Why didn't they love me enough to give me
heartworm preventative?

  Rest in Peace, sweet girl - September 4, 2007

We found Kaycee too late to save her.  The heart worms that devastated her body for so many years before she was rescued could have been prevented by a simple monthly pill.  Her last days may have been her best - she was cared for and loved.

Stray dogs have special problems and often come in to rescue needing extra medical treatment for conditions such as heartworm disease or injury.  The cost of treatment is high so we have dedicated a special fund raising effort in Kaycee's memory to help dogs like her get a good start on their second life in a loving home.  Over the past 3 years, almost 35% of our expenses have been for successfully treating heartworm and emergency surgical needs for dogs coming into rescue.  If you would like to help us continue to provide this type of care, consider donating to the Special Vet Care drive inspired by Kaycee's plight.  You can send donations via Paypal or to our mailing address below.  Thank you from all her fellow canines who will receive treatment and live a normal, healthy life.

To mail in a donation, please make out your check or money order (in $US) to "JNMRF-SVC" fund and mail it to JNMRF, P.O. Box 65, Mendenhall, PA 19357.

WANT TO SPONSOR A SPECIFIC DOG?
Many times you'll see a dog on our site and fall in love.  Often you just aren't in a position to adopt right now.  If this happens, why not consider sponsoring that dog's upkeep?  Just click on the drawing of the sleeping elkhound to contact us about sponsoring any dog!  There is a link on the menu bar at the left of each page as well.  That dog will really appreciate your love.  Thank you!

UPDATES on Buddy and Sheba

BOTH THESE DOGS HAVE FOUND WONDERFUL HOMES.  THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THEM AND HAS FOLLOWED THEIR STORY. 

See their full story on their own page.



 

Established in August of 1996, we believe this to be the oldest Elkhound Rescue page on the Internet. It arose from the common desires of group of people with one common goal: to find caring, loving homes for Norwegian Elkhounds and Elkhound mixes, in both the United States and Canada. Eventually these desires and goal became the foundation of a rescue organization called the John Nelsen Moosedog Rescue Fund.

If you cannot adopt a needy Elkhound now, but would like to help with our efforts, you can make a donation to:

 

John Nelsen Moosedog Rescue Fund
P.O. Box 65
Mendenhall, PA 19357

or

Via PayPal

If you need other information, contact us at rescue@jnmrf.org or visit us at www.jnmrf.org

Your donations and gifts are tax deductible. We have received our determination letter from the IRS and are classified as a tax exempt organization described in section 501c3.

If you wish to refer a needy dog to us, please use the Submit for Adoption form to provide as much information as possible.  We are a national rescue and need information on the location of the dog as well as the legal owner or responsible party.
