ON ADOPTED DOGS!
Happy Hound Rescue of Minnesota
Greetings from all those happy hounds out there! We will be sending out monthly updates on the happenings at HHR. If you are not interested just delete or if you want to be removed, just let me know. First, the great news that 350 dogs were adopted in 2009! That is an average of 6.75 dogs per week! (Right, how do you measure a quarter of a dog!) We REALLY appreciate all our volunteers, supporters, drivers, fosters, vet clinics and of course you adopters who have saved so many dogs in the past year. And so far 15 dogs have been adopted in January with several adoptions pending.
We were thrilled that you contributed just over $2000 in donations in the month of December. That really helped reduce our vet bill. We spent about $125,000 on vet care last year and are constantly dealing with sick or injured dogs.
Right now we are trying to raise enough money to repair Gandhi's badly dislocated ankle. We have raised $900 so far, spent $370 on his neuter, vetting and x-ray, and need another $1300 so he can have his surgery. I'm attaching a couple of pictures of Gandhi who is in foster care with George, our wonderful bully breed foster. Thankfully Gandhi is recovering from being starved and left to die outside in the snow when he was rescued in December. If anyone cares to make a donation of any amount to help Gandhi, you can click on the Donate button. I'll credit Gandhi's account and promptly send you a receipt for tax purposes.
Thank you all again for your contributions to dog rescue. We LOVE seeing pictures of your rescued dogs, and I always try to send these updates to the shelter volunteers who saved them, the drivers who transported them and to the foster who took care of them.
