“Ring. Ring. Ring...”
“Hello, this is Dudley” “Is this Bluff Animal Rescue?” “Yes it is” “ I’m traveling from__________ to _________ and I have this dog...” “We have no place to put it. Thanks to generous support from donors, BARC can supply food, collars, leashes, a dog carrier, vaccines, and spay/neuter for every fostered dog. But, unfortunately, we have no place to put it right now.” Damn,I get so tired of repeating this! Recently, 2 friendly dogs followed a horse from McCracken Mesa to Bluff and decided to spend a night at Recapture Lodge. With the help of Lois’s email to our community, the owners were notified and picked up the dogs the very next day.That was a good thing because we had no fosters available. The Simpsons have continued to foster a gentle German short hair pointer for the entire month of May, but, after a full year of foster care, they are done when this dog moves. Al Gerecke and Kathy Smith have been fostering a gentle pit bull all month. The Mormon Church has decided not to foster.We have been boarding 3 dogs for 3 months at $50.00/month. Being a foster is a lot of work, and it can continue for months. We need to know ahead of of time if someone will foster so we will know who to call when the next stray shows up. Suppose every family in Bluff agreed to be a foster once each year, or once every 2 years, or three. If that were to occur, we wouldn’t have a problem. Hey! Maybe there is a village in the town of Bluff. If not,.......? In this month we have adopted 3 dogs. Ann Brown has provided 2 transports to Underdog in Moab. We have vaccinated 16 puppies, and travelled 815 miles to deliver 934 pounds of dog food. I haven’t heard what the Town of Bluff plans to do about the dog situation. Stay tuned. BARC is grateful for all the financial support. - Dudley Beck
