Question : what is the the best animal donating program?

Subject:looking for a little help

I wrote to you through E-mail about one week ago. I still have not received any return messages from your organization. In case it got lost ill’ just remind you what it was in refferenc to. I am The Proud parent of a german shepherd named Lexi, two 10 year old cats. One which is a rescue from heart and soul. He was starved and neglected. As a result of his life time of poor nutrition he has health problems. When we first brought hin home he was afraid of us and would gorge himself with food until he threw up. Also his teeth are not in the bset condition.I guess you could say he was emotionally fragile when he came home with us. Now he is the the most loving animal and I cant imagine life with out him. Some times he still eats all his food at once because he thinks he wont get fed again. As a result he throughs up and screams in pain from his stomach and then gets diareah. We do the best we can to keep him comfortable. And by the way his name is maxx. As for my other cat ive’ had him since birth his name is moses. He is a sweet boy and weighs 23lbs’. Its not that he is fat, he is what the vet call abnormally large. Since he is getting older he has developed joint pain. At first I though he was just getting crabby with old age. I only found out after he hurt himself ,(tore up his chest muscles) and had several X-Rays that he also was suffering from joint pain,muscle aches. When the vet put moses on Dexamethasone that’s when his mood was relaxed completely and nothing seemed to cause him pain. So even though his chest is healed he still gets minor aches and pains . That’s when the vet puts him back on the Dexamethasone and he is fine. As for my girl lexi (my German shepherd) she has a rare disorder. She has what has been diagnosed as exercise induced epilepsy. I never herd of it and the vet never has seen anything like it. She was going through hell until we found out what was wrong with her. Once we put on Phenobarbital she was like a new dog. She still has petite mal break throughs now and then, but very rarely. Any way my problem is I will be moving to texas in the next 4 to 5 months. I just cant afford to live in N.Y. anymore, Especialy being a single parent of a 14 year old child. We are literally being forced to leave. There are more jobs for what I do down there. I will not leave my animals here. I know no one would love them or care for them the way I do. Also they have special needs, they need me and my daughter. I have been donating to your organization for many years until recently due to my pets overwhelming medical bills. They are in the thousands. So I could no longer donate. I wanted to know if there is something you can do to help me pay to relocate my pets. The lowest cost I got was from a nice company called Pet movers . They quoted me a price of $ 2150.00. That also includes our little ferret Chester which they threw in for free as a multi pet discount. If you would like to call our vet re there medical HX feel free, Ask for Dr Alison Rhien 631-271-8383 . Her place of health is known as Dix Hills Animal Hospital in Dix Hills NY. I know im asking a lot here but I need help with my pets. If you cant help me please direct me to some one who can. Thank you for your time , Barbara Oest 631 462 4998
dear friend ,thank you so much for your input. but my main concern is finding donatoins to help with this move. I have donated to the HSUS for many years and the ASCPA. only when my girl lexi ( my dog) started having a craxy amount of tests and costs me thousands of dollars i could not donate any more. I was just trying to find some one (organization) to help me afford the moving of the animals. i cant leave them behind . they depend on me for all there special medical needs that no one else would do for them. and i love them WITH ALL MY HEART. so if you can figure out any ideas please let me know . the apprasel for them is currently $ 2150.00. they pick up and deliver door to door never leaving there side on the plane. Again thank you for answering. texasboundbrat@yahoo.com

What, exactly is your question? You open with something about animal donating program which I thought meant something about donating the animals to science or other people but that clearly isn’t your intention.

Are you looking for donations to help move the animals?

Why are you unable to move them yourself?

The cats and ferret go into carries and then Lexi lays down in the back sit and you and your daughter sit in the front two seats.

Are you flying? I think you might find it cheaper to move the animals yourself in a rental car or van. Lexi might have to go into a carrier as well and while those can be pricey in the long run the old girl will do so much better with you and it will be at least comparable to the service you quoted.
