i know a lot of rescues that depend on a thrift store type setting to raise money for shelter food ect for people and animals

i asked her to post the rest of the info. since i know people are wary about direct donations ,
but i trust Rhonda isn’t scamming, and honestly got stuck with a dog once the other rescue fell through.
this happens when a rescue commits asks someone to pull and assist with transport then for what every reason flakes out.

Within the last few months MSRH has acquired several senior Schnauzers, either through senior owners and/or their families surrendering to us or they were surrendered to a kill shelter.
This issue is a very real problem all pets must face when their senior owners have a life changing event happen and there is not a contingency plan in place.
If you are a senior person, please take a moment and ask yourselves “if my health, financial, or living arrangements should change, who would take care of my beloved pet?”
Please make provisions for your 4 legged companion, the one that loves you unconditionally and depends on you. If you don’t plan for their future they may not be so lucky as to have a rescue group such as MSRH save them, but instead might end up in a kill shelter as their last stop on this earth.
