Thank you for a wonderful 2009!

We want to thank everyone who contributed to our Annual Fundraising Drive!

     Our Annual Fundraising Drive is our yearly effort to raise funds to ensure we have the resources to help dogs with additional medical needs beyond the usual vetting.  Because of your support, this year we were able to take in 56 English Springer Spaniels in need.  Because of the economy, this year was a special challenge.  We received many dogs whose owners were no longer able to take care of them financially, or who were losing their homes and moving to a location where they could no longer keep their dogs.

     We could never do what we do and have had such a successful year without the hard work of our many volunteers and the help and financial contributions of all of our friends, adoptive homes and supporters.  In addition, our primary rescue vet, Chelmsford Veterinary Hospital, and many of our fosters’ vets and behaviorists across New England provide care for our dogs at a discounted rate, stretching our dollars as far as they can go!

     Some of the medical issues we treated this year were 3 dogs with seizure disorders, 1 dog with Cushing’s disease, another with drug resistant pseudomonas in her ears, 2 that required ACL surgery, and 2 more requiring ear canal oblation surgery (the ear canal was so scarred from recurrent infections it could no longer be saved).  In addition, five more dogs required surgery--three to remove tumors, one for bowel intusseption, and one for congential knee issues.  This medical treatment was all in addition to our normal spay/neuter program and regular vetting which includes a wellness check, all vaccinations and a 3-way test.

     We hope that in the coming year you'll continue your support of NEESSR, Inc. whether by adopting, volunteering, shopping or contributing to the care of our foster dogs.  Again, thank you for your donation and the difference you allowed us to make in the lives of these springers.

Your Donation Matters

NEESSR feels very strongly that no adoptable dog should be left behind because of medical costs. We receive donations from folks who adopt our dogs and also those who surrender their dogs. But sometimes that isn't enough to cover medical costs for a dog that needs more than routine exams, treatments, and spaying/neutering.

If you would like to help us with these additional costs, please send your tax-deductible donations to the address below. We thank you for helping us help them.

Many thanks are due to our rescue vet, Chelmsford Animal Hospital (Dr. Patricia Berchtold, Dr. Patricia Hart, and Dr.  Mark Engelhardt), Ashland Animal Hospital (Dr. David Schwarz) and Dr. Joel Wolfson who have offered sizable discounts to treat our Special Needs Springers. We still need donations to cover remaining costs, but their generosity has made it easier for us to make up the difference with donations. To learn more about these generous doctors, please visit http://www.burlingtonvet.com/vets.html www.chelmsfordanimalhospital.com  or www.ashlandanimalhospital.com .

We also receive much-needed discounts from many other vets in New England and we thank them for their support.
 

        Thank you so much for your generosity.
