It's My Birthday

 "Happy Dog" by Nicola Slattery
|
This month -- August, 2012 -- I will turn 50 years old.

|
|
I have so much -- a house, my dogs and cats, my husband John - I don't need much more than what I have.
But I do know an organization that really needs help.

Apache Dogs
It is Save Our Dogs, which operates out of the St. Francis Church, on the Apache Reservation, in Whiteriver, AZ. Rosalie Henning runs the rescue. She calls the strays "Apache Dogs."

About Save Our Dogs
We are a small Franciscan parish in Whiteriver, Ariz., on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. Our priest, Fr. Eddie Fronske, ofm, takes care of the parishes at Whiteriver, Cibecue and Canyon Day. We have lost about $35,000.00 in grants for this year.
There is an unemployment rate of 80% to 90% on the Reservation.
In the spirit of St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, we have been feeding the stray dogs that come to the church. We have spayed and neutered and given emergency medical treatment to as many as we could.

Rocky Mountain Ticks
The Reservation is home to both many stray dogs and a severe Rocky Mountain Tick infestation.
Tick Fever
The dogs get Tick Fever. It's uncomfortable for the dogs, and expensive for the rescue.
My Birthday
We can eliminate the Tick Fever problem if all of the strays at the rescue are properly treated. For my birthday, would you consider donating some tick repellent to help the Apache Dogs?
