Help an Old Guy Out!

Poor Polliver!

Old pup stuck in a shelter because his owners didn't understand Siberian Huskies and couldn't keep him contained.  He also had an issue in the (ahem) back end area, so here he is: old dog, escape artist, butt issues, sitting in a shelter... he didn't stand a chance...

Until Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue saw his picture, and his now Foster mom melted at the sight of him.

Polliver is now safe, but the surgery to remove the benign tumor in his posterior has drained the rescue's funds.


If you can, please reach out and help the rescue pay for Polliver's surgery!

This link goes straight to the Rescue's "Give Forward" site.  Harnessed to Hope is a registered non-profit!

Help When Times Are Tough

It's getting tough out there, not only for gimpy owners, but everyone.

We've recently updated our Help Organizations link, and included a great link to the Tripawds and their list of Help Organizations.

Here is a link to a new program that was started by a non-profit with the help of private industry to help ease the burden of people who have fallen on hard times and can't feed their pets.  Food Stamp programs don't allow users to purchase pet food or pet-related items.  Seeing the burden it was putting on pet owners, Pet Food Stamps was born.

Other than seeing a story about them on the news, I don't know anything else about this organization.  Send your questions to them, but if you use it, or know somebody that does, let us know and we'll see if we can't interview them to find out what it's like and how helpful they are.
