Seniors...Truly A Blessing!!
First and foremost, 100% of the money raised from this auction will
go to Keeshond Lovers United, Inc. (KLU), a non-profit 501(c)3 rescue organization
serving the midwest with KS and MO licensed
shelters. The proceeds will help needy Keeshonden,
and the occasional Eskie. Kris, KLU co-founder,
has helped with American Eskimo rescue for
several years now and has had several puppymill
reskies in her home. During a ND puppymill
buyout, she
volunteered to foster 5 needy/pregnant Eskies
when Eskie fosterhomes were unavailable.
Kris is licensed by her state for both breeds.
The money from this auction will be divided between KLU's general fund and their new Gidget Fund.
The general fund pays the typical rescue expenses plus purchase large equipment (dog runs, etc) so KLU can take in more dogs. All 3 of the original KLU board members are planning on moving in the next year to acreage where they will be able to rescue more dogs. Plans include erecting small buildings (like yardbarns) and fencing to enable 3-4 dogs to share a run. The runs WILL BELONG TO KLU and can be moved from one location to another, if necessary. The "equipment" will NOT be the property of Kris or the other board members. It will belong to KLU. This will enable KLU to rescue more dogs, the majority being SENIOR dogs.
| KLU will evaluate these senior dogs, rehab them, and then use the Gidget Fund to place the senior dogs in loving homes. The Gidget Fund is a new fund focusing on older dogs. First priority is heartworm treatment for these older dogs. Next, is implementing their "senior to senior" program. KLU plans to place senior dogs in the homes of senior citizens - "lifetime" fosters, so to speak. The Gidget fund will pay all medical, grooming and food costs, if necessary. Plus, KLU will provide a human mentor to help with transportation, shopping, etc. This fund will pay for all of this plus advertising costs. |  |

Senior dogs are an added blessing to our lives, and will add so much to senior citizens' lives. Plus, these 2L seniors will be saving Kees' lives! It's a win-win situation.
It takes a special person to adopt an older dog. The old dogs are usually the last to be adopted. Unfortunately, some must journey to the Bridge due to lack of homes. If YOU can, add a senior dog to YOUR family. There are many needing saved, and you will truly be blessed...you haven't experienced "all the unconditional love available", until you are owned by a senior dog!!
