“| Explanation:| Trinity Gap Rescue supports the Euless TX Animal Shelter. All shelter dogs come into our rescue after 3 business days to allow the owner to respond or immediately if the dog was surrendered by the owner. We schedule an evaluation with a veterinarian to provide initial vaccines and determine any medical issues. We usually work with one group of veterinarians but occasionally may see others including emergency clinics. Services that are provided by our veterinarians include spay neuter procedures all necessary vaccines or medications and may include heartworm or parvo treatment if tested positive surgeries for tumor removal both cancerous and non-cancerous removal of foreign objects and many other procedures as dictated by the exam. Some dogs may require multiple follow-up visits or treatment over several months. We cared for 30 puppies this year. Consequently the majority of our expenses are for veterinarian care.”

“| Explanation:| When dogs have been vetted but a foster home is not available for them we cannot temporarily return them to the shelter to wait for a foster. Therefore the short-term solution is to board the dog with one of 3 boarding facilities that work with rescues in our area. As a foster becomes available the dog is removed from boarding and placed in a foster home. Some dogs may take longer to find a foster based on breed size etc. Also a dog that has been adopted may be returned to us by its adopter at a time when no foster is available and would have to be boarded.”

“| Explanation:| Trinity Gap Rescue provides food and supplies needed by our fosters to maintain one of our dogs in their home prior to adoption. This includes kennels food puppy supplies treats toys collars leashes harnesses etc. This may be bought locally and delivered by a volunteer picked up by the foster or ordered through Amazon and shipped directly to the foster's home.”
