HAPPY HOLY WIGGLE-BUTT NEW YEAR! WE ARE STARTING 2012 OFF WITH A BANG AND JUST HAVE TO HAVE FAITH THAT WE WILL HAVE YOUR HELP!
Oh BOY!!! Here we are !! Early Januay 2012 and already we have 8 dogs that we have taken in . All young and so adoptable and we really need your help more than we ever have before to help us pull this off. We are a very small rescue , and donations are very sporadic. We know this is a huge undertaking to ask of you all , we have never taken in this many dogs at once ever before in this short of time, but we find it heart wrentching to see such young and deserving young dogs be euthanized, so we are asking desperately for your help. We are in critical need of donations to help us cover medical and transport costs to get these dogs the medical care they need and into our rescue to safety. No amount is too small. As much as we hate asking we really need your help. If each of our supporters could donate even $5 and share this with their friends, together we can make this happen.
We are also in dire need of fosters, but we do ask that you please read the foster information before completing our application and applying. By opening your home and your heart, it means that we can continue our work and be able to bring other dogs to safety.
We also ask that each of you consider becoming a monthly donor and join our BUDDY PROGRAM. With ongoing monthly donations that can be relied upon,it is truly the key to helping us save more dogs Make this the year you make a difference by helping us save a life.
We thank you all for all the help and support that you have shown us in the past and hope that you will be able to participate in helping us save even more lives this year. If you have some fundraising ideas that you would like to share , please send us an email .

We need HELP!
08/ 17/11 We had a vet emergency yesterday with Amy who came into our rescue pregnant. She had a long and complicated delivery and we ended up at the emergency vet hospital last night as she expelled a dead puppy. Sadly one of the other pups did not make it. The estimate has now risen to approximately $1,600 as they want to keep Amy a second night. Please consider donating via the chip-in set up below or if you would prefer directly to Shaw Pet Hospital by calling (250) 652-4312. Please be sure to tell them it is for Amy and her puppies with Lisa Atterby, Angels Under Our Wings. Thank you for supporting animal rescue!
Amy
This sweet, gentle little girl was rescued from a high kill shelter. She's is now safe in our rescue but before we can find her a great home she needs to be spayed and at the same time undergo surgery for Cherry Eye. (This is a common eye problem - straightforward surgery will fix the prolapsed gland of the third eyelid). Now just $600 is standing between Amy and the loving home she deserves! This pretty little girl who loves people and gets along well with other dogs just has this one more obstacle to overcome. Please help Amy over this one last hurdle so she can find her forever family!
Donations can be made via PayPal through the chip-in set up below or by calling our vet at (250) 595-1239 please be sure to say it's a "Donation for Amy with Angels Under Our Wings". If you prefer to send a cheque our address is: PO Box 24059, 4420 West Saanich Road, Victoria, BC V8Z 7E7 and indicate on the cheque "For Amy".
With a little luck and some generosity from dog lovers, Amy will soon have the home she has been dreaming of. Help us make that happen!
Your donation, whether small or large, can be the one that makes the difference! Thank you for supporting animal rescue!
Tori
We just received some bad news from the lady who runs the boarding facility that Tori is currently at. Her eye with the cherry eye is red and bluish, it does not look right at all and she needs to see an eye doctor asap. This is a new development as her eye looked normal other than the cherry eye when she was first out of the shelter. We have started a chipin below to raise funds so she can go. Please spread the word far and wide we need donations. Thank you!
Taylor
UPDATE: Taylor has now had her first ear ablation surgery and is recovering nicely! The vet said her ears are some of the worst he has ever seen. Her first ear surgery was a little more than we anticipated $1,741.0 (copy of the bill can be seen here). Now we just need to continue our fundraising efforts so we can pay off our current vet debt (copy of bill can be seen here) and finish paying off Taylor's bill so she can get her second ear surgery. Please consider donating and spreading the word with everyone you know so Taylor can get the last surgery she needs. No donation is too small...it all adds up! Thank you for supporting animal rescue!
A huge thank you to some very special supporters for helping us pay our vet debt down through Lifeline Animal Clinic to $1,100.00 and thank goodness as we just received Taylor's bill of $4,242.57 (copy of bill can be seen here) for her boarding and medical care (this does not include the surgery she needs to fix her ears). So please continue to spread the word far and wide that Angels Under Our Wings desperately needs donations. We had 2 dogs in boarding that we just moved up and sadly because of how in debt we are that is it for rescuing new dogs until ALL of our old vet debt is paid off. Please consider donating...no amount is too small! Thank you! If you would like to make a donation directly to our vet debt with Lifeline Animal Clinic please call (250) 595-1239. Thank you so much for supporting animal rescue!
Foster Homes Urgently Needed
The shelters are once again overflowing with cockers at the moment. We are full and have no available space so need to reach out and ask for foster homes in order to be able to save some of these dogs from being euthanized. With the volume of dogs entering the shelter system daily many perfectly adoptable dogs are being put to sleep simply for lack of space. If you can help us literally save a life please visit our Foster section to learn more about what fostering entails and if you feel you can help please complete our online Foster Application. If there is a chance you are interested in adopting as well but want to try fostering first than just complete our Adoption Application and let us know you want to foster first. This will save you from having to fill out 2 applications. Thank you for supporting animal rescue!
"DONATIONS URGENTLY NEEDED"
We admit we have a hard time asking for help but if we are going to keep rescuing we are going to have to swallow our pride and well...beg. We continually have vet debt as we often take in medical needs dogs especially ones with cherry eyes as we know this can be easily although not inexpensively fixed and these dog will get overlooked in the shelter as a result. Our adoption fees DO NOT cover our expenses for most of the dogs we take in and subsequently the extra comes out of our pockets. However we can't continue to do this ongoing and if we want to keep our little rescue group afloat and continue to save cockers in high kill shelters and elsewhere we need your help! Please consider donating ~ 100% of all donations go directly to helping the cockers in need. Donations can either be made directly to our vet Lifeline Animal Clinic by phone at (250) 595-1239 or by mail to Angels Under Our Wings @ PO Box 24059, 4420 West Saanich Road, Victoria, BC V8Z 7E7. No amount is too small...can you imagine if everyone who visited our site made even a $5 donation how many cockers we could save! Thank you for supporting animal rescue!!
The shelters in Los Angeles are currently overflowing and we are saddened right now we can't take in even one more dog as we have vet bills to pay off and no available space. We made this video in the hopes that maybe one dog might be saved! Please send this video to everyone you know and ask them to donate just $5 and maybe together we can raise enough funds to give some of them or even just one of them a second chance by enabling them to go to boarding as a temporary safe haven (boarding for one dog runs a minimum of $200 and up depending on where we can find available space). Who knows maybe someone will want to adopt one or can maybe foster one until their forever home is found. Thank you for supporting animal rescue!
