 As you can see, Terry and Maureen have a rather
large family. These are only the dogs that they have kept for a variety of
reasons (health, per-sonality, etc.).
Many, many more arrive at SCARS daily, and the Cummins work very
hard (and with great success) to find forever homes for all of them. Remember, SCARS is a no-kill, non-profit,
501(c)(3) animal rescue organization, barely managing through donations
sent in by people like you.
They are always in need of volunteers and supplies
necessary for the daily care of more than 40 dogs. If you would like to volunteer, or know
of somebody with an interest in lending a helping hand, please call us at
the number in the middle panel of this newsletter. We need volunteers to help groom, feed,
and love the dogs. Some of the supplies of which they are in constant need
include collars, leashes, rope toys, (no towels), stainless steel dog
bowls, canned food and, of course, monetary
donations to offset our many costs.
Thanks so much for all your help,
Terry &
Maureen Cummins

Dear Friends and Family,
I would
like to introduce myself and tell you how I came to be the newest rescue
dog at SCARS. I had been living (if you  can call it that) for seven
years confined in a small cage when Maureen and Terry found me. Even though
there was “no room at the inn” they did not turn me away. Apparently, I was in something called
“dire straights.” I must admit I didn’t look like much in the beginning.
I went straight to the vet who
said I had infected teeth, toenails curling into my feet, and my hind legs
were nearly atrophied from living in a cage. I had to have  most of my teeth pulled and I
seem to have forgotten how to eat, so Maureen feeds me baby food at
breakfast, lunch and dinner. The vet
thinks in time I will learn to eat by myself. I hope so because I sure am getting tired
of these peas.
 I guess the baby food is
working, because I’m definitely getting stron-ger. It wasn’t very long
before Maureen gave me pool privileges.

I’ve heard some awfully sad stories from my new dog friends at SCARS,
but they are all healthy and happy now.
They sleep in the house, swim in the ponds and get plenty of good
food and treats. They know if the perfect new home isn’t found for them,
they have a forever home at SCARS.
There are a whole bunch more, each
with their own sad memories that they have all but forgotten now that
they are safe and happy. But all are
happy, now that they’ve found a home with Maureen and Terry.
 I hope you will find it in your
heart to send a contribution to SCARS so that Maureen and Terry can
continue to help little guys like me… and big ones too. Thanks to caring people like you I have a
new family, a new home, and a new name.
And when the world seems a bit too big for someone weighing three
pounds, I have two furry arms to hold me.
Thanks for all your
help,
Ziggy Stardust
