You Can Help These Homeless Animals In So Many Ways.....

The SPCA Eastern Shore is  still accepting monetary donations for roof repairs  so the animals that live there  and those that work there can stay dry.  This is quite an expense so they have asked the public to be kind enough to donate. 

The SPCA Eastern Shore located in  Onley, Virginia is a no-kill facility.  They provide food, shelter,  and medical care to the animals as they wait for adoption into a   forever home.  All this is very costly and the SPCA Eastern Shore runs its facility with donations from people like me and you and by sponsoring fund raisers.

If you would like to send a donation of any amount go to this website for the necessary information or find them on facebook.

SPCA Eastern Shore Needs Everyones Help

Dear SPCA Eastern Shore Friends:

We know how many solicitations we all get, no matter what time of year. At the SPCA, since we can only count on your contributions and our fund raisers to help us care for our No-Kill shelter animals, we sometimes put off important projects until they are critical. We're facing one of those situations now.

We asked a roofer to try and help us identify why we were getting some leaks around the ventilation ducts. When he went up on the roof to check and repair these two leaks, he found the entire roof in bad shape. Nails are protruding through the shingles, the shingles are peeling and falling apart and some of the roofing plywood needs to be removed and replaced. In short, we need to spend approximately $18,000.00 to replace the roof, depending on the amount of substructure that need to be replaced. We have already received four bids.

Our question to our many supporters is, "Can you help us keep our shelter pets dry?"
Built in 1990, the SPCA Eastern Shore shelter is structurally sound but in need of some repairs and improvements. We have had some plumbing problems that have been fixed and we are working on fixing the heating and air conditioning which are all critical for our pets, staff and visitors. But we can't keep patching the roof beyond a certain point and that point has been reached.

We DON'T want to have to cut back on the number of pets we can shelter so we're asking for your help. We will replace the roof but we want to do it with the least interruption of services.

We ARE fortunate to have a matching funds donor that is offering us $5,000.00 if we can raise an additional $10,000.00 which would get us more than half way to our goal. If you can help, please do so by sending your donation to the SPCA Eastern Shore at:

26528 Lankford Hwy.
PO Box 164
Onley, VA 23418

OR:

Go to our web site: http://www.shorespca.com/ and donate through our secure paypal account. Under your shipping information there is a place to make a note, just add ROOF and you can rest assured your donation will go directly to the roofing fund.

OR:

Call us @ 757-787-7385 for more information.

Thank you for helping us to keep our shelter pets dry!

Christmas Wish To Help Dog Named JAZZ

OCEAN CITY – Worcester County Humane Society (WCHS) has sheltered and cared for a dog whose fight for life deserves for her Christmas wish to be answered.

According to Meggin McKnight of the Worcester County Humane Society, Jazz was left on the shelter’s doorstep a few months ago.
Jazz is the mother of the puppy featured in the beginning of October that was adopted by a family from Baltimore via Facebook.

“She was almost starved to death and was skin and bones with the exception of her swollen belly,” McKnight wrote. “A trip to Dr. Manniaty confirmed that she was indeed pregnant with 15 puppies.”

Out of the 15 puppies, only seven survived.

“They were all quickly adopted but Jazz remained,” she said.

Once the puppies were delivered and adopted, Jazz’s struggle remained.

“We were aware that she had some trauma to her hind legs as there were pins holding her ankles together,” McKnight wrote.

While being spayed, the doctor and staff discovered that her ankle was severely shattered and her hip was dislocated. She eventually stopped using that leg due to the pain. It was determined that she would have to loose that leg.

“We feared that she had bone cancer,” McKnight said. “However, Jazz finally caught a break when the biopsy showed no sign of cancer.”
Jazz’s surgery was a success, according to McKnight, who said, “she gets around almost better than before.”

After everything that Jazz has gone through, she continues to be sweet and loving, all at the shelter agree.

“It is nothing short of amazing,” McKnight said.

Jazz remains in foster care during recovery. Although she receives the proper attention, her follow-up visits to the vet and medication costs are astounding.

“We want to reach out to this amazing community of ours in the hopes that someone could possibly help us with her vet bill,” McKnight wrote.

Call the shelter at 410-213-0146 to help Jazz with her care or to check up on her adoption status. Jazz is also featured on the Worcester County Humane Society Facebook page.
