Dead Beat Sponsors




Duncan had a dead beat owner and ended up at a high kill shelter in his golden years. For a senior to qualify for our seniors program, they must have a sponsor willing to send a $25 donation each month for a 12 month period. Duncan had a "committed" sponsor, so our rescue acted in good faith and pulled him. Duncan's sponsor turned out to be a deadbeat as did Babs sponsor! Babs is a senior Chow who is also in need of a monthly sponsor. We have several rescues in need of sponsors - many of them are seniors. Vet account update - as of Friday we owed $1,309 on our vet account. If you would like to make a donation to our vet account please send your check to Lake Country Animal Clinic Attn. Pound Pals Donation Account 1124 FM 564 Mineola, Texas 75773. We have been feeding our rescues and fosters a mixture of dog foods from donated sources. The donations are not enough to sustain the dogs and switching the brands so frequently causes intestional flare ups. We would like to go to a regular brand and feed only that. We did some checking and the best value we have found is 50 pound bags of Country Acres which is a Purina product. The dogs seem to like it - they eat it well and it keeps their stools nice and firm. The 50 pound bags cost $12 each and we need approximately 15 bags each week. If you can be a food sponsor, please let us know. We would like to find sixty committed food sponsors that can donate one bag ($12) per month.
