Hey, brother...

Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?

Tis the season...we've been spending quite a bit on cleaning supplies, saving puppy mill pups, spaying and neutering, and have incurred an assortment of miscellaneous necessary veterinary bills. And even though we are offering a lovely assortment of rescue puppies, adoptions are down right now. And so is the Lucky Puppy checking account.

So...straight up and honest...without beating around the bush...can you help?

We've got a few leads on some of the rescues, but some are just sitting (especially Abby, Duke and Dexter). We're hoping something will shake loose soon. We are not in a position to lower rescue adoption fees right now, because TLP needs every dollar it can get. We are in a position where we must be very selective in the rescues we accept, because the funds are not there to sit on a dog for a long period of time. We need to accept only those pups that we feel we can place quickly. I hate that.

We also work hard to give the rescues the same standard of care that our other puppies get...only the best food, vaccinations, and dewormers, but that gets expensive too. I really don't want have to give our rescues any less than the best, but it may come to that if things don't change.

So...again, I ask, "Can you help?"

If you are able to contribute financially, that would be wonderful. You can do so at PayPal HERE. ANYTHING HELPS! You can even make a contribution on behalf of your pet and we will post it on the blog. Just include the details within the comments section on PayPal.

If you would rather purchase items that help the puppies directly, we'll take all the bleach, laundry detergent, dish soap, and paper towels you will bring. Copy paper helps too (for printing care sheets and adoption contracts).

You can also make a payment directly to our Lucky Puppy account at Dr. Steed's office in St. Clairsville. We are currently paid up there, but any credit on our account will help pay for future veterinary care on rescues. (Perky Puppies are always on a different account, so your money will benefit the rescues only.)

Please don't fret. We'll pull through this dry spell. We always have. The puppy business is very seasonal and we always make it through. We aren't going away, we aren't going out of business, and we aren't getting out of rescue. We just don't want to skimp on the babies. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Love,
Jess
