A Call To Arms, Volunteers Needed
Horst Hoefinger

On Wednesday I posted The Missouri 75, about the dogs that were rescued from a breeder who set fire to his property. There were over 200 dogs saved, they were split into smaller groups to make the situation more manageable for the shelters helping out.

I received a message from Gina Higgins at the Raytown Animal Hospital Adoption Center, they are caring for 70 of the dogs.  They are a small facility and desperately in need of volunteers and donations.

We are working with a rescue group call Midwest Paws. They have rescued 70 German Short Hair Pointers from the puppy mill that was set on fire last week in southwestern Missouri! We are housing ALL 70 at our tiny shelter!

We are looking for people that can help out by VOLUNTEERING.
anytime is great however mornings are desperately needed so far this week there has been only 1 (me) -2 people from 7-9am to start the days out

We NEED more help!

WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN:
walk dogs
Clean cages
Help organize
Answer phones
Greet people coming in
Help take in donations
Help to socialize the dogs (and cats)
Play with dogs
Transport dogs
Help deliver donated items that people are unable to deliver themselves (we have a dishwasher that was donated and 3 pallets of food that all need to be picked up by tomorrow evening!)
