Animal Rescue In Crisis – Must Relocate ASAP

January 24, 2011

Okay here it is folks. As many of you know I’ve spent the last two years trying to hold the rescue together during a herendous divorce only to have the judge rule that the property be sold at short sale as my husband requested. This was ordered in October and my husband has done nothing further including paying the mortgage that he is fully responsible for. There was another notice on my gate Friday January 21st and the mortgage company says they are turning things over to legal and beginning foreclosure and the lady went on to say I should spend the next 2 weeks making arrangements to get relocated before it’s to late. The mortgage is in my husbands name only and I have no say in anything there. Also, the more I put into this place is less money I have toward a new property. There will be no money coming out of the sale of the property if that even takes place at all as the mortgage my husband took out is upside down.

Now many people have said it takes months or years for short sales and months for foreclosures but these animals lives depend on me and I can not take that chance. I’ve heard matter of weeks from some who are in law enforcemnt and such. Moving everyone is going to be a large undertaking as it is so property must be obtained and readied for them before hand. We are really out of time and I’ve not been able to raise any funds towards relocating. My husband owes me back alimony that would cover a move but he’s not paying it. He doesn’t want me to have chance to move he wants the animals destroyed because he knows that will destroy me.

With all the contacts I have if everyone gave just $5 to the cause we could raise the money to put down on property and cover setup and moving. That’s not much but it does take everyone. For everyone that doesn’t that’s $5 more that needs to be raised elsewhere. This is a crisis and matter of life and death for these animals and it’s really not much more than giving up a cup of coffee. I have found property only to have it slip away with downpayments of anywhere from 1900 to 3500. This is heartbreaking to have good properties come up for the animals and not be able to get them. I have devoted my entire life to animals and rescue without ever asking for anything until my husband set out to destroy everything I’ve worked for.

We need a minimum of 5 acres but more so 10 to 15 to be able to care for the animals and have income to support them. It has to be agriculture/non restricted zoning allowing for pets and livestock, ponds and such including pigs. We need owner financing with low down low monthly so we can get established as it will be great expense to get set up for the animals in the first place. We need help, volunteers to help us with setup and moving when ready. It needs to be able to allow for camper or mobile home to lesson set up expense. We need donations desperatly.

In an emergency we’d be happy with anyone willing to donate and acre or two for temp housing while making permenant arrangements and set up. We must ensure there is a safe place for the animals immediatly. They can not be left alone so I must be able to be on the property with them if only in travel trailer.

I have done countless fundraisers to not much success. There has been rather a reduction in donations. My off property work hours have been almost non existant since September as well. We’ve gotten by for two years with struggle, prayers and blessings but we need your help greatly to make this move.

Please find it in your heart to help us in this hour of need. That is what it is too. We need these dear beings moved out of here yesterday to ensure they stay safe, happy and healthy. We need everyones support and for everyone to help spread the word that we need support and to help us look for property. I have been so bogged down with court and legal things that it has made a tough task near impossible. I can not do this alone any longer. My husband will not rest as long as I am here he will do everything in his power to try and have these innocent animals destroyed just to hurt me.

I have donation buttons on my website as well as monthly sponsorships available on my sponsorship page as follows:

Any donations are tax deductable and most appreciated. It is through peoples continued support in our efforts that we are able to make the lives of animals better and give them peace at last in life, rather than death.

Please Help Rescue The Rescue

September 10, 2010

I have been in a year and a half long now divorce from my husband. He is jealous of the animals and is doing everything in his power to force the closure of the rescue. He asked the court for the property to be placed for immediate sale which was not granted. He has now decided to step outside the boundries of the court by not paying the mortgage he had taken out on the property. The mortgage was to have put up a building, barn and complete the fencing and other things needed around the rescue. None of this took place.

Now without my knowledge he stopped paying the mortgage payment. I am not on the mortgage nor is the address of the property so I was just notified when a notice was hung on my gate. It states that if $1650 is not paid by September 27th they will begin forclosure and issue a 10 day notice to vacate. That will leave me, my mother and all the animals here at the rescue with no where to go. He knows this and is what he is striving for as he knows the animals would be seized and destroyed breaking my spirit and crushing my life long work of rescue abused animals. He has no concern for the animals. Our divorce hearing has been continued to October 8th and will be to late.

Please go to our website’s fundraiser page and our How you can help page where you will find ways to help us raise money that don’t cost anything like good search that donates a penny every time you search the web in our name using goodsearch.com just enter our name in the charity box and click verify and start searching. It’s that easy.

We also need donations as much or as little as you can to help get us through this trying time. The cost of feeding and caring for the animals is already great but without the property there will be no where for the aniamls so it is for them. All donations are tax deductible.

Please help us keep our rescue and continue to provide a home for these aniamls that are so much in need. If you can donate, if you don’t have the money search with goodsearch. Every search counts! Spread the word to get others to help. It takes a community to save an animal. Let’s pull together as a community to save the rescue.
