATELY, our friends at White Oak Animal Safe Haven jumped in to take them.
Two weeks ago, we were low on food. Our friends at Paws Across Pittsburgh loaded us up with a donation that will last us months.
East Coast Bulldog Rescue fosters cats for us.
Pet Friends has graciously donated TONS of towels, blankets, toys, leashes, etc.
Frankie's Friends Cat Rescue has taken serious medical cases we could not handle ourselves.
Gray Paws Sanctuary comes to every event we have with a huge group of people to support us.
For the record, there are NUMEROUS other rescues that have supported and worked with us. It’s impossible to name them all, but we appreciate all of our rescue partners. We are committed to helping them as well.
In general, it just needs to be remembered that we are all just doing the best we can. There are rescuers working two or three jobs, dealing with family issues, medical concerns, financial issues. Everyone’s situation is different, so we need to be understanding. If a rescue doesn’t respond immediately, give them the benefit of the doubt. There’s a good chance they’re dealing with another similar situation.
We are a small, newer rescue, and we truly appreciate the veterans that have helped us along the way. Our goal is to provide the best care to the animals we take in. That means that sometimes we say no, sometimes emails and messages may be unread for a day or two, and we care more about quality than quantity.
Thank you again to everyone that supports our mission!
