Save A Life

 

 

Saving a Life, One Month at a Time

How would you feel if YOU could save an innocent life?


How good would it make you, your group or club, your sorority or fraternity, your classmates, your company and/or friends to know, with certainty, that you were responsible for saving the life of a previously unwanted dog who otherwise would not have stood a chance? Pretty darn good???? Well, here's your chance.

Mutt Love Rescue, "Mutts," is a no-kill, all-volunteer group whose experienced volunteers banded together in April 2010 with the mission of spending virtually every nickel raised directly on the medical care and temporary housing of the dogs we take in pending each of his or her placement in loving, responsible homes.  With your help, we can do so much more, save so many more lives.

We rely heavily on foster homes to care for our dogs until permanent homes can be found. Unfortunately, however, there aren't enough foster homes available for all the dogs we take in.
Thanks to the generosity of several excellent kennels and vet offices, Mutt Love Rescue has been able to board our dogs at the greatly reduced rate of $15 a day or $450 a month — time enough, on average, to move a dog through Mutts to his or her forever home. Therefore, each $450 you raise and donate to Mutts -- which will be placed in an account dedicated solely to boarding expenses -- translates into a life you have saved, guaranteed, the life of a dog to whom we would otherwise have had to say, "sorry." So please, plan those car washes and yard and bake sales, talk with your friends about joining you in donating and/or organizing a fund-raiser -- get those creative ideas flowing. Business managers and owners, please consider supporting a valuable resource to your community. Join with us in saving those who can't help themselves.

 

Participants in the program will, if they wish and with their consent, be placed on an Honor Roll of Angels on our website, www.muttloverescue.org Mutt Love Rescue is a Section 501(c) (3) organization and all donations are deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Thank you.

 

If you are able to join our team of Angels, please send your check or money order to Mutt Love Rescue, PO Box 1005, Fairfax, VA 22038 or, if you prefer, you may pay by credit card through PayPal on our website (above). Either way, please specify if you would like your name/s posted on Mutts’ website and, if so, how you would like the posting to read, e.g., your name/s or group’s name, company logo, “in honor/memory of,” etc. Feel free to contact us at adopt@muttloverescue.org with any questions.

In memory of Butterbean from Barbara Jahreis

We just couldn't get Butterbean out of our minds. Her online photo confirmed her description, that she was an older stray lab, in bad shape and in pain. We had to give her a chance. We found upon her arrival that the
description and photo were all too accurate. She was taken directly to our vet who put her on pain meds, and shortly after, to a neurologist for a lengthy consultation and MRI. While Butter was under anesthesia, her
prognosis was discussed and the report was not good -- she was found to have a torn ACL, at least two ruptured discs, an apparently long-standing, ongoing infection in her spinal cord, and the part of her spleen the doctor could see was significantly abnormal and probably cancerous. We very sadly made the decision not to wake her from the anesthesia. We take a tiny measure of comfort from the fact that she didn't die on a cold shelter floor, was loved, and would have been made well had we had the power.

Jimbo -- 20?? to 4-10-14

Sponsored by Barbara B. Jahreis in memory of Steven beagle and Toby

Jimbo belonged to Mutt Love at the end of his life.

I am of course saddened that Jimbo did not make it to a happy recovery. But I am gladdened that at the end, he was our dog and he went to the rainbow bridge already much loved by Mutts' members. That is the kind of group I want to belong to. Not afraid to risk their hearts on rescuing the sad, broken dogs and to give them love and a chance at the end. I hope Jimbo will be on our Save a Life page so we may remember him. The board members and transporters have great courage to help dogs when we can to recovery or to a peaceful passing. Mutt Love means just that -- great love even when our hearts can be broken; we do not ignore the dogs asking for one more chance, no matter how slim. Please continue this valuable work and not be discouraged. The other groups were afraid to step up. Today, victory from neglect, pain and being unwanted was ours and Jimbo's. Please share this message of hope and not defeat. Barbara J.
