Dear Friends and Supporters of Dogs Fur Days,
We hope this message finds you and your four-legged companions well. It is with a bittersweet sentiment that we’re writing to you today to share some significant news about our journey at DFD.
Over the past nine years, we've experienced countless moments of joy and triumph, challenges, and heartwarming transformations, all of which were made possible by your unwavering support and faith in our mission. Together, we have successfully saved and enriched the lives of 503 dogs. This achievement is a testament to the power of our community, and every single one of these dogs has left a permanent paw print on our hearts.
However, the reality of sustaining such a heartfelt endeavor is complex, and despite our best efforts, we find ourselves facing two critical shortages that no rescue organization wants to confront: lack of foster homes and insufficient funding. As a result, it is with a heavy heart that we've made the difficult decision to close DFD and shift to fostering for other rescues.
We will be manually cancelling automatic PayPal payments as a part of our end of operations. The small amount of remaining funds we have will be channeled into helping low-income individuals by covering the costs of spaying and neutering their pets. This, we believe, is a fitting tribute to our ongoing commitment to the welfare of dogs, even as our chapter as an independent rescue comes to a close.
We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your time, energy, contributions, and above all, your unwavering belief in the work we were doing. We are truly grateful for your partnership.
In the future, we urge you all to continue to support local animal shelters and rescues, and never underestimate the difference your kindness can make to a dog in need.
Our social media will remain available as we wrap up operations.
We continue to look for a great home for Deuce, though he’s welcome to stay at HQ if we can’t find any takers! There will be fostering for other groups in our future!
With heartfelt gratitude,
All of us at DFD
