THE EMAIL BELOW IS FROM RANDY GRIM WITH STRAY RESCUE OF ST. LOUIS. THEY DESPERATELY NEED FOSTERS. IF YOU CAN FOSTER OR KNOW A DOG LOVER IN THE ST LOUIS, MO METROPOLITAN AREA WHO COULD HELP OUT NOW WE NEED THEM! To foster go to www.strayrescue.org & fill out the application to foster.

THANKS FOR CARING!

Hey gang- First thank you for all those who have open their homes and hearts to our strays. I have a moratorium on rescuing anymore until we can move our kids out of the kennels and vet clinics.this kills me for I have to say - as well as donna and Darrell- "hang in there, we will save you soon" to hundreds of street dogs waiting for their second chance. So here it goes-Please if you can squeeze in a dog into your home, let Tara know. If you have a friend or family member without a dog, ask them to take one of our "only" dog strays. If you are skilled at fostering and think you can handle an only dog stray and separate them from your crew.you get the Randy Grim Merit Award JTo put it in perspective we are using 4 to 6 kennels, just one of the kennels bill was over 15,000! We are working our butts off to raise the money for the new shelter but with the new reality it isn't going to happen as fast as we all thought one year ago.We have close to 300 dogs in our system- which is amazing but also means many more will die for we just don't have the space. That is the part of rescue that breaks me, eats me up. Help us out if you can.You guys rock! I am so blessed to have people who step up to the plate so often- you all! The strays I know thank you.If you are fostering too many as it is- remember to hit up as many adoption events as you can and network as much as you can.Last month I was walking with Donna down maybe a 50 foot alley to feed our strays. We found 3 dead and one who we promised to help in the past. We see so much and we have become "tough" inside to deal with what we see but that day I held Donna while she sobbed. I felt guilty for the week before I was going to get her and I didn't. It's brutal out there. It's reality.If you foster I will mow your lawn and send you a big bottle of Vodka (a rescuers medicine J ) Ask Tara and Marianne who at the kennels might fit in your home and please keep helping. The strays need you, I need you.
