Purrs N' Pups Animal Rescue

Sweet Success

Posted by: purrsnpups on: June 2, 2010

Well, good people, we made the trek down to Virginia and West Virginia and things couldn’t have gone smoother. Besides making it back to New Jersey with day-light to spare, we also brought with us 101 canines and 19 felines – for a grand total of 120 lives saved! Thanks to all of our WONDERFUL AMAZING foster parents and a HUGE, “WE LOVE YOU” thank you to our volunteer transporters! We couldn’t have done it without you.

Literally. There’s no way we could have driven a 40′ RV and 5 cars alone.

Great big, huge enormous adoption day on June 12th (for those of you keeping score). Remember to bring a bottle of water for yourself – it might be a hot one.

Transport Announcement!

HELP!

We are going to VA and meeting a WV and GA shelter there along with many VA shelters.  Memorial Day is one of the WORST weekends for dogs in the south, long weekends have the HIGHEST put to sleep rate.  Because it is a long weekend, they usually PTS on Friday, because we have agreed to help rescue MANY of their adoptable dogs, puppies, cats and kittens, they have agreed to save them from euthansia.  We are so excited to be able to help them, and we need your help to do that!  It is so hard to be down there and turn  dogs away that we can find homes for so quickly here in NJ.  There are over 1000 dogs and cats to choose from, please help us help them!  The transport is coming in SUNDAY around 7-8pm at Woofs N Whiskers Boarding Facility www.woofsnwhiskers.net for directions.

Here’s a bunch of links to some dogs that are available. Of course, this is not a definitive list and there are many more links in The Scoop email. I’ll try to post up some pictures later tonight.

SPECIAL NEEDS
Savina needs someone to care for her through her HW treatment, we would need a family willing to take her for the next 2-3 months for her recuperation time.


HELP!
We are in a real financial bind, our vet bills are over the roof and we have not been doing many adoptions lately due to less pups then usual available for adoption.  We need help, so anyone who is willing to do any fundraising help would be appreciated.

We would like to do some FUNDRAISERS! Your ideas are more than welcome. We are doing a BAKE SALE (let us know if you can bring something!) at the BIG ADOPTION WEEKEND.
Other fundraiser ideas we’ve had are:
  • Dog Walk/Reunion for PNP alumni
  • Newsletter to prior adopters
  • Calendar Raffle Sale
  • Any more ideas? Email us!
As always, thank you for your continued dedication and support. You are appreciated!

Hello world!

Posted by: purrsnpups on: April 23, 2010

Here we are in the blogosphere! We’ve created this blog to help get out “The Scoop” information in a way that we can look back and really see all the lives that you have helped save.

At it’s base, this will be an informational blog that will directly reflect Alissa’s Scoop email that she sends out every Thursday. Having a blog like this will also help us directly link out to our Twitter followers and for YOU to send to your friends/family/coworkers instead of forwarding a whole email. What we’re hoping is that we can spread this blog around and have more people subscribe to The Scoop and ultimately increase the number of fosters/volunteers/awesome people in Purrs N’ Pups.

Thanks for everything you do!
