Fundraiser to Help Bring Jake the Rescue Dog
Home to Alberta
Jake is
a Lab cross with an out of service # Drayton Valley, Alberta tag who ended up
lost and in an Imlay, Michigan Shelter.
Lisa contacted the Shelter to explore how to help Jake in the event that
his family was not located. The Shelter
was very open to working together to bring Jake home to Alberta & the
initiative formally launched. Jake has a
Charity ATB Financial bank account, Facebook page, & a twitter account.
Things are moving up in the world for this boy!
Hundreds
of people shared Jake’s posts in efforts to reunite him with his family. We did
not find them. Any inquiries about Jake came from Canadians as a result of this
collaborative initiative. No one locally called or came in to look for Jake. The
USA Shelter did their due diligence with the legal hold period to find the
family. Jake has been pulled by the
Imlay rescue and they are working with us to bring Jake home. Lisa found a
fabulous Alberta foster home for Jake and a wonderful no kill, foster home
based, Edmonton rescue for Jake to help oversee the process of finding Jake his
new forever home. www.InfiniteWOOFS.org. Lisa is excited about helping Jake
to find his new family. Jake is a happy and affectionate dog who loves to run
and play with his tennis ball. We are so excited to bring this boy home to have
an amazing second chance!!
We have
an approved ATB Financial Community Spirit Account set up for Jake. 100% of all
donations go directly to covering our expenses to bring him home. Income Tax receipts are available for
donations over $20.00. There are three
ways to donate: 1) Pay Pal to a friend – search for BringJakeHometoAlberta@shaw.ca. Select immediate transfer. 2) E-transfer to BringJakeHometoAlberta@shaw.ca 3) Go to any ATB Financial and deposit
directly to “Bring Jake Home” Community Spirit Account in Edmonton. Please include your name, email address,
& mailing address so that we can get a tax receipt to you.
We are
raising funds to cover the expenses related to bringing Jake home: pull fee
from the shelter, vet exam, vaccinations & health certificate, travel crate
& supplies, travel & plane fare, & further vet care upon arrival to
Edmonton. Many of the expenses are in US dollars.
Jake is now vet approved to travel and up to
date on his vaccinations. We are working on finalizing some of the legal
documents and travel arrangements.
Thousands
of people have been moved by Jake’s story.
There is a community of people in Canada & the USA collaborating to
bring Jake home. Thank you to those who have donated & reached out to
support Jake in so many ways. If you have questions please contact Lisa at:
