PRESIDENTIAL GREETINGS. š
Since January 1st, CalWEAR has adopted out 29 dogs. TWENTY-NINE!!! Thatās nearly two every week! We are tremendously grateful for our adopters. š„° And for every dog that gets adopted, there are two more that we spend our resources on, but for a variety of reasons, they donāt get adopted (family changes their mind, dog went to another rescue, stray went home, long-term or indefinite foster care, hospice care, etc.). Add āem all up and thatās a lot of dogs weāre keeping track of! š
I am INCREDIBLY indebted to the @TeamCalWEAR village that makes up our network. This includes fellow transporters, fosters, sister rescues, and the Weimaraner community at large who drop a lot pennies in the bucket to help our cause. Without you, there is no us. So THANK YOU. ā¤ļø
To those who have some down time and are looking for a Weimaraner to rescue and love on, now is a great time to get your application in. With shelters closed, weāre getting more and more phone calls to intake Weims and Weim mixes. Please also be patient with us. Our email and telephone traffic has been HIGHER in the last 30 days than theyāve been in the last three months, combined. š³ Note: Incoming dogs are typically offered to families who are already on file, first. So get those apps in. š
WE NEED ALL THE FOSTER HOMES WE CAN GET RIGHT NOW. If we have to keep relying on our existing fosters, we fear greatly that we will burn them out, and no one wants to find a Weimie foster lying in the gutter. š
Lastly, with recent dogs like PHOENIX, HUNTER, GRETA, and KNOX (and probably a few more whose names are escaping me at the moment) requiring extra medical care, we are depleting our reserve by the minute. A few nickels or quarters to our Venmo account at @CalWEAR or PayPal account at donate@CalWEAR.org would be greatly appreciated. Weāll even dress up one of our foster dogs and make them do silly tricks if that will help sweeten the deal. Whatever it takes. šš¼
Spread the love. Spread the cheer. And follow us on our brand new Instagram account at @TeamCalWEAR. š„³
