Today, we are undergoing some big changes. You might have noticed that the site has been redone, and that it carries a different name. "Eskie Facts" is a website devoted to educating people about this wonderful breed, and sharing the stories of Eskies who have found new lives through rescue.
Nebraska Heart Bandits has been dissolved indefinitely.
Nebraska Heart Bandits has helped save the lives of over 50 dogs in the short 4 months we have been in public operation. Many of those dogs were from the Puppy Mill we helped close down in June, our first month working. The majority of those dogs went to other rescues, like Hearts United for Animals in Auburn. However, each of those dogs passed through the hands of Nebraska Heart Bandits, and we are so happy to have been an instrument in ferrying them to a new life.
We have incurred thousands of dollars in debt, and with your help in fundraisers, we've been able to break just about even. We feel so privileged to be surrounded by supporters with such generous hearts!
We have faced a great many challenges in the last quarter year; challenges that many rescues do not have to deal with in their first few years. We met each one head on, and did the very best we could.
So, it is with a heavy heart that I announce today that Nebraska Heart Bandits will be suspending our rescue activity indefinitely. When we return to actively rescuing, it will be under a different moniker, as we are going to transition to an independent rescue rather than a branch of Heart Bandits, Inc. This will make it easier for us to succeed financially so that we can rescue more dogs than ever. In the meantime, this site will serve as an informational service for people interested in Eskies.
Jim, our director, is having health issues and needs time to recuperate. I am the only other member, and I certainly could not do this job alone. We hope to be active once again, under our new name, soon after the New Year.
Thank you so much for everything you've done - every story you've shared, every dime you've donated, every word of encouragement you have given us. We could not have come this far without you, and I hope you will be there for us again when we are back in business.
