URGENT NEWS
**Some dogs in Montcalm are sick…we do not know what is wrong…could be Parvo, could be infections, cold?? But if the commissioners or uppers get ahold of this news they will probably insist all the dogs get put down, so please don’t go making calls to Stanton/Montcalm in a panic, as it will only harm the dogs. There are 11 dogs in the shelter right now and 2 are showing signs, and 1 we pulled has signs, and we all know what happened to Mack…so we need your help! I know this is asking a LOT from you…but there is little for options left…we cannot let them euthanize the whole kennel via barrel…so we have been offered the ability to take the 2 sick dogs to the vet and get bloodwork to find out…We need help paying medical expenses for the bloodwork as well as their treatment whatever it is. We are also getting help coordinated to get the shelter disinfected and cleaned out thoroughly. It will cost about $38/dog for bloodwork plus an additional for fecal to rule out worms and we are going to test the 2 sick dogs today so we have to pay that bill today.
We also have funds set aside for Hilda but are trying to make arrangements for her to go to a rescue and need to make sure she is medically safe too, so she may need preventative parvo medication or whatever medication is needed for the 2 sick dogs to prevent outbreaks!

We pulled Dolly on 01/08 that was another owner surrender that was NOT on PF…Dolly was a tall Walker Coonhound that was pulled and vetted to be Heartworm Positive, so we will need to treat her. This will cost about $135 which obviously dips into our pulling funds. We need to also address another dog at Last Day Dog Rescue that has also come from Stanton as HW+(Carson) so we will be raising funds to help with those 2 dogs on top of our ongoing efforts to keep the dogs safe from R&R.
If you wish to donate Directly to the rescues handling their care, please visit their websites…and just remember to put a note or memo on the donation that it is for Dolly, or Stanton dogs.

What do we need? We need a Pitbull rescue to help us with Casper…he was listed as a lab mix, but is clearly apbt and we now need a rescue to step up for him. We have fully vetted him but may have some dog aggression. If interested please contact Laurel betterhave@sbcglobal.net to work with her on coordination.

We have a ChipIn set up or email it to paypal address melissahenchen@yahoo.com

Please contact goingtothedogsmail@yahoo.com if you can or know someone who can help us save these dogs!!! We can set up an application to foster as well.
