Thanks to everyone for helping our humane society to fill a 34' RV full of animal food and supplies that will help save the lives of many animals! Mascoma Bank sponsored the cost of the travel, making this project doable. A big thank you for their continued help.
IBEX Outdoor Clothing Company's employees chose VVSA as the recipient of a donation to help the animals, and we want to thank them, too, for their support. What an incredible business that allows employees to bring their dogs to work :)
VT Volunteer Services for Animals Humane Society was able to fill the RV owned by volunteer Barry Newton with cat, dog, horse, bird and rabbit food - 32 banana boxes full of dry and canned food, vari-kennels, pet carriers enabling abandoned animals to find their way to safety, medical supplies including flea, tick, ear mite medicine, antibiotics, sub-Q fluids, towels, kitty litter, water, bedding, toys and miscellaneous items weighing over 2,000 lbs and valued at slightly over $20,000 - which just arrived in Florida for transport to St. Martin!
Six 72" large dog traps and cat traps were also able to be purchased and sent to various locations throughout Florida affected by the Hurricane. Thanks to donations, these live traps will enable animals too frightened to come to rescuers quickly and easily.
While volunteers were loading the RV, we talked about the need to continue this effort to help not only animals, but people, too. The islands, paradise on earth, have taken an unimaginable hit. We can surely help. Something as easy as sorting summer clothing to send when considering what to put away for the winter, contributing medicines, canned foods, flashlights and batteries, water - the essentials of life, can be sent to Miami for transport to Puerto Rico.
We'd like to arrange collections and are asking churches and businesses interested in this undertaking to contact us at 802-672-5302. Transport to the islands is resuming and this rescue effort can be managed as a group. A huge thank you to everyone that helped with contributions, hands-on help, networking and the coverage in the papers of this project. In advance, thank you for your consideration of an extended effort.
Together We Truly Do Make A Difference!
On behalf of the animals that can't thank you, we do.
