Is it really fair to cast aspersions on a dog rescue because it uses Smarm-a-Logo for a fundraiser? In the recent top story there were quite a few catty comments. I took the time to check out this Big Dog rescue. As several pointed out, they are getting a return on their lavish spending.
Now, I agree that it’s likely that other properties in that part of Florida would be equally suitable and less costly. THAT is an issue for the charity’s board to take up, since it appears the Trumpette in question is the president and she’s been shoveling money in his direction for quite some time.
On the other hand, it looks like the rescue org itself has done good work. It’s a shame that a member of the Crime Family Trump has any association with them, but let’s do more.
So here’s a suggestion: make a donation to any of these equally (perhaps more) deserving rescue operations in the same part of the state.
I suggest $16.21, to remind the recipients that the amount reflects the donor’s awareness of the previous guy’s attempt to upend the Republic.
And you know, if you are a web designer, maybe you can volunteer to help a couple of the smaller operations with their web presence.
I don’t know any more about each than what’s on the web pages. Several appear to be real shoestring operations, while Darbster looks well-funded. They move southern pets north to no-kill adoption organizations. Barky Pines seems to take, for example, sheep or goats too.
I’ve included the animal control office in case anyone wants to follow up on any of the animals held there — only a few, but I’m afraid they are not a no-kill operation. On the other hand, if they are, there are multiple rescues that can step in a rehome the inmates there.
