This came in as a comment on a previous post and we wanted to share it on the main page….
“If I was a homeless dog , without anyone in my life there to watch over me….I would get down on my hind legs and I would then pray. I would pray for DIRECTION ! Directions that would lead me to THIS facility RUFFFHouse!
While I would hope to stay for only a little while, I could at least sleep with ease, and not run endlessly with worry of finding something ,if anything to eat. And I would know for a fact that , I’m certain to meet new friends, where we all shall have plenty to eat & drink , as the room service is exquisite and the lads and lassies keep the quarters clean as a’whistle ! And no tippin’ is required.
If you ever become a homeless dog , all alone with nobody to watch over you…you’ll want to get down on your hind legs also , and pray for directions to find the place that all abandoned canines …now refer to as…” The HEELTON “.
Thank you Hillarie and Gary for your endless and selfless endeavor, which speaks for itself upon one visit. And Thank You Again. and again …and freekin’ again………….”
Thank you to everyone that participated in our RUFFF Challenge Chip-In fundraiser. We didn’t reach our goal but that is OK, it was a lofty one!
Since we didn’t however, we are in dire need to raise $2,000 in the next week to keep our attorney from dropping our case (and keeping the $1,500 we already paid him). When these cases are done it should be the end of legal for us and all of the animals at RUFFF! We just need to get through this one (and we’re sure we’re going to WIN when we keep the case going) and get back to doing what we all all here working for!
We posted about this nearly a month ago and received several nasty responses from readers stating that it had no validity! Although the information we were given (regarding specific brand recalls, but not about the FDA’s warning) wasn’t entirely, 100% correct, the warning is here again with a statement direct from the FDA.
HOW TO WASH A CAT:
1.Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat…….is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power-wash” and rinse.” Don’t worry, kitty won’t go “down the tube,” cause she won’t fit.
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where she will dry herself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
RUFFF must raise $10k in 10 days to save our sanctuary, RUFFFHouse! Please give whatever you can to save the lives of nearly 300 dogs, cats and pottbellied pigs. Anonomous donor will match any donation up to $500.00! Even a dollar or two will help us reach our goal.
The money is being used veterinary fees, pet food, operating expenses, and legal fees! RUFFF has NO paid staff and is all volunteer!
A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun,
too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He’s been here for days now with nothing
to do but sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can’t understand why you left him
that day. He thought that you were stopping
to play. He’s sure you’ll come back and
that’s why he stays.
How long will he suffer? How many more
days? His legs have grown weak; his throat’s
parched and dry. He’s sick now from
hunger and falls with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes.
I wish you could see how a waiting dog dies
KINGMAN – Even a Mohave County Superior Court judge seemed puzzled Tuesday as to how a local sanctuary owner was to solve the Catch-22 she found herself in with the County Planning and Zoning and Health departments.
The Mohave County Civil Attorney’s Office and RUFFF owner Hillarie Allison have been battling over getting the proper health and zoning use permits for the animal sanctuary for more than a year.
