PAST
2009 was another very busy year for Bobbi and the Strays. We adopted out over 240 dogs and over 350 cats – more than 600 adoptions for 2009! And that number does not even take into account other dogs and cats that we assisted in getting into great homes or helped to remain in their homes.
2009 was also a year very hard hit by the recession. People continue still to suffer through and more animals are being abandoned. Worse may be the animals that are forced to suffer from serious medical conditions because they go untreated. And due to our rescue of these abandoned and abused animals – it has prevented us from taking more animals from non-no-kill shelters.
PRESENT
February 17th marked the anniversary of the launch of our new website. It is hard to believe that it has been an entire year already. If you have not perused the site yet – or in a while – please do so today – www.BobbiAndTheStrays.org.
The recession continues to take its toll on everyone including poor dogs and cats and struggling rescue groups alike. We continue to become aware of shelters or rescue groups that are forced to close due to high operational costs required for such endeavors. This makes it that much harder for those shelters that are left, like ours, and already struggling with less funding and greater demand.
FUTURE
Bobbi and the Strays continues on with our important work. We are not truly sure of what the future may hold for us – especially with the loss of the building where our larger dogs are housed. For more information – click here.
We are extremely grateful to all of those who have supported us this past year – to all those that have donated, adopted, volunteered, fostered, sponsored - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is because of you that we have been able to get through 2009. And we truly want to highlight our thanks to our wonderful and caring Volunteers – for all of their efforts and all the love they give our animals – THANK YOU!
Things are tough and may continue to get tougher. The number of animals that need help is increasing every day – and these animals need all of the help they can get. If you can help us in any way – please do so. Volunteer and Donate today!
