<div>As I approach my milestone 40th birthday and my 10th anniversary doing animal rescue, my goal this year is to highlight some of the recent dog rescues that I've been a part of and need support with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m doing this fundraiser through Starts With One Today so that those of you who donate can get a tax write off. There are a couple of our amazing rescue peers that are helping find some of the dogs homes too, so the funds will follow a dog to whatever rescue helps them find their homes. We have helped so many dogs find happy homes and we want the same for these angels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are 7 dogs. 5 dogs are here in LA and 2 are in Mexico, which I will want to bring to LA once 2 of the 5 here are placed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**** All of these dogs were pulled from awful situations where humans failed them and literally left for dead. They have never been trained or have been shown affection and structure. Because of their lack of training, most of these dogs will need training assessments to be placed in proper foster homes/ forever homes. Anyone who has ever invested in training, will know that it comes at a hefty price if you're working with experienced and reliable trainers. An assessment is roughly $200 and if the dog needs ongoing training, a month of board and training is roughly $3,000 ****
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are the angels that need help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>#1 - These two dogs were found in an abandoned Compton parking lot. They weren't being fed, had no water, and were relying on one another to stay safe, We rescued them during one of the severe rain storms. They were soaking wet and scared but THRILLED to be safe. They are unfortunately in boarding now and deserve to feel what it's like to be in proper homes with cushy beds showered with love.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>#2 Big Mac was saved off Skid Row after living on a heavy chain since he was a puppy. He's also in boarding and needs to feel the comfort of a real home. He has big puppy energy and has so much love to give.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>#3 We rescued Lena from Downtown LA where she had just had a litter and was so sick from her body being infected that she was unable to feed her babies. Her babies survived and now it's her turn. We also urgently rescued Oreo and Buttercup who were both tied to a gate for three weeks starving to death in Compton. Oreo is in boarding and Buttercup is in an amazing foster's house that needs a forever home.

</div>
<div>#4 These two stray dogs from Puerto Vallarta were languishing on the streets. One has a broken leg and one had rotting bite marks on his head. I got them both to a vet and are healing. I don’t want them back on the streets and would love to find a home in LA or a rescue in LA or Puerto Vallarta.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>#5 A vet in Puerto Vallarta I met has rented an area for homeless dogs to live in. But he’s behind on his rent. Since he works at a vet, these dogs get ongoing vet care but the sanctuary is VERY bare bones. He needs supplies and money for rent and I would love to help him with that.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>#6 A husky was living under a car in South LA and terrified to get out. He is covered in ticks and needs to be brought to a vet for care. He is in a temp foster now and needs assessment and a home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80533451_1717465769350467_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise enough money to get some of these dogs to set them up for success and find them amazing homes. Some of these dogs have PTSD from being abused from their previous owners so the donation will be used for training.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know that this is a hefty sum of money to be aiming for. That said, here is a breakdown of what it can cost to rescue ONE dog who is HEALTHY and set it up for real success. Once a dog is saved from death, the real work begins and could take MONTHS.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Supplies (bed, crate, collar, leash, bowls, poop bags, toys, treats, food, bones). ($400-500)
</div>
<div>Basic vet exam ($60-80)
</div>
<div>Fecal ($70)
</div>
<div>Flea meds ($30-40)
</div>
<div>Urinalysis ($150)
</div>
<div>Basic Blood Panel ($150-200)
</div>
<div>Ear infection meds and or antibiotics ($40-80)
</div>
<div>Training Assessment ($200)
</div>
<div>1 week of boarding ($350)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the High end $1670-- this gets a dog the proper supplies it needs, a boarding/holding spot for ONE week, and an assessment for a trainer. Again- this is ONE dog, who has NO health issues- which there are ALWAYS health issues even if it's as minor as an infection, or as severe as a broken leg.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything you guys can spare will make my year!! Thank you to ALL of you who continue to support my dream of helping EVERY animal on this planet!
