Project Gizmo
I am a volunteer for Partners for Pets Marianna. Mostly what I do is walk dogs on Thursday mornings about 8 am with my dog walking partners, and almost anything that Jayme Dill the shelter manager needs.
I am doing a fundraiser for Partners for Pets Marianna called Project Gizmo. The night in June that the old Board of Directors decided to shut down Partners for Pets I offered the board $5,000 to do a matching fund raiser. I would match the first $5,000 raised so that if it worked we would raise $10,000. The old Board of Directors turned me down. If you don’t know, Partners for Pets has a new Board of Directors and has reopened. The new board has agreed to let me do this fundraiser.
Partners for Pets is almost totally supported by donations. We do charge adoption fees, and we did get a nice grant for spay and neuter last year.
I am asking everyone to donate $10 a month to Partners for Pets. Go to the website partnersforpetsmarianna.com and look for Project Gizmo click the link and you can donate a fixed amount or monthly. I am asking for a small monthly donation so that Partners can have a steady income. If only 2,000 people donate $10 a month Partners can pay its bills and have money to finish the new shelter.
Now why did I name it Project Gizmo? Gizmo was at the shelter for about a year and a half. I was the first person to walk Gizmo. He was so scared he crawled out of the shelter. Jayme even said take him back and get another dog, but I said no he needs to go. After we got out every ten feet or so he would roll on his back and I would give him tummy pets. After about four or five of the tummy rub stops he went nuts, jumping up and down and being so happy with the attention he was getting. He became my best friend at the shelter. He was always very loving to me, and that is all these dogs want, is a home to have someone to love.
Gizmo was adopted about a month ago by a lady. I met her yesterday and she brought Gizmo with her. He looked amazing and I could tell they truly loved each other. She told me that when she starts to feel sad Gizmo knows and will jump up and lick the tears from her eyes and calm her down.
If you donate to Partners for Pets you might help the next Gizmo find his forever partner. Please we need your help.
The next Partners Board Meeting is August 16 at 5pm in the County Commissioners Meeting Room.
