We are reaching out to people who might know of volunteer organizations, school kids, senior volunteers or anyone else who may have time to help us with an interesting situation. Three weeks ago 30+ dogs were rescued from a very bad situation in Eagar, AZ. Those dogs were rescued and transported to Phoenix, where they are at University Vets in Tempe. The dogs are looking for foster homes and while people are trying to place them in foster homes, they need people who can come down and walk them, spend time throwing a ball, and giving them treats.
Two to three people have been doing the job of several and are close to burn out in terms of trying to help these pooches. An hour a couple of times a week could make a difference in socializing these dogs and actually saving their lives. We’re looking for people who would be willing to go down to the Vet hospital and spend some time in the outdoor recreation area with these animals.
This could be a great project for student groups, volunteer groups, etc. We’re reaching out to people that don’t normally get the constant barrage of emails to save animals in hopes that you may have the time, inclination, and ideas of how we can help with this small task. Do you have any interest? If so contact myself at this email address or by phone: 480-951-1882; or Julia Wesley (juliawesley@cox.net).
Also, if you know someone who would like to foster a dog for a week or two, while people find homes for these incredible dogs, please feel free to let us know that as well.
