Martindale dogs have been rescued! We (they) need your help!

Dear Friends,
Great news! The three Martindale, TX dogs have been rescued! But there is still an urgent need for: (1) donations to cover medical expenses; (2) vans/minivans and large crates for transport; and (3) foster homes to care for the dogs until they are adopted.
FOUR WAYS YOU CAN HELP
(1) VETERINARY EXPENSES. To help with medical care for the dogs, please visit the following page, click the PayPal icon, and make a donation. Anything helps, no matter how much!

(2) VANS/MINIVANS AND LARGE CRATES. Vans/minivans and large crates are needed to help with the next phase of the dogs' relocation. If you can lend your van/minivan and/or large crate for transport, please contact Chris Schulman at chris.schulman@austinpetsalive.org or Pat Valls-Trelles at patvt5@gmail.com .
(3) FOSTER HOMES. To offer a foster home, please contact Chris Schulman at chris.schulman@austinpetsalive.org or Pat Valls-Trelles at patvt5@gmail.com . The dogs' rescuers report that they are VERY SWEET and absolutely starved for affection. It should also be noted that they have been on a chain for an extended period of time, so there may be special needs involved in their care and rehabilitation.
(4) SPREAD THE NEWS. Please forward this message to every kind-hearted person on your contact list!

These dogs have suffered so much and for so long, it is truly a miracle that they have been rescued and now have a second chance at a better life. Huge kudos and many thanks to all the heroic people who have stepped up to make this happen, and to all who are offering help with their care and transition.
Thank you for your compassion!
