AMRO is a 501(c)3 organization that operates solely on the
donations of those who choose to support our work through
monetary and other means. It is very heartwarming to retain
the support of individuals, businesses, and families who are
as passionate as AMRO is about the work we do on behalf of our
favorite breed. AMRO highly respects the choice that our
supporters make to allow rescue to continue working on behalf
of the public and others, to not only promote adoption/rescue
but to in turn offer education to those who are not familiar
with the Malamute. Support through all avenues has permitted
AMRO to branch out across Ohio through public events, kennel
club shows and private fundraising activities.
All of the funds that we raise are directed to the care of
the animals that are with our organization. Each dog that
comes into rescue is:
- Given a thorough examination by a veterinarian
- Fully inoculated (includes distemper series
combination, Rabies & Bordetella vaccines)
- Heartworm tested and Flea control
- Kept on monthly heartworm preventative while in foster
care
- Spayed/neutered
This is the basic care that each
and every rescue dog receives. However, there are a few dogs
that come to us that are in need of more advanced medical
attention. Some of these examples could include: -a dog that
tests positive for heartworm disease and needs to receive the
treatment, which involves a 4-6 week period in which
additional blood work and x-rays may be required to further
diagnose the level of treatment; or, a dog that has need for a
fecal exam with follow up treatment for identified parasites
then a follow up fecal exam to confirm that the parasite is
gone.
These are only some of the examples of what AMRO has
encountered with dogs that needed further medical attention.
The second biggest expense that AMRO incurs is the daily fees
incurred to kennel a dog at a boarding facility when an open
foster home is not available to take the dog into their
private home.
