The first of NC Golden Refugees will be released to FHGRR on Thursday
May 8. These were the ones at the home and removed by a friend before
police intervention and are not as "bad" as the ones at the business.
The release of the 18 survivors confiscated from the business and still
at the shetler has not been set. I have sent a private email to the
folks that offered "physically" help with the dogs and gave them a list
of volunteer tasks. One of the things that I'm asking is that we create
at "team" of helpers for each dog, so that the single foster home is not
overwhelmed. I would like to add more people in this role. Please
consider and email if you can help for a few hours.

And secondly, these dogs, as well as the 18 still at the shelter are
going to need alot of expensive rehabilitation and vet care. I did not
reply to any of the prevous offers of donations becuase I was not sure
that the dogs would be in our hands. For anyone that would like to make
a donation for their care, it can be sent to NC Golden Refugees Fund,
FHGRR, PO Box 9077, Greenville, SC 29604.

The Haywood County shelter also deserves donations for their care and
those can be mailed to: Care for Seized Golden Retrievers, Hayood
County Animal Sheleter, 245 Hemlock St., Waynesville, NC 28786
