Shelter
Survivors was formed by a group of volunteers with
extensive years of experience in animal rescue. Our
volunteers have formed wonderful working relationships with local animal shelters during
this time. We have seen the recent trend with many
rescue groups and shelters transporting dogs from other
areas to the
tri-state area for placement. While we applaud
their passion and efforts, our focus is helping the local animals that
languish in shelters in our own backyards.
We strongly believe in using foster care for these
dogs before placement. These dogs are given needed
medical care, socialization, basic training, and
most of all, love. We feel we can then present our
prospective adoptive families with the most complete
evaluation of the dog they are interested in
adopting.
We are committed to educating the public about the
plight of shelter animals in our area. We feel that
although we are working at a small scale, we are
saving dogs one life at a time.
We Need Your Help!
Toby was surrendered to a local shelter when his family was moving
and they could not take him with them. The stress of the
shelter caused Toby to develop an upper respiratory infection.
Toby's infection turned into pneumonia and he also developed
pancreatitis. He was rushed to the emergency vet and got the
treatment he desperately needed!
After spending several days in the
hospital, Toby recovered and was released. He quickly returned
to his happy-go-lucky self and is doing wonderfully. The cost for taking
care of Toby was VERY high. Any help to
offset these costs would be greatly appreciated!!
