Updates On Our Rescue Efforts! Frankie and Roxy have been fostered!

This email is from Carina. She can be reached at ProjPlus@qwest.net
I’d like to introduce John Panchot, dog boarder and trainer. He was introduced to me by Linda McCoy when I needed assistance with one of my rescues, Frankie (pictured with John below and will be looking for a home soon after his lessons in doggy boot camp). John boards and trains for a living in Fall City. He sometimes helps to find homes for the rescues that cross his path.












Currently John has 5 rescues in his care that he is not being compensated for. Rescuers know how hard both emotionally and financially it is to take on the care of these special animals. John is left to tend to them indefinitely. He feeds, boards, trains them and sometimes has to take them to the vet. Additionally, as part of the training he uses his own dogs who sometimes get injured in the process which is another expense. We that rescue must have a plan for the animals we take on and not assume that someone else will deal with their needs. It is not enough to get them out of their abused and/or neglected situations.

Anyway, with John's permission I am sending out this request on his behalf as he doesn't have e-mail right now. If anyone can please help either via financial donation of any kind or quality food and supplies for the animals it would surely help - especially for the rescue dogs. If you currently have a rescue dog with him, at the very least please help provide for the food or work out something so the full burden is not on him. Remember, he cannot take on new rescues on a discounted or fee free basis until the current dogs are fostered or adopted out. That isn't fair on the new dogs that need him urgently and in some cases, is literally a matter of life and death. Please do not use him as a foster home.

Before donating any type of food or supply, please contact John directly at (206) 409-5209 and ask him what he may need. I know he can always use crates but I'm sure there are other items that he can use. He stays away from the low quality food brands that serve only as food fillers and offer very little to no nutrition. Again, it's best to ask him directly so you know he will put your donation to use. If you prefer to make a financial donation you may send it to: John Panchotat P.O. Box 1102 - Issaquah, Washington 98027 and write on the check "E-MAIL REQUEST". John will be very thrilled and appreciative by any show of support.

We need to support ALL of those involved in saving animals and we each have a part to play. Each rescuer, foster, vet, trainer, donor and volunteer is critical to the welfare and future well being and happiness of the animal. Burn out comes quickly in this so let's try to avoid losing more good people by working together and sharing the load, sorrow and success.

Roxie, a doll who was saved by Jamie and Bryon by literally a day, goes
to her new home tomorrow!
Sorry no image...
Thank you to all who helped pass her info. along. She deserves heaven
on earth and will revel in it. GO Roxie!
