You will have noticed that there are many "In Memory of Stanley" donations. Who is Stanley?
Here is Stanley's Story, written by Jeannine Culbertson in May, 2016. Stanley touched many hearts and he will live on through the generosity of so many of you.
We in BSR don't generally post about what we do behind the scenes, but I'm going to break that rule today. On an average week we may be working to get 1 or 2 dogs into our system, transported to a foster and then on to get preliminary vet care to know what lies ahead for that dog. But a few weeks back we were actively working 7 cases: a stray for which we have a detailed 10-day owner search procedure; 1 owner surrender, 1 dog with another rescue deemed not at risk, 1 owner assist whereby approved applicants are channeled to an owner looking to re-home their own dog, and finally 3 shelter pulls.
For each dog we intake, a foster must be found and we contact regional coordinators all over to start scouring the lists of volunteers. Younger and healthier dogs are easier to find fosters for, although arranging transports to wherever that foster lives is part of the daily puzzle. Lately there have been no fosters in the same areas as the intakes, so we've started stretching up north, down to the south west and out to the midwest to get the job done.
And then there are dogs like Stanley.
Our FB readers have seen me post about him, first trying to find a permanent foster, then when one devoted volunteer who had just finished fostering a dog for 5 months stepped up, more posts trying to get him to that foster in the Midwest. Today was to be Stanley's start of a life of love in his golden years. A life where we would cure his heartworms and severe bilateral ear infections, work around his deafness and blindness, and monitor some suspicious growths but otherwise nurse him back to health. All that was supposed to happen. But Stanley didn't make it.
By the time our special angel of a volunteer went to pull him from the vet where he had been staying while waiting for a home, we were met with veterinary staff who had done what they could but still had a terribly fear-driven, terrified and unpredictable dog that was exhausted by pain and the years' hard toll on him. This was a broken dog we couldn't fix. That special angel stayed with Stanley, helping him to cross the bridge with compassion, dignity and love.
This is rescue at it's rawest and ugliest, and yet, within hours, the messages were coming in about other dogs to track and investigate. We are thankful that Operation LBD can pursue the dogs we can't, and together we work to find a way, any way, of helping the less fortunate of the brown dog nation.
So in honor of Stanley, chip your dogs and keep your info current; give your dogs preventatives for heartworms, fleas and ticks, and allow them to grow old by your side, with all the love and care you have. Then, with the time and treasure you have left, consider helping rescue. I can't promise it'll all be fun, but it WILL make a difference to a dog!!
