RE: Introducing Tazewell Animal Rescue Coalition
Wow, I just noticed. Is that a pure white chihuahua on the porch. We had one name of Snuggles. Had to send him onward a couple years ago and miss him every day. I just want to bring Andy home and make him happy.
Sadly, I would imagine that family allows those dogs to breed willy-nilly, resulting in genetic defects and more overpopulation for the local pound to deal with. How do you teach people to spay and neuter when so many families in Appalachia can't even afford dental care and eyeglasses for their children?
There's isn't much I could do about the social issues in that area, but as far as the dogs go, there are a number of crowdfunding project that could quickly drive money to the animal rescues.
We've tried every crowdfunding option I know of. The key is reach--how to reach the people willing to give. If you have ideas, I'm listening. But after about a dozen GoFundMe and YouCaring efforts by at least as many people, I'm feeling a little burned on crowdfunding.
It would help to see the pitch pages you've done. When you get a chance, send the links in Discord. You're right, when charitable crowdfunding first started, out was much easier, but now it's saturated. Are gofundme and youcaring the only ones' you've tried?
Others have tried different ones, I think. I'll have to really dig to find those. I can get to the YouCaring ones easily, though. Let me get the photos sorted for the Vermont rescue that I just took of the pups and I'll holler at you in Discord.
I just want to add that our Discord chat was very productive. It made my night, knowing the quality of help our group is beginning to receive. :-)
