animal rescuers - resources - support

[Kimbo]

Dylan, what kind of resourses is she primarily needing, there are a lot out there and much competition for them. Is she 501 ? Sorry haven't cruised her site yet.

I don't really know much about animal rescues, so I don't have a detailed list of things she needs. I know feed (obviously) and donations (obviously), but other than that, I really don't know yet. I will find out next week. I start working down there on Monday. So far, I've been focusing on getting her gardens in.

She's not 501'd yet, but it's in the works. She's filled out the paperwork, and she's already got her board set up, and all that stuff. She's been funding all of this herself for the last ten years, but she can't afford to do that anymore.

And she's got the cutest mini-cow named Sweet Pea. So far, it's my favorite. I sooooooo want a mini-cow. And she's already got me not eating eggs from caged chickens. It's pretty horrid how they're treated. She's has cute demonstrations for the kids, and she showed me the one of the egg-laying cages. That's all it took. I'm sure by the end of this job, I'll be eating a lot less meat...if any at all.

thank you weatherboi, kimbo, and dylan

i did actually celebrate with the guinea pigs- ha.

dylan, i read through the site, sunny day farms, and i loved their mission, and this part about the founder,

" she started with a simple idea: give children the opportunity to meet and learn the stories of the animals and let the animals be the teachers.

Brooke has an educational background and many years of extensive animal care experience that has led her to design many zoological educational programs for other facilities. She lives happily with her loving and supporting husband David and daughters, Alora and Grace, for whom she would move mountains."


i will think of any links i might have for you to pass along to SDF. thank you for your big heart, dyaln i bet the gardening/landscaping work you do is beautiful because i have read of your passion for the outdoors.


thank you

belle

i was also wondering about the 501 status too, after looking over the site. i have info for grants, which may work for SDF, as their aim is to educate through various programs.

whenever i scheduled lecture series and wrote for sponsorship [orangutan foundation], ARCUS was a philanthropic resource available to O.F.I..

i recognise a lot of sources on the fundraising directory page.

i post the above link to show that SDF could perhaps do something like this on their own-

i love research, dylan. whenever i get my computer back, i will submit more funding sources for SDF.

[Diavolo]

Last night I got the news that a red boy I transported two years ago bloated. The damage was so bad that they let him go on the table. He was really a good dog. Godspeed Honz.

I am really sorry to hear that Diavolo.

I saw this video today. I love whales and I love dogs, evidently whales and dogs like each other too!

Sorry ya might have to watch a commercial first.

About 2 months ago a friend brought me a cat. I was asked to foster her because she and her sisters were left outside. They had been starved so bad that the two sisters expired.

She is a Himalaian Purshan and was sooo very sick.

Well I have now gotten her to eat, walk again and have decided to keep her.
Bella is her name now. And she loves the crap out of me...smiles

She has a very long way to go before her sore are better. And she doesn't have a voice. But I know what she is saying when she opens her mouth like she is meowing...lol

Her one eye is partially blind I believe as well. And I am quite sure she has a lil brain damage. But she is growing healthy by the day. And is very loveable.

Her muscles were gone by the time I got her but they are beginning to build again.

I feel so blessed she found her way to our home.

Sometimes the best things in life,
Aren't tied in pretty packages and bows...wink

I just wanted to share with all of you animal lovers...I trapped 2 of my 7 feral cats today to go get medical attention and to be spayed/neutered. They will be back on Wednesday and I pray everything goes well.
