Operation Puppy Love
Here’s how Stokes County Humane Society’s partnership with North Shore Animal League works:
SCHS volunteers rescue puppies from the Stokes County Animal Shelter.
SCHS provides volunteer foster families with food, crates, bedding, toys, and veterinary care.
Volunteer foster families quarantine (for up to 14 days), vaccinate, worm, and love puppies for three to six weeks.
SCHS sends puppies to the vet for a check-up and a certificate of good health.
SCHS arranges to transport puppies to the ASPCA shelter in Martinsville, VA.
NSAL sends a transport shuttle from Port Washington, NY to Martinsville, VA.
Puppies are loaded onto the transport shuttle and taken to the NSAL shelter (sometimes foster mommies cry at this stage, FYI).
Puppies are vetted again, cleaned up, and put up for adoption.
Happy families in NY adopt puppies and love them for their whole furry lives.
Everyone lives happily ever after.
Seems simple enough, yes?
SCHS needs foster families and sponsors in order to make this program work. If you are interested in fostering one to three puppies for three to six weeks, or if you are able to sponsor one to three puppies (think vet bills, care expenses), please contact Stokes County Humane Society today. Our volunteers have made us the organization we are today. Join SCHS – the sky is the limit for tomorrow.
It costs us 18 per puppy to send these kids to safety... can't foster? Can you spare a few dollars?
We are avg. sending 32 puppies a month! Help us save more by fostering or an a small sponsorship! Below are just a few kids who were able to go and live a full life because of this program. Help us help them.. $18 is not that much!
