People have been abandoning dogs in the Homestead/Everglades areas for a few months now. Dogs are starving and getting hit by cars. Some dogs are having puppies and the puppies aren’t there a day later, probably being eaten by something. Volunteers have been gathering donations of food, and flea and tick preventatives to keep the homeless dogs as comfortable as possible until foster/adoptive homes can be found. Several volunteers gather each day at feed stations that have been set up in the areas. Monetary donations are also being collected so that when a home is found, the dog being pulled from the street can receive full veterinary care.
What these dogs need most are:
Foster/Adoptive homes-This is crucial. Without homes there is no choice but leave them on the streets. Transport can always be arranged to areas further north or south (West Palm Beach, Naples, the Keys, etc.). I can't stress enough how important available homes are to this rescue mission.
Monetary Donations-Dogs must be fully vetted before going to a home so funds have to be in place. Discounted (or donated) vet services would also be invaluable.
Food-Large quantities of food are needed to properly feed such a large amount of dogs (and most are medium-large sized dogs). There is a drop off location set up for the Broward area in Deerfield Beach. But drop offs/pick ups are also being arranged by volunteers in the Miami Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach counties.
Flea and Tick Preventatives-An absolute must to keep these dogs as healthy as possible while outdoors.
Other items that are needed are: Large harnesses, leashes, crates, towels, blankets, bug spray, bowls, Benadryl, treats.
Again, foster homes, monetary donations, and food are crucial.
