Support Mordex and Dog Dad in Their Time of Need

Donation protected
Mordex, a good pup, and his owners have found themselves homeless after losing their apartment. They are trying to get back up on their feet.

My name is Ktrynha Rangel and I was contacted to help find a temporary foster for Mordex and find help for his owners (Samuel and Dante Haymon). I am not related to Sam and Dante, but had the privilege of meeting them and offered to find help for them and their pupper.

Mordex's owners are brothers, 19 and 20 years old. One brother was able to get into Haven For Hope, but there's no room in the shelter's kennels, so the other brother stayed on the streets with Mordex. He will not abandon their dog. They have had Mordex since he was a week old and they bottle-fed him. He's now 2. I have gotten Mordex updated on rabies and DHPPV, and he's now microchipped. He does need to be neutered still and has an appointment for 9/20/24. Mordex's neuter will be covered by God's Dog's Recue.

Bee Pawsitive Husky Rescue has graciously offered a safe place for the youngest brother (Sam) and Mordex on their property in exchange for helping with chores and tasks on the property. They will provide food and a place to shower, etc. We need a camper, generator, and funds for gas for the generator. Ideally, we'd like to also raise funds for Mordex to be completely vetted and 4DX tested and preventatives and food, to cover the cell phone and cell service that the rescue is providing for Sam, and to put a fence and kennel up around the camper. Right now a pop-up camper is being loaned to Bee Pawsitive Husky for shelter for Sam and Mordex. As winter is approaching, a sturdier shelter will be required to keep Sam and Mordex safe. If we raise enough funds we will purchase a larger hard-sided travel trailer equipped with restroom facilities, electricity, heating and cooling. This will require an RV hookup to be installed on the property, which can cost up to 5k. Once a larger and sturdier shelter is available, we hope to have Dante move out with Sam and Mordex. Funds will be used to cover expenses for utilities for the travel trailer. Funds will also be used to acquire clothing and hygiene items, replace Sam's prescription glasses, and help with these same things for his brother. Any left-over funds will be used to purchase Sam a used vehicle and cover car insurance and gas as much as possible so that he can have a way to get to work. We hope eventually that he can share this vehicle with his brother.

While the one brother is receiving social services from Haven For Hope, Bee Pawsitive Husky Rescue will help the other brother find social services and food assistance as well. They will help Sam acquire his driver's license and have already helped him secure a job at Tractor Supply. They will help Sam, open a bank account and teach him important budgeting skills. Sam's first day working is pending his I9 verification for employment.


I'm humbly asking for the community's help in fundraising to help Mordex and his owner secure safe and comfortable refuge with the resources they need to turn their story not into another homeless statistic but into a success story. Thank you.

Update 9/12/24 - An anonymous donor provided funds so that Sam could get a generator today! With some help from my dad they got the generator up and running and we are a few steps closer to reuniting Mordex with Sam. But...Sam's brother Dante also needs help. I've updated the fundraising goal so that we can also help Dante, who is also missed by Mordex. The goal now is to help both brothers come closer to reuniting with each other and having what they need for a fresh start on their own. That includes a decent used vehicle of some sort to get from point A to point B.


9/10/24 - Sam got hired! He needs steel toe shoes and plain t-shirts and shorts for work. We have a neuter appointment for Mordex scheduled for next week and the veterinarian has graciously offered to provide the neuter for free ❤️ we are still needing a generator and Sam's glasses as well.


Update 9/10/24 - Sam (Mordex's dad) had his first interview this morning and it went great. He has a second interview this evening and fingers crossed he can start working and get on his feet. Sam still needs help with getting a generator, glasses and clothes for uniform. Please share if you can’t donate. Donate if you can gfm link below or other methods.


Update 9/9/24 - Mordex's dad has an eyeglass prescription we'd like to take care of. The prescription has been secured and the glasses are about $100. The generator is about $500 at Tractor Supply. Those are the urgent items needed right now. My dad was cleaning the inside of our camper today to get it ready to move. Thank you to those who have donated and shared. Keep sharing please!
