Hi y'all. I come to this board a lot to read and sometimes post. I was in Straight-Springfield in the late 1980s. Since leaving Straight, sometimes my dogs have been the only good thing in my life.
Can I ask people on this board to help four dogs in desperate need of help? They are running loose here in Culpeper County, Virginia. They have mange and live, shivering, under a car. I found a shelter that might be able to help and take these dogs in, get them medical care and a place to live with shelter and regular food -- IF I can find money for these dogs' vet bills, which, since two of them, at least, have mange, could cost up to $3000.
I am hoping that other people on this board are animal lovers too. If everyone just sent one to five dollars to the address below, and said in a note to the shelter that it was especially for the dogs in Culpeper County that Beth found, I think this would make a huge impression on them and they might start helping sooner than later. This is an emergency situation because Animal Control is also trying to get these dogs and will only kill them. They have already killed two other dogs that lived in the same yard.
Please visit Friends of Homeless Animals at

Please tell them it is for the four dogs in Culpeper County that Beth found. They are really wonderful people. They have already taken in one other dog that I found that lived, night and day, on a short chain.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I know it is not the usual thing to do to post requests like this on this board, and might be considered "improper". But hey, who else can I reach out to? Where else can I reach so many people who understand about being left to suffer alone?
THANK YOU,
