2010 Needs and Requirements List 

• Operating Costs: Cash or payment of electric bill which is also the water bill and the main cooling for all the animals on the rescue in the hot summer months in the desert summers. 348.00$ a month.
• A generator for the water system in the event of power failure, which has been happening more and more with the age of the current systems being exceeded in demand due to one of the highest growth rates  in the country, the higher over all summer temperatures lasting for longer periods, and it's usually 110 in the shade for 8 months, which seems like forever. 
• 24" Drum Fans , 120.00$ at Home Depot or Lowes. Gift Cards Accepted!

• Cell phone line which includes the ability to take pictures of the animals in the shelters, at their homes, or where ever they may be. Without this wonderful invention we are back to the dark ages of taking pictures and waiting until they are developed before they can be scanned and eventually added to the internet. Minutes compared to weeks. This feature permits us to save animals on the spot. and has proven itself over and over again! This requires 100$ a month in operation costs for this service. 

• Ads in the News paper. 90% of our adoptions both new, old, and repeat, have used the Arizona Republic Gazette to find us. Ads with the Rep/Gaz  are currently running 25 $ for 3 lines for 3 days for private individuals placing ads. Donations can be made to WWR for these ads or call 623-546-9653 for other options. This is an ongoing need every week. Please help soon. 
• UPDATE!!!:

With the advent of our new  Adoption Page created by www.rescuegroups.org and the Pet Portal, and at all the sites supported by the Pet Portal, such as  www.wwr.petfinder.com as well as www.pets911.com and www.1800saveapet.com among others.., we have for the FIRST  TIME  in the 27 years that Where Wolves rescue has been in operation not run ads in the local newspaper. I'm not sure how many potential homes we have been losing because of this though. Normally a certain volume of adopters and homeless animals come through those ads and they are looking for Where Wolves Rescue because they have seen the ads every year for so long.  So for now we shall see if this turn out to be a good idea or not. For those of you using our rescue sites thank you very much for adopting a dog with the help of the internet.                                                          

THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST ADOPTION TOOL YET! AND WITH THE CELL PHONE ANIMALS CAN GET PLACED  IN MINUTES INSTEAD OF DAYS OR WEEKS EVEN A BIG YEAH FOR TECHNOLOGY FINALLY!

• UPDATE !!! ROSIE IS JUST FINE AND WILL BE AROUND FOR A LONG, LONG, TIME. She could use a regular visit to the vets and her shots updated though! Rosie ( the Riveter) had a freak accident 4 years ago now , where she herniated a disk in a moment of exercise. She was seen by the Veterinary Neurological Center In Phoenix, They performed an MRI on her and then proceeded to operate on her herniated disk. They cut a small window in the vertebrae and removed all the herniated disk material and the blood from the broken blood vessels. She remained in their care for another 2 days at which time she came home. Rosie has been on restricted movement as she recuperates. Since this all happened at the beginning of February, it is nice to tell you all that she is recuperating nicely already. She has full range of motion, she is running about and rough housing as usual and she really needs to not let herself overdo things as just a few weeks ago she was on death's doorstep. But as dogs are prone to doing, she doesn't seem to care, and wants to be back to normal NOW!  The bill at the vet neurological center was 6000$ glad to see our emergency fund working. Meanwhile the fund will have to be replaced as one never knows when an emergency could happen. WE STILL DON'T HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND !!! HELP !!!
