A heartbreaking story about a disabled woman whose landlords refused to allow her to keep her companion dog, even with a doctor’s note, because it exceeded their newly imposed weight limitations for pets.
The settlement will help the woman with practical matters, but it can’t erase the emotional pain she’s suffered.
Dogs at risk are being rescued -- with your help
You already know that a portion of every online purchase at Dogstuff.com goes to support rescue. But we thought you’d like to know about a specific case of your rescue funds in action.
This weekend, K9 Northwest, a training and rescue facility in Tacoma, is on a marathon mission to rescue dogs from Camp Wolfgang, a rescue operation with 200 dogs (primarily German Shepherds, but other breeds as well) near Dallas, Texas.
Camp Wolfgang was forced to close by budget problems thanks to the struggling economy, and had to empty its facilities on short notice, leaving dozens of dogs at risk of euthanasia.
We’ve gotten word that the good folks at K9 Northwest reached Camp Wolfgang last night, and are on their way back to Tacoma with 27 dogs. We’re delighted to help sponsor this generous and compassionate effort with donations from the Special Rescue Fund at Dogstuff’s Rescue First program.
Thank you again for your support of rescue operations like this one.
