Donations: Thank You

Rescues do not exist in a vacuum.  We rely on people to help us, starting with the volunteers and staff at most animal shelters.  Without their dedication to dogs, the rescues would remain blissfully unaware when a dog was in need.  

We would also like to thank the following:

                                                     DONATIONS

A special thank you to the following people.  It is your help and support that enables us to help more Alaskan Malamutes.  We will be forever grateful.

We would like to let Mark Powell know that we appreciate his generous donation.  His donation has helped us to continue saving more Malamutes and we thank him.

Terry & Lenore Hardy of Brentwood, California adopted one of the rescue puppies that we called Aqua Man.  Their generous donation really helped us to pay off some of the expenses associated with neutering, vaccinating, microchipping, worming and caring for the entire litter of five.  Tom, I and everyone that adopted one of the puppies will forever be in your debt.  A heartfelt Thank You!

After the devastating lost of their first rescue dog, Poppy, to cancer, Kenny & Polly Yang of Diamond Bar decided to celebrate the adoption of their second rescue dog with a donation to our rescue.  The Yang family has added a beautiful, female named Nike to their family.  While we at rescue are thrilled with the Yang's way of celebrating, we also wish them many wonderful years with Nike.   

We received a lovely letter from Lisa Cohen of Palm Desert.  Lisa had some wonderful things to say about us as well as a donation toward our efforts in honor of Travis, Ingrid & Colton, which simply happen to be Lisa's rescued "Fur-Kids"!!  Thank you very much Lisa!

Two major thank you's are in order regarding the Katrina Rescue Dogs that we choose to help.

Kim Finger of Los Angeles founded the Rescue for Ruffugees organization (www.RescueforRuffugees.org) solely to help the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina.  She was directly responsible for saving the lives of over 300 dogs and cats that were displaced, starving and dying in New Orleans.

Kim was not only a saint to the animal victims but she was a saint to us as well.  Her generous donation to our rescue helped us with some of the large expenses that we occurred with the rescue and we remain extremely grateful!

We would like to let the folks at the Ventura Medical and Surgical Group on Sperry Avenue in Ventura know how grateful we are to them as well.  They were directly responsible for saving Jazz's life.  Because she was starving, at 45 lbs. Jazz, a purebred German Shepherd, hardly appeared pregnant but she became violently ill as the result of her litter of dead puppies becoming toxic inside of her.  VMSG saved her. 

VMSG also saved Mardi from a serious infection.  Mardi had cuts on his legs that were exposed to the deadly hurricane waters.  An infection penetrated his bone and he too became very ill.  We also would like to thank VMSG for being understanding and giving us extra time to scrape up the funds to pay off their bill.  Their patience has been God sent.

This is a thank you that we wish we did not need to list. 

Bill Bacon and his wife Molly of West Hills, California have been lovers of the Alaskan Malamute breed for years.  In memory of this devotion to the breed David Bacon of West Hills choose to honor his father with a donation to our rescue in memory of Bill G. Bacon.  Thank you David.  We send you and your family our deepest sympathy and are so sorry for your loss.

Sharon Whitley of Camarillo made a special donation in memory of Denny Jones. Denny was a wonderful, compassionate man that always had the welfare of dogs foremost on his mind.  Denny was always looking out for stray dogs to rescue.  While in his presence, you would be assured of a good laugh or two as he had a great sense of humor and great stories to tell. He was taken to soon by cancer and those that knew him, will always feel his loss!

We again wish to express our gratitude to Sharon Whitley of Camarillo.  No only did Sharon make a donation to our rescue but she dedicated to "Tahoe".  Tahoe is a handsome male that Sharon adopted from our rescue years ago.  As handsome as Tahoe was, it was hard to find him a new home because no one had given Tahoe any training for the first year of his life.  Sharon stuck with him through the good and the bad times and now has a loving companion.  He is still can be a little stinker at times but he is definitely Sharon's Little Stinker now!

A special thank you to Valerie Mckay-Bucher.  Valerie made a donation to our rescue in memory of her Alaskan Malamute "Biff".  Thank you, Valerie

Kristine Shuey of San Diego made a special donation to our rescue to be applied to help secure a new home for Shadow. Shadow is a male that has entered our rescue after his owner could no long care for him.  Thank you, Kristine

We would like to formally thank Barbara Bouyet for her talents, time and hard work to keep our website up and running correctly.  Without her efforts, you would not even be able to visit this site, not to mention being able to help the malamutes that need help.  She is invaluable to us!

We would like to recognize the efforts of Nichole Royer for her continued rescue work for malamutes everywhere, especially for us here in southern California. We are extremely lucky to have her on our side.

Thank you to Fran Toll of Studio City for her donation to help Alaskan Malamute Rescue.

We would like to acknowledge Judith & Delane Lytle of Granada Hills for their donation in honor of their beloved Westies, Rocky & Holly.  Two very special dogs.
