Tammy Rose's Brighter Days: One Dog at a Time

Please help me raise money for Safe Hands Rescue! I believe in their mission, going into areas with little financial resources, and saving as many dogs and cats as they can. But that takes finances. As some of you know, I have been fostering with Safe Hands Rescue over 15 years and have fostered 61 dogs during that time. Right now I have little Chester, a senior chihuahua, who will need some extra medical care. He'll be getting most of his teeth removed so that he can have a pain-free life going forward. Safe Hands takes care of all of that. Chester deserves to live his golden years in good health and in a loving forever home. And I'm so happy to help him on his journey.

Also, please read the story of August, one of many dogs that have survived to go on to their forever homes in good health because of Safe Hands.

_____________

August was a stray people had tried to save for months, but he was too scared and wouldn't allow anyone to get close.  During his time as a stray, he was hit by a car and was shot through the leg. He was wasting away to almost nothing.

   

Finally, so weak and tired, he allowed someone to bring him in. She brought him to one of our partner shelters, who asked us for help.  August is the perfect example of just the kind of dog Safe Hands is here to help – he needed good nutrition and personalized care. He only weighed just over half his healthy weight. Shelters try their best, but many are not equipped to provide specialized care to save lives.

Safe Hands was able to give August the needed time to heal and recover. He was given a long course of antibiotics and fed small, frequent meals to avoid refeeding syndrome.  Thanks to animal lovers like you, our team was there with the resources August needed to recover, survive–and go on to thrive. With extra care, love, nutrition, and attention, August rallied. This sweet dog, who was destined not to make it, got a second chance because of donors like you. 

Join me and Safe Hands this summer to make sure there's someone there for the next August. Your gift makes a difference, changing the world for more than 1,500 dogs and cats in need like August, every single year.
