Home for the Holidays


Dear Friends-

It is hard to believe that we are heading towards the end of 2022.  As I sit down to write this to you, I am humbled by the generosity of our Boykin volunteers and community.  As of this writing, we are looking at a 30% increase in the number of intakes over last year.  However, that is only the start.  We have had over 25 catastrophic cases this year which is double the number of catastrophic cases of last year. Catastrophic cases are dogs with an excellent quality of life prognosis that can often require costly advanced diagnostics, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation and/or therapy.  Our dog care expenses have more than doubled in the last two years.  So, I come to you as I do each year to humbly ask for your help.  Our goal this year is to raise $150,000.  

I am sure your first question is “Why”?  “Why do so many Boykins require rehoming?”  “Why so many catastrophic cases?”  Neither of these questions has a singular answer. Some dogs come to us when their owners’ lives have changed, and the owners can no longer meet the dogs’ needs.  In other cases, some dogs’ medical needs are financially or emotionally/physically more than their owners can afford. Some of this year’s catastrophic cases included IVDD back surgeries; FHO hip surgeries; 2 dogs hit by cars requiring surgeries; a neurologic autoimmune disorder; all requiring extensive diagnostics and extensive rehabilitation. (Please see the back of the enclosed card for more details on dog metrics). But BSR remains that soft place for Boykins in need to land and our team moves mountains to make that happen. And none of that would be possible without your donations.

I am profoundly aware that our ask grows each year.  We are working diligently, finding other fundraising opportunities.  We have added new online auctions, raffles, portion of proceeds events and more.  We do a LOT of fundraising and are so very grateful to those who like to participate.  We also do a lot of grant writing and seeking out foundations who are looking to invest in a non-profit whose work is close to their hearts.

I used the word “invest’.  We truly look at each donation as an investment.  You are entrusting us to make good decisions and to provide the quality of care for each dog that is needed, as well as have a long-term, sustainable nonprofit that is transparent.  To that end, we remain open to speaking with you individually to answer any questions or provide additional information.  More about BSR, including our 2021 financial review and annual report, can be found on our website.  Still more can be found on our Guidestar profile (www.guidestar.org/profile/63-1260575).  

We are humbled and grateful to our Boykin community and your belief in us.  I wish you a wonderful holiday and a New Year of Peace & Health.

Sincerely.

Jill Freeman
President of the Board

Our Goal is $150.000.00

With Thanks to our Donors we have raised $112,884.52!
