⭐️⭐️ ATTENTION! ⭐️⭐️
ResQRev is still collecting your donated unwanted items for our Annual Garage Sale!
If you have furniture or bigger items and in the Tri-Parsh area, we can probably even come pick them up!
Even though garage sales are a LOT of work, your trash may be someone else’s treasure! And every penny goes to help the 22 dogs, 9 cats, (and 6 raccoons and a possum) fostered and cared for by Rescue Revolution!
Drop off is: 258 Grande St on the East Side of Houma or PM, if needed!
⭐️⭐️Thanks in Advance! ⭐️⭐️
And thanks for your continued patience and support!
Here we are again, planning our Annual (??)
⭐️🐶⭐️ Garage Sale! ⭐️🐶⭐️
Another year in R
escue… another year trying to do as much as we can with as little as possible… because, as I’ve mentioned before, I HATE FUNDRAISING.
I HATE HATE HATE begging people for money! Money most don’t have, for animals they didn’t accept responsibility for. Usually by the time I ask for help, every other avenue has been exhausted and we’re probably overdrawn in our account. 🙄
And this year has been TWICE as hard because I swear I’ve developed PTSD from all the negativity in the Rescue World and World, in general.
Negative comments. Negative emails. Horrible messages, placing blame on everyone around except where it belongs. Demanding me to “Come get these cats! (Usually) Get off my ass and do my job! Take in this aggressive dog OR HE’LL DIE!!”
If I post something sweet, no one notices. If I post a story on a neglected Owner Surrender, then I’m “being cruel and people won’t trust me to surrender to.”
Rescues ask too many questions. Adoption fees are too high. Why do we keep taking in homeless pets we can’t afford? Apparently, we should just give pets away, to whoever wants them and stop worrying so much. Find money from somewhere, right?
Most of us SMALL Rescues are Volunteer based. We don’t have facilities. We don’t have paid staff. We don’t take salaries and we don’t pay Grant Writers. We’re winging it. Making do.
Bigger Rescues have bigger opportunities. More donations, more fosters, boarding facilities, social media managers, marketing help.
“Marketing” like… “THIS DOG WILL BE KILLED IF YOU DONT HELP!”
-Typing ALL IN CAPS. With red ❌❌‼️‼️🆘🆘🆘…
-Lying about circumstances to pull heartstrings and open wallets.
❌❌ Rage Bait. ❌❌
Rage Bait works! 💯!! But it exhausts my Soul.
My days are long, dirty, smelly and can be pretty depressing. Yes, saving animals is “honorable” but it leaves you emotionally and financially bankrupt.
Most days I haven’t had the energy to make entertaining, exciting posts. So our animals lose out on the impulsive, emotional donations that dopamine-driven Facebookers LOVE.
Entirely my fault. 😢
BUT: I still need help with these guys!
We have 12 pups n rescue that are unadoptable due to health or behavioral issues and 9 that are (or will be) up for adoption. We feed around 12-15 Community Cats, and (against our will) a family of Possums and a Raccoon Pack of 6. So…we need to have a garage sale to bring in funds to get animals fed, treated, vetted, seen and hopefully into new homes, if possible.
(I’m sure all that could have been said in way less words, but whatever. Trying to tell you where ResQRev is emotionally as well as physically and financially.)
