Well… here we are again. ❤️🐾
We’ve been pretty quiet the last few weeks, and honestly, we needed some time to reset. September took a lot out of our team, emotionally, physically, and financially.
Last month, we headed into our rescue mission planning to bring 45–55 dogs to safety. Thanks to all of you, we met our fundraising goal with just $20 to spare! But as things often go in rescue, absolutely NOTHING went according to plan.
Neither of our transport vans was mechanically ready, which meant scrambling to secure safe replacement vehicles at an additional cost of nearly $2,000.
And that mission for 45–55 dogs? Well, 72 precious souls found their way into the arms of rescue. ❤️
We couldn’t leave them behind.
Unfortunately, making that happen meant dipping right back into the funds we had worked so hard to raise for our vans.
After taking a hard look at our finances, our volunteers’ personal commitments, and everything we have going on in October, we made the decision to send just one van on this month’s mission.
But the need has quickly grown beyond what we anticipated. And with no November transport planned, this weekend is our opportunity to get as many dogs to safety as possible before we take a much-needed break.
So, here’s where things stand.
🚐 Our white van is FINALLY ready! Our incredible friends at Schulte Subaru have completed more than $14,000 in mechanical work to get her back on the road. They’ve generously donated over $8,000 of that work, leaving us with approximately $6,000 to raise before we can bring her home.
🐾 We need another $3,500 by the end of this week to make October’s rescue mission happen and get nearly 70 dogs to safety.
That’s $9,500 in immediate needs.
And we’re realistic enough to know that raising $9,500 in just a few days is probably a pretty tall order. We also know we can’t keep asking our supporters to pull off financial miracles every month.
So we’re going to tackle this one piece at a time.
Our immediate priority is raising $3,500 to get this weekend’s dogs to safety.
Once we’ve accomplished that, we’ll turn our attention to fundraising for the van during our November transport break.
We have rescue commitments lined up. We have transporters ready to hit the road. We have partner rescues preparing to welcome these dogs.
We just need the funds to make it happen.
And that’s the part that weighs on us the most. Because while $3,500 is a lot of money to raise in a few short days, the alternative is knowing that nearly 70 dogs who have a chance at a different life may not get that opportunity.
Just $50 sponsors the freedom ride for one dog. That’s one dog who gets to leave their past behind and begin an entirely new chapter.
We know we’ve asked a lot of you lately. We know everyone has their own challenges, and we never take your generosity for granted. But we also know what this incredible community can accomplish when we come together.
