Trying to get back into our routine.
As many of you are aware, besides helping veterans, we are a food pantry for several surrounding counties. With this economy, we have had a huge rise in requests. So, we've been quite busy.

Today we helped a very dear friend and supporter of MPTR.
Rachael was our groomer for the past 6 years. She was very helpful in caring for our dogs as well as grooming veterans animals for free. She also lets us use her trailer when we need it.
Today, we delivered some grooming kennels and some hay for her goats.
In our book, one hand washes the other. We help out where we can when asked.

On behalf of MPTR, Thank you for all that you have done for us and our community over the past 6 years.

Greetings our friends!
Welcome to 2025!

We have been very busy behind the scenes continuing to help our current dogs, our community, our Veterans, and of course, trying to purchase our new vehicle.

There are a lot of changes happening mot just here with MPTR, but in our rescue community and the world. We are seeing more and more rescues close or limit their assistance. Which, adds more stress to those rescues that continue to grow and move forward.
As our programs continue to grow and change, other programs have dwindled down some. While we will still answer the calls from shelters in special circumstances,and help as space allows, we are going to shift our resources more towards helping the community, Veterans, Domestic violence victims, local and long distance transport and many other community minded support programs.

Our biggest task currently is, we are in the process of condensing our location by putting everything MPTR in one place. This will allow us more time to work on what's needed rather then go from storage place to storage place gathering supplies that may be needed to help the situation at hand. This will also help us consolidate supplies and clean up what's no longer needed. One never realizes how much "stuff" they can accumulate over 13 years of rescue.

About the truck....
This posed to be a more daunting task then expected. First, was locating a vehicle that suited our needs. That was easy. What I was most shocked about was the lack of assistance some dealerships would provide. I could not get any dealerships, except one, to commit to providing us with a quote or bill of sale in writing. Yes, I'm just as baffled as you. These dealerships tend to work with those that have funds in hand. We were not looking for a donation, as we had a secure donor waiting on us to provide certain documentation to them for approval.
This process is still ongoing. The board of directors for MPTR have met and unanimously voted on a vehicle. That approval was then sent on to the donor and we are awaiting final word. I'm told that it's looking good so far!! And are just weeks away from a purchase. 🤞🏻

Lastly, we are closing down the grooming aspect of MPTR. While we are sad that we had to shut this down, the loss of clients and not many new clients coming in, it just wasn't providing us the funds needed to sustain it.
We created this service with a very experienced groomer and friend. She was kind enough to help groom many of our rescued animals at no cost. This service also helped provide donated funds to MPTR. Like many rescues that have thrift or consignment shops to help fund them, we applied that model to grooming. It's a good funding model and maybe we can bring it back some day.
This also means that we will be reaching out to our community more to help us with funding as the situation arises.
To our clients over the past 8 years, thank you. You not only had your animal groomed by a professional, but you helped us save and help so many animals.

I will update you all more as time allows.

From all of us at MPTR, thank you for your continued support.

Good morning.
Just an update on one of the pups,pulled to make room at a local shelter, we are fostering.
We have named her Violet.
She's such a sweet girl.
This poor girl was so in need of a grooming. First, she got a bath. Wait til you see the color of the water!!!
Then, we helped her see. That's right, her fur was so matted and overgrown that she couldn't see or open her mouth fully. 😪

But, have not fear! Our skilled and experienced groomer dove right in and fixed her up!! Look how much happier she is!!!

Now, let's get some weight on her!

As you may know, we have previously collected and sent several tons of supplies to hurricane impacted areas. We are again collecting supplies to send down to Western NC. The first load will be going down at the end of this week.

Our first rescues from areas impacted by Hurricane Helene arrived this weekend, and we will be welcoming in more later this week and next week as well.

In partnership with Maverick Pet Transportation & Rescue, Inc., we were also already able to deliver 1,000 lbs of much needed dog food to Western NC.

The situation is dire, and we need your help!

We desperately need donations for the care of these rescues and our other dogs! We also need foster homes! We can only continue this mobilization with your support.

NOTE: No strays are being moved out of the area at this time. There are many animals being surrendered in the hardest hit areas. Several shelters were destroyed or still have no power/water. Strays are being moved to the closest shelters equipped to handle them, so their other animals need to be moved to make room for these intakes.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
Milton now forecasted a CAT 5

Folks a lot of shelters with outdoor kennels, a lot of shelters suffered damage there are a ton of attempted owner surrenders.
Please step up to become a disaster relief foster.
Many shelters cannot take in animals at this time they just cannot.
Owner surrenders have no place to go and there has been reports that people are letting their animals loose and fleeing because they have lost everything themselves.
This is our disaster relief foster application for regular people: https://hurricanepetsrescue.org/volunteer/disaster-relief-foster-parent-application/
If you are a shelter and rescue group this is the application for you, we just want to make sure that you are no kill and that you are a good org.
This is the only reason for our screening, once the animals get to you, you are on your own.
This is our disaster relief shelter - rescue partner app:
https://hurricanepetsrescue.org/disaster-relief-shelter-rescue-parnership-application/
Thank you for opening your home to a disaster victim.

If you cannot foster but will like to donate the QR is in the pic or you may do so here:
