This message comes from Marissa Stracaluzi, President, Help Save One, Inc. located in Warwick, RI. (www.helpsaveone.org) They rescue dogs from high kill shelters in the southeast United States, primarily shelters who euthanize using barbaric methods (gassing and heartstick) which cause great pain and suffering to the dogs as they die.
Before Christmas, they cleared out a shelter in Spalding, GA and are still urgently in need of funds for boarding, vetting and transport to homes in the northeast. Please would you donate what you can -- even small amounts are most appreciated -- and pass this message along to other people so that they, too, may have the opportunity to help save these lives.

Spalding Dogs - Please Continue to Support & Help
Please cross post as you see fit:
As many of you know we pulled 11 dogs on Christmas Eve from Spalding with the support of so many. We then pulled an additional 4 (3 of which are puppies) from this same shelter. The costs are MUCH more than anticipated mainly due to transport needing the dogs to be out of the shelter for 2 weeks which incurs an additional 8 days of boarding we did not plan on.
We need to get this wrapped up because the dogs are scheduled to leave and all vetting, transport, and boarding must be paid in full (actually all of it was supposed to be prepaid but only a portion has been so far).
At this point we can not pull anymore dogs until the bills for these kids is taken care of. We do not regret pulling them but we need people to sponsor and help pledge support.
Thank you and the 4 additional dogs have been added to the photos (this is actually on the website but I posted a few below).

Cost breakdown:
15 dogs each at $10 per day in boarding – needing 14 days of boarding = $2100
15 dogs vetting (office visit, wellness exam, shots, rabies, health certificates, deworming, grooming, heartguard, and frontline) @ $125 each = $1875
15 dogs transport @ $125 each = $1875 - we use a professional pet transporter for groups this large and from this area.
