It would be really appreciated if everyone could help with a small contribution...you know as Mother Teresa said, many drops makethe ocean.... PLEASE HELP THIS DOG WALK AGAIN.
So what was the outcome???? I just got on the forum and saw this.

I have a little something in the works and hope to raise some money for the shelter, be looking for it on the forum sometime this weekend!

Is it what we 'talked' about last month????!!!!
I still keep trying to contact hotels for old towels and newspaper and they're just not getting back to me. It's such a simple thing, I don't know why they just don't answer me.

I've been waiting for this happy news! I'm in tears - I'm so happy the puppy will be feeling better soon! Did we do okay, Andy? As far as paying for the surgery? Were we close?

You are all amazing, i just checked the total and you have done it and with enough left over to cover his meds when he come out of the vets, ...
Just an update on things, we recieved a call from the Municipio and a director there had summoned us to his office yesterday at 12 ... needles to say were quite concerned turns out this guy is an animal lover and had \heard about what we were doing thru the grapevine and wanted us to meet Sandra the lady who runs the parrera, turns out i already knew her as she was one of the volounteer vets at the Vida clinic, anyway we spoke at length and the upshot is that the Parrera is hugely underfunded and she gets so many dogs and pups in there which according to government rulings only have 3 days to be rehomed or reunited with thier owners before she has to put them to sleep, somthing which she finds very distressing but has no option, she has asked us to help, most of the dogs they recieve are too sick or unsocial to help but there are a few that she feels caqn and will make wonderful pets and of course there are the lost pets that she does not want destroyed so we will be now taking some of these pooches , we wish we could take them all but unfortunatly as you all knoe we have limited space at the shelter and not enough funds as yet to build the possible 10 extra pens that we have planned.
Well as you are all aware we seem to have a bit of a storm heading our way ,if and when it hits we will be taking all of the dogs and cats into the house where we have some safe areas, once ive prepped them, after its gone we will be taking a couple of dogs from Sandra to save them form being put down, one is a lovely little cocker spaniel ~dashund mix, the other a beautiful young Labrador so i will post the pics when they arrived.
Ok guys ive got lots to do before tues and i will try to get on line again in the next day or so, i just have to say again ..thankl you..thank you..thank you to all of you for your continuing help and support
Andy

I was hoping for a better end to this story...like, the government was going to throw some funding your or Sandra's way, but of course not.

Still glad to hear you'll be working with Sandra, making the big difference together.

Given the approching storm, and our planned exodus to Chetumal, we might not make it to the shelter to say hi ... though we will still try.

In the meantime, we have sent a little something via Paypal that I know will help you guys out!

Thanks for everything you are doing down there.
