Our second drawing is this week! There are tickets left for the Scratch Ticket Raffle Later this week, our team will pick up the five rotties in Ohio from the commercial breeders there. The rescue is responsible for all of their veterinary care (about $3000) plus transport costs and housing once the dogs arrive here. Grab your Scratch Ticket Raffle tickets NOW to help us reach the fundraising goal, and MAYBE YOU will be the next big winner! There are tickets left (as I type this) -- it may sound like a lot, but I know we can do this. There are five rotties COUNTING on you wanting to win! https://givebutter.com/k3mAfi

Twelve years ago, I was laid off from Corporate America and transport become my next business venture. Three vans, 1.2 million miles, and some unknown thousand number of dogs (and cats!), Ramblin' Rose (the van) has made her twilight cruise yesterday. Both she & I retired from transport [*** I did not retire from rescue, pet sitting or my municipal position ***] I could thank dozens of people, co-pilots, dog walkers, rescue partners, overnight accommodations -- but the list is really long and I would probably forget someone and feel badly.
The van reached 462,000 miles yesterday – and while I know she's got more life in her, continuing at the pace we've been going is not an option (nor is purchasing a new $60,000 van). We will consider dedicated transports (your animals, your locations, flat rate) on a case-by-case basis, and I can always help bring dogs from CT/NY/NJ to NH, if I'm already going for my own.

I want to thank you ALL for your trust, support and commitment to homeless animals. We will always be here to "save the next one".

Until then... in the words of Jimmy Buffett "There's just too much to see waiting in front of me and I know I can't go wrong..."
