By purchasing products from the iHugDogs store, funds are raised for the non-profit organization “Greater Good Charities.” This organization supports various animals through its GOODS Program, which delivers healthy meals to shelters and rescue organizations. Thanks to such donations, numerous animals have already been saved.
Friends With Four Paws, based in Oklahoma City, is among the organizations benefiting from the generosity of Greater Good Charities. The devoted volunteers at this rescue play a vital role in rescuing dogs from various distressing situations, offering these dogs a renewed opportunity at life.
Among the recent rescues, nine dogs were liberated from a harrowing puppy mill where 36 dogs were confined in a U-Haul without access to food or water. The rescue occurred in sweltering conditions, with the temperature inside the U-Haul exceeding 100 degrees. These dogs, accustomed to a life of breeding for profit, are now experiencing love and proper care for the first time. Notably, one of the Schnauzers is pregnant, and the entire group of breeding dogs is finally receiving the attention they deserve.
Another recent intake involves kittens and Chihuahua puppies that were raised together in substandard conditions within a hoarder-type home. These newcomers joined the ongoing stream of dogs arriving at the rescue. Some dogs are surrendered to the rescue when their owners can no longer provide care, such as Sunny, an Australian Shepherd puppy. Sunny was confined outdoors in a crate 24/7 because her owners felt she had too much energy.
All the animals under the care of Friends With Four Paws currently reside in foster homes. Foster homes are invaluable for dogs with challenging pasts, as the loving environment aids in their rehabilitation before adoption. These dogs receive nourishment, affection, and attentive care.
The ability to rescue dogs from abuse and neglect is greatly facilitated by the donations from Greater Good Charities, particularly through the GOODS Program, which supplies food and essential items to the rescue. By alleviating the burden of food costs, the rescue can allocate more funds to conduct rescue missions and provide medical care.
Friends With Four Paws emphasized the significance of bulk food donations, stating that without them, they wouldn’t be able to accommodate the number of animals in their rescue. The combination of high food costs and substantial medical bills would severely limit the assistance they can offer.
Every purchase from the iHeartDogs store contributes to supporting rescues and enables them to save dogs facing challenging circumstances, as highlighted in this article. Even modest donations can have a substantial impact on animals in need. A heartfelt thank you to all the heroes who have shopped at the iHugDogs store to aid in the rescue of dogs!
