How can you save the life of a dog? How can you impact the life of a child living in a world of daily violence?
Simple.... find 18 cents a day - and become a |

That's all it takes - 18 cents a day or a cup of coffee a week, or a sandwich & fries a month.... however you look at it - the impact to their lives far out weighs the impact to ours. |

|
There is not a large staff of people at the Farm, there is no trust fund supporting the financial needs of these dogs and kids - it's ALL you - people that want to get involved and make a difference. Can 18 cents a day REALLY make a difference? It's the only thing that does!! Dig in your couch
cushions, check the cup holder in your car - |

| HOW YOUR DONATION HELPS
THE DOGS:
Our goal to save 100 - 150 Border Collies each year is very important and meaningful to us and hopefully to you, but we do need help to support this effort. Rescuing border collies is a costly venture due to the veterinary care needed for almost all the dogs. The fee of $275 helps offset some of those costs but not all, so you can help us continue our efforts, even if you cannot adopt but want to support saving this breed. Each dog costs us approximately $350 if they remain with us one month. Many dogs stay as long as six months and some will reside at the Farm permanently because their issues cannot be healed (abuse histories are severe). Here is a breakdown: Every dog receives the following: rabies ($12); distemper ($28); heartworm test ($19); spay/neuter ($70); heartworm preventative ($5 per month); frontline for fleas & ticks ($10 per month); food ($30 month); toys ($5); bedding ($12); collar ($7); bones & biscuits ($5) plus additional vet care: antibiotics when sick; eye ointments; special vet visits for cuts, illnesses, etc.; plus each dog costs $20 per office visit (the vet policy). In addition, the facility itself carries costs in order to foster the dogs and run the program: telephone & web ($1000/month); electric & heat in the barn ($300 - 500/month); office supplies -paper, copies, postage, etc.; transportation of dogs from kill pounds & owners to the farm ($50 per trip); accounting services for the non-profit; salaries for dog caretakers. These costs are hard costs that we must cover upfront prior to adoptions. We need assistance from caring individuals like yourself. No amount is too small....every contribution counts, so please consider what you can do to help us help these dogs. We've had tremendous success finding wonderful homes for what were previously unwanted and rejected dogs...please join us in the joy of caring for creatures that offer us so much love and ask only that we care for them appropriately. |
