Hello all!!! My apologies that we haven't been posting.....things have been absolutely crazy with trying to fix up my house, signing paperwork.....and going to see houses for myself and my kids.....and making offers....this is
Will be the 4th home I purchase but man I do not remember it being this stressful and this emotional! I sell my house, and then things fall through with the house that we were going to buy, and now I'm freaking out thinking about my kids, and I living in a cardboard box under a bridge, because we're gonna be homeless… Lol....no I know that wont happen but it's still super stressful!

On top of trying to figure out where the heck were gonna be living, we have been desperately trying to find homes for the dogs that we currently have in our rescue, and I am very stressed. We
had 2 m&gs set up but both Jack AND Storm got ghosted....so frustrating!!! So its crunch time....weve got to find homes for Tatum, Jack, and storm ASAP!

Below is our sweet Jack..... he's all up to date with rabies, neutered, crate trained, and does wonderful with both male and female dogs. He does have a little bit of barrier aggression, but once that barrier is gone, he's absolutely wonderful! And if anybody understands barrier aggression, it's a façade… And the second I tell him to knock it off, his ears go back, and he lowers his head, and no, he's not supposed to LOL! He's roughly 2 years old and while he does get along with both male and female dogs, I would prefer that he goes with a female only to avoid potential problems. Though if somebody was interested and had a male dog, we could definitely do a m&g. Jack has been with me for a while now and if I did not have the three that I have now, he would absolutely be my dog! He is by far the sweetest, most affectionate, snuggly, lovable GSD,. I have been around in a long time. He just wants to be with people and love on them!!! PLEASE help us get him adopted. We have reduced our adoption fee from the $495 down to $395… If you or anyone you know is interested, please message us immediately so that we can find a home for him and or the others.

Ohhh and lastly we desperately need towels, sheets, blankets or anything we
Can use for kennel linens.... please message the page if you have any to donate to us! That would be very much appreciated!

And let's see if we can get Jack adopted ASAP. Be back later on! Thank you all!

Heard from PAW this morning and they did say we have a credit....but couldn't tell me how much or who....they were swamped....the vet has agreed that Tatum most likely has an infection and the doxy is working so fingers crossed....unfortunately we will need to bring Kai in so we STILL need donations....with that being said, tomorrow, YES tomorrow is my 50th birthday!! How crazy is that??!! Soooo because we have an amazing e board filled with amazing female entrepreneurs....we are going to do a little something different....we are going
To put together a great basket of goodies for the first person to donate $50 in light of my birthday!! And we potentially have someone who made a comment on my personal page that they would potentially be willing to MATCH the $50 donation!!!! How awesome is that!!?? So in light of the fact that we need donations, we are once again asking for people to call into PAW and make make your donation there.....we've GOT to make sure we have Kai's visit covered....with the $ we raised for Tatum we will use that for her and for Jack's UTD vaccines....we do ALSO have to get Tatum his updated vaccines as well once he's off the doxy.....pls help us all!!

PAW is 845-473/0358

Ahhhh I can't keep doing this to my body or I'm gonna end up in the hospital! However, I am once again up at 3 AM as I am stressing about having enough money, for not only Tatum now, but Kai. I cannot wait to unload this house and finally have some money in the bank! I'm sorry I keep having to come to you guys and asking for everybody to please donate, as before, I would have no problem covering any outstanding expenses, but at this juncture with everything with the house and expenses, I just don't have a single extra penny. With that being said, while Tatum is doing much much better, and I do feel strongly at this point that he had some sort of infection going on and the Doxy is taking care of that, he absolutely needs to get the thumbs up from the vet. additionally, I am heartbroken to inform people that Kai is not doing well at all. She absolutely needs to get to the vet this week and it is not looking good. I hate to keep asking and begging for money, but we are just in a position right now, like 10,000 other nonprofit animal rescues, who just don't have any extra funds. I get it, believe me I get it because I am in the same boat financially like everybody else, this economy is killing us! However, animals don't stop needing us in our dogs. Need us right now. With that being said, I am really really hoping that come tomorrow morning at 9 AM, we will have enough money on our account for both dogs to be seen. As we've mentioned many times over the last couple of days, the best way to make a donation is calling PAW directly at 845-473-0358. This way there's no issues with the spelling of our platform handles or potentially getting scammed again. However, if you'd prefer to make a donation via a platform, please, double and triple check your spelling to make sure it's spelled correctly.

Lastly, as I did inform everybody, the heat once again is back in New York, and we desperately, desperately need another AC unit in our kennel. Aside from that, we are extremely low on dog food, and sheets, towels, blankets, etc. If anybody has any extras to drop off, please message the page. I'll be happy to give you our address. I am once again linking our Amazon wish list, if anybody is willing and able, we would love to get that AC unit, and or a few bags of food. I promise this will not be forever when I am constantly begging for money, we've just got to get through until I can offload this house and start fresh. At this juncture, I'm asking everybody to not let us down, and help us with supporting Tatum and Kai. They deserve us!

Soooo I am on pins and needles!! For the life of me I swear I need a vacation...I am cautiously optimistic as Tatum has gotten a TON better over the last 48 hours. He IS on Doxy so my thoughts are that he did have some sort of infection somewhere in his body and the doxy is curing it....I still plan on bringing him in as I need to confirm he actually is on the mend....unfortunately Kai is not doing well so we will have to bring her in also....so if you planned pm helping with Tatum, we STILL need
Your help ans we'd really prefer you donate directly to PAW. All you need to do is call them @ 845/473/0358 and make a direct donation....this was there's no issues with the spelling or our handle and the donation actually gets there.

Lastly. We DO need food and we DO need another AC unit....this week it's going to get hot again and the one AC I bought isn't enough....I added the least expensive ones to our Amazon Wish List if anyone wants to help us....also we have a variety of food and prices ans ALL food I have selected is decent kibble.....if anyone can help, PLEASE do!!

Thank you for all your support and help. If yoi still want to make a donation but using our platforms, pls DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CK THE SPELLING OF OUR HANDLES!

OK guys we're down to only $250 left to raise! Thank you so much to those who gave! There's so many people to thank just know how much we appreciate it. Right now my main concentration is raising the remaining $250. We have raised so much more on such less timeframe, that I know that we can do this. We have no choice but to get this boy fixed up and helped to find his forever home!! Let's get him fixed yall!!

The best way to donate and the method you prefer is a direct call. PAW at 845-473-0358. They do not open until 9 AM on Monday morning, and appointment is at 9 AM. I absolutely need to leave it till last minute, as I am literally relying on people to make that payment and hope that we will have enough for his x-rays, but it is the method we prefer. Secondly, you can make a payment to two of the platform. I asked that you please double triple check your spelling to make sure that our handles are spelled correctly seeing as how we've gotten taken advantage of and many of you have been scammed! I hope karma bites them hard!!!

Below are our platforms:

We've raised tonssssssss more than that!! PLEASE help us...I would TOTALLY use my own $, but I just don't have it now....with the money needed to fix the wear and tear in the kennel I just don't have the extra funds for Tatum....so we REALLY need our supporters to PLS help us.

We are only short $300. To donate, you can do two ways, you can make a donation through our platforms which are below. Or our preferred method is that you call into our vet hospital, PAW at 8454730358 and make a direct donation to our account. If you choose to pay via our platform, please, double and triple check the handle spelling to make sure that it doesn't go to those dirtbags who scammed our supporters!

Ok guys!!! We are on a roll!!! So Tatum is home with me and we had to pass on his X-rays....BUT because we have an INCREDIBLE e board, we were able to push some meds to see if maybe we can figure this out...thank you to Heather and Holly and to Caroline for their incredible knowledge! And thank you to Creations for Donations by Adrienne (GSD rescue fundraising), Adrienne Lelli!! She PAID off our first bill!! Thank you to everyone who bought her incredible items, as that $ was used today to help Tatum!!

Now we need to keep this going as we've got to figure out what is going on with him. He was given sub q fluids and doxy. He was negative for HW and for any tick borne diseases....he also has great blood work....so what the heck is going on!!??!! Nonetheless we've got to figure this out....with that being said, the vet is seeing Tatum having issues breathing....so he wants chest X-rays...sooooooo below is the estimate....yes it's a lot but we do not need several of those items, so my best guess is we need to raise $500....I am overjoyed to inform everyone that we have amazing supporters and we've already gotten over $200!! So with that being said, we are only seeking another $300....that is so achievable!!

If you'd like to donate, you can wait till Monday and call in directly to PAW at 845/473/0358, which is what we'd prefer. OR you can donate to one of our platforms. But PLEASE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CK THE SPELLING OF OUR HANDLES AS WE DID HAVE MANY SUPPORTERS WHO WERE SCAMMED OUT OF THEIR HARDWORKING MONEY!!

$300 is all we need to get Tatum how much needed diagnostic testing! Pls let's keep this donation train going and get this boy fixed up and adopted to his forever home!

Thank you to ALL of you who donated! We are TRULY BLESSED!!

Ok guys....we heard from PAW....Tatum is having issues breathing....and the vet wants to do some extra testing, which includes X-rays....witn the X-rays he also needs to be sedated with them....our bill right now is close to $600 and we don't even have the $200 yet....so I'm coming here now asking for everyone's help....the clinic WILL take donations over the phone...so I'm asking everyone to PLS donate whatever you can.....if it's $2, it's $2!! EVERY PENNY COUNTS. They don't yet have an idea of what's going on, but I feel as if we need to make some life changing decisions, we need to have ALL the info!!! I know we're asking a lot....but I can't make decisions without having ALL the diagnostic procedures done.....

If you want to donate to our platforms instead....PLEASE MAKE SURE ITS SPELLED CORRECTLY! Thr easiest way is to call PAW @845/473/0358 and make a donation on our account.....or on the platforms below.....PLS help us!!!

Hello all....so it's 330am and I'm wide awake as I'm stressin over the fact that we did not get ANY donations for Tatum's visit which is in about 4 hours....HOWEVER I am overjoyed to inform everyone, and to THANK Jacqulyn for her incredible support by paying off the remaining $108 at our vet hospital, PAW. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU JACQULYN!!

I'm coming to you guys now seeing how it's FRIDAY and we DESPERATELY need a $5 FRIDAY FUNDRAISER!! So PLS help. As I informed everyone, since this is an organization I founded and am the president of, I have always felt that if need be I would always use my OWN personal $ to support our team, pups, etc. HOWEVER in light of the fact that my house needed to be fixed with the wear and tear in our kennel space, and we did NOT meet the goal of $2k, I HAD to use my own funds, THUS leaving ABSOLUTELY nothing in case of an emergency. Unfortunately, I just don't have it guys!! SO PLEASE!! I need EVERYONE ON BOARD TODAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE TO PLEASE ALLOW US TO GET, at least $200 on our account for Tatum. I do not know what is going on with him, however he ABSOLUTELY MUST be seen today!!

Additionally BECAUSE of the situation where someone created a user name very similar to ours, we did not raise the goal of the $50 for our AC unit.

EVERYONE, WE NEED YOU AND NEED YOU ALL TODAY. Pls do not make me have to cancel Tatam's appointment!! We only have a few hours to raise this $ and I am COUNTING ON YOU ALL!! Pls do not fail Tatum!! We just need few dollars from a lot of you and if you can't do $5, pls SEND WHAT YOU CAN, EVERY PENNY COUNTS!!

How to PAY!!!!

3 ways:
VENMO: Stephanies_Shepherds
PAYPAL: fortheluvofGSDs
PLEASE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CK YOUR SPELLINGS OF OUR HANDLES AS WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT and can't afford for the despicable person who created handles close to ours to get your hard earned $!!

LASTLY AND THE WAY ID PREFER:
CALL PAW @845/473/0358 and make a donation over the phone. We have apts coming up for Jack and Storm next week also, and so we will ALWAYS use those donations!!! It's the easiest way and you know the $ is going to the dogs and their care.

PLEASE EVERYONE!! We need all hands on deck to get Tatum's visit paid for and we desperately need an AC unit. Pls make your $5 donation today or whatever amount you can.

THANK YOU ALL!!!
