Mary Jane and Missy

Update:  The Doomed Dogs came through with sponsorship money for these poor dogs.  I was in Tulsa this past weekend and I went by to visit Missy and Mary Jane at their new foster home. The foster parents are very nice, caring people. These poor dogs have been through a terrible experience and are still very fearful. It is going to take a lot of love and stability to make these dogs whole. Anyway, I wish you all could have been there to see what good our donations do for these poor, helpless creatures.
It started with the following message from a Great Pyr rescuer in Arkansas:
"We have a woman in Berryville [Arkansas] approximately 1 hr from here threatening to shoot her 6 dogs (pyrs and pyr mixes) some or spayed some are not by Mon. if someone does not take them but without a place to take them what next??? The woman is stressed out due to foreclosure on her home by 5:00 p.m. on Monday. There is no shelter or rescue or humane society anywhere near her."



Various rescues scrambled to save the dogs.


Doomed Dogs sponsored two of them with this post:


These are Mary Jane and Missy, the remaining two dogs from the lady in Berryville, AR that was going to shoot her six dogs when her house was foreclosed upon Monday (see the earlier post). All the dogs were saved by heroic efforts of several rescues. The person that spearheaded the effort was Alissa from NGPR Arkansas, a lady with a heart of gold who never gives up. Here is a message (and a plea) from Alissa:


"We got them to boarding safety in Maumelle, AR (8 hrs round trip) last night well after the facility closed. Thanks to Jennifer for letting us in sooo late. A rescue in Little Rock is taking Cujo the male today and paying for the vaccines and rabies for all 3 Thanks Shelley. A foster in Tulsa OK (Thanks to the OK crew)will be taking the momma (Mary Jane) and female pup (Missy). We physically can't meet them before Thursday. So that means 3 nights of boarding and a bath/nail clip for each. Totaling $95.00. The trip to meet the foster halfway is 9 hrs. We aren't asking for anything for ourselves but could someone please help with the boarding/bathing bill? If so, please go to National Pyr.org under donations and please specify Berryville dogs Mary Jane and Missy. The donations will be tax deductible, any amount will help.

I wouldn't spend the extra money for bathing but they are poopy from being in a poopy pen their entire lives and I just couldn't do that to the foster in OK. Sorry to ask but we are spending a significant amount on gas to move these scared babies to safety.

Sincerely,
Alissa
NGPR Arkansas
