DONATIONS to our Rescue Fund
Donations to our Rescue Fund are greatly appreciated.
We often take in neglected hounds, some of them severe. We provide them with whatever health care they require, and sometimes the expense can be significant. We would not be able to do this without the generosity of our donors.
RESCUE FUND DONATATIONS by PAYPAL:
Log in to your PayPal account and
send your donation to: IWRescueoftheMidSouth@gmail.com
Under the "Send Money" option, send as a gift to avoid a fee being taken out of your donation.
Thank you for your generosity!
DONATE by CHECK:
Please send it to our Treasurer at:
Melissa Jackson
1429 Forest Hill Drive
Leland, NC 28451
If you are no longer able to care for your Irish Wolfhound
Please contact our Rescue Coordinator (see left) to discuss all we can do to help you and your hound.
We have excellent pre-approved homes that are Veterinarian reference checked, personal reference checked, premise checked, and often are Irish Wolfhound experienced, waiting to provide a loving, safe, and responsible home.
In addition, the owner of an Irish Wolfhound that comes through IWAMS rescue is eligible for a grant from the Irish Wolfhound Foundation (www.iwfoundation.org/iwfrescue.html) if they experience a major veterinary expense with your Irish Wolfhound that creates a financial burden.
Our priority and commitment is to the safety, comfort, and
well-being of your beloved hound and we place yours with as much care, love, and due diligence as our own.
