Can You Make Some Magic This Holiday Season?

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Holidays are approaching quickly!

Families and Friends are gathering, often for the first time in months.

There's shopping and cooking and cleaning and wrapping and decorating and traveling.

BUT ...

Cairns.
Sitting in the bitter cold.
Waiting and wondering and wishing.
Hoping and dreaming of more in this life.
Of being warm and dry and clean and fed and watered and sheltered and loved.

BUT ...

We are full.
That's the truth of it.
Col. Potter has so many in care already.
Yet more have knocked on our door, begging for help.
Do you have a space for a foster - maybe an hour a day for a foster?
Do you have an extra bowl for a foster - a warm place for them to rest their weary head?

We have been contacted by a Vet Clinic to help with a USDA mill shut down. This mill was reported to the USDA by the AKC.

There are 151 dogs who need to be out by FRIDAY of this week. There are THIRTY cairns. Can we help them ALL? Nope. Can we help some? Possibly. If we get foster home commitments, spaces to put these kids.

It sure is a crazy time of year to find the time and energy to do what has to be done, let alone fit in ONE MORE thing! To have to add yet another thing on our TO DO list. But can we turn our backs because of this? Can we leave them sitting in a cold, dirty, lonely wire cage?

Or, can we say YES! knowing that it may mean that the foster is crated a bit more than we would like for them to be? That maybe for a few weeks the new addition might not get the 100% we really want to give them. But in the end, they will get the best gift of all, a forever family and a chance at true happiness.

Please think about these little ones, and know that the cold hard truth is that ANYTHING we offer in the foster home is a HUGE improvement over where they are right now. ANYTHING! And their 'right now' is the worst of the worst of the worst.

You might be able to give the best gift of all this holiday season to one of these kids, the give of a start toward a WONDERFUL LIFE! Do you have just one hour a day? Can you make some magic for a little cairn?

If you can foster one of these most needy little babes, please email Col. Potter's Director of Foster Homes at CPCRNFosterHomes@gmail.com or check out our Foster Facts.

Yes, we are shamelessly begging as the voice for those who have no one. Please, can you help???
