Happy Spring Everybody!
Time again to share all the happy stories you made possible with your generosity and support. Thank you to all who donated, who purchased shtuff from our website, and thanks to our monthly donors who keep the future bright for homeless and needy animals across the country. We love you and thank you. As we are all volunteer, 100% of every dollar that comes in is used solely to rescue animals.
Below are just some of the rescue organizations we made Little Guy Grants to this period. Whether they were desperate for a month’s worth of dog food, or needed help funding a capital project for new kennel doors, or medical help, networking support, anything and everything, Tails of Joy was there.
We made at least one, but usually two or three, donations this period to each of the rescues listed below, to follow up with health care and emergencies once we got involved in specific cases. We also helped several pet owners who had pet emergencies, but we don’t list their names.
Hope For Broken Angels (Houston TX)
“Hey everyone! We are a little short on funds for the specialty food for our seniors with immune issues and need a little bit of help to purchase the food and supplements needed. Anything that you can spare would be greatly appreciated and help us feed them for the next couple of weeks.”
Tails of Joy to the rescue!!
