Hey guys. As some of you know, I volunteer for a local no-kill non-profit animal shelter called Caring for Creatures here in Fluvanna County. The way things stand now, we are currently over capacity in terms of the number of dogs that the shelter can hold, and take care of in monetary terms. This past weekend, a bit of an emergency arose. There was a local couple who had taken in over 100 (yes... one hundred) dogs and probably around 20 cats over the course of their lives, and the husband passed away on Saturday. The wife, being elderly, is no longer able to take care of the animals, and "surrendered" the animals to CFC. Long story short, we need all the help we can get.
If you or someone you know is looking to adopt a dog, please let me know and I can get you in touch with the shelter. If you have a few extra bucks, or a few extra bags of dog food, collars, leashes... anything... the shelter can use any help they can get. Please also pass along word to anyone that you know who might be able to help. This shelter and the animals have become a very important part of my life- I wouldn't ask for your help otherwise.
My e-mail is <!-- e --><a href="mailto:jess@jchapin.net">jess@jchapin.net</a><!-- e -->, and my IM is JessicaRabbit79.
Thank you for any little thing that you can do- every little bit helps, y0.
