Thank you so much for blogging about our recent challenges. Relief efforts continue, and donations are badly needed. Sincerely, Molly Mednikow

I am sad to hear that Ashley and Nikki are struggling. Were it not for the problems we are facing at Amazon CARES, I would make a donation. I am sharing the message at least. We love I Love Rescue Animals!

My dear friends at BlogPaws: Tears came to my eyes upon seeing your blog. I am so impressed that you shared our disastrous news. We are receiving donations and we are so very grateful. The moral support is JUST as important. Sadly, the situation at the shelter has worsened. All dogs have been moved inside the "maloca" treatment building. Despite frequent walks on dry land, the dogs are stressed out. Thank you for your donation and for spreading the news. Sincerely, Molly Mednikow http://www.amazoncares.org

I can not tell you how much your blog means to me. The outpouring of support has helped me keep my spirits up. The donations are helping us rebuild. Our former shelter, a source of great pride, is totally destroyed. We have space for a smaller shelter on higher ground, and construction starts today in Peru (weather permitting). I also want to thank you for your donation, Chloe. Every bit helps, and you are a generous, loving member of the animal community. I am forever grateful. Sincerely, Molly M. of Amazon CARES.

I adore Nigel. I adored his blog, Life with Dogs, but like him even more after hearing his typist on TTPC.tv Blog Talk Radio. He is a real person with a great sense of humor.

Here for the Saturday Blog Hop, but you know I am already a fan! I finally got my photos (taken in Peru) together for my bracelet! I'll be in touch. BTW, tried to friend you on FB and it said you had too many friends. Lucky girl. Bad Facebook!

I agree this is an important issue, especially in today's economy when people are downsizing. I always want to shed light on the large numbre of apartment complexes with pet restrictions of absurdly high pet fees. At my former apartment I paif $400 PLUS a pet deposit to keep my dog. I couldn't dream of getting another pet at that price, plus the expenses of caring for a new pet. If apartments would lower these fees I bet we'd see a lot less pet relinquishment.
