This month Lisa Cummings has donated once again to Blue Dog Rescue.
Why does this organization deserve funding?:
This is a special donation for a dog called Peaches Honeyblossom. She had no
hair and terrible burns covering her body…just roaming the streets in near
death condition. Now she’s on her way to the good life because of Blue Dog
Rescue.
Blue Dog Rescue is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to end the
needless killing of homeless dogs. In 2006, Austin killed over 12,000 dogs,
cats, puppies, and kittens at one area animal shelter alone. Many of them were
healthy, well-behaved animals who could have made someone a wonderful pet. They
were killed because there wasn’t enough room to keep them until homes could be
found for them.
Blue Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, funded by donations,
fundraisers, and adoption fees, that works to find permanent, loving homes for
homeless dogs in the Central Texas area. All donations are Federal Tax
deductible.
