Saint pup in need-kill shelter- OK
(Read 10670 times) 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7I just spoke with Amanda the ACO, and she says Amelia has done a 360. I know she means a 180, as she describes Amelia as much more energetic, interactive, eating more, etc.
It looks like Saint Rescues in the area will not be able to help, and apparently a local INSIDE home might be tough to find. Of course, as far as I am concerned, that is the only kind of home for a Saint!!
I will definitely contribute to a bribe pool if Nicole's friend can be convinced to add a furry drooling travelling companion to her plans.
I am also going to collect some basic medical supplies to ship out to this shelter, and any contributions would be helpful. There is apparently NO budget for anything as simple as Strongid or peroxide or antibiotics. So, if you have any spare supplies-- or a suggestion as to where I might get things cheap-- please let me know! They have gone above and beyond for Amelia, and they would obviously like to do more for all of their dogs- they just don't have the resources to do so.

WOW! You are an ANGEL, Heather!!!
I'm totally interested in donating to that shelter. Just let us know what we can put together.
So, Heather, WHERE ARE PICS OF THIS GIRL?!?!!? I'm dying over here!
Ok. Step 1.
Who can pull her? Paige?

Me!
We're in northeastern Oklahoma, about 1 hour north of I-40. We have a nice guest room, if a free place to stay overnight is a helpful encouragement for your friend. We could also pick up the pupper at Sand Springs and deliver her somewhere. We can probably do one overnight, if necessary.

This shelter sounds like they need everything- I think any supplies other than the most basic- like food- are purchased out of the staff's own pockets. ANYTHING- alcohol, antibiotic ointment, gauze, ear cleaner, anitibiotics, wormer, heartworm preventive, and certainly Frontline or Advantage is desperately needed.
I think lots of shelters are in this position, which is a shame. I am certain that this shelter will put these supplies to great use, and the staff continues to do way more than their jobs require to answer my incessant emails, and get Amelia the care she needs.
So, if you have any stuff you want to send directly, that would be great.. and a friend who is a vet is going to let me use her account to buy supplies at her cost to be shipped directly there. So, $ or stuff, will be put to great use.
And... Amanda is working on documents that were due in court this am... as soon as she is done, she will send pics, which I will post immediately.
I am holding my breath to see what happens next!
