Thanks to our 50/50 raffle and a few other generous donations, we were able to make a small dent on our standing bill! But we still have $415 to go!

We’d LOVE to be able to get this paid off without having to wait for our Facebook donations to come through at the end of the month. That way, we can put those donations towards new emergencies.

If this is something you’d like to help us with, please use this link to donate directly: https://linktr.ee/poes_purpose

The winner’s share of our 50/50 drawing was $100 and it was generously donated back to us! 🥹 Thank you!!!

Last day! Get your chances now! We’ll announce our winner tomorrow. Currently the winner’s share sits at $75.

You know we hate begging for donations without our amazing supporters getting something in return, so here we go!! 🥳

Donate $10 and get the chance to win HALF of all funds we raise through this little raffle. 🎟️

There’s just one small detail to keep in mind: to make sure we can track every donation and share the final total, entries must be made through our specific PayPal link. That means you’ll need a PayPal account to enter, but we promise it’s worth it! Every penny (ok, HALF of every penny this time) helps animals in need. 💝

We’ll draw our winner on 8/13, so make your donations now! Clickable link in the comments. THANK YOU!!! 🥰

Just because we’re out of funds doesn’t mean we stop advocating for our local pounds. Bonne Terre needs our help … The items are a bit more pricey than our Bismarck wish list, so we’ll also collect donations through this post and purchase as much as we can when they come through at the end of this month!

If you can’t purchase or donate, simply sharing helps more than you know. Thank you!!

I hate to do this, but we’re on a total freeze until we can get caught up on our vet bills. This isn’t even accurate because we’ve done two more spays since then. It’s not fair to the amazing vets we work with to not get paid for their service.

We DO have pending donations from Facebook, but those won’t be dispersed to us until the last week of August. We will be unable to take on any new emergencies or preventative care until those funds come through or we collect enough donations directly through PP or VM.

If you’d like to help, please use this link to donate: https://linktr.ee/poes_purpose. And please share! THANK YOU!

The winner’s pot is currently sitting at $55. Use the link in the comments to enter to win! 🥰

UPDATE: Granite House has generously offered to cover this sweet girl’s entire treatment!! So we will be using the funds raised here to purchase her siblings’ heartworm preventative to make sure they STAY heartworm negative!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

💔 We need to raise $1,200 to give Jasmine a chance at life 💔

Jasmine has tested heartworm positive, and her treatment — her only shot at rescue — will cost $1,200 over the next few months. We can’t begin without those funds, and right now, we’re out of money. We have to raise the full amount before we can move forward.

Now here’s why this matters so much:
Jasmine and her siblings have spent their entire lives in the Ironton Pound. Picked up in January 2024 at just three months old, they’ve grown up there. We’ve been trying for over a year and a half to find a home for them, but the older they get, the harder that becomes.

We finally got a glimmer of hope — a rescue expressed interest and asked for heartworm tests. Jasmine’s two siblings tested negative. Jasmine didn’t. 😩

If you’ve followed us for a while, you know we’re currently out of funds. Jasmine’s future depends on us raising this $1,200. The sooner we raise it, the sooner we can start treatment and get her into a loving home — maybe even with her siblings.

💬 One more thing: The Ironton Pound is rescue only, but multiple rescues are ready to tag her if someone will foster-to-adopt. If that could be you — or someone you know — please reach out.

Jasmine needs you. Her time is running out.

🚨🚨HELP NEEDED 🚨🚨
This very sick baby was just picked up in Bonne Terre. ACO suspected Parvo, and he was right 😩

Treatment is $650 and we just do not have that right now. We can’t let this guy suffer though so we’ll figure something out. PLEASE share like crazy and donate (through the link in the comments gets to us the fastest) if possible.

We also have to pay for the weedeater kitty and we have a balance at Weber we need to pay off. 🫠 PLEASE help us keep our head above water. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

UPDATE: Stray Rescue of St. Louis to the rescue! They have tagged this baby and are in the process of getting him to their facility now. Our total ended up being $489. ❤️‍🩹 Keep this guy in your thoughts as he’s got a bit of a road to recovery ahead.

2ND UPDATE: It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you he didn’t make it to Stray Rescue. He passed in transit. 💔 RIP sweet boy. I’m sorry we failed you. 🌈
