"HOMELESS FOR THE HOLIDAYS"
BROOKLYN, NY ADOPTION EVENT

Sponsored by In Our Hands Rescue, Inc,
The Mayor's Alliance of NYC, North Shore Animal League and the Regal Theater

Sadly, many homeless pets did not find homes for the Holidays--

Thanks to our friends at the Mayor's Alliance of NYC, North Shore Animal League and The Regal Theater, IOHR will be holding an adoption event to help place the many animals still held in foster or boarding. When you adopt a pet, you will open a space in rescue for another death-row animal to be saved.

The event will take place on
Saturday December 27th
11 AM - 5 PM
In front of the Regal Theater, located at:

106 Court Street
Brooklyn, NY 11209

Cats, kittens, puppies and dogs are all anxiously awaiting homes for the New Year.

The winter lull is rolling in, but animals' lives still hang in the balance

Dear Friends,
 
     Autumn is turning colder, and like every autumn, adoptions slow, donations wane-- but animals still need rescue.  As you read in our last newsletter, IOHR took a leading role in helping to alleviate the pressure on the shelter system and has taken in many, many animals in need of immediate homes after a recent cruelty case bust.  The animals in our care continue to require food, medical care and other supplies to keep them clean, healthy and adoptable.

     Our dogs need your help too.  A double ureter transplant for Madeline shocked our financial stores-- medical treatment of nearly $5,000 saved her, but who will save us? One month earlier, our Violet was hit by a car. She was saved, but for another $5,000.  As a result we halted all rescues for a time, until funds were raised, and some of you rose to the challenge. Not nearly enough was recovered, and with the strain of winter's dryspell beginning, we must appeal to you for further support of our operations.
 
      How could we say no, when little Dixie came to us, and 3 days later, broke with deadly Parvo? We simply couldn't. If an animal can saved, we do everything we can to save it. Sadly, her brother Banjo did not make it, but Dixie is now healthy, active, vibrant and nearly ready for adoption-- after hospitalization and special care, costing nearly $1,000. What is a life worth? Far more than that. Just ask our adopters:
 
"Buford is doing great!  It is great to see him learning to play with the other dogs.  He sleeps under the covers between Jim and I.  He is such a love!!!!  Jimmy loves him so much.  He loves the car so he goes everywhere with us. We really love him.
What you do for these furry kids is amazing!!!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
