Saving dogs, one dog at a time. West Leb, NH is mailing address. Spring 2022 the focus of Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue has been as a responsible rescue we saw the need to shift most of our focus on owner surrender dogs in Vermont and New Hampshire. COVID 19 created a huge desire for lots of households to obtain a puppy or dog....because many people were stuck at home....and working from home. Rescues, transporters, Veterinary offices, and shelters could not keep up with the demands. We got 100 applications for 1 puppy. It was a crazy time. Fast forward....April 2022, Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue saw the trend of mass owner surrenders going on all over New England. We felt that we could not continue to bring up (from down South on a regular basis) puppies or dogs with the amount of owner surrenders that were happening. We even got several purebred dogs and designer dogs, Chi's, Labs, German Shepherds, Westie, Goldendoodle, etc. People think that these kinds of dogs don't end up in shelters....yes, they do....even here in New England. We had people threatening to euthanize their own dogs here....right here in Vermont and NH.....because they didn't want them anymore....their original owners were done with their Covid puppies. Most of the owner surrenders that have come to Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue needed to be fully brought up to date on their vaccines, micropchipped and also needed to be spayed and neutered. Sadly alot of people go puppies and they did not come spayed or neutered when they got them....the owners didn't care UNTIL when/if they went to go get them fixed....found out the costs are between $900 to $1200.00 to fix a grown adult dog that they have on their hands now.......so this cute little puppy that they got.....paid $$400.00 to $6,000.00 (YES, $6,000.00) during COVID....they didn't think it was fair to spend another $900 to $1200.00 to get them fixed. SO those costs have been passed onto our small but mighty rescue just to save the local COVID puppies.....we can't get these dogs into spay/neuter clinics for the same reasons their owners couldn't.....they are very and far in between for dog spay/neuter clinics....and they are booking months and months out......so in the meantime Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue needs to get these COVID dogs fixed and up to date on their shots....and we go thru our local veterinary offices to get them spayed and neutered....to continue to be a responsible rescue.....we are taking on the huge task of that others are not doing. Our veterinary costs are thru the roof.......we need help, we needs donations to continue to help save the COVID dogs that are local to us. Our adoption fees DO NOT cover our vetting costs at all.......To save one COVID dog....it cost us $1400.00 and her adoption was $325.00 because she was a senior.....she was well worth saving.
