In moments like these, words seem inadequate, and all we can muster is a heavy-hearted, "What Now?"
We answered a call from law enforcement and were confronted with a heartbreaking sight: 60 dogs in desperate need of rescue or spay and neuter services. We've reached out to other rescue groups, but the reality is stark: every rescue and shelter is incredibly overwhelmed.
This situation combined with our current waiting lists and dogs needing to be returned has left us with al most 100 dogs in desperate need of placement. Regrettably, our kennel space and foster homes have been exhausted. We are pleading with individuals who can offer solace and shelter to these animals. Your act of fostering or adopting will not only change their lives but also provide them with the love and care they deserve.
We also urge pet owners to please act responsibly by spaying and neutering their pets. This simple step can avert situations like the one we're facing now.
If you can offer temporary foster care or can adopt, please fill out a application at rescueonespringfield.com.
For those unable to foster, please consider supporting us by donating items from our wishlist to help our current needs. We're currently in dire need of Purina Lamb and Rice and canned puppy and kitten food. You can find our Chewy wishlist at ,https://www.chewy.com/g/rescue-one_b71849030, our Amazon Wishlist at www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2T57IRHY478GD?ref_=wl_share or you can purchase items from anywhere and have them shipped to our address at 1927 E. Bennett STE B, Springfield, MO 65802. Your support, no matter the size, is a lifeline for us and the animals we care for.
