PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! From New Jersey and New York

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Do you have $5.00 Bucks in your pocket?  I CHALLENGE YOU TO $5.00 BUCKS.  THAT'S ALL

I've been waiting here in Ohio to find out how I can help the animals effected by Hurricane Sandy.

If you have heard of any other good or reputable charities please feel free to add them here.  Let's all get together on this one. It is an Emergency. Let's Help

The following letter came from PETPLAN.  As stated in this letter, PetPlan will match dollar to dollar your donation if you are a member.

 

1)   I don't know if the Secure DONATION BUTTON link will work here in this discussion,  so I have added the link below just in case.

2) Lynne has added additional links. Please see below.  Several local area rescues in NJ have put a call out for HELP! .  Animals are coming in everyday.  Please see her links!

 

3) Adrianne Matzkin, has added a letter to this discussion with more addresses and numbers.  So many!  So many need our help.

Whether you've been a part of the Petplan family for six days or six years, you know that at Petplan, pets come first. Right now in the Northeast, in many of Petplan's neighboring communities, families are reeling from the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy. As heartbreaking as it is to watch our neighbors struggle after losing their homes and possessions, it is equally as tragic to consider those four-legged family members who were injured, displaced or worse, as a result of the storm.

While it will likely be months before we know how many pets were affected by Sandy, animals rescued from harm's way are being cared for at emergency shelters in the area. In Port Washington, NY, more than 650 animals now fill the North Shore Animal League America's shelter - with another 100 animals temporarily housed aboard the group's Mobile Rescue Units. Their medical team is providing treatment and comfort to animals that need special care, and the group is working around the clock to find every pet a place to go home to.

As a longtime partner of the North Shore Animal League America, Petplan is committed to aiding in the mission of caring for the ani..., and is making a $5,000 donation to support those efforts.

Additionally, we pledge to match - dollar for dollar - every donation made by members of the Petplan family, up to an additional $5,000.

With your support and generosity, we can direct 15,000 much-needed dollars to helping pets in need.

Please stand with us in giving hope and comfort to not only the helpless pets affected by the storm, but to the thousands of people - like you, and like us - for whom a soft nuzzle and a furry paw can be the best medicine to begin mending a broken heart.

All the very best,

Natasha Ashton
co-founder & co-CEO

Thank you, F.  Perfect

[Bonnie and Kona]

Thank you for posting this very helpful information. I hope these dogs are able to be reunited with their families soon. The whole disaster has spread so much trauma.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Stuart has PetPlan so I'm off to go donate and get those matching dollars!!!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Thank you, Jane, Rooney, and Stuart.  You get a Sticker for being good.  <---okay, that was a joke.

[Jennett Pulley]

I have done may fundraisers through my business for various SPCAs.  I do NOT want to break any rules here, so if anyone is interested in learning more, I am happy to help.  You can do a little Christmas shopping and 100% of the profits will be donated. 

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Thank you so much for the offer, Jennett.  Right now, I am just picking a few links and asking others to do the same.  Everyone's money is tight, but we all have $5.00. Right?

A fund raiser is a good idea, and we have had them here on DK even several times to fix hips, eyes, tumors, backs,  for one dog in need.  Right now, I think they need it all and they need it all NOW!

But certainly, in the future, let Adina know what your intentions are and she can help you.  So many are in need now and will be in the future

[Jennett Pulley]

I sure will!  Thanks!  Last year we raised $5k in 4 weeks for a group of rescued ponies that were being hoarded.  With money tight, it was easier to ask people to give money when they got a product back in hand.  I will certainly message her. 

I've donated!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

GREAT IDEA!   Yes, everything on that scale has to go through Adina but it would be a great idea and project. Let me  know if help is needed. I'm in.

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

 just donated through the Petplan link but there was nothing requesting info from me about my Petplan membership.  How will they know and match the members contributions?

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

I believe, if you just use their link, they assume you are one of them  :)    You do have to give your name and information.  Sophisticated online databases matched you up right away.

Joanna, thank you so much. I can't believe all these links are searching for food, supplies, fosters, HELP!
