Website
The website is finally complete! Thank you for your patience and be sure to check out the dogs and cats currently looking for a home and temporary residents that need a little time before they can be adopted into new families. If you aren’t in a position to adopt please consider sponsoring a resident and ensuring that Hope4FuzieFaniez can continue to provide safe shelter for unwanted animals and those that are at risk of being euthanized for space. We can’t save them all but with your help we can save more.
How
you can help:
The economy is affecting everyone
right now and the shelter is no exception.
We receive probably 10 calls per day asking if we can take in
animals. People are being put out of
their homes and have nowhere to take their animals. Some people with ranches in foreclosure just
leave and leave their animals behind with no one to care for them. We try to take in every single animal that we
can possibly care for, but every shelter has limits. Right now we are limited by finances. Our debts at the veterinary hospital, even
with deep discounts, are over $1,000 and we have a few little dogs that are
badly in need of dentals. We are also
limited because we cannot afford to purchase some new cages to house new
animals. We are so grateful to all of
you that help us financially and with donations. It is because of you that we can help all of the
animals that we do each month. For those
that would like to become involved, what we really need right now is regular
financial donors; people that can commit to sending us a donation each
month. Please don’t think it needs to be
a lot of money because even a five dollar bill would buy a bag of cat food each
month. You can find out more by checking
out our donation page.
Success
story:
As some of you know
Hope4FuzieFaniez is located on a horse ranch and we also take in some homeless
and unwanted horses. Gonzo was one such
horse but he’s now found a new loving family to live with. He is a 6 year old quarter horse gelding and
lives down the road with his new pasture mate.
Thank you for giving this guy another chance!
Sad
Story:
Unfortunately, our dear older shelter cat Daisy has passed away. She became ill last month but after a few days in the hospital she seemed to be back to her old self. But, we found her a few weeks later in her bed in a ray of sunlight. She apparently passed away in her sleep. She never got a chance at a new home but at least she died with people who loved her. Please give all of your furry kids an extra hug today. They are with us for such a short time and every minute is precious.
