🐾💙 RESCUE EXPENSES DON'T STOP WHEN A DOG ARRIVES! 💙🐾

❤️ We want to share another important part of what your donations and support help us cover — SPAY AND NEUTER SURGERIES! 🩺🐶

Every adult dog adopted through Dog Is My Shepherd Rescue & Rehab is already spayed or neutered.

🐾 Puppies who are too young at the time of adoption are NOT forgotten! Their spay or neuter surgery is still covered by our rescue once they reach the appropriate age.

🌸💗 NOVEMBER — 7 SPAY SURGERIES ALREADY SCHEDULED! 💗🌸

🐶 Princess — November 5
🐶 Tosha — November 5
🐶 Arcana — November 9
🐶 Patches — November 10
🐶 Daisy — November 10
🐶 Louise — November 11
🐶 Layla — November 16

All seven girls have their appointments scheduled for November! ❤️

🐾💜 AND MORE TO FOLLOW! 💜🐾

As our younger puppies continue maturing and become ready for surgery, our next group will include:

💕 Liliana
💕 Dodo
💕 Lucille
💕 Axel
💕 Winnie
💕 Maya
💕 Mandy

💙 These are additional medical expenses our rescue covers, beyond transportation, health certificates, crates, food, and everyday care.

Every dog we commit to remains our responsibility, including the medical care we promise to provide. ❤️🐾

🌷 We will continue updating everyone as these surgeries are completed and additional appointments are scheduled!

❤️ Thank you for helping us continue providing the care our dogs need!

🐾 Critical
🐾 Memphis

Your dedication, hard work, and determination to bring attention to dogs who desperately need help are absolutely invaluable!

Without your efforts to share their stories, connect rescuers, and bring people together, so many lives would never get that second chance. ❤️

Lucille is one of those lives, and we are so grateful you helped make her rescue possible! 🐶💕

💖 TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED — THANK YOU!

Because of people like you, another precious life has been saved. Lucille now has the opportunity for the future she deserves. 🏡🐾

With love and gratitude,

🐾💙 WHERE DO YOUR DONATIONS GO? LET’S EXPLAIN!

When Dog Is My Shepherd Rescue & Rehab commits to saving a dog, we honor that commitment whether pledges and donations come in or not! If funds fall short, we cover expenses from our rescue reserves.

❤️ Fundraisers help replenish those reserves so we can save the NEXT dog!

🚐 WHAT DOES IT COST TO BRING ONE DOG FROM OUT OF STATE?

📄 Health certificate (CVI): $80–$130 per dog, PLUS any additional medical care needed to obtain it.

🚐 Transportation: Approximately $75–$100 per dog. Even though we transport the dogs ourselves, transportation isn't free! A trip typically costs $400–$500, with gasoline alone costing at least $350.

🏠 Brand-new crate for the foster home: Approximately $70.

🥣 Bag of food: Approximately $65.

💰 That's approximately $290–$365 PER DOG for basic expenses! Additional supplies and necessities are covered by our rescue.

🐾 PLEDGES VS. FUNDRAISERS — WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

🤝 Pledges are promises of financial support for a specific dog. Until those pledges are honored, the rescue has not received the money.

❤️ Fundraisers help us cover expenses and replenish the funds already spent saving dogs. Sometimes fundraisers reach their goals, sometimes they don't.

Pledgers are always welcome to donate directly through our fundraisers so everyone can see the contributions. Transparency matters!

🐶 REAL EXAMPLES FROM OUR RECENT RESCUES:

✅ Lucille: Her fundraiser was fully funded.

✅ Michelle: No fundraiser.

✅ Our first group of four puppies: No fundraiser! We covered their expenses entirely from rescue funds. Mandy has already been adopted, while James, Trina, and Dina are in foster homes.

🚐 Our second group of puppies: We currently have an ACTIVE fundraiser. Gina is safe in a Memphis foster home and will be transported to Illinois, where she already has an adopter. We are on our way to pick up the remaining puppies, including Buddy, with a veterinary appointment arranged for their health certificates (CVIs).

💙 Each puppy costs approximately $300 just to get into our care with basic necessities.

THE IMPORTANT PART:

When we commit to a dog, that dog is OUR responsibility, regardless of whether fundraising succeeds.

When you donate to a fundraiser, you're helping us cover that commitment and restore the reserves that allow us to say YES to another dog who needs saving.

🚨 URGENT — 5 SHEPHERD PUPPIES NEED OUR HELP! 🚨

🐾 Gina • Buddy • Mitchell • Doggy • Shonuff

These five puppies were facing euthanasia tomorrow, October 30, at Memphis Animal Services.

❤️ WE SECURED AN EXTENSION UNTIL MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2!

We now have just a few days to raise the funds necessary to arrange their transportation to Illinois, health certificates, any additional vaccinations, crates, food, and travel supplies.

🎯 FUNDRAISING GOAL: $1,500 — ONLY $300 PER PUPPY!

Dog Is My Shepherd Rescue & Rehab is working to get all five puppies to safety, but we need your help to make it happen.

⏰ WE HAVE UNTIL MONDAY!

🙏 Please donate whatever you can and SHARE! We need to make every one of these next few days count.

🏡 FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!

We have already secured foster homes for two of these puppies, but we are still looking for foster homes for the remaining three! If you can open your home to one of these puppies and help us make this rescue possible, please complete our foster application.
