MARR-VELOUS PET RESCUES
 
Looking for a new addition to your family? What better way to expand than to adopt a loving pet.

We're dedicated to uniting pets with loving homes and families.  Our pets are part of our families and we take great care in making sure that they are provided for and taken care of.
Dear Editor,  
   
    Stand Up for Animals would like to thank our community for the tremendous response to last week's influx of puppy mill dogs. When all 48 animals were surrendered to SUFA, our elation at avoiding a court batttle was tempered  with panic - "Where will we put them?"  
    Within hours, however, a steady stream of volunteers and foster parents from Key West to Homestead came to the shelter to open their homes and their hearts to these frightened and confused animals.
   Every adoptable puppy and most of the adult dogs found in the warehouse are now in a loving home.  The list of people and groups to thank is too long to print in its entirety - but we do want to acknowledge the neighbors that cared enough to call when they first sensed something was amiss and the quick response of Marathon City officials and the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
   Pat McCarthy and Stacy Shippe of Outta the Blue Marina sponsored a marine yard sale that raised nearly $1,000 the very day SUFA discovered the dogs - perfect timing to help defray their spay and neuter costs!   The very next day, Marathon Plumbing came to the rescue and helped build new pens. 
    Our gratitude also to Key Largo's Marr-Velous Pet Rescue for immediately fostering, altering and adopting three puppies and Homestead's Pink Poodle Salon for shampooing and shaving oodles of poodle fur!
     Finally, while these 48 dogs were fortunate enough to be discovered,  countless others languish in farms, warehouses and garages across the country, mass-producing puppies with factory-like efficiency under conditions even worse than those found in the Marathon warehouse.   Please remember every puppy "rescued" from a pet store or purchased over the Internet encourages this ugly business...while shelters are filled with purebreds as well as mixed breeds waiting for good homes that may never come.
   Thanks again to everyone who helped this group's story have a happy ending.
Dr. Linda Gottwald
Executive Director, SUFA
