Happy Holidays!
We are reaching out one more time with an urgent request to help sweet Gordon! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have raised $189 toward his $350+ needs, but we are still working to reach our $350 goal so Gordon can finally be neutered and never end up on the streets again!
Gordon’s neuter appointment is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., so time is truly of the essence. Even a small donation right now makes a big difference.

Gordon's story: For the first time ever, we pulled a dog from Rowan County Shelter, and that dog was Gordon, formerly Milo. What we learned about his past broke our hearts. Gordon had been adopted from that same shelter three times before we found him. Even more devastating, the third pull was done by a dog rescue that clearly failed him.
Despite all of this, Gordon was never neutered... Each time he was found wandering the streets alone. Each time, no one answered when the shelter called to say he had been found. Again and again, he was returned unaltered and set up to fail.
When we arrived to get him, we were surprised to learn we still had to pay a full $85 adoption fee, even though we are a 501(c)(3) rescue. The shelter does not have a veterinary clinic and does not spay or neuter dogs before adoption.
Now Gordon is finally safe, loved, and thriving with the other rescue pups. It is time to do the one thing that should have been done long ago. He is currently hu***ng all the boy dogs and marking everything in sight, which is expected for an unaltered male LOL, but we want better for him immediately.
Gordon deserves stability, comfort, and a real chance at a happy life. Thank you for helping us give him the fresh start he should have had all along. Your support right now means everything!
