Does anyone know where the funds go? Sometimes I wonder if anyone is really aware of how funds are spent at SOME, rewscues. I look over the posts everyday and see more and more rescues asking for help. There are no regulations or overseeing commitee's that can see what happens so what's up? I know there are several rescues out there that need funds and most are so small they rarely get a mention. We ran a pseudo rescue in florida where ferrets brought back to the petco were turned over to us as they could not ethically re-sell them. We took in probably 40 ferts over a three year period and placed them all and only once had a return . We didn't charge an adoption fee, we would have them list at least 10 people they know that could vouch for them. We would call them and ask how they knew the person. We would also do a meet and greet at their home to make sure they didn't have a dangerous house of apartment. We never asked for anything. We didn't hound for anything and we made it all work. I can see asking for help but do you think we can hear from some of the litttle guys once in a while , I once saw a small rescue ask for help and it was shoved to the back burner as the big rescues pushed in to grab up the bucks . That wasn't fair to the little guy. So to all you small rescues who keep slugging it out , god bless you . Mark (Death Adder) [Posted in FML issue 4301]
