Do You Love Dogs? Would You Like To Help Save Some?
<center>https://steemitimages.com/DQmc9SdSg9kEEdku4WP8KP1qpoms5gkwaMBoJmGCvPzK4Tb/image.png</center>

We’ve all seen the sad ASPCA commercials with the trembling animals and Sarah McLachlan singing woefully in the background about angels. I’m not against the primary directive of the ASPCA, but what most people don’t realize is that it is a private shelter in New York City and not the headquarters of all the local SPCAs. Neither the ASPCA nor the HSUS have smaller affiliates in other areas. They are not connected in any way to your local humane group. They don’t fund local shelters, support local shelters, and rarely do they get involved with local shelters. Their grants are extremely difficult to obtain, and their area representatives seldom venture into the rural areas where the need is greatest.

Nonprofits like my rescue @TARC have a really tough time, especially in communities that are unsupportive. (See screenshot below.) We have some wonderful hands-on volunteers, like @cherielayne, @arrelaine13, and @catherine813. We also have a growing support network on the Steem blockchain, and Steemians have funded the rescue of several Appalachian dogs already.

This week we took in four dogs from a horrible situation where the owner was hospitalized, and her landlord was about as sympathetic to the dogs’ plight as she was to the cockroaches and rats living with them. Two of the dogs are surprisingly healthy, but the longhaired dachshund has a raging UTI with visible blood in her urine, and the senior poodle had skin that was nearly hairless and almost petrified with dead skin cells, in addition to a cataract in one eye and mammary tumors from being unspayed. The vet bill for these two dogs was $538.02.  This does not include the deworming we do in-house, the vaccines we do in-house, the microchips, or the spay that the dachshund will need. (It’s possible that the poodle’s age by contraindicate surgery for her.) Rescue is expensive. And for a group like mine that rarely qualifies for grants and has little community support, the need is dire.

I’ve never understood why local leaders don’t see the PR and political potential that lies in animal welfare. In 2014, Boston University published the 21st Century Mayor’s Leadership Survey. [“Out The Front Door”]( http://outthefrontdoor.com/2014/10/11/important-new-study-published/) is a popular activist blog that published this statement on October 11, 2014:

>On page 34 of the study is a list of the mayors’ responses to the question: “What is the most recent idea you have learned about from another city (domestic or foreign) and then brought to your own?” Of the 48 ideas listed, one is “No Kill animal shelter.”

There is proof in black and white that for the public and many officials, the state of a municipality’s animal control system is an indicator of the efficiency and success of their leadership. Yet in my community, this concept is about as foreign as chop sticks. Calling any type of public attention to the problem like I did with the situation involving these dogs and the realtor results in pretty significant backlash, and remarkably limited concern about the animals.

So I struggle. Daily. But I don’t regret being in this business. It has its rewards. And homes for these dogs will not be hard to find. They’ve already had an offer of transport to out of state rescue, and interest by adopters. That isn’t the problem. The problem is funding the work we do to make them eligible for that. I’ve not been disappointed in the Steem blockchain as a means of raising money to continue our charity work with animals. Post payouts have been good, Steem and SBD enjoyed a nice spike, and people donate. But the need is never-ending in this community. Until I’m able to fund the spay/neuter program I’ve proposed, I don’t think we’ll se any real relief from needing outside help to care for these dogs.

In the good news department, Miss Daisy is much happier today after her trip to the spa…er, I mean veterinarian. She enjoyed two exfoliating baths, a pedicure, and a haircut. Check out her before and after pics. Not sure what everyone else will see, but in the photo on the left, I see grief. In the photo on the right, I see tentative hope. @TARC was able to give her that. Her expression is even brighter today.

<center>https://steemitimages.com/DQmcA7RNZznPo7btLj3xAZAcRJwYg8joMtyNMD7YUNfRvL4/image.png</center>


We also have three more dogs in need of the veterinary care required for adoption or transport across state lines. In other words, we need to finish their vaccine series, deworm them thoroughly, and have them spayed and neutered. This, too, costs money. So please consider upvoting this post and resteeming it so others can see and upvote it as well. This is a way you can contribute much more directly than donating to large organizations like the ASPCA where only a few pennies of every dollar actually go toward helping animals. Every single cent of every single dollar donated to TARC goes to food, shelter, veterinary care, transport, or overhead for running the sanctuary, NOT to salaries of executives or misleading ad campaigns.


For anyone wishing to donate FIAT, here is the best way: https://www.paypal.me/tazewellarc

Seriously—even if all you do is give this post a resteem, you’re giving our rescued animals more than the people who abandoned them ever did.

According to the comment history https://steemit.com/@masterwali/comments masterwali has posted hundreds of the same comments on random posts in the last hours. I'm new to Steemit but it looks like this person doesn't exactly care about the posts or the wellbeing of the platform as a whole.

You have a beautiful heart.  You know what I noticed in your post?  (besides your passion for protecting animals)

I saw you treat a human being with respect - specifically, a human being that tried to hurt you and humiliate you with her words.  That took control, poise, and wisdom.  It keeps the focus on the issue and doesn't allow the attack to misdirect the reader to nonsense.  

I am happy to resteem this!!

I haven't much to give at the moment, but I'm working on a haiku for a contest. It will be pledged to this cause, although it lacks dogs.

Thanks for the work you're doing helping these dogs! 
Have you thought about focusing some of your efforts on educating the local population about the problem? It seems like you're facing a lot of resistance, but if you got locals on your side, you could ultimately (maybe years down the road) eliminate the need to rescue. Kind of the idea of, give a man a fish, feed him for a day--teach him to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
All the best, and I hope you'll find all the funding that you need. God bless!

Yes. We’ve tried that too. In fact, that’s sort of where the problem started back in 2013. We were very active in community events, passed out literature, made appearances on local TV and radio discussing things like vaccines and spaying and neutering. We also included in this information the statistics of our local shelter. That enraged some of the community leaders and it all went downhill from there.

I think a lot of people dont realize in the end what kind of neverending story this is. And the debate you have with people also has to decent, otherwise you will be that crazy dog lady all of a sudden. Thats not easy with so much foolishness around you, people still dont seem to understand the concept of a living creature and responsibility.

Lots of love upvote resteem the whole shabang! Hopefully the spay/neuter program will be realized soon!

I am so sorry you were sent messages like that for one. My wife @lynncoyle1 andmyself  strive to help where we can. Its about being humane. People do not understand that animals have feelings, get sick, feel scared. Its up to us to help and to teach others I think. show empathy actually

l for one am so glad that you are doing what you're doing, and that you manage to reply to completely unreasonable people with reason and class!

I'm from Canada but live in Mexico right now with my husband, @briancourteau.  It's so different here, compared to home, how people treat/mistreat their animals.  We are constantly buying food to feed other people's pets.  There's a couple of 'animal groups' that we are looking to volunteer at because the need is so great.  I can totally see in your photos the difference in the poor dog...how can anyone NOT see sadness in an animal's eyes??  And you're right about the percentage of donations from SPCA actually getting to an animal...seems the same for most big charities.  So, I am in full support of what you do..upvoted and happy to resteem.  Animals are like children; how do you not take care of the helpless??  It's not an option in my books, it's a necessity of being human.
Cheers!

I was replying to you husband and got distracted, so I'll just reply here and you can show it to him, too. LOL 

I'm not totally blameless in the whole FB flaming thing. I can be provocative. I did call the realtor out by name, and knew full well how people here in this area would respond to that. I did it anyway, because good grief, you know? Somebody has to take a stand somewhere. But I do get down in the dirt and slug it out with these folks, because the more attention I draw to this issue, the more people in Appalachia I can reach. My rescue gained almost two dozen new FB followers on our page over this ordeal. So to a point, I'm willing to take the abuse. But it's still sad. And it still indicates the social decay in Central Appalachia, that people have their priorities so wrong about so many things, and I really hope at some point we start seeing those realign.

I was an active advocate and animal rescuer for about 9 years.  I live in Colorado and a shelter just up the road that serves the large city Grand Junction Colorado was found to have the worst record in the state.  Many of the area residents were shocked by the report, the state report, and feel it's not the truth.  Others are shocked and disappointed.  All of the responses inspired a series on my blog I just started tonight as I feel pet overpopulation is at epidemic proportions in our country and way overdue for being addressed with strong action.  Granted, it is mostly my opinion and based on my experiences but I really do think massive change is way overdue!  Kudos to you and your work.  It's very brave what you do!!

@rhondak this post was presented at the morning session of Pimp Your Post Thursday on the [Steemit Ramble Discord](https://discord.gg/hzhzWxw). It was given honourable mention as part of the report on the session. Just stopping back to let you know that you can see your [name in lights right here](https://steemit.com/pypt/@shadowspub/pimp-your-post-thursday-morning-report-video-feb-8th). (Just kidding about the lights :)
