Keep the Wheels Rolling

posted July 11th, 2009 by Staff

The OAA Wheels of Hope rescue/transport van made possible by friends of animals such as you has already made a difference in the lives of 42 adult dogs and 9 puppies. That is the total that has been transported from shelters and breeders to adoption facilities where they have an excellent chance of finding their forever homes. Needless to say the alternative is unacceptable.

We will be leaving this Tuesday night for our third trip to Denver with at least 40 dogs. For the first time we will be taking 2 vans, one provided through the generosity of Kyla Holderness. Also, we just brought three labs from a breeder in Missouri to Lab Rescue in Tulsa. In addition we have 2 trips scheduled in August from the Tulsa shelter. Indeed, we are scheduled through December with transport trips to Denver.

We have 17 confirmed volunteer drivers from Tulsa, Oklahoma City, McAlester, Watts, Ft. Gibson, and point’s in-between that are giving of their time (2 days for Denver trip) to this effort. We call them our “A” team and they are absolutely wonderful. We are meeting soon with possibly 8 from the Eufaula area that has expressed an interest in being volunteer drivers.

How can you help? Needless to say these trips are not cheap. It costs an average of $500.00 each trip to Denver which includes gas, motel, food, turnpike tolls, etc. So, we desperately need contributions to help keep the Wheels of Hope rolling. Please don’t think that perhaps a small contribution will not be of much help. Literally every penny counts. All of your contributions will go toward the Wheels of Hope rescue/transport effort. Not one penny goes for administrative expenses. If we are to continue this life saving program we need your help. Please do it now. No amount is too small (or too large!) and you will know you made a difference in an animal’s life…literally.

Thanks for all you do for the animals.
