Wish Lists
Our 'wish' listLike all charitable organizations, the down turn of the economy hit us as hard as it did everyone else. Expenses continue to escalate, generally exceed the adoption donation of any given dog and we are always limited bythe number of dogs we can save from death by the amount of resources we have.Product donations - There are specific products we buy every week for the dogs and puppies we are fostering - we can greatly appreciate either gift cards from the various retailers that sell these products or direct product donations can be dropped off at adoption:Royal Canin - available at any petshop - Why Royal Canine for Chihuahuas? Most shelter dogs are underweight to severely emaciated; many have dental disease and issues; Royal Canin is a bit more expensive but in the long run, it is more nutritional, the ingredients are better used by these little guys' digestive systems and at times, 'time is of the essence' to getting one of these guys healthy again. Long time experience with this product has proven it to do what the marketing people say it will.Nature's Miracle - Why Nature's Miracle? Again, tried-and-true hands on experience, for we've tried so many products without the results Nature's Miracle renders. Many shelter dogs are not house-trained and/or the transition into a home environment causes accidents until we get them in a routine. In some instances, a white vinegar & water solution works well, but you can't use that in all situations.Pitty Pads (or pee pads) - We use a LOT of these, especially when we have litters of puppies coming through!Greenies - We buy two types - the senior and the 'Lite' version in the only 'Teenies' size because of the dogs we normally save. Many shelter dogs have dental issues and this product helps lower the plaque, doesn't make them aggressive like pigs ears can do --- plus our dogs really love them! Dehydrated chicken strips - various brands - Costco's seems to be the cheapest around, but there are times we go through these like water when training (or un-training bad habits~~!!!) in shelter dogs.PETCO and PetSmart both offer gift cards that can be purchased online and sent to TLC, using your credit card, PetSmart also offers e-gift certificates that don't cost extra shipping costs.Donations - In less than a five-month space of time, TLC was hit by over $11,000+ in vet fees for just three dogs (all under 18 months old). While some vets will give discounts to rescue groups that are registered non-profits by the IRS, many do not - their veterinary practices have been hit just as hard by the economy. We can ALWAYS use financial donations - even a small amount might just be enough for us to go ahead and save that next needy dog before they are put down. Donations can be a one-time thing or set up to reoccur every month with your credit card. And if you need an additional receipt for your taxes, just let us know!
