Most Rescuers drive old cars, repairs put on the backburner because yet another poor soul needs expensive vetting. Rescuers will do without things others probably take for granted---because money only goes so far and the number of animals needing help never diminishes.
We take calls at all hours of the day and night. Why not--not a one of us sleeps well after the horrors we've seen--and when we do sleep, we hear the whimpering of those animals in our dreams.

What do rescue fees pay for?
Read about Hope and Freedom at http://www.dogality.com. Perhaps you'd like to read Eleanor's Rescue. http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/dog_rescue/73609. Eleanor's vet bills have exceded $1500, she will likely be here until she dies--as few wish to take on a senior Pyr.
Or read about Shelby, http://www.greatpyreneesrescue.net/rbmemorial.htm.
Or the TN 5, http://www.greatpyreneesrescue.net/rescues2.htm.
In January, PRN was having a 19 week old rescue spayed in a clinic near Knoxville--the clinic called to tell me 5 Pyrs had just been dumped. I also had a Rescue in KY. In just two days I charged the neutering and vetting of 7 dogs to my credit cards. The females of the TN 5 will require extensive fostering. They were afraid and unsocialized, and very malnourished.
Are the fees too high?
