MABCR Will

Hi Folks. I'm Will. Will from North Carolina. Auntie Sarah told you about me the other day but didn't have a picture to show you....

I'm safe thanks to you and MABCR. I'm in foster, waiting for Auntie Lisa to take me to Auntie Sue. Then I'll need a ride from Auntie Sue to the farm. Can you help? Please?

Our planned transport day is November 3. Auntie Sue can meet someone in Cumberland Maryland. I'm not really sure where that is, but I think it is really important. Can you come pick me up and help me get to Auntie Sarah's farm? I'm told that's where I have to go to find my new forever home...

WOOF!

Will

P.S. Please contact Auntie Sarah directly if you can help get me to the farm. (SLR at MABCR dot ORG) Even partway there would really help. Thanks.

P.P.S. You can sponsor me too....

Sallie and Archie

MABCR has two new guests arriving from the south...Sallie and Archie.

Sally

What does this mean?

We need YOU!

Sallie and Archie will be arriving on 4 August at approximately 1pm in Hagerstown Maryland. We need someone willing to meet the transport, then move the dogs east, and into the waiting arms of MABCR.

You need only have a vehicle that can accommodate two dogs, at least one of them in a crate (if the other is not crated, it must be in a seatbelt harness).

You can help by sponsoring part, or all, of their medicals.It will cost approximately $100 each to fully vet each dog...

You can also help by sponsoring to help off-set the daily care and maintenance of Sallie, Archie, and the rest of the MABCR dogs....

If you can help with transport, please contact me privately...

If you'd like to help with sponsorship, please use the paypal button on the upper right hand of this blog, or mail a check to:

Thank you for considering. Without your help and support, we could not help Sallie and Archie....

Big Day Saturday!

Saturday was a big day here at the farm.

First up was Yappy Hour.

Then Sheila found a new home. She went to live with MABCR Alum Molly. Sheila is Molly's family's third MABCR adoption! Really excited about this adoption for so many reasons!

Next up was Clint. Clinty had been with me more than a year and found his forever human. or rather she found him. She applied because of him, but never mentioned it, so I was surprised to learn that little fact when she came to meet him. Here they are out for a run his first full day with his new human. Clinty has landed well for sure.

While Clint's human was still here getting to know him, our transport arrived with three new guests:

First out was Zoe, a lovely little girl with just enough 'tude to make a rocking good sports partner. Pulled from Kentucky, someone thought she should have a shorter tail and banded it (yes, you read that right, they used a castrating band to try to dock her tail), so it had to be surgically docked. She needs sponsorship (I am guessing a minimum total of $300, her transport was $25) to pay her vet bills in Kentucky, if you are interested in helping, please email me directly.

Next out was Banjo. Banjo is an adult with a very young mind. He thinks he is a teenager, and has a very young attitude. He is sweet and once neutered will make a great active companion. He was found strayed at a farm in the country. Banjo also needs sponsorship ($50), and of course, an adopter!

And finally, the little man with no name. I have come up with at least 100 girl names, but no boy names that suit. He is all of 8 or 9 pounds and is very sweet and a lovely companion dog. He is a papillion (mix?), I am looking forward to seeing if his hair grows. He has funny little tufts by his ears and is cute as the dickens.

Once we unloaded, the bottle kitten hopped on the transport and went on home to her foster. Once she is weaned she will move onto her forever home who is anxiously awaiting her arrival!

WHEW!! I was ready for bed at about 7.30pm that night. I slept until 6am the next morning...Can't imagine why!!!

Thanks to our expert Transport Driver Denise for helping to get all of our new guests here safe and sound.

New Arrivals...

Dogs come to us in all sorts of ways. Sometimes it is well planned, a transport set up weeks in advance, dog fully vetted, the dog arrives virtually ready to go into a new home.


Other times dogs come to us in a scramble. This little girl was found stray running by a good samaritan. The finder posted signs, called shelters and such to try and find the dog's owner with out success. They contacted one of our volunteers in the area, who in turn contacted me, and four days later the dog arrived riding in style in a crate wearing a bright pink collar.

This little one is pretty afraid. She has not been well socialised and is now decompressing in her crate, but seems to have a nice temperament and will be a super nice girl once she gets past being afraid. I'd love to get her into foster, so if you think you can handle some good, solid socialisation, let me know.

Special thanks go out the the generous volunteers who arranged to bring the pup here, then donated the funds for spay and vaccinations. We can't do our job without help like that and we truly appreciate the positive affirmations, the physical and financial assistance.

Little girl needs a name. She is about 7 months old, is shy, smooth coated, and not a big girl, I can tote her under my arm (30 pounds??). If you have a suggestion for her name, please leave it in the comments below.

New Arrivals...

 On this chilly (almost) fall morning, a few good volunteers rallied together to move two young dogs from the transport route to the farm...this ride for this little guys was fully sponsored by wonderful MABCR volunteers.

On arrival, they got tags and a short car ride into foster....

This is just another step in their journey on their way into their forever homes....Thanks everyone!

The August Eight Are Coming and They Need Your Help to Get Here!

I got an email early this morning from one of the women who organises transports up to us from the south. She has eight three week old pups that need help. Mum was a border collie that was killed, dad is who knows who...

Long story short, these pups need to get here, and get here fast. The foster is over worked and the pups will be mobile shortly, which will present new issues in caring for them.

She has asked if MABCR can help, and of course I said yes...however, we need funding in order to get them here and pay for medicals. I am hoping for some help from our supporters.

MABCR must have $125 quickly (by Monday or Tuesday) for the initial transport and medicals, and an additional $700 for the remaining medicals and spay/neuters for the entire litter. If everyone that cared and was able would chip-in a teeny bit, it will all add up quickly.

Donations can be made through paypal, through our website, or by mailing a check to:
