Leave a Comment / By admin / October 19, 2022 Donated items for this year hit $201,797 and went to 102 different shelters and rescues! Kiva_BLH_2022-copy Kiva_BLH_2022-copy_1 We spent over $10,400 to donate KurandaPro beds to Paw Patrol Shelter, TX, Talladega Animal Control, TN, Senatobia-Tate Co. Animal Rescue, MS and Harris County Pets, TX . Beds like these, or worse, were what the dogs had been sleeping on and we shipped brand new ones. Sometimes dogs just break out of “regular” crates. Yana is one such dog at Rescue Heals, GA. We sent this “Houdini” crate to keep her safely contained. The elementary school in Lechter County, KY flooded. As part of our “healing people” mission, we sent $300 in new books for the students. Change a Life Dog Rescue, CT needed a logo canopy to attract attention at events to get more dogs adopted. We donated 52 Apple Air Tags to National Newfoundland Rescue so that dogs like Benny can be tracked if lost. We sent shipments like this of fleece blankest to Beaver County Humane, PA, Funny Farm Rescue, NJ, and Dog Days Rescue, GA. We shipped over $5000 in winter coats to rescues in VA, NJ, TN, and PA. This disinfecting foot & shoe tray was donated to Big Fluffy Dog Rescue to contain a parvo outbreak in their kennel and prevent further contagion. Dogs like Sato at Rescue Heals, GA aren’t happy about surgery when they need it, but they’re less UNHAPPY with our donated soft cones for healing. Vintage Racers for Rescue, VA goes through a LOT of puppy pads, so we halped out with 750 XL pads. Dog transports are critical to shelters and their ability to get dogs to adoptive homes and to/from vets, etc. Safety is an overriding concern, so we outfitted the vans at the Sylacauga Animal Shelter in AL, Rescue Heals in GA, AND Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in TN with Ruffland crates. There’s not much more important than keeping the staff and dogs safe on transport runs. We supplied a set of brand new tires to the van at Sylacauga Animal Shelter, AL. Our mission is Healing Dogs & Their People, so during the frigid winter we shipped $3600 of thermal socks to the Lynn Shelter MA and Soles for Socks, WV. We shipped 30 heavy slip leads to the Moundsville WV Animal Shelter as they were seriously in need of supplies. WE once again participated in the Fill a Bus Project through Operation Yellow Ribbon so send care packages to troops overseas. This is Tito receiving an eye exam at the Humane Society of Putnam County , TN. We donated a PanOptic opthalmoscope. The Brookline Lab Rescue in PA takes in many anxious dogs. We donated several dozen lickimats for their fosters to use to ease the transition and relax them. Periodic updates let us know how much they are appreciated. Dogs like this one at the Born Again Rescue & Kennel, TN are ALWAYS hoping we will ship more food. And we do. To support front line workers during and in the aftermath of Covid, we enlisted restaurants across the country to donate meals. Several that stepped up in a big way were Bub & Pop’s, DC and The Dotted Lime, TN. We support The Seeing Eye with monthly shipments of food for trainees like Geppetto. We donated over $1250 in collars & leashes to veterans with WNY Heroes, and to New Leash on Life, PA for inmates to foster/train dogs. Another of the veterans’ groups that we support with dog food is Rescue Pets Serving Vets, PA. This is a photo following the truck departing having delivered a typical pallet of 1600 lbs. of food.
