We were successful this past
year in making contacts to transport
animals that had been in our shelter for
years and also dogs that were on death
row. Thanks to Connie and David Guthrie,
with Save Our Strays, who have been
transporting animals from Oklahoma to
Minnesota for over a year. They opened
the door for us and made this dream come
true.
We have transported over 210 dogs to
Minnesota. We have had few returned
back to us. If we can continue this mission,
think of the lives saved. This is a very
expensive mission. The animals have to
be vaccinated, heartworm tested, and with
the cost of transport, it is around $50.00
per animal. We are currently looking for
volunteers to make the 18 plus hour round
trip to find the perfect forever homes for
these animals that don’t have that chance
in our area.
Reality...The numbers of unwanted
and abandoned pets in Delaware County
are staggering. Please talk to your City
Councilmen and County Commissioners
about a spay/neuter ordinance. Without
laws passed and upheld, we will have
these unwanted animals abandoned, shot,
or left to starve.
Only because of your support can the
Humane Society continue to care for these
animals until a loving home can be found
for them. They all deserve that chance.
