So Many Were Saved from Dire Straits This winter has been one of the harshest we have faced in many years, complete with ice storms and temperatures that plummeted below zero. The media warned us not to go out unless it was absolutely necessary, due to the dangerously frigid temperatures. What were these people thinking, when it came to their poor pets? This is just a sampling of the many animals we have helped this winter that were in dire straits. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you for your generosity. Your contributions were a Godsend, to so many animals brought to TLC. We were able to provide numerous cats and dogs the chance for a happy future, but even though so many were saved, there are many more animals out there in dire straits and in need ofTLC. It's an ongoing effort but with your help we can change their lives. The Bertha Fund has been a life saver to a multitude of animals throughout the years... animals that had more extensive health concerns. Sometimes litters of puppies and kittens that are brought to TLC have come from some very bad conditions, and are not always in the best of health. The Bertha Fund helps us in paying for the antibiotics and other medications needed to get these animals healthy. The time and money involved is it worth especially when it brings about a happy ending... A little puppy by the name of Enzo ( pictured below) was one of those cases. ![]() I just wanted to let you know, Enzo, whom we got as a baby, is doing realIy well, and is a happy healthy playful puppy. He got realIy ill at first with pneumonia, worms and a nasty cough, but the staff at TLC worked reaIly hard to help get him well. I wanted to thank them so much for all the time and effort they put into taking care of him. Enzo is a really smart guy and listens really well. I attribute that to his sense of appreciation for all of the humans that helped him stay in this world so we could love him. Thank you! Becky, Tony and Family ![]() This year's open house was extra special! Randy Johnson who has an in with Santa Claus, got the jolly fella to make a special appearance at TLC's Christmas Open House along with Santa's buddy Ozzie the Golden Retriever who is also part of the VIP group. The stockings the animals had hung with care were filled with goodies brought in by so many kind hearted people, It was an enjoyable afternoon for one and all. We also want to thank Amy, Lisa and Mary Ann Lukas, Judy Kunkel, Annie Coleman, Josh and Michelle Chalifoux who made sure everyone had a good time. Postage costs how much? YlKES! With postage rates skyrocketing, just as with everything else, we are trying to cut costs in order to save money needed to help the animals. We hope that you know that we appreciate your donation, but if your canceled check is sufficient please check the box on the return envelope, that says no acknowledgement necessary. Every penny saved is just more money that we can use to help the animals! |
