Here, friends, is the most accurate dad joke of the bunch. We live in an area of mountains and severe elevation changes. When an animal is in an emergency situation it's often a long ways away. We have ropes that are 300 ft long and that's generally enough. We've had a horse 8 miles up a trail. Whew, that was a long hike to haul ourselves and the equipment up. We're also here for the long haul of the future, and that's where you come in. Help us buy the ropes, especially as safer, stronger, and lighter ropes are developed in the future. Help us buy the carabiners, pulleys, and all the other pieces of a system. Help us fund our training and pay for our gas. We'll hike up the trail, bring the dog up the cliff. Thanks for your support. We'll do the actual hauling. https://www.wagives.org/organization/Wasart (fb)

How are you doing, folks? Staying hydrated? Do you need a snack? We're all volunteers, and we're here because we, like you, also love animals. But animals can't talk. They communicate for sure. We see they need help out of the situation they are in. They are scared, anxious, in pain. They are looking for their owners. Their owners are scared too. At the end of the day, our goal is to make all that better: the dog is reunited, the horse is no longer stuck in mud. We check on our fellow volunteers, who are also tired, "are you okay to drive home?" So we also ask you, supporters: how are you? Help us out with our work, if you have the resources and bandwidth, would you? https://wasart.org/givebig (fb)
