On the eve of Giving Tuesday 2015
Well TDL, it is that time of year. Giving Tuesday. I know we often call for donations, but Giving Tuesday is different. The donations given on this day support our rescue through the year and not only keep the doors open but the dogs out of the shelters! Since 2009 we have rehomed over 1,029 dogs. Most came from shelters, but some were owner surrenders, strays, and canine connect candidates. This year we overcame a lot. Before 2015 even began our foundation was shaken when our beloved Gisele suffered a heart attack and a long recovery. Through it all, the adoptions did not stop. This was thanks to hard work of Gisele and her family, our awesome volunteers, and those who support us through every storm. Several times we have questioned how we will continue our fight for dogs on death row, but every time hope seems lost, our volunteers and supporters come through. So here we sit on the eve of our biggest day where we see what support we will have for coming into 2016, and we’re the first to admit, we are nervous. It is like awaiting the birth of a child (or puppy) and wondering what the future will hold for it. Your one-time donations and your commitment to monthly donations through virtual foster are what makes it possible for us to say yes when we get the call in the 11th hour that there is a litter of puppies, or a dog with special needs who needs out of the shelter immediately. If you are currently considering donating, or have donated to us in the past, I want to take a minute to say thank you. The dogs you see on this page are alive because of your generosity. Without your support our hands are often financially tied, and it is by far the most frustrating and heartbreaking obstacle we face. Thank you for supporting us as we continue to charge toward the birth of what The Dog Liberator will be in 2016.
