The Last Resort Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

8/5/09

Around mid-July Samantha stopped by one of their volunteers vet hospitals and a postal worker had found a baby kitten under a bush who had lost his mommy.  The kitten was only 7 - 10 days old.  Samantha called Nancy to see if she could raise him as she has lots of experience with that sort of stuff.  Here are pictures when Oscar first arrived and then some from just recently.

Samantha was able to help another transport coordinator as her transport for that weekend was already filled.  Casey was trying to fill her transport from TN to NY that was for 2 of the puppies that the wonderful gentleman in TN, Frank, rescued from a shelter because they were going to euthanize all 13 puppies because they MAY have been exposed to kennel cough!! Which is easily treatable with antibiotics!! She only had like 3 remaining legs and needed Samantha's help to fill them.  Here is the nice email that was sent out and the puppies, Freedom & Mary Ann, who were able to be transported safely to their rescue in NY!

Just wanted to send a quick email to thank you all for driving this weekend .

Every driver this weekend,  with the exception of my husband Josh, was a new driver TO ME  - meaning none of you have driven for me before. I think this is a huge accomplishment.  The more contacts us coordinators have, the more lives we can save by getting transports filled.

I will send out an update soon....Amy is always wonderful about keeping us updated on how the babies we send to her are progressing.

I also want to send a HUGE " thank you " to Frank who selflessly rescued and fostered  Freedom and Maryann, as well as 11 other puppies that were to be euthanized only because they MAY HAVE been exposed to kennel cough. THANK YOU FRANK!

I also want to thank Samantha with http://www.thelastresortrescue.com/  who once again saved me by helping me get this transport filled and also to Tania who is responsible for getting the last leg filled by cross posting .

Again Thanks ! It was good to work with and meet you all .

Thanks to Ashlee and Josh for the attached photos !

Sincerely ,

Casey

Samantha received the following email and was devastated. Although The Last Resort was unable to take them as we are so full, she was able to send to someone that could and they were rescued!!! Thanks Karen!!!

Please help save us, we are all so cute... Our owner turned us in along with an older sibling. We are all available for adoption now and in need of rescue. Our older sibling is very skinny and needs help too. Ofc. Phillips is going to our old home and charging our old owner with cruelty because she is so skinny. Please, Please help get us out of here!

The Last Resort received the below email from a shelter in GA.  Michele & Samantha were so sickened by it that we personally donated to the fund for this poor dog.  THE PICTURES ARE VERY GRAPHIC SO BE WARNED!!

He is in great hands now and healing fast!!

Please do not be upset by the photos that follow but I felt it necessary to show you why I am asking for your help.

After having our 2nd garage sale, we had lots of stuff left over.  We found out about another animal rescue group, S.T.A.R.T. (Save the Animals Rescue Team), was having a garage sale of their own.  We donated all the rest of our items to them so it all still went to the animals!!

There was an article in the paper about a benefit dinner in West Milford for working military dogs in Iraq.  It was a great deal!! $11 per person and it was a complete italian buffet.  All proceeds went to purchase doggles (dog protective eyewear), a cooling bandana (to help keep them cool), and dog booties (to help protect their feet from the hot sand) for each dog.  Samantha wanted to attend however, with her insanely busy schedule, it was nearly impossible.   She talked to Michele & Nancy to see if we could make a donation from The Last Resort. Of course, they were all for it so that's what we did! Samantha handed them a check for $100!! They were ecstatic to say the least!!
